All right. 29 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 5: Well, also, you've been pretty political or politically active, and 30 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 5: I was just wondering if you might have a future 31 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 5: campaign on your own. I actually pulled teammates out to see, like, 32 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 5: what question they'd want me to ask you concerning your 33 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 5: future campaign. And there's really just one thing that came 34 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 5: around resoundingly, like every single person on the team was 35 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 5: primarily concerned with this. So if you could, you know, 36 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 5: answer from your not your delegates, so constituents. 37 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: They appreciate that. 38 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 5: So the one question I got from the team was unanimous, 39 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 5: what would you do to decrease tax rates for high 40 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 5: income earners? 41 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 3: Inflation is a big problem. 42 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 6: So they're you don't have any plans. I don't have 43 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 6: an answer. 44 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 5: You don't have any plans for that. 45 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 6: I didn't say I was over running. You might want 46 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 6: to prepare thyself. People say I should run. I've never 47 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 6: said that, so. 48 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 5: Okay, well, you know I'm not obligated to answer that. 49 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 5: So I think you should be a little more glass 50 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 5: half full on that one. I think you can do it. 51 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 6: Okay, I appreciate it. 52 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 5: There we go, Malcolm Brogden running for president twenty How 53 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 5: do you have to be thirty five? Thirty five? So 54 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 5: you could have done it like forty years ago? 55 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 6: Is that right? There you go. 56 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 5: The joke there is that he's old because he spent 57 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 5: all this time in college. All right, all right, so 58 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 5: now it's time to this is what we all came 59 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 5: here for. And uh, you know, so it's been well 60 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 5: documented for Malcolm throughout this year. He's a top candidate 61 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 5: for a very prescidious NBA Regular Season Award. I mean 62 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 5: it's there's no surpike. People have been talking about it 63 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 5: all year, and I bet you're wondering. I was like, 64 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 5: why we're so adamant about having you on and like 65 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 5: and I didn't really want to do it, but it 66 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 5: was like, no, we need to get him here, We 67 00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 5: need to get him here. 68 00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 6: We get here. 69 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 5: Well, I really can't believe that, like the powers that 70 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 5: be allowed like this to be the time and place 71 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 5: for it, but it's how they decided to go. So 72 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 5: it is without much further ado, that I would like 73 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 5: to award you, Malcolm Brogden with the two, twenty twenty 74 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 5: three Boston Celtics Training Room Trivia third Place Award.

Thanks Malcolm, the pleasure to have you on. 130 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 5: Love you, Sam Hauser.

He led the NBA 134 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 5: in defensive rating and also at a point near the 135 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 5: very end of the season he was leading the league 136 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: and percentage of defensive possessions that he was isolated against, 137 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 5: meaning teams keep trying to get him in the action. 138 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 5: Although you lead the NBA in defensive rating, and so 139 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 5: I'm just wondering, is there any possible reason why you 140 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 5: think teams would continue to do this despite the evidence 141 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 5: that states otherwise. Yeah, you know, I think it might 142 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 5: just be my experience in the league, you know, experiencing 143 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 5: the league that you're kind of younger. Yeah, I think 144 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 5: that might be it. Yeah, that's what you think. It is, 145 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 5: no idea you're talking about there, Yep.

It was when he told 349 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 2: the story of his first interaction in a preseason NBA 350 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: game with Kevin Garnett. 351 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: It was intense. 352 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: He remembered it very vividly, and this is him telling 353 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: that story and really what he learned from that moment 354 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 2: facing off against Kevin Garnett. 355 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: You come in. 356 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 13: Dillo as a rookie and oh wait, the Celtics just 357 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 13: won the championship. Now, this is what I want to 358 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 13: get to about, sort of a changing mindset about younger players. 359 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 13: I've been working with Cedric Maxwell, We've been doing the 360 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 13: games together forever and ever talking about being older. 361 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 3: Than you think you are. 362 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 13: In the preseason, you played against the Celtics as this 363 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 13: is going to be one of your first games ever, 364 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 13: and we both commented, as it's happening. Here's a twenty 365 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 13: year old kid. And there was a sense all the 366 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 13: players we've already talked about at high skill level and 367 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 13: your skill level, we knew what it was, but there 368 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 13: was almost an attitude of not getting pushed around. And 369 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 13: that team, Kevin Garnett, those guys, they love to talk 370 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 13: and they love to push kids around. 371 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: Is what they did. 372 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 13: What I remember more than anything, and Max and I 373 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 13: still talk about it to this day, whenever your name 374 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 13: comes up. Was you walked in there as a twenty 375 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 13: year old kid and you push right back? Do you 376 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 13: remember playing against this that Celtics team and some of 377 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 13: the veterans that like to intimidate when flish? 378 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 3: I remember a couple of moments with KG. 379 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 9: Uh. 380 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: But can we can we talk about the. 381 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 9: Language or I remember one wise rated we played, We 382 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 9: learned some new words. 383 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: We played, we played. 384 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 9: I remember we played at home in New York against 385 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 9: the Celtics and we are walking. 386 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: They called a foul or something. We walk him back. 387 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 9: We are half court and KG and KG to an 388 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 9: elbow me and I just threw an elbow back and I. 389 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: Told him, you're doing it to the wrong guy. 390 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 9: And from that moment, I'm honest, I had a you know, 391 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 9: always played against each other. 392 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: He's a great player. 393 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 9: I always liked him, uh, And from that moment, honestly, 394 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 9: with KG, even if we played against each other, it 395 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 9: was always great between me and him. 396 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: It was like you earned the respect. 397 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 6: You know. 398 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 9: I think maybe we can ask him now, but I 399 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 9: think that I earned his respect and and every time 400 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 9: we played against each other, even if you know, for 401 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 9: after he went back and went away from the Celtiast 402 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 9: Minnesota and stuff. It was always great to play against him, 403 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 9: and I honestly could feel that he respected me, and 404 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 9: it was of course mutual respect. Of course he's one 405 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 9: of the best. So but that's something that I always 406 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 9: add in my nature. 407 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: I it was. 408 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 9: It was since I was a little kid, and so 409 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 9: because I always I was always playing against people that 410 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 9: were older than me. When I signed my first contract 411 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 9: a sixteen, I was playing with thirty five years old. 412 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 6: Ye. 413 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 9: Easy, and so they wanted, you know, they were like 414 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 9: this sixty year old kid coming to play with us 415 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 9: and playing more than me. 416 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 3: No, it's not gonna happen. 417 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 9: So he gets pushed back, you get hit big time, 418 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 9: badly on and off the core. But you know, it 419 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 9: was it was a great challenge for me, and I 420 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 9: honestly liked it. Sometimes you have to learn how to 421 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 9: like it. Sometimes you like it because it's in your nature, 422 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 9: and so I thought it was you know, just going 423 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 9: the NBA is no difference. So and you know, thinking 424 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 9: about eight, what made my head even harder was the injury. Yeah, 425 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 9: because you get drafted by the Knicks number six, you get. 426 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 3: Booed like crazy, yep. You have to. 427 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 9: You have to establish yourself in the league. And you 428 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 9: are drafted by the Knicks and you get injured right away. 429 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 9: You only played twenty eight games. The first season is tough. 430 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 9: Then you got to come back the second season and 431 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 9: now prove yourself. And you know I I had a 432 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 9: very good second season, and you know I was able 433 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 9: to turn those boos into applauses. But my path was 434 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 9: even harder because of the early injury that I had 435 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 9: and surgery that I had my first my rookie season. 436 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: Now, we thought you all might be interested in what 437 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: it's like to be an NBA scout. It's a crazy life, 438 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: and we were right. This is one of our most 439 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: popular episodes of the season. We brought on Austin Ange 440 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 2: and Ashley Battle. They talked about all of their experiences 441 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 2: on the road, and Austin opened up the episode by 442 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 2: telling a wild story from one of his experiences out 443 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 2: in Europe. You need to hear it, and here it 444 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: is right now, Austin, I know you've been doing this forever, 445 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: a million miles logged on flights, probably stayed in thousands 446 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: of hotel rooms at this point. Let's just jump right 447 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: in what's the craziest story that you can tell us 448 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 2: from your travel adventures over the years. 449 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: I've got a number. 450 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 8: Europe is usually where the real real fun happens. Mario Hiszonia. 451 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 8: I was scouting him when he was playing for Barcelona, 452 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 8: and I went to watch a game in Athens, grease 453 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 8: of his and Barcelona was up early and someone called 454 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 8: in a bomb threat, and I didn't know what was 455 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 8: going on there, speaking Greek over the loud speakers and everything. 456 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 8: It's all Greek to you. I grabbed an agent, It's like, hey, 457 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 8: what is going on? He goes, Oh, don't worry, don't worry. 458 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 8: This happens if the gamblers are down and they're worried, 459 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 8: stop the momentum. And so they evacuated us over. They 460 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 8: pull us all out for forty minutes, let the bomb 461 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 8: sniffing dogs do a loop, and then they bring us 462 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 8: all back in. But they don't know, they don't check 463 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 8: tickets on the way back in, so it's just like 464 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 8: a mass hysteria running around. 465 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 3: And but if you know, that's that's the fun. 466 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 8: Did them momentum? 467 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 10: Yeah? 468 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 8: Actually yeah, path and Icos made a little bit. 469 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: Ye did they Did they find up flipping and the 470 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: other team one. You know, I don't even at least covered. 471 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 13: I don't even did you did you make a note 472 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 13: of how Mario responded to the adversity of a bomb 473 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 13: threat he called it. 474 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 8: It was really just kind of boring, but it was 475 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 8: scary for a minute. And tell everyone, you know, I 476 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 8: looking around, everyone just thought it was routine. 477 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: This is just what we do nowhere everyday thing. So 478 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: for the people who don't know, I mean, yeah, before 479 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: I met you guys, before I worked in this industry, 480 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: I probably would have envisioned this scout is on the road, 481 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: sitting in you know, down by the court, having their 482 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: own section. 483 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 2: Nice let A lot of times you're just in the crowd, right, 484 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: So in that scenario, is that what the experience was? 485 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: Were you just sitting in a normal seat? 486 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 8: You know, I actually can talk about this too, But 487 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 8: it's totally random.

So long story short, 536 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 14: I went to change my flight. They changed it for 537 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 14: the wrong day. So it's the day of the flight 538 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 14: that I think I'm leaving on, and I'm like figuring out, 539 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 14: like a can you change my flight back to like 540 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 14: change it to this day.

It was something special. 554 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 15: Like forty minutes tonight, shot clock at eight Tatum against EMBD, 555 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 15: Tatum gotta beat off his feet, great finish at the rim, 556 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 15: two point game. 557 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 12: Again, how about that play from the rookie. 558 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: This was the moment where my eyes bulged and I said, okay, 559 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 2: all right, the Celtics don't just have a really good rookie. 560 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 2: They have a player who could potentially be an all 561 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: time great. 562 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 5: I just think the I don't know. 563 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 13: If it's ironic or whatever it is, because Joel Embiid 564 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 13: wasn't a dominant player in twenty eighteen. 565 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 3: He wasn't dominant yet. 566 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 13: And when you talk about when we talked at the 567 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 13: start of the podcast about rivalries and what makes them great, 568 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 13: it's something we don't get as much in professional sports, 569 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 13: which is the same player staying with the same team 570 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 13: for many years over and over again. And that adds 571 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 13: the rivalries. And you're reading this list of Halcheck and 572 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 13: Doctor J and Larry because those guys stayed with the 573 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 13: team nine tenure, and of course, but Evan didn't. This 574 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 13: is my point, which one of these doesn't belong here 575 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 13: for that reason. Of course, Evan Turner should have been 576 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 13: a twenty year six her. 577 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: We all know that, but it didn't happen. 578 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 13: So point being here it is, we're sitting here looking 579 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 13: back when nostalgia to a game five years ago, and 580 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 13: we can talk about a game a couple of weeks 581 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 13: ago where Tatum and Embiid are now going head to 582 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 13: head and the layups that Tatum has gotten against Embiid 583 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 13: over the years with different moves and everything, you know, 584 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 13: was sort of born. 585 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 3: As you said to this moment. 586 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: And it's not just us who thought that. Everyone else down. 587 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: So let's hear what they had to say about Jason 588 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: Tatum and really what most people see as his coming 589 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: out party. And this is when he established himself as 590 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 2: I'm a player. Everyone needs to pay attention to. 591 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 10: This action stabilized me in that game. It felt like, Okay, 592 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 10: we need a good shot. Tatum will figure it out 593 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 10: with a simple step in this and that's when I 594 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 10: knew that it was he was at a different level 595 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 10: than even a couple months before. Then the next game, 596 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 10: he reads a cut and he back cuts for the 597 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 10: game winner. Right, So, yeah, I forget if it was 598 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 10: Smart that hit him or he hit Smart. 599 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: Yep, I can't. 600 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 6: I can't. 601 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 10: One of them read the cut and the other cut 602 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 10: and it was just like a It was a It 603 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 10: was a twenty seven year old veteran read, not a 604 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 10: nineteen year old read. But this action, which there were 605 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 10: several versions of this in this game, and he read 606 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 10: it several different ways, was just designed to give him 607 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 10: a step and a read, and he just made the 608 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 10: right play over and over. 609 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 16: He'd given me chills because he could pull it off. 610 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 16: And Joel Embiid has been one of the elite defenders. 611 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 16: Not only is he elite, he's got dancer's feet at 612 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 16: seven foot two hundred and fifty plus pounds, he can 613 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 16: turn left and right, he can navigate east and west. 614 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 16: And I go back to what I said about the demeanor. 615 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 16: So so Jason hits him with a move. You've got 616 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 16: to get by and not to be sped up, not 617 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 16: to have your mind ahead of where you want so 618 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 16: to dead stop in the restricted area with that guy 619 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 16: in front of you, and to have the presence of 620 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 16: mind to keep your pivot down and then send the 621 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 16: upfake that gets that defender committed, and then finish the play. 622 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 16: At that age, I mean, I couldn't believe he pulled 623 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 16: it off. I was like the fearlessness to attack in 624 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 16: the moment and then again to be able to execute 625 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 16: the move, I mean, shoot, pretty incredible stuff. 626 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 3: I was just impressed with this poise. 627 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 17: I remember just kind of looking over my shoulder and 628 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 17: being like like, Okay, we got something here. Because he 629 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 17: it was timely play. It was you know, reading the defense, 630 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 17: making the simple play, making the right play, but also 631 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 17: not afraid. I'm not afraid at all of the moment. 632 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 17: He I feel like he almost like, you know, he 633 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 17: wanted to be in those positions, uh, to make make 634 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 17: those plays, make those decisions and U and down the stretch. 635 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 3: You know, he was huge for us a bit. But yeah, 636 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 3: I feel like that Philly series. 637 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 17: Uh, you know, was kind of a in my eyes, 638 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 17: it was kind of like a like a coming out 639 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 17: party for him. 640 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 16: Greatness takes what an insatiable appetite to attack your weaknesses, 641 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 16: and we have seen that from the outset of Jalen 642 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 16: or Jason's career. Jason has has identified, Oh, I made 643 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 16: that mistake once in a critical moment. I'm not going 644 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 16: to repeat that mistake. Oh I don't finish going left. 645 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 16: I don't finish well enough in the restricted area. I'm 646 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 16: going to fix that. It takes humility and it takes 647 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 16: work habits, and he's got both. That's how you become great. 648 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: Next up, we talked to Rob Williams about what it's 649 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: like to be a father in the NBA while these 650 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: players are navigating a crazy schedule on a daily basis. 651 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: As he said, it's difficult, but he always finds a 652 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: way because he loves his kids so much. This was 653 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 2: a very heartwarming episode, and this is one of the 654 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: top moments from that conversation. You talked about learning how 655 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: to juggle the league, life and parenthood. That's something that 656 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 2: I want to concentrate on here because I don't think 657 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: everyone out there really kind of understand until you're on 658 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 2: that plane and flying in and out and getting home 659 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: at midnight after a long game. There's only so many 660 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 2: hours in a day. So I mean, I have a dog, 661 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: and I feel like I have barely time to talk 662 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 2: the dog outside. So I can only imagine an actual 663 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: human being that's depending on me. How have you tried 664 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 2: to carve the right amount of time out and what 665 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 2: is the right amount of time that you have found 666 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 2: in your personal life. 667 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 7: So obviously any off day or any day, you know, 668 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 7: just a practice day, but I try to so. 669 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: Just to. 670 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 7: Travel on a game like regular day, we hear, you know, 671 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 7: shoot around. We all shoot around, say ten in the morning. 672 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 7: My son will get up around seven.
