00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Thank you. So I'm seventeen, and I know you're not

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: seventeen anymore, but you once were, Danny, believe it or not.

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: So I want to hear about you as a seventeen

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: year old. What was your game?

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 3: Like, I'll tell you I wasn't as informed as you

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: kids are today, Like I was not that smart. To

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 3: be able to run a podcast is impressive.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Thank you.

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: My game, I would say I was good at a

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: lot of things, but not great at anything. And that

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: was my kind of thing throughout most of my life.

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: I was a late bloomer where I didn't get recruited

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: highly until my senior year. Like, I could pass the

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: ball pretty well, like a rebound, well like a blockheit

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: I could play defense. I could shoot decently. I could

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: back then, I could handle the ball decently. Now I

23
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: haven't dribbled. I don't dribble as a pro. I didn't

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: dribble much at all, but I could do a little

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: bit of everything pretty well. But it wasn't great at anything.

26
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't until I got to even after college. It

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: wasn't until I got to the pros where I kind

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 3: of honed in on one specific thing and tried to

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: be great at it, and I started getting better at

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: shooting and I focus on certain things. But when I

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 3: was younger, my game was do a little bit of everything.

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: I played pretty much all five positions.

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: So as a late bloomer, when did it hit you, like, wait,

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: I think I can make it to the leate.

35
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: It was always a goal and I never thought it

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: was achievable. It kind of came and gone multiple times

37
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: throughout my life. So seventeen no, I think when I

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: got McDonald's, I got selected to being a McDonald's game,

39
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: it was like, Okay, I might have a chance. And

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: then I went to college. Then it was like coming

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: off the bench start all over again. I had to

42
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: do all four years. I wasn't starting that. I didn't

43
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: start till my senior year, so it was like I

44
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: might get a chance unity to make it to the NBA.

45
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: Then it was like after my junior year, I played well.

46
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: I still came off the bench, but it was like,

47
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 3: I might have a shot at making to the NBA.

48
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Senior year we won a national title. Was lucky enough

49
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: to do that. Then it was like, all right, this

50
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: might be an opportunity not only make the league, but

51
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: be able to.

52
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Like beat in the league and play.

53
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Then once I got there, it was like, uh, you know,

54
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: I got cut a couple of times, had to find

55
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: a rotation. I'm like, I don't know if I'll be

56
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: a rotational player in this league. So it was kind

57
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: of up and down. But the first time that I

58
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: thought I had a shot at doing it was when

59
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 3: I made the McDonald's All American Game.

60
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I see. Okay, So you mentioned UNC, which is where

61
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: you went to college, and like you said, where you

62
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: won a national championship, which is amazing. How and why

63
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: did you choose UNC over other offers you had, like Georgetown, Yukon.

64
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: It was it was easy. It was easy for me.

65
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: I grew up a Carolina fan, so I mean I

66
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: was a kid as a kid because you grew up

67
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: in New York. I grew up in New York.

68
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: My father was a fan of certain back as I

69
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: learned as I got older. He was a fan of

70
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: the good teams and a great kind of kind of

71
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: you know, we weren't New York sports fans. We weren't

72
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: a bit except for the Yankees were in big jets.

73
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: He does like them now, but I didn't grow up watch.

74
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: I grew up watching like Michael Jordan and the Bulls,

75
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: like certain players, and then you know, Michael Jordan I

76
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 3: was went to Carolina and Jerry Stackhouse or Sheep Wallace

77
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: and all those guys. Some of the greatest players have

78
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: come from that school. And it was back then a

79
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: big time school, and if you were able to go there,

80
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: it was like you had a really good shot at

81
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: making it to the NBA. So I grew up as

82
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: a fan as a kid because of my dad. He's

83
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: a fan of the game, and all my family were

84
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 3: fans of other not just Carolina, but other players and

85
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: other teams and pros and certain colleges, but Carolina was

86
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: it was.

87
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: Once they started recruiting. It was easy decision for me.

88
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Three or four years. What was your favorite memory at UNC.

89
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: Man, It's hard just because I had a lot of

90
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: great battles with my teammates, my brothers became an adult

91
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: in college. They say the best years of your life

92
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: for a reason, because you know you never have that

93
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: experience again.

94
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: And the pros.

95
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: It's tough because freeg and see everybody, like trades, move changes,

96
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: you don't keep the same group together for a long

97
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: period of time. But every I have a lot of memories.

98
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: I woul see national title was number one, but beating

99
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: Duke and Duke every time we played there is pretty

100
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: special memories. Like we beat them a good amount of times.

101
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: I was lucky enough to go undefeated. And Cameron and

102
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: every even the losses, every loss that we had in

103
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: the tournament, every time we went to the tournament, AC

104
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: tournament and the NCAA tournament. Every time we went to

105
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: the tournament, we went further each year and even though

106
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: we didn't you know, we weren't successful or as successful

107
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: as we wanted to be, it was a learning experience.

108
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: And those were the best memories, even the losses, because

109
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: we went to battle and our brothers, they showed how

110
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: much we cared and loved you know, the game, and

111
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: how much you know, blood, sweat and tears we put

112
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: into it. So it was it was those were special

113
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: memories as well.

114
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, so speaking of Duke, I want to know, like,

115
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: are the camera crazy? Is really that crazy?

116
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

117
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: I mean I think the world is different now than

118
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 3: how it was then. There's a lot of things. Yeah,

119
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: you can't say certain things now, you can't do certain

120
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: things now. But yeah, I always thought they held like

121
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: classes because they had certain like chance that they would do.

122
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: They'd be on like in sync, they would be you know,

123
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: have certain signs, even certain even in Maryland and Clemson,

124
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: they had some great arenas where student section and fans

125
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: would say things will have great signs, would be funny.

126
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: And back then they had the speedo guy. I don't

127
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: know if you guys ever looked that up before. I

128
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: think he was banned after all, he wasn't allowed at

129
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: a certain point. But that was a funny thing. But

130
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: they had some great crazy I was like, if you're

131
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: a fan of Duke, they had some you know, some

132
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 3: great like things that they did, you know, to try

133
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: to distract players that came in. And you know, it

134
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: was always fun for us, especially if you win, it's

135
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: always funny after, but if you lose, it's a it's

136
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: a pain and ass and yeah, but yeah, we enjoyed

137
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 3: the moments of going into other teams buildings and obviously

138
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: winning some games with seeing with how creative the fans were.

139
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's cool for sure. It seems like you

140
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: had an incredible experience at UNC, and like you guys know,

141
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm seventeen, so I'm just.

142
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you're du Yeah, we can we can

143
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: over you know, chap Hill was a little better than Duke.

144
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: I would say so, not pitching it fully.

145
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: But I do want to you're a pitch. That's what

146
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: was nast you pitched me.

147
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: I think it's better than Duke, And obviously not because

148
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: which is better overall? Okay, but I think there's a

149
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: more like the diversity is there. Yeah, it's better. We

150
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: have a it's a great little bubble. But you know,

151
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: they love their sports, they love their people. They're very hospitable.

152
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: Everything is Carolina blue, from you know, the fire hydrants

153
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: to the fire trucks. Wow, that's yeahs sky blue everywhere.

00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:32,920

00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: It's a good pitch. I'm not going to consider it,

159
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: Thank you.

160
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: Dan.

161
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: So earlier you said that your dad wasn't really a

162
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: New York sports fan other than the Yankees, which didn't

163
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: really give you any reason to be a York fan either.

164
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: So growing up you weren't a Knicks fan. Did you

165
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: ever go to games at the Garden or that special?

166
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: No, I mean so we never a Knicks fan, mind you.

167
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: I mean it wasn't a I wouldn'tay, it wasn't a thing.

168
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: I wasn't. No, I wasn't They had some times. I

169
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: wasn't poor, but I wasn't like one of those kids

170
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: that can just buy a bunch of tickets to go places.

171
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: And we were so stuck in basketball. We just played.

172
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: We didn't have time for anything else to like go

173
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: attend a bunch of stuff. So like back then we

174
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: played three and four games a day. Now, you know,

175
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: kids are there's load managed LOLd management in every level

176
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: now from high school to college. You know, we play

177
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: a lot of football. I played, I played a lot

178
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: of basketball. We played a lot of sports, but we

179
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: just wasn't at the time when it was time. We

180
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: didn't are fortunate enough to go and be in great seats.

181
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: But I was not a Knicks fan. I was not

182
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: a Mets fan or Giants. He is a fan of

183
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: some of those teams now as he've gotten older. But

184
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: I said, I was always a fan of certain players,

185
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: even though we came to football. It was like, you

186
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: know Peyton Manning, it said, Michael Jordan will come to NBA.

187
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: Even you know certain other teams, certain players. But it

188
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: was not the New York sports fan. And I'm not

189
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: saying I disliked them, but I just never grew up

190
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: in that of being a New York like New York.

191
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: I was in New York, but not a New York

192
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: sports fan.

193
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:01,559
Speaker 2: I see.

194
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: So when I was researching for this episode, I read

195
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: something pretty cool about you that in your freshman year

196
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: of high school you were actually the quarterback on your

197
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: schools football team.

198
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: I did.

199
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: I did play football up until my sophomore year and

200
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: then I transferred school.

201
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, what was that like? Having to balance basketball,

202
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: football and academic workload?

203
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: That wasn't easy.

204
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: The hardest part for me was actually making the decision

205
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: to choose which one I wanted to play like full time.

206
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: That was the hard part, But trying to balance academics

207
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: high school. I feel like I wouldn't say super easy,

208
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: but it's easier. I went to public school until I transferred. Yeah,

209
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: so public school is not as challenging as private school

210
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: where you have like academic detention and stuff like that

211
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: you have to wear a uniform every day. Once I transferred,

212
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: I realized it was a lot harder and different. So

213
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 3: trying to do all those sports and carry the academic

214
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: load it would have been tougher. And in college doing

215
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: the same carrying that load with the credits you're trying

216
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: to keep with eight am classes and stuff like that.

217
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: So for me, the hard part was said it was

218
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: giving up football because I loved it a lot as

219
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: a kid, and it was like choosing which one I

220
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: wanted to do and like focus on that and try

221
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: to like make myself into that and go to school

222
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: for free for playing that sport. But yeah, doing academics

223
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: wasn't wasn't easy either. With playing a bunch of sports,

224
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: it was. It was challenging.

225
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: I want to hear what your uniform looked like.

226
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: It's some of them at school for us, I mean

227
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: we just had like a blue navy blazer, like khaki pants,

228
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: like like beige pants, white button, white button up and tie.

229
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: You had to wear a suit. You couldn't wear you

230
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: had to like you get to shave. You couldn't wear jewelry.

231
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 3: You can wear earrings, you couldn't wear a lot of things.

232
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: You have to make sure your tie, pants were buckled

233
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: up and up on your waist. Because your kids used

234
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 3: to wear pants sag and a little bit, make sure

235
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 3: you I think they still do. Yeah, I'm sure there's

236
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: things have changed, but I'm sure it's similar. But yeah,

237
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 3: we just had a blazer, button up tie and and

238
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: some khaki pants, and I think it changed, like if

239
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: freshman sophomore had to wear different colored pants something like that.

240
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: You already. Yeah, uniforms are crazy. I only had one

241
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: in elementary school, and I actually now I realize I

242
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: liked it because now I have to wake up every

243
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: morning and it makes it easy where yeah, you just

244
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: have to roll out of you on the thing.

245
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 3: You appreciate more things as an adult, you realize, like

246
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: like even now, like we appreciate appreciate learning things new

247
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: every day, but when you're in school, you like you

248
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 3: don't care to learn certain things. Yeah, back then, it's

249
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: like I wanted to wear outfits. But it's like it

250
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: made things easy for me. I didn't have to choose

251
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: outfit every day. You know, I just iron the same clothes,

252
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: clean what I need to clean, make sure I have

253
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: like five of the same button ups, a blazer, and

254
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: some khaki pants, same uniform every day.

255
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: So it made it very easy. But I didn't appreciate

256
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: it till I got older.

257
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, agreed. Okay, So now I want to move

258
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: on to about your NBA career. We heard about you

259
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: when you were seventeen, but now we're going to talk

260
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: real hoops. Okay, So I want to start off with

261
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen title against the Heat and Brown. Looking back,

262
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: what stands out to you most about that?

263
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: Twenty thirteen was not a great standout year. For the

264
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: thing that I remember most is losing.

265
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know.

266
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: We had a great fun series. I played well, had

267
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: a chance to win, and I've been lucky. I've won three,

268
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: so you know, by any means, not trying to be greedy,

269
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: but it would be nice to have gotten that other

270
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: one too, and I had a chance of being like

271
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: finals MVP. Everybody talks about that, had a great series.

272
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: But the memory that says out the most is just

273
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: how much fun it was getting there and playing there,

274
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: but just ultimately we did lose and lost in seven

275
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 3: game series and it really took a turn in game

276
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: six for us. So that ray Allen shot always comes

277
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 3: to mind when everybody brings up twenty thirteen.

278
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you talked about how you've won three rings,

279
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: which is an incredible accomplishment, and later on in the

280
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: interview of Action asking you a trivia question about that.

281
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: So I had to get excited, get.

282
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: Get start thinking brain rolling exactly.

283
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: But I want to know obviously all of them were

284
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: extremely important to you in different ways. Is they're one

285
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: that stood out the most?

286
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: You know, people ask that all the time, like which

287
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 3: one was the like the most important? Yeah, it's like,

288
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 3: I don't know. You guys might have kids here. Every

289
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: time somebody I give them analogy, like if you have

290
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: multiple kids, which you can't choose your favorite, which one

291
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: which experience was If I'm sure they appreciate one they

292
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: parent you differently, and I probably appreciate one that's less maintenance,

293
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: low maintenance than the others. But each birth experience, I'm

294
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: sure they enjoyed love and they like them for different reasons.

295
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: You know, your first is your first. So San Antonio

296
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: was probably the most special. The most fun I had

297
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: during the year was probably in Toronto, and then the

298
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: most difficult one was probably in the Bubble. Mentally, emotionally

299
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: was tough. But they're all special to me in different ways.

300
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: I can't say I love one more than the other

301
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: because you know, they're all your kids. They're all your kids,

302
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: you know, So that's what I'd like to give people

303
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: that analogy.

304
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: But they're all with special but said in different ways.

305
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: What do you say to the haters that say, oh,

306
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: the Bubble Ring wasn't real.

307
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: The ring is real. You know, I still I got

308
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: the hardware. To anybody else wanted, they'd still be I

309
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: think it's just mostly because there's the Lakers, Yes, that too.

310
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: People either love or hate the Lakers, and people will

311
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: love or hate Lebron, you know what I'm saying.

312
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: There's Lebron haters and there's.

313
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: You know, Lakers theaters, so you know, and a lot

314
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: of those people that don't like the Disney Mickey Mouse

315
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: ring or somebody else that won, they'd give them full credit.

316
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: You know, it happens.

317
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: You know, nobody can take that away from you, regardless

318
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: of what the stipulations were or the conditions were, a

319
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: lot of teams have won because of injuries, or because

320
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: somebody wasn't somewhere, or because of you know, uh, a

321
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: lockout year. You know, they don't say they don't put asteris.

322
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: Oh you won because of lockout, It doesn't matter. You

323
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: want somebody has to win. And you know, we were

324
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: fortunate enough to get that done, be that team to

325
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: be the last one standing.

326
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I know during the locko you played in Slovenia, right,

327
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: I did like that. I did quite different from the NBA.

328
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: Very humbling, yes, very different. I did not know where

329
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: it was. I'm not great at geography. Even as I've

330
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: gotten older, I'm still not great at geography on the.

331
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: Map, and that's like one of my best things.

332
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I never heard of the country until my

333
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 3: AE brought it to my attention. So I didn't know

334
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: where it was. I never heard of it. I didn't

335
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: know what the language was. They spoke there. Luckily they

336
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: did speak English, most of them did. It was a

337
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: nice city, it was cool, it was clean. But yeah,

338
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: that lifestyle is very different, you know, travel, the way

339
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 3: you travel is different, the way you play is different.

340
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: The way you practice different twice a day, the weather

341
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: is different, the way you get paid is different. So

342
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: it was very humbling and it made me appreciate the

343
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: NBA very much, so much more. And once I was

344
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: able to get back, I was like, you know, I

345
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: want to make sure that I'd stay here as long

346
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: as I can, and I'm gonna work to to not

347
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: ever leave this place if I.

348
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: If I don't have to.

349
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: But you know, knocked over overseas, it's a great opportunity

350
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: to play and make money. I even thought about going

351
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: back at some point before I retired, but you know,

352
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: I have a family now, so things are different. You

353
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: have to make decisions not only for yourself but for

354
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: the people that are you know, attached, you know, attached

355
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: to you. So yeah, but overseas, that experience was humbling.

356
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: There's different places that are different, so, you know, because

357
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: how do.

358
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: You choose Slovenia over China or Spain or that was

359
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: just the opportunity.

360
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: It's usually the opportunities that present to you. You get

361
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: a chance to choose. Sometimes a lot of times you don't,

362
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: even just like an NBA like, sometimes very few people

363
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: get to choose where they want to go when they

364
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: want to go, and how they want to get paid.

365
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: And that's just anything in life you get was presented

366
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: to you. Weigh the options and see what's the best opportunity,

367
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: and it's like, you know, this is something I could

368
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: make good money, stay in shape, play and play well,

369
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: and then also you know, explore some of Europe.

370
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, totally. Obviously I was just a little baby

371
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: when you when you were on the Spurs, So though

372
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't remember much of it, I've obviously seen really

373
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: cool YouTube clips and everything like that from that Spurs era.

374
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: And I'm curious, what's the best quote coach Pop ever

375
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: said to your team?

376
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: Ooh, there's so many.

377
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: There's so many gems that I've learned from Pop just

378
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: as a man, uh not not you know, I would

379
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: say as a player, yeah, but as an adult. You know,

380
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: he put a lot of things perspective for us of like,

381
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: you know, don't take it for granted. The NBA is

382
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: Christmas every day. There's real world problems going on, and

383
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: he give us examples, you know, every couple of days

384
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: to be you know, thorough countries are going through this.

385
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: There's a world going over here, there's people getting bombed

386
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: over here, like and you're waking up. Just play basketball

387
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: game to work and make a lot of money to

388
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: take care of yourself and your family. So those things

389
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: always put things like they always, you know, gave us

390
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: a good perspective on life.

391
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: But I do.

392
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: Hold a certain amount of things that pertain to your

393
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: character that he said close And one of the things

394
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: is why Timmy is so great of.

395
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: Who he is and why he.

396
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: Was and Pop is they never allowed the game to

397
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: or let themselves feel bigger than the game or bigger

398
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: than anyone else. So you know, the biggest company he

399
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: ever gave Timmy was you know, he's the same gentleman

400
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: that walked through that door when he was rookie that

401
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: he is now when he's finished playing. And Pop is

402
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: the same guy I'm sure that he is now that

403
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: he when he was when he first got that.

404
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: He's never changed.

405
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: So you know his always that would say kind of

406
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 3: stay even keel, never let it get too high, gatu lo,

407
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 3: but never allow any of these things to change you

408
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: as a person, or let let it go to your

409
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: head and think you're bigger than anything because you're good

410
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: at a basketball game.

411
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: You can see that in all the aspects of Tim Duncan,

412
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: like from his outfits to the way he plays his

413
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: outfits are was there a specific outfit of Tim's ever

414
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: that he walked in?

415
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: I love them all?

416
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: Are you wearing?

417
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: I love them all?

418
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 3: Because he allowed us because usually you follow the superstars

419
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 3: lead when it comes to anything.

420
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: And if so, you were gonna start wearing Burkinstone.

421
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: I'm just it just made it easy for us because

422
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: there was no like certain teams have like a uniform,

423
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: not a uniform, but they have like a dress code.

424
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 3: It's like before we get on the plane, make sure

425
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: you wear team sweats or you know, certain in Carolina

426
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 3: we had to wear suits and ties, like for certain

427
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 3: pregame meals with Timmy because he was so las a

428
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: fair with everything, it was like, yeah, you know, we

429
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: don't have to have a dress code, don't have to

430
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: do this, would have to It's like, you know, you

431
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: could be comfortable. You know, even when we went to dinners,

432
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: like yeah, we have this thing with team dinner. You know,

433
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: certain superstars like yeah, make sure you're dressed up or

434
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: do this with fact like and even on certain teams,

435
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 3: you just feel you have to keep up, which ultimately

436
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: means you probably have to spend more money to like

437
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: wear fashionable things. With Timmy was like, you don't have

438
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: to impress anybody. You don't have to keep up, and

439
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: you don't have to like there's not many restrictions or

440
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: rules when it comes to doing those type of things

441
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 3: outside of basketball.

442
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: Yeah. So there's another superstar that you played with that

443
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: is quite different from Tim Duncan. Yeah, that's Kawhi letter

444
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: you want two chips, Yes, Kawai right, And we all

445
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: see Kawhi being this guy that doesn't laugh, is very serious,

446
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, a little quirky. But you have had such

447
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: a deeper relationship with him. I'm wondering what does Kawi

448
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: look like behind the scenes.

449
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 3: Actually, him and Timmy aren't that much different. And Timmy

450
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: seemed seemed like a Kawi I got most people too.

451
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people thought Timmy didn't talk.

452
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: Timmy talked a lot. Actually, he was a very good leader.

453
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: He was encouraging not only with his words but his actions,

454
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: and Kawhi saying as he got older he became more

455
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 3: of a leader.

456
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: Ye.

457
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: But behind close doors, he's a funny guy and he

458
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: cracks jokes. It's just funnier when it comes from him

459
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 3: because you just don't expect it. But uh, yeah, him

460
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 3: and Timmy are very much to themselves. They're quiet, they

461
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: don't but they lead when they need to. He loves

462
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 3: to compete, you know. He gets to the gym, really

463
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: leaves late, you know, takes care of his body, does

464
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 3: the things he's supposed to. It sucks to see him

465
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 3: go through the injuries he's gone through. But I said,

466
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: him and Timmy are very similar in the fact that

467
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 3: they do work. They do say themselves, but they do

468
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: talk and make jokes and like to do certain things

469
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: when they have the time to.

470
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's funny that you called him duncan Timmy.

471
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: I haven't really heard that. I like that, So I'm

472
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: just calling that. What's the best Timmy dunk?

473
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: You'd on his friends and call him that. No, Timmy

474
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: is great man, So the best Timmy dunk? Tim dunk?

475
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: Tim's story so the best story of him, just like

476
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: off the off the court, I don't know. I mean,

477
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've seen more of it now that he's

478
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: done playing like he does the UFC or the taekwondo

479
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 3: like he does some fighting and stuff that I imagine

480
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: him as one of those guys is ready for the

481
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: end of the world, Like if it was a zombie apocalypse,

482
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: He's the guy I'm running to or his house because

483
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure he has like a safe house, a bunker

484
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: and all the weapons you need. I just remember we

485
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: did paintball with him and he's six eleven, but somehow

486
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: he's very stealthy.

487
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: You know, you can't hit him.

488
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: He's finding you, he's hitting you all over the play

489
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: and we had a rule don't hit guys too close,

490
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: but he was smoking everybody in this paintball action that

491
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 3: we had.

492
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: And he's very good.

493
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: So so if there's a zombie apocalypse, I think he's

494
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: very prepared and he's probably a really good shot. So he's,

495
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: you know, good at a lot of things, you know,

496
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 3: off the court that more than you would expect.

497
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: He was a swim or too. Growing up.

498
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 3: I learned that the hard like I think guys learned

499
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: that the hard way, because they would come in and

500
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 3: bet that they could race him in a swimming and

501
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 3: they'd always lose. Only one person I think got him,

502
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: and I think that was Aaron Bains. Bains was really good.

503
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken. But they both swim like a

504
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 3: fish man, those big big boils dolphins in the water,

505
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: and they take up a lot of space and they

506
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: move very fast in the water.

507
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: That's so cool. I love to hear that. So I

508
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: want to talk, you know, earlier we talked a little

509
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: bit about the Lakers ring being in the bubble for fans.

510
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: What was life like in the bubble? Not really basketball.

511
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: I can't even found them what to be like for

512
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: basically the whole NBA to be staying in one yeah.

513
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, some guys pointed out to be terrible,

514
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 3: some guys painted out to be like, you know, it

515
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: was lovely because of the resort.

516
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: I think it was nice.

517
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: It was a nice stay like this is a beautiful

518
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: place that we're in, right, But no matter how beautiful

519
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: the place is, if you're stay in this place for

520
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 3: one hundred days, it could make you feel you know, enclosed,

521
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: or like feel like you're captured or not in you know,

522
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: you're mentally it'll wear on you. So they did the

523
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: best they could and did a great job of making

524
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: sure everybody stayed clean, no one got sick. Testing people.

525
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: We had the first month or two without families they

526
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: came in later.

527
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: That was tough.

528
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: You know, you're in your own small space. You're just

529
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: with the seeing the same people every day, eating the

530
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 3: same foods, walk on the same campus. But they brought

531
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: in good food. They brought us some chefs, some like chefs.

532
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: They brought in some food from out side for us

533
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: at times. So that was great. But even when you're

534
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 3: eating great meals, if you're eating the same meals every day,

535
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 3: it's like you get tired of it. You know, I

536
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: want some canes or some taco bell that you don't

537
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: get those access to all those things. So that made

538
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: it challenging. But ultimately I said, it was a really

539
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: nice space. They did a great job. It just was

540
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: mentally emotionally draining because you're in that space for so

541
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: like we were there for almost one hundred days.

542
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, that sounds crazy. I'm glad I

543
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: didn't have to be a part of that. So a

544
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: classic podcast question, just interview question, is you know what's

545
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: your all time starting five? But you know Slow Noses

546
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: a show where as a teenage girl, I like to

547
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: mix it up a little bit, So I'm going to

548
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: ask you some all time starting fives, but with some

549
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: certain categories to shake it up a little bit. So

550
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: your last name Green is quite the common last name NBA.

551
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: What is your all time starting five of NBA players

552
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: with the last name Green?

553
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: Oh, all right, all right, let me see. I'm gonna

554
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 3: put Raymond in there at the four. I'm gonna put

555
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: myself at the two. I think I'm gonna put Gerald

556
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: Green at the three. Willie Green, Yeah, Gerald, Yeah, second

557
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: or third? One of those we found out in high school.

558
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: That's another funny story. I want to say Willy Green.

559
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: He's coaching for no Orland still right. I think I

560
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: would put him at the one and at the five.

561
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think who would that's that's a That's

562
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 3: a tough one. I'd have to probably go to small

563
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: because I don't think there's any centers.

564
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: That's a five. A C. Green, Jamichael Green, Jamichael Jamichael Green,

565
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: a C. Green.

566
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, those guys. I'm there's a lot of Greens, but

567
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 3: either J. Michael probably a C. Green probably he is

568
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: more of a legendary.

569
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: No respect to J. Mike, he's a great teammate. But

570
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: a C. Green. I think it's a legendary dude. For sure.

571
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. The next starting five is you've played with some

572
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: incredible teammates. What's your starting five of your all time teammates.

573
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's always tough for me. I'm gonna go with.

574
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: The five position is the hardest. H At the one,

575
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. This one's tough too because it's between

576
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: Kyle Ir and Tony Parker, and it's like.

577
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong with I'm off the bat that's fine.

578
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so I'm gonna put those two together. But

579
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: before at the one, it's those are my best point

580
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: guards that I got a chance to play with. At

581
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: the two, Manu probably probably for sure, Manu at the three,

582
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: Kawhi at the four, Timmy actually an the four bron.

583
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was about to say, you're leaving out someone.

584
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: Okay, this is gonna be crazy because I'm gonna have

585
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: to leave somebody out because I actually got a chance

586
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 3: to play with Shaq. So I'm gonna put Shack at

587
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 3: the five, Tommy at the four, Bron at the three,

588
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: Kawhi at the two, just to throw it out there

589
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: and I'll put I have to put a spur in this.

590
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put Tony at the one. I like k

591
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: Low at the one as well. I left off Kawhi,

592
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 3: which is unbelievably hard. Said, yes, KAUI at the two,

593
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: but I left who do I leave off at the two?

594
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: Manu? I left Manow he can be the sixth minutes.

595
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, that is a good I got Timmy

596
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: in there. So I got Timmy, Shaq, Bron Kawhi and

597
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: then Tony at the one. But I mean I would

598
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 3: that could be k Low as well. So I've had

599
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: some really great teammates. I left off a D Oh wow.

600
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's crazy.

601
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: And Dwight. I've played with Dwight. I played with a D.

602
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: I played with Rondo. You know, I could have threw Ron.

603
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: I know that chance to play Rondo in his prime,

604
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: and I always wish I could have done that. But yeah,

605
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: I played with a lot of great players.

606
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah you did. Okay, the last starting five, I'm gonna

607
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: ask you about this. Before the interview started, Danny and

608
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: I were talking a lot about fast food and crumble

609
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: cookies and taco bell and canes and all that good stuff.

610
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: And I want to know if you had to make

611
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: a starting five a fast food rest, oh Man, what

612
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: it would be but I also want you to be strategic, right. Yeah,

613
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: It's like in my head, right, you could be like, oh, no,

614
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: Taco is a point guard, Like I don't see Taco

615
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: bell as the center. You know, you really got to

616
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: think about it that way to really make sure that

617
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: team's going eighty two and up.

618
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: Yes, So my fast food preferences have changed over time

619
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: when I was younger, definitely heavy on some other things.

620
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: I'm definitely gonna put Chipotle.

621
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: In there, obviously at a position.

622
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 3: Probably at the two. I'm gonna probably put Canes at

623
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: the three, at the four.

624
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: Five guys.

625
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: It's interesting that you don't think five guys should be

626
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: at the five, right, That would be yeah, classic.

627
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: Because I feel like you need like the best fast

628
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: like your best fast food place, probably at the center.

629
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: I think may maybe Chick fil at the five. Can

630
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: put Chick fil at the five at the point guard position? Man,

631
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, like, that's tough. I'm trying to

632
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: think of what else that I haven't cut out because

633
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things I used to eat that

634
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: I don't eat.

635
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be a classic like a McDonald's

636
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: or like your least I.

637
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: Can't put McDonald's in there. That would be really bad. Yeah, Okay,

638
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: I used to eat McDonald's way back.

639
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: No, in and out, I'll put in and out the way.

640
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

641
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: Because you're an LA guy, I'll put in and out

642
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: of one.

643
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna put because I'm a l

644
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: A guy. But I lived in Texas for a really

645
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 3: long time and water Burger. I'm gonna put Waterburger at the.

646
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: One time I just had Waterburger for the first time.

647
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: It's good.

648
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 3: It's good, and I feel like it's more of a

649
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: locational thing, like if you live in that atmosphere, it's

650
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: just a late night you know, everybody has a munchy

651
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 3: spot Northeast people with like White Castle, that was the

652
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: thing back in the day. Yeah, water Burger is like

653
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 3: the spot that's like it hits especially late night sometimes

654
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: I think it used to be open twenty four hours.

655
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: But it's like a cultural thing and you become like

656
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 3: people here, people like, oh they come to visit, Like

657
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 3: in and out is not that great, but if you

658
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: are part of it, you live here, it's a cultural thing.

659
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: It's like it's a late night great munchy spot or

660
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 3: whenever you're in the mood for it.

661
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you said that because I actually sort

662
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: of agree that in and out is like I love it,

663
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: I love going in some of my friends whatever, but

664
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: like it's really not it's someone blindfolded me Burger.

665
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 3: I'd be like, yeah, same with Waterburger, like your first time, like, oh,

666
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 3: people really hype this up, but over time it gets better.

667
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: Like you, it's sort of like sink into it. That's

668
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: I'm don't have to have it a second time not

669
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: to like understand really what it's about. So three your career,

670
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: you sort of bounce back and forth between the NBA

671
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: and what used to be called the D League the

672
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: NBA Development League.

673
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is now the G League.

674
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Exactly, which is now the G League. What do you

675
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: say to guys in a similar situation who are bouncing

676
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: back and forth between the NBA and the league. What

677
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: advice do you have for them on how to sort

678
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: of hand handle that?

679
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: Meant?

680
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: You know, I see a lot of the young guys

681
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 3: today now, and they're going through some different things because

682
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 3: the expectation with social media becomes like more expectations. Take

683
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 3: for instance, like LEBRONI right, Everybody's like he's got a

684
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: four year deal, he's supposed to be this that maybe

685
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: he's not ready, and maybe in his mind he's thinking like, oh,

686
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm not ready, I'm not good enough. News flash, kid,

687
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: none of us were good enough, Like we weren't good

688
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: at the time. A lot of us when we first

689
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 3: came in, we were not great. So don't get discouraged,

690
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: you know, like, enjoy the time, embrace the process of

691
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 3: getting better, you know, work on your game, and eventually

692
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: you will be confident you'll be good enough. The G

693
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: League was a great tool for me to not only

694
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: get better, but gain confidence in myself and what i'll

695
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: you know, what I was doing, and be the player

696
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 3: that I you know, be a rotational NBA player. So

697
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 3: guys that are watching or take advice, you know, just

698
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: don't look down upon it. Don't think it's a like demotion,

699
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: you know, just have fun, enjoy it.

700
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: Get better. We've all been there.

701
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: We've all, even the greatest of great have started out

702
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: as not a great, but like come off the bench

703
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: or not. Kobe Bryant came out to the bench from point,

704
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: you know, like Reggie Miller, all these guys. You don't

705
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: realize that until you're like, oh, you know, damn, I

706
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: thought he came in was a star right away. None

707
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: of these guys were stars right away like some of them. Yes,

708
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: but very few guys come in and be great or

709
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: stars right away. Ninety percent of us, like have to

710
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: go through that. So you know, just to enjoy it,

711
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: embrace it in and don't get discouraged. You know you can.

712
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 3: If you don't think you're good enough right now or

713
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: an NBA player right now, doesn't mean you can't be

714
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: very soon.

715
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great advice and I feel like it can

716
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: apply to really life as well.

717
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: For sure, with anything you do.

718
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you're only going to get better at but

719
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: if you have consistent repetition of it.

720
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: So now you're a couple months into your retirement, do

721
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: you even watch basketball anymore?

722
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: I do because I have to, it's my job. But yes,

723
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: with a little one, I don't watch as much TV.

724
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: Even when I played. You know, people talking about the

725
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: ratings are down, but I didn't watch it as much.

726
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: I watched what I had to because of teams that

727
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 3: I played, or scouted or players. But I didn't want

728
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: to burn myself out. I was such a big fan

729
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: as a kid, and I watched it so much of

730
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 3: my life. As I got older, It's like, you know what,

731
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to I want to step away from it.

732
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: When I'm home.

733
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: I want to watch TV series and movies and be

734
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: fresh for like, all right, I'm not burnt out. When

735
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: I come into the gym and watch film. It's like,

736
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 3: all right, it's fresh for me. So I do watch

737
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: it now, not as much as I did when I

738
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: was younger. I's still am a big movie above TV

739
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: series guy, and because I a little wanted to watch

740
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: a lot of TV. But yes, I do have to watch.

741
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: Burn my job moving into the rapid fire a little bit.

742
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: Because you said you like movies and TV shows. What's

743
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: the best movie you've ever seen?

744
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: There's a million I can't get.

745
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: I can't eve give wait, okay, what about this? Starting

746
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: five best movies?

747
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I have to give like one from each category.

748
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: Right, there's like a drama, it's like a comedy, a

749
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: rom com. There's too many movies to choose from. But

750
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: like growing up, like the movies that I love to watch,

751
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: and I have tattoos of them on my body, like

752
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: the Teenage Mutant, Ninja Turtles, Godzilla movies, not like Marvel movies.

753
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: Those were some of my favorite movies to watch as

754
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: a youngster, and even as an adult, you know, it

755
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: still brings me back to childhood. But now I'm a

756
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: big murder mystery guy.

757
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: Like I like that anything with murder I can't do.

758
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: It freaks me out.

759
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: I think you'll grow out it, like once you understand

760
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: certain I didn't like scary movies when I was younger,

761
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: but now watching it and I try to predict things

762
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: or see how things are made, and you can see

763
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: when the sounds are coming in there trying to scare

764
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: you jump, So not scared anymore. When I was a

765
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: young kid, I didn't like scary movies. But now I

766
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: appreciate all aspects of film, so that may be some

767
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: that I want to tap into later on in life.

768
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: We need to see in a movie, I wouldn't.

769
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be a post but yeah, maybe one day

770
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind being behind the scenes and see how

771
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: it works. And like writing because I feel like a

772
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: lot of movies are predictable, and the ones that that

773
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 3: I guess capture my attention to the ones that are

774
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,560

813
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: Swimming people A lot of guys say swim because I

814
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,640

815
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 3: I didn't swim a lot as I got older, or

816
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,800

818
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: like I used to play football, but I don't think

819
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 3: I would be Yeah, it's an Olympic sport.

820
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: But there's random things like curling or like breakdowns.

821
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking like maybe maybe volleyball or something

822
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: like that, saying volleyball or something like that.

823
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,000

824
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: It's pretty rare trying to think of something I did

825
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: like ping pong a lot, you know, ping pong, you

826
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: know it if I took that serious and like, I

Speaker 3: would love to be like Forrest Gump, you know.

828
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: Just yeah, all right. So now, if you walk into

829
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: an ice cream shop right, literally every single flavor is

830
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: out there, What flavor are you getting? And then what

831
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: topics are you putting on it? And then are you

832
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: going cup or con because that really says a lot

833
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: about a person.

834
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 3: Cup golt Man uh around, she looked a little crazy.

835
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go cup.

836
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go vanilla, chocolate cookie dough and all ice

837
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 3: cream is one of the top preferences.

838
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Sounds so good, right, And when I do.

839
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 3: Put toppings on any if it was just vanilla ice cream,

840
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 3: I would do like some rainbow sprinkles or like chocolate chips.

841
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 3: Those would be toppings that I would if I just

842
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: regular vanilla ice cream.

843
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: Yes, if you get the whatever chocolate chip situation in

844
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: the ice cream. You can't put like rainbow sprinkles can

845
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: mix that.

846
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

847
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 3: So if I'm going to do toppings, I have to

848
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: do regular vanilla. But if I'm doing chocolate chip cookie

849
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 3: dough with an ice cream, I don't really put many

850
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: of the toppings on that.

851
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes I go like crazy vellin ice creams em

852
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: and ms yes, yeah, sprinkles, you know Reese's cups.

853
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

854
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's embarrassing. But sometimes I get like cotton

855
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: candy ice cream with like chocolate chips. It's just like

856
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm just hungry and I want to try all the things,

857
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: and I just put it all together and it's just crazy.

858
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: That sounds like a wild It's very like.

859
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: I feel like eventually, like my ice cream paste will

860
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: mature as I get older, you know, and whole palate changes. Yeah, exactly.

861
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 3: Younger, we didn't like vegetables. No Brussels sprouts and asparagus

862
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 3: is good for you and it's not.

863
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: I'll grow out of it. Then. Do you have a

864
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: favorite candy?

865
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: No, They're all from me, especially when I was when

866
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 3: I used to go to movies, so I was a

867
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: big move off and I'll go to movies. I would

868
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: get different candies, it depends on the move. Sometimes sweet

869
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: and sour, either like Skittles or Sour Patch Kids. Sometimes

870
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 3: just chocolate. You get some snow caps or Reese's cups.

871
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get candy in your popcorn.

872
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: No, we wouldn't do that.

873
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: What no to do that?

874
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: I would do sometimes the ice cream bars, like a

875
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 3: Snickers ice cream bar, like those things. It depends on

876
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: the move. But yes, ultimately they're they're all. It depends

877
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 3: on the move.

878
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's fair. I'm an all candy type of

879
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: girl too.

880
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: I just cut back a lot though since I've been

Speaker 2: an adult.

882
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: So now that you're in retirement, though, you have to

883
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: really go for it, just eat a lot of candy.

884
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 3: I've taken some time off of being like I wouldn't

885
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 3: say on a diet, but like, hey, but yeah, so

00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: definitely pay attention to the little details. I tried to,

919
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: but I don't know if you're gonna remember this stuff.

920
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited to say. Okay, during your career, in seasons

921
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: where you played at least twenty games, how many times

922
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: did you shoot above forty percent? From three?

923
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 3: I played in technically fifteen seasons, which is like fourteen,

924
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 3: and I think out of the fourteen, I think I.

925
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: Was below maybe three times.

926
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 3: So I would say eleven to be safe, being a

927
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 3: little cocky is a less than there is more than that.

928
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: It's a little less. It's a lot less.

929
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: Wait, so out of fourteen or I think of fifteen,

930
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,880

00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 3: Hm? Okay, So I'm thinking I guess the first couple

937
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 3: of years I didn't play much above twenty games.

938
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,040

950
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,200

Speaker 3: Was it one hundred and ten?

965
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,920

966
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: hundred twenty three, okay, which is amazing. Okay, Okay, So

967
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: you were in high school in two thousand and five.

968
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: You're the class of two thousand and five. Then I

969
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: was just like a thought in my parents, not even

970
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: probably I thought of my parents, but anyway, I just

971
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: wanted to remind you the old Yeah exactly, in the

972
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty, not twenty twenty five, two thousand

973
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: and five.

974
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 2: What were you ranked in high school? Yeah?

975
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 3: I actually just looked this up recently because I'd argue

976
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: with somebody. Somebody thought I was like top twenty five,

977
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: and I'm like, bro, I was not top twenty close.

978
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 3: I think I was top fifty, yes, but I think

979
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: I was in like the thirty.

980
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: Of forties, yes, thirties, getting closer.

981
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 3: Like thirty seven, thirty one okay, okay, yeah, pretty good.

982
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 3: Only is why I was close, because I say, I

983
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 3: looked it up and I was like he people had this,

984
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 3: you know, like people formed this image of people in brains, like, yo,

985
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: you were amazing and high. Yeah, the one was not

986
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: that good, Like I was good, but I was not

987
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: that good, and like you were top ten.

988
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, there was no way you needed.

989
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: To make it clear that it was like an underdogs.

990
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: I was a late balloon.

991
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 3: So I bumped up to thirty one, but like before

992
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 3: my senior year, I was probably below, like out of

993
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: the top.

994
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 2: Fifty for sure.

995
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, so let's see how good your memory really

996
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: is and how much you really focus on these small details. Okay, Danny,

997
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: you were drafted forty six. Who was drafted forty fifth?

998

Speaker 2: Oh, the team that drafted Timberwolves. Okay.

1004
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,759

1005
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: and the pick after you, so they pretty much passed

1006
