It was DJ Poutle 112 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: Training and Development, and he had his own brand. And 113 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: then he's just the mastermind behind all. He gave us 114 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: the name twin backcourt, you know, because no one could 115 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 2: guard us in. 116 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: The right all over the court. 117 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: So you know, it was really his idea of it, 118 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: and then you know we just built from there.

Thank you. 124 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Twin backcourt obviously unguardable, picking up defense, everything in between. 125 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: Have you guys ever pulled any twin switch pranks? I 126 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: know whenever I have to guard twins, it's very confusing. 127 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: You're like cool guarding.

But everyone's able to 134 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 2: tell us on the court. But off the court, the 135 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: best thing was probably it wasn't greed, No, it wasn't second. 136 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: It was full and it was her homeome teacher.

You know we have the 178 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: floor in general, we got the scoring forward. Sounds like 179 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: the two you would be a two on two unbeatable. 180 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like. 181 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: To tell these college please please, They know they know, 182 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: but it's just sometimes hard to have that confidence with 183 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: having two small guards like. 184 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: We grab rebuilds. We don't act like we five whatever, 185 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: we have like we six foot but like. 186 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: These but these coaches be like, oh, it's the college level. 187 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: It's different. We understand that. But we's got you, coach, 188 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: like we mature. 189 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 3: We got it. 190 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: Like I've been convinced. I never had any doubts. But 191 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: for anybody, so who wins the one on one battle? 192 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: What are those battles? Like, I know there's something crazy. 193 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: It's rough, it's rough, it's really competitive, and we both 194 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 2: could guard each other, that's all. Like anybody in the 195 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 2: world cannot guard its stuff for each other. Yeah, and 196 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: you tell everyone this because she knows my moves. I 197 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: know her moves, and you know that's how we get 198 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: better because you know, you do counter moves and one 199 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 2: of different ways try to learn your style of basketball 200 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: and you build it from that. So having a twin 201 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: helped me do that. It depends on what day is 202 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: good for each other. Like sometimes she'll win, sometimes I'll 203 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: be winning. Like it depends, like the day we literally 204 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: just didn't one on one and we posted it on 205 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: our Instagram too, and she won. 206 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: It was two and one, but that was before my 207 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: surgery and all, yeahs, so we can run it back. 208 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 3: You feel mean, we're gonna runn back soon. 209 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: I got You're back. But that's such an advantage you 210 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: have that your best competition is literally at home with you. 211 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: Anytime you can ge out there and push each other 212 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: and whatnot. I think that's so special and honestly, like 213 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: y'all competing, and it seems like y'all are also like 214 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: so supportive one another. I feel like sometimes there's that 215 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: sibling battle and it's just not healthy. But I think 216 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: to have that healthy relationship sometimes maybe a little toxic. 217 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: I mean we do argue with mere sisters. We have 218 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: the same room, we be with each other twenty four seven, 219 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: so you know, we argue that's gonna happen, but you 220 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: still love each other at the end of the day, 221 00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: love each other. 222 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, a you has always been that main option for 223 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: girls basketball in the summertime. So what led you and 224 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: your family to start your own AAU team? 225 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: That was a good question, great question. Well, when we 226 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: got our NL deal, we gained resources that we didn't 227 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 2: have before, and so we thought, like, why can't we 228 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: just take advantage of that and start something new for 229 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: girls in our area and urban communities and build on 230 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: that and help them get opportunities or have opportunities that 231 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: most players don't have. Because we know a lot of 232 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: talented girls from these communities that don't have the opportunities 233 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: that we have, and we wanted to give it to them. 234 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: So that's just the main thing. Also, would be dope, 235 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: like start having our own programs so they start our 236 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: own vibe. You know, definitely a girl she. 237 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Said over time. Select Girls Basketball League was announced this week, 238 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: which will start next summer. What were your thoughts and 239 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: what drew you to it? 240 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: Exactly the same thing with my said, you know, create 241 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: our own vibe, our own wave things, and you know, 242 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: just bring our energy where it's needed, which is you 243 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: know everywhere. You know, we feel like we should spread 244 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: our energy everywhere. You know, that's that's the only way 245 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: we can really help the girl's game of basketball and 246 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: you know girls women's sports in general. So I feel 247 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: like this is a great opportunity to do that. 248 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: Oh for sure. I mean I think it's going to bring. 249 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: Visibility has already increased so much just with the social 250 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: media presence that women's basketball has and seeing the two 251 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: of you everywhere, and so for you to be joining 252 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: this league, I think it's just going to make it 253 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: even bigger and better. But do you think that the 254 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: competition here is really going to help you get better? 255 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: We talked about YouTube being the best competition for yourselves, 256 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: but what else do you think you're going to gain 257 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: from this league beyond visibility? Maybe skill, competition, all the above. 258 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 2: The action is really going to show that we can 259 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: dominate and we're the best because we say we dominate 260 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 2: and we show it, but like when we're with the 261 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: best all in the same league, it will really show. 262 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: And I also love that we have other competitors that 263 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: you know, are up there with the US, and we 264 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: can always compete and push each other to be better. 265 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 2: So like, yeah, I definitely agree, you know, competing in 266 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: the same event as other high level players as US, 267 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: I feel like that shows us that we're not just 268 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: all talked.

It is 340 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: so annoying to have y'all picking me up like up, 341 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: I just be like everyding different body sec you have 342 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: your own different type advantage to use. And you're completely right. 343 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: And so you guys are in the age of nil, 344 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: which is amazing. And so when it first came out, 345 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: it was different. You guess we're coming out of middle school. 346 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: So how did you guys have those beginning conversations about 347 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: what that could mean for you and brand building and 348 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: all those different things at such a young age. 349 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: Well, we really didn't understand it. We were just like, oh, 350 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 3: that's cool. 351 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: Like we get free closed, like if we close, like 352 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: got the sneakers, But we didn't understand like the concept 353 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: of it and how important it was and just like 354 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: all the little stuff, Like we didn't even think we 355 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: were gonna get as many boxes as we do, Like 356 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: we get boxes almost every day every week, and it's 357 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: actually like stacking up in our living room. 358 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 3: We don't have a living room wom anymore. Yeah, we 359 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: don't even have a living room. 360 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: Like if you see in our if you see in 361 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: our episode, it's a mess. 362 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: But we just thought it was like, oh, that's. 363 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: Cool, Like we have a Puma dude, Like yeah, and 364 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: I would say it being from Puma. We were just 365 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: like at first. But then like we did some more 366 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: research on Puma and you know, deep into the grassroots 367 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: of it, and once we started getting more of the 368 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: clothes and shoes, you just like, yo, this is dope, 369 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: Like this is real official stuff. They have collapsed with 370 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 2: designer stuff and ball maine and stuff, and we're just 371 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 2: looking like yo, that opened our eyes to so many things. 372 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: You know, don't judge anything if you never. 373 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: Really like wore it before. 374 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: Because when we were younger, we grew up in the 375 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: age like we grew up where kids was wearing Pumas, 376 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: we'd be like, what are those? 377 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: Now It's like, yo, that's dope. 378 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: I see so many people wearing Puma now it's like 379 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 2: I feel like it's because of us. But you know, 380 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: just seeing that, it's just at the same time, we 381 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 2: just didn't probably look at it or realize it. Like 382 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: we realized how Pulmo's actually like really big on soccer. 383 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 3: I didn't. We didn't know that. 384 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: So like just seeing other people wear it, if I'm 385 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: popping up and they see me out, think they're gonna go. 386 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: So I'm like, ah, it's not because us, they were. 387 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: They gotta be from soccer or something else. It was 388 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: an opener for us. 389 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean nil is it's very broad 390 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: and so it's figure out where you fit in. And 391 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: for you guys to sign a deal with Puma at 392 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: such a young age, it's literally insane. And like you said, 393 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: like off bat, you're like Puma what, like that's crazy. 394 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: But once you dive in, and I think that's something 395 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: to be said about a lot of Nile deals. There 396 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: could be a company you never heard of and then 397 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 1: they reach out to you and you try their product 398 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, like this is nice. You can 399 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: be a part of that rebranding and helping grow their 400 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: brand and at the same time yourselves, which I think 401 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: is something to be said. But what has it really 402 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: meant for you guys to align yourself with such a 403 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: global brand at such a young age, Like, have you 404 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: found like things that you want to stay through the 405 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: brand doing? Excited for collaborations in the future, whatever it 406 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: may be. 407 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: I'll say, I'm looking forward to, like, you know, making 408 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: our own shoe, you know, and that's something I'm really 409 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: looking forward to. And then once we heard Brianna Stewart 410 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: saw with Puma, Jackie Young, som Mellows with Pumage, Scholar Diggings, 411 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: they got so many people exactly. So when we heard 412 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: like all these people started signing, We're like, that could really. 413 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 3: Be our older brother, but through the brand, you know. 414 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: So I'm like, I'm like, yo, we could really be 415 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 2: connecting with them, getting the gym with them, and just 416 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: open up so many things for us. And you know, 417 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: we were just excited for facts. 418 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's quite a roster. And it's like the 419 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: brands like you don't really realize how tight knit brands 420 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: like that are like you can really reach out and 421 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: this and that and it's dope and so moving through 422 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: the NIL world and everything like that. What's some of 423 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: the best advice that you've gotten talking about juggling NIL, 424 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: social media, basketball school, but also your social life, because 425 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: you gotta have you gotta have everything. 426 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: That's hard. 427 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 2: We just make time for everything. Well, yeah, no, the 428 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: best advice was to make time because we weren't as 429 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 2: consistent we're posting, but we always had our dad on 430 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: our back and just are on our side in our ears, 431 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: always telling us you have to post. 432 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: You have to be consistent. 433 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: That's how you build your brand. That's how you, you know, 434 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: have other companies want to sign you and stuff like that. 435 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 2: And so we realize, like, you're definitely right about that, 436 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 2: because you know, when you're young, you always like, man, 437 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: post a lot is too much, like I'm trying to 438 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 2: be cool, you know, but like it was just like 439 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 2: we posted too much like old people went to the 440 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: social media first, but then we learned like the more 441 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 2: you post, the more more people gonna see your face. 442 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: So that's one thing. 443 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: And I think that comes with like also understanding what 444 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: works best for you, you know, because you never want 445 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: to burn out and do too much. So it's out 446 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: when to say no, when to say yes, that you're 447 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: in the power. I think that was the biggest adjustment 448 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: for me was understanding like these people are now like 449 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: they're your partners now, right, so you can say no, 450 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: they're coming to you asking to work with you. You 451 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: have all the power in the situation, which I think 452 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,239 Speaker 1: is it's an adjustment to make, especially you guys are 453 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: so young and you're about to be like, no, grown 454 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: people look to work for me, like this is what 455 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: I have. So I think you know this adjustment that 456 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: everybody has to make. But it sounds like you guys 457 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: have the right support system with your family, the people 458 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: in your ears.
