It was my first not my first, 237 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: but like one of my first investments. 238 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: And you know it's big investments. 239 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: You know how huge that is. Just think about nil 240 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: deals weren't even happening right before that, and which by 241 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: the way, everybody had a problem with. But the fact 242 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: that now it's like you can you can finish college. 243 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: You don't have to rush, it's beautiful, and to go 244 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: into the w NBA. You can also take care of 245 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: your family and you can also profit off of you 246 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: know what everybody else is profiting off of, with your 247 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: name and your likeness. 248 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's important. 249 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 3: I feel like every time something new happeness, it's always 250 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: like a negative thing on it until it becomes the 251 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 3: new norm. But I think NIO is important for college 252 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: students only because like, if you know a college student 253 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: or you know an athlete, you know how hard we 254 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: were and you know how much money these institutions are making, 255 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 3: So like why not give them, you know, the opportunity 256 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 3: to make money off their brand. And I think NIL 257 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 3: is kind of not like a handout. It's kind of like, 258 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: you know, you work hard, you build your brand, and 259 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 3: you get paid for what you you know what I'm saying, what. 260 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: You work for. So that's why I think NIL is 261 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: super important. 262 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: And I want to help you know, guid young kids 263 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: and to make decisions like me.

I love the artwork on 267 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: the covert because you take the microphone on wesside. Yes 268 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: you see the basketball on a the side. And I 269 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: know at times people feel like there's so much dedication 270 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: to each one of those things that they'll try to 271 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: make you feel like you gotta choose. But I know 272 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: when you went to go to LSU, they took you 273 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: to the studio.

But y'all gott to 336 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 3: kick you with Page Beckers and we had a good time, 337 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 3: and yeah, it just made a lot of new friends. 338 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: You know, when you weigh in on things like what 339 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: did you think about with the Olympics. You know, people 340 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: it was so much controversy over Kitlyn Clark and injuries 341 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: not playing in the Olympics. What were your personal thoughts 342 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: about that. 343 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt like, I know, like the behind like 344 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: all the camps and stuff that the people got to 345 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: go to the trials and all the stuff, and they've 346 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: been doing that for a long time, so it's kind 347 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: of like they already kind of had the team basically 348 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 3: together and practicing and you know how that go. But 349 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 3: I think like they could play on that team right now, 350 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: like you know what I'm saying, with the talent that 351 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: they got. They obviously wanted two of the top players 352 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: in the. 353 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 2: League, you know what I'm saying. So I think they 354 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: definitely could have played. 355 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: But we're still gonna get that goal, Like you know 356 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, We still dominating, So it's all good. 357 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: And now thinking about how you came out playing right 358 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: you played with the guys pirs with the boys and 359 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: an AAU and everything. How do you think that has 360 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: affected your styling? Who did you watch when you were 361 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: like let me fashion my game after this person. 362 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of just gave me that dog mentality 363 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: because when you play with the guys, you already like. 364 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: Cause men are dumb. 365 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nodding, because you know, you just gotta have 366 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 3: that mentality like you an underdog already, like you know 367 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. 368 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: And I grew up who I played with. 369 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: All my friends like mante Ken, all of them at 370 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: the Boys and. 371 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: Girls Club, my coach Marieze. They never gave me no 372 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: girl past. So like every hit that was got, I 373 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: got it everything. 374 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: It was everything, like I always got that treatment like 375 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: you gonna come out here with us, youre gona play 376 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 3: with us.
