So yeah, Well. 64 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: We got a lot to get to. We got the 65 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 2: wind streak, we got the n season tournament. The way 66 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: you're playing is just fantastic. But let's start with the 67 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: win streak, Jayalen. I mean, this is the longest win 68 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: streak since the ten eleven season, right, so you got 69 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: to go back twelve years. You're two away from a 70 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: franchise record at the time of this taping. What's gotten 71 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: into you? Guys? This is fun to watch. 72 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: This is dope. This is my first time winning winning 73 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: in the NBA. Everything is, everything is better, practices are better, 74 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: do says better, hang on, that's right. Uh, but now 75 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 3: it's been dope. I mean just it's been a collective effort. 76 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's cold one night, you know, it's 77 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: me another, it's Frons one, it's he, it's Goga coming 78 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: in and impacting Joe off the bench. Jay. I just 79 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: you go down the list and everyone is coming and 80 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: made an impact, you know, towards us winning games. And 81 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 3: I think that's the best part of body. I think 82 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: that's what makes us special, is our ability to do 83 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: that it and to want that. You know what I'm saying, 84 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: it's not I gotta get my shots up tonight. You 85 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: know I have to. I have to hit my quota, 86 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: hit my mark. You know, it's we just want to win. 87 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: And again, like I said, I don't know from experience 88 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: but from here, and you know that's rare here. But 89 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: that's all I've known, you know, in growing up and 90 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: all the teams I've played for, you know, just anything 91 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: to do to get a win. So it's really refreshing 92 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: to have, you know, that same group and staff share 93 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 3: that and share that mentality here. It's leading to good things. 94 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: Well, George, you know, you know that that is very rare. 95 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: George, you know that. 96 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 4: I was just going to say, it is rare in 97 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: the nb DA. And you can have it for spurts sometimes, 98 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 4: like you know, you can have it for five games spurts, 99 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: six games spurts. But then after a while, usually somebody 100 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: starts seeing that I gotta get mine and I'm and 101 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 4: usually what ends up happening is is things go a 102 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 4: little set at point and things derail. But that doesn't 103 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: seem to me when you when you're looking at our 104 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: team and we're all privy to what we're doing here, 105 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 4: it just with the makeup of our guys, Jalen, it 106 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 4: doesn't seem like we would have the roster to do 107 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: that everybody it seems to be grasping on to what 108 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 4: their role is. And that's to me, that's three quarters 109 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: of the battle in the NBA. Is everybody embracing them rule. 110 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree with you. I mean that's 111 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: a positive of having great people in the building. You 112 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. You know, I'd be There's a 113 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 3: ton of talent, a lot of skill, you know that 114 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 3: we possessed, you know, in the locker room. And you 115 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 3: know a lot of people do a lot of different 116 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 3: things and do many things, you know what I'm saying, 117 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: but you know, to to break it down and simplify, 118 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 3: you know, and this is what we need to do. 119 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 3: And we we had conversations about it through camp and 120 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: before the season started. You know, this is you know, 121 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: with the staffs. You're telling us to see what we're 122 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: looking for for each person to do. This is what 123 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: we feel like you can bring to the table. You know, 124 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: the floor was open. You know, it was ours to 125 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 3: add anything if we wanted to. And uh, you know, 126 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: for the most part, everyone was solid on it, you know, 127 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: and I feel like everyone's bought into everything that you know, 128 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: the staff has asked of us. Now, us players have 129 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: asked of each other. And again, like I said, it's 130 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: leading a good thing. I mean, and they were having 131 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 3: fun while doing it. That's the best part. You know, 132 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 3: that's where the selfishness comes in. You know, it doesn't matter. 133 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: You know, I'll come out of We had no business 134 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: those first three quarters, don't matter how many shots, and 135 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: I'm getting up you know, volumes were getting to win. 136 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 3: Then I get to see my guys playing like that. 137 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: That's a perfect night for me. 138 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: Now. 139 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: I was telling Bows that this morning. I keep handling 140 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: this business through the first three quarters. I don't want 141 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: to get have to get beat up in the court. 142 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: We could just let the rest of the boys play. 143 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: I see that. I enjoy it. You're fine with that 144 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: like a fat you know, of course, side you. 145 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 5: Get your work done in twenty one minutes and you 146 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 5: get to sit out the fourth quarter. Right, gold done, 147 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 5: Yeah done, Yoe officiate jed to that end what you 148 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 5: were talking about, you know, agenda's the lack thereof how 149 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 5: important was last season to what's happening this season? Not 150 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 5: just the five and twenty start and the pain and 151 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 5: struggle through that, but confidence. Why seeing what you guys 152 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 5: are capable of over the last fifty games or so. 153 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 3: I think, I think it was really important to play 154 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: a great role. You know, I got to experience a 155 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: bit of both sides for me, you know, playing early 156 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: and struggling man and and you know, tough loss after loss, 157 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: and you know, trying to find the rhythm in a way, 158 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: you know, something to break the spell. Compared to when 159 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 3: when I was out, We got to watch the boys 160 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: play and go on runs and you know, just see 161 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 3: it from a different perspective, you know, the things that 162 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: they were doing, and then come back to end the 163 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: season and and get a feel, kind of get a rhythm, 164 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: get a flow, you know, before that year ended with 165 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: with kind of our full healthy for the first time, 166 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: our full health, healthy squad. That was really important for us, 167 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: and I think really it just it helped us. It 168 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: really helped us harp on that belief, you know, and 169 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: Bugie said it at the beginning of the year. We 170 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: have to believe, you know, we are that team and 171 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: we are those individuals and the collectively, you know, we 172 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: we can get it done every night. You know, I 173 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 3: think that's half the battle. And we have that now, 174 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: and it's a confidence, it's a swagger but it's a 175 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: humbleness because we've seen that other side. You know what 176 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: I'm doing, right, That's what makes this year so enjoyable, man, 177 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 3: is we've kept the same unit, the same group together. 178 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: You know. Not many pieces have come in and out. Uh, 179 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: you know we we've continued to stay at it together 180 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: and and good things lead to lead to great things. 181 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: And you know that. 182 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: That's what Did Franz say that while he was holding 183 00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: his gold medal? 184 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: Did he say that? Well? No, but we've had those 185 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: jobs in there all with they like where there's certain 186 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: to the building or throw it dope in here and there. 187 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: Oh man, it's hilarious. I've read of this. 188 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: That's great. All right, So I got a question. It's 189 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: a two part question for you, all right. First, Jalen 190 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: on your play. This is a career high points per game, rebounds, 191 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: field goal percentage, three point percentage, steals per game, which 192 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: is fourth in the NBA, by the way, loose balls recovered, 193 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: which is what third in the NBA? Right, yeah, loose 194 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 2: balls recurver? I do I track everyone you have. You've 195 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: recovered twenty one loose balls, which is tied for third 196 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: in the NBA. Right, So, you're everywhere, You're all over 197 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: the place. You were up there except for the one 198 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: game that was missed. In deflections, you were top five 199 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: in deflections in the entire NBA and your fifth and 200 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: defensive field goal percentage. So first part of it is 201 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: of all of those numbers, what impresses you the most? Okay, 202 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: what are you most proud of that you've. 203 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: I think any any of those defense in stats. You know, 204 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 3: that was that was that that is always meant a 205 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: lot to me. But I really you know, over the 206 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: course of last year and you know, just kind of 207 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: feeling myself, you know, get healthy and get back to 208 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 3: you know, get back to me the all defense, and 209 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 3: you know, that was something that was a goal that 210 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: I set for myself, you know. And it's not something 211 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: that you know, requires me to have the ball, requires 212 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 3: me to take, you know, a certain amount of shots. 213 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: It's you know, defensive end. You know, I can always 214 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: have a presence there and no matter how the offense 215 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: is going on a certain night, you know, that's something 216 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: that I'm able to bring. So that was a very big, 217 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 3: very big one for me. And you know something that 218 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: you know, I worked a lot of my conditioning on 219 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 3: in the off season and my strength in the off 220 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: season to put myself in the bestness as possible to 221 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: do everything I won't want to do on the defensive end. 222 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: So to see that come to fruition, you know, as 223 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: the offense continues to progress slowly, you know it is 224 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: he's a great thing something. 225 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's certainly coming. The second part of that jail 226 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: and is you are quickly becoming, if you're not already 227 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: the fan favorite, right there is. I think as great 228 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: as the stats are, right, guys, there is a connection 229 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 2: with you and the fans. 230 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: Right. 231 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: First of all, your teammates feed off of you, and 232 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: you have a way of getting your teammates going when 233 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: they need it. But there are you can point to 234 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 2: one point during the game multiple times where you are 235 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: embracing the crowd reaction and you're revving them up. Right, 236 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: I think that tells almost as much of the story 237 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: as these statistics. 238 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I think it's some noow, I've always just 239 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: enjoyed doing. You know, you kind of go back in 240 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: you know, when I was in high school, middle school, 241 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: what everyone, I always just kind of love talking to 242 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 3: the crowd away games.

And he encourage 251 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 3: me to now be able to celebrate all the growth 252 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 3: with the city, with the fasts, because they deserve it.

Or my 437 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 6: favorite is. 438 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 5: The QB pass, Yes, the seventy five eighty footer. There 439 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 5: was one last year to Franz where he it was 440 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 5: the deep out right. He was going right, caught on 441 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 5: the sideline turn. I think it was against Utah and 442 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 5: he ended up in their betch. Which one's the most fun? 443 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 3: And uh? 444 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 5: And I know we've asked you a lot about you 445 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 5: your football player and days and how it kind of 446 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 5: manifests itself, but it is we we see an example 447 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 5: every night. 448 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 3: Jale. That is a hard question. I'm gonna be honest, 449 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: because he's pretty like a separate level of enjoyment. But 450 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: I think I think my favorite one is being a 451 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 3: safety and just and reading passes and like the Atlanta 452 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: game was super fun, man. And especially when it gets 453 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 3: Trey Young, you know, he's dribbling up the sideline, you know, 454 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: I see him look up at the jante, you know, 455 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 3: so I kind of take a deep breath and I'm 456 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 3: kind of dropping. But my eyes there were up the 457 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: whole time. As soon as he went into his motion, man, 458 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 3: like just popping off the back foot, trusted instincts, you know, 459 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: and going going to jump a in and and try 460 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 3: to get another possession for us. I think that that 461 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 3: one that brings me to mobles joy because I love 462 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 3: playing safety. I love playing defense, uh you know when 463 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 3: I was playing football. So I think that down one 464 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 3: the most. But just the overall bringing the dog mentality 465 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 3: of being like a defensive or a football player, you know, 466 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: like that mindset into into the basketball game. It's something 467 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 3: and that I've kind of been searching for, you know, 468 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 3: how to how can I continue to bring what I 469 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 3: learned in football, but become the best basketball player that 470 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: that I can be, you know, and that's playing under 471 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 3: control at a good pace, you know, and continue to 472 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: do those things and pick my spots. But the mentality 473 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 3: is something that never changes, you know. And I think 474 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 3: that's one of the biggest difference differences, you know, in 475 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: the past two years to this year, is you know, 476 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 3: I've kind of found that just being a dog on 477 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 3: the court, doing the little things, bumping relentlessly, you know, 478 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 3: until we get the win, you know, not taking possessions 479 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: or plays off. You know, it's something that I can 480 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: carry over. You know. I have great examples from my cousin. 481 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 3: It's a Nate new new autumn boys up in Pittsburgh 482 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 3: ball right now. You know, all my boys playing in college, 483 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: you know, parrying over that mentality onto the court and 484 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 3: it it's dope to see them all kind of see 485 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 3: it and you know, kind of relate to me. So 486 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: but jumping past the leans, I love. That's awesome, you know. 487 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: I think about that. We all tell the story and 488 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: I get a kick out of it. There was a 489 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: I think it wasn't if it was the first day 490 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: of training camp, but the first day or two. You 491 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 2: jumped up and made a block.

So just I think a culmination of 529 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: everything of bringing in that side, bringing in my spiritual piece, 530 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 3: you know, I think who kind of I've always been 531 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 3: and then just that dog just finally being just coming 532 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 3: out of me, being comfortable, you know, expressing that and 533 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: you know, kind of just hoping the city and the 534 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 3: boys embraced me, which is exactly what they've done. And 535 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: so yeah, it just brings me a lot of joy, 536 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: you know, knowing that I'm out here for and being myself, 537 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 3: being me, and everyone's embracing it. 538 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: And you know, Jake, you're a Cleveland Browns fan. And 539 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 2: with the dog pound, I mean, are we seeing something? 540 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 2: Are we missing a marketing opportunity here? Should we have? 541 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 2: I mean, should yeah? Should we be embracing this dog mentality? 542 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 2: And when when Jalen makes some of these. 543 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 6: Plays potentially, but based on the last twenty years of 544 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 6: Cleveland Browns football, I'd like I say him a little 545 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 6: bit higher to be hot this. 546 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: Well, that's true, that's true. 547 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: You are wire. That's a good point, Jalen. 548 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 4: Now, Okay, now that the team has seen some early success, 549 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 4: how does that earth? How do we how do we 550 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 4: move that into the next twenty games? Yeah, and then 551 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 4: in the next twenty games. Because it's very easy to 552 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 4: have short spurts of success. It's very difficult in the 553 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 4: NBA to extend it all the way to eighty two games. 554 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 4: What is what is Coach Moseley in the staff and 555 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 4: you guys all together been saying to just keep this 556 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 4: train moving forward, to. 557 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 3: Stick to the standard I think is the biggest thing, 558 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 3: and keep the main thing, the main thing, uh, you know, 559 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 3: expectations and all of that external things. You know, those 560 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: have the power to you know, to throw us all 561 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 3: off track and off too. But I think that's all 562 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: we've been doing, you know, the start of this season. 563 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 3: It is sticking to our standards, you know, personally and 564 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 3: team wise, and it's dope we get new challenges like 565 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 3: deal with it. We came from being that team always 566 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: played from behind young you know a lot of hunger, uh, 567 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: you know, to a team now who you know, we're 568 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 3: playing with leads and we're up on teams, you know, 569 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 3: and it's dope. We get to figure out in the moment, 570 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 3: you know, how to you know, how to do those things. 571 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 3: How to slow it down still get great shots. You 572 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, how to how to play with 573 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: the lead making sure we're getting great shots, but don't 574 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: get too h you know, too slow, to complacent, you 575 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, to where we start tricking off 576 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 3: the leads. And I think that's what we're doing earlier. 577 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 3: But it's cool that we get to do it in 578 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 3: a moment now. And I feel we're just adapting to 579 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 3: every environment. Be put it. You know, we we we 580 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: played from behind before, we're now learning how to play 581 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: with leads and uh the words. The point where I 582 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: don't feel uncomfortable in any situation. You know, the Boston game, 583 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 3: we're down. I even realized we're down flow. They came 584 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 3: out like that on a happen. Didn't realize we're down 585 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 3: like that. But knowing that moment to stay calm and 586 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 3: we're doing the right things. Shots are following and making 587 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: tough ones, continue to stay at you know, chop wood 588 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: carry water, and the results are shown for themselves and 589 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 3: we're coming back in teams and we're holding leads now 590 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: and the offensive sidey is coming along with the defense. 591 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 3: So just to see everything come together and us grow 592 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 3: as a unit, I think he's dope, and that's what 593 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: we have to continue to stand out. 594 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 5: Jalen, you mentioned the daft ability, and I was thinking 595 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 5: about Anthony Black and his rookie experience, which is pretty 596 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 5: different from yours. Like you kind of knew when you 597 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 5: came out that you're going to have an opportunity.
