12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: it Jamal Crawford Summer League.

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, crossover, Yeah.

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: The Crossover Summer League last What was it like, first

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: and foremost being drafted number two, but then having to

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: sit and watch the entire season.

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 3: I don't know. It was a lot of emotions.

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 4: Obviously, you guys know what it's like, you know, to

19
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 4: come into the league. You know, you guys got these aspirations,

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 4: all the shit you've worked hard for, and then it

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: was like it's like just ran into a wall and

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 4: there's nothing I could do about it. Just kind of

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: an instance thing. And then after that it was just

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: trying to figure out how to get back what was

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 4: the actual injury? Is your foot right, Yeah, So it

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: was a list Frank injury. So it's basically a mid

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: foot injury, and it was injury to a small ligament

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: in my foot. But somehow to process of recovering just

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 4: you know, a long time.

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: It takes a long time.

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: So how long were you actually off your foot before

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: you were able to put weight back on and do anything.

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a process.

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: You know, I had surgery and then for six weeks

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: I was on a scooter, just shooting on a scooter

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: every day, literally did the same routine every single day.

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: And then from the was like crutches and then one

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: crutch and then walking with the boot and then you

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, it was just step after step.

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: I probably wasn't walking normal until I mean, I had

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: a second surgery to get the hardware out, so you know,

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: it was it was months.

43
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: So what is the last year been like? Obviously, drafted, hurt,

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: watched the whole season healthy. Now you're you're in the

45
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: midst of summer league right now, going into your rookie season,

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: so to speak, What is this last year been like

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: for you?

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: It obviously looked a lot different than if I was playing,

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: but it had all the same ups and downs. You know,

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: I had the hard days, the good days, you know,

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 4: the days where I felt like I was making a

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 4: lot of progress, and then the days where it felt

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: like the same day as yesterday. You know, I just

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: tried to kind of stay level headed through it and

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: just you know, not let it become a curse. You know,

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: obviously you don't want that to happen, but you can

57
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: either make it a blessing and make you know, make

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: something good out of it, or just kind of just

59
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: sit there and not do nothing with it, and then

60
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: you know, it just continues to get worse and worse.

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: So recently you said you've been trying to add weight

62
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: to your frame. What is that process been like? Kind

63
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 2: of just devotment. You're still so young, you just turned

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: twenty one in May. What has been like just trying

65
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: to add some muscles to your body?

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: Now? Like you said, it's not just about being big.

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: You know, there's so much into the game now, Like

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: you got to be able to move still and do

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 4: so many different things. It's not necessarily about gaining weight.

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: It's really just trying to work on my body. You know, stronger, yeah,

71
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: stronger and more athletic. Really the way kind of comes

72
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: with it. As you add some muscle and you know,

73
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: get older, you always, you know, add weight, but I

74
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: don't want to add the wrong weight and just get

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: you know, some big broad shoulders and now moving slow,

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: can't move my knees hurt, you know.

77
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: So you know, the.

78
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: Focus been just working on my body all around and

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: like how it plays into my game and how it plays.

80
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: How do you feel about your game right now? Obviously

81
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: coming into the draft, he was cooking great, great year

82
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: in college, number two pick, playing well in the summer league,

83
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: A long layoff. Where do you feel like your game?

84
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Are you one hundred percent back or where do you

85
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: feel your game?

86
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Is that right now?

87
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I definitely feel like I'm in a good

88
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: groove right now. But you know, whether I never got

89
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: hurt or I'm in the position I'm in now, you know,

90
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: I'm just you know, out there trying to learn from

91
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: my mistakes as a young player and kind of grow

92
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: through it. You know, my game isn't finished. I don't

93
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: think it'll ever be finished. It's like a puzzle with

94
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: unlimited pieces, you know. So to add that this piece

95
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 4: over and over, and that's kind of where I'm at.

96
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: I definitely feel like I'm in a different flow than

97
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: I was last year when I got hurt. But I

98
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: feel like I'm doing some things better. Some things, you know,

99
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 4: I got to kind of get caught back up with.

100
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: But uh, you know, I just got no complaints.

101
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: Man.

102
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: I'm blessed to be back out, absolutely.

103
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 5: And I'm gonna tell you too, it ain't too much

104
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 5: about gaining weight. Like, as you play, you're gonna learn

105
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 5: how to take those bumps and bruises, hitting the floor

106
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 5: and all that. Your body gonna get used to us.

107
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: So they just too much about gaining weight. It's about

108
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: getting used to the game too. Yeah, exactly, thunder Sga

109
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 5: Case and Wilder's I coached a lot of these guys.

110
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: Lou Dark, gey Ja Jaalen Williams, y'all got a stacks

111
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 5: How you feel about next year?

112
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: Man, I'm excited just because you know, our management does

113
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: a great job of putting great guys in the locker

114
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: room as well as on the staff. But we're also

115
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: so young, like everybody has room to grow. Shae, everybody

116
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 4: saw what he did last year, but you know, he

117
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: just turned twenty five.

118
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Like two days ago.

119
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: You know, he's going to continue to get better, and

120
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: you know it's just gonna be on us to get

121
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: in the lab together and build that chemistry and figure

122
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 4: out how to put the pieces together, because you know,

123
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: we got we got a lot of talent.

124
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 5: Talk about SGA. I mean, he had a great year.

125
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 5: You got a chance to watch him for a whole season.

126
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: What's so special about him?

127
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you see what's so special about him on

128
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: the court, you know, and he picks that ball up.

129
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: But honestly, if you didn't see all the highlights and

130
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: the Instagram followers and stuff, if you were just around

131
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 4: him every day and didn't know about all that, you

132
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: think he's a regular person. You know, he laughs and

133
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 4: jokes with us, you know, the same as the last

134
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 4: guy on the roster, you know, which I think is

135
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: great for our team because you know, it doesn't create

136
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: that hierarchy, doesn't you know, nobody feels like they're not

137
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: good enough to talk to this person about this. You know,

138
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: we're kind of just everybody's on the same level, which

139
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 4: is huge for us.

140
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 3: And that's and that's good when your stars like that.

141
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 5: Definitely leading too on such a young team, what players

142
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: have been able to teach you about life in the NBA?

143
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: Like, do you have any any og.

144
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Like that team?

145
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: I mean we had, we had Mike last year and

146
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: then he ended up in Boston. We got k Rich

147
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 4: with us, but like, like, we don't even really have

148
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 4: rookie duties because.

149
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: You look like an O G. He just a young boy,

150
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: but he looked like O G.

151
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Y'all just got the lot blind leading the blind.

152
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much, but.

153
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: Right now, and I feel like we do a pretty

154
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: good job of not having to learn through mistakes off

155
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: the court. Like, like I said, we got great dudes

156
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 4: in the locker room, and obviously mistakes happened, but you know,

157
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: we do a pretty good job of looking out for

158
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,360

Speaker 3: down the roster. Like like, we got dudes. That's what

208
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: I'm excited about.

209
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 5: To see SGA go to the too in casing at

210
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,120

211
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: play with both of those. But to have HG at

212
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 5: the two, well, he ain't got to run the offense.

213
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 5: That's gonna be scared.

214
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't haven't run offense anyways, Like he

215
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: don't even you don't even talk to coach about you know,

216
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: I want this play run for me.

217
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: He's like, you know, I'm gonna touch the ball. I'm

218
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: gonna touch the ball. That's all. You know.

219
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: If you touch the ball, you're gonna get thirty. So

220
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: he's one of those dudes for sure.

221
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Uh, first year coming in.

222
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 2: Are there any goals you set for yourself Rookie of

223
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: the year, play a certain amount of games or rookie

224
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: anything like that.

225
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: Or is it more team focused for you?

226
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd say it's a little bit of both,

227
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 4: you know, like the personal stuff like I kind of

228
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: keep to myself, but obviously, like winning is the first

229
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: and foremost thing all the time. You know, if you

230
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: don't win, you don't really give respect. So you know

231
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 4: the number one thing is winning. Helping figure out how

232
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: to win with my teammates too, you know, because if

233
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: they see I'm just out there to try and reach

234
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: personal accolades, like they're not gonna rock with that, you know,

235
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: And I wouldn't rock with that either, if you know

236
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 4: I saw somebody trying to do that. So, uh, you

237
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: know it's gonna start day one the training camp. I

238
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: mean it already has started, really, but you know, between

239
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 4: us play coaching staff, you know, we just got to

240
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 4: figure out how to win as many games as we.

241
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: Can outside of your teammates. Three guys you like.

242
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: To watch current or like former just whatever period. I

243
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: mean Duran, I've been watching Durance since I started playing.

244
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 4: I got to hoop against from last summer hopefully again

245
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: this summer too. You know that's always good bump, be

246
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: able to work on your ship with. You know, dudes

247
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: who got what you're trying to you know what I'm saying.

248
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 3: So, uh, guys like Durant.

249
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: My first year started watching NBA basketball was was Dirk

250
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: in twenty eleven, so you know, I've always watched a

251
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 4: lot of his bump. And then like I could name

252
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: ten dudes for the third spot, from Mike to Kobe

253
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: to like dudes like Book, you know, all the super

254
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: skilled guys and you know, try to take something from them.

255
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Fans.

256
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: I used to watch a little Matt Barnes and stack

257
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 4: back and then you.

258
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: Got this when we caused a little Rucords there and

259
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: then growing up in Minneapolis.

260
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 4: Like it's cool, Like we had a good amount of

261
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: talent coming out of there the last few years.

262
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: It's just, uh, you.

263
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: Know, kind of once you get up, get up out

264
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: of there and kind of move on to the different

265
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: hoop scenes. Especially when all the other dudes have gotten

266
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 4: out of there too and they're hooping here, hooping there,

267
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 4: it's tough to you know, kind of find runs out

268
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: there just because everybody's all over the place. So you know,

269
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: I'm wherever the runs are at, really, So you know,

270
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: I spent a lot of time in La or uh,

271
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 4: you know, wherever I can find runs really, But you know,

272
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: we got a lot of talent that came out of there,

273
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 4: whether I played with them or against them. You know,

274
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: it's all love back in Minnesota. Yeah, I hope everybody

275
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: succeeds from there.

276
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 5: You know, you blew up in high school. You had

277
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 5: a viral moment when you was at Steph Camp. Is

278
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 5: that when you blew up and everybody knewho you was?

279
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 5: That's that was your viral moment.

280
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: I say, like my internet fame, I guess picked up

281
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: in that moment. But like the beginning of that kind

282
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 4: of AU season was when I like took the basketball

283
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: world kind of figured out who I was. You know,

284
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 4: I came out that first first tournament on seventeens and

285
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: average like a triple double blocks. So like after that

286
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: it was kind of just you know, an uphill trajectory.

287
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: And then that moment happened, and that's when like all

288
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: the little kids you know, and started knowing my name,

289
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: and like everywhere I would go, I'd get like little

290
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: people screamed my name, ask for signatures and stuff, which

291
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: was probably good that I had that early on because

292
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: I kind of got used to it, learned how to move,

293
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 4: how to you know, how to deal with it in

294
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: regular life.

295
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 5: You know, you ended up landing at Gonzaga. What makes

296
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,239
Speaker 5: Gonzaga such a basketball powerhouse.

297
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of reasons. They've had a

298
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: lot of talent come through there.

299
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know, the coaches figure

300
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 4: out how to piece that talent together and figure out

301
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: how to win with it. So, you know, I say,

302
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: that's that's one of the main reasons being able to

303
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: get talent there. You know, all the way back in

304
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: the days with Tommy he's at Arizona now, but he

305
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: got a lot of international guys in there, and then eventually,

306
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: you know a lot of dudes from you know in

307
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: America started showing up and you know, they were able

308
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: to make some good runs with it, and you know,

309
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: I see that going forward. They got a good squad

310
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: coming up this year too. Transferportal shits all all different

311
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 4: game completely.

312
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, even though you know this position is basketball. Now

313
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 5: you're seeing more guys been able to do more things

314
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 5: on the court. You know, we were two way players,

315
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 5: but you're seeing guys like you, your size been able

316
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 5: to do things guards do with your skills set. How

317
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 5: do you look at the evolution of the game with

318
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: more big guys like you, when beyond the guys that

319
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 5: coming in the game that can do it all past

320
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: seven foot.

321
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's huge. Like if you look at

322
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 4: some of the more old school offenses, like like it's

323
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: slower and the ball gets stuck more because two people

324
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: have to have the ball the whole time. There's two

325
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 4: people on the court, can't do shit with the ball.

326
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 4: Now now it's like shit's moving constantly, decide back and forth.

327
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: You got actions happening on the weak side, and then

328
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 4: you got dudes who just catch the ball and just

329
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: do some crazy ship.

330
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: It's like, how did that just happen?

331
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 4: You know, because it's like now all five dudes on

332
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: the floor got to be able to play with the

333
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: ball and make decisions. So like that's part of that.

334
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 4: And the three point shooting, I say, is part of why,

335
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 4: like the offensive offenses have taken off so much, and

336
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: like the points per game has gone up so much.

337
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: But I think it's great for basketball too. If people

338
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: wanted to watch big dudes run into each other, they

339
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 4: go to the w W match, you know, right, you

340
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: know it's about watching skill and you know, seeing ship

341
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: that like you don't really see regular people do at

342
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: the park.

343
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 5: You know, Well, it's gonna be good for me because

344
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: I used to see Tim Duncan and David Robbins run

345
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 5: a pick and roll four or five pick and roll

346
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: to say that, right, I.

347
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: Was like back then that before you know what I'm saying.

348
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: So we're gonna be able to see a lot of

349
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: that with guys like you and with me, So it's

350
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: gonna be good for the game.

351
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 5: I think AI Classic alumni, that's where we met. We

352
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: I formed a relationship with a lot of guys. Just

353
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 5: talk about during the pandemic, how important that game was

354
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: because a lot of games wasn't going on.

355
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that was the only one we got. Yeah,

356
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: so like that was like the last chance in high school.

357
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 4: It's like me and Pete got to play against each other.

358
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: All these dudes who like are you know, everybody got

359
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: something to prove, you know, so it's like, uh, we

360
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: all get to play against each other one last time

361
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: before we go to college. And uh, you know, it's

362
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: always great to compete. So you normally get McDonald's, you

363
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: get the Nike hoops something, you get Jordan's brand, you

364
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: get Iverson, you get you.

365
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: Know, whatever it is.

366
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 4: We only got that one, so like that was, you know,

367
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: our one chance to go at it. And you know,

368
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: shout out to y'all putting putting together the event man.

369
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, thank you Chip for coming.

370
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 6: Or I just want to appreciate you in the brand

371
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 6: daily from showtime or they you know, really put on

372
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 6: the great Evendo Jelani Jelani. Uh you really listen to

373
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 6: me this time. I know you kind of got frustrated

374
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 6: me telling you to turn the music, Dan, but I

375
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 6: understand you projunction your methods.

376
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you your landing. He was impersonated, but.

377
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: That was Bobby.

378
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

379
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: It makes sense that anything you picked up you know,

380
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: obviously working on your craft, getting healthy, but anything you

381
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: picked up from just sitting a whole year and watching

382
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: the game from the front row.

383
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I picked up a lot of things, like not

384
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: only from a team sense of just like how the

385
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: NBA game works and like how our team kind of

386
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 4: works as a team, but also like their shit you

387
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: see up close that you do not see on the TV,

388
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 4: like all the elbows Chris Paul be throwing, and you

389
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, like all the little tiny shit

390
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: that the TV don't really pick up, but you see

391
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: all that when you're twenty feet away. So like picked

392
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 4: up all that, you know, some full work shit, Like

393
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: you know I couldn't play, but you know I tried

394
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: to focus as much as my ADHD would allow, and

395
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 4: you know, again try to make something of it because

396
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: you know I couldn't really do shit. That's the hard

397
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: part of it. Like, you know, you get drafted. Front

398
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: office believes in you, your friends and family believe in you,

399
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: the fan base believes in you. And then it's like

400
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 4: now you got to sit down and it's like you

401
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 4: can't really go out there and do like you can't, yeah.

402
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: Speak to the mental side of that, because obviously you

403
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: were physically hurt. But as you're touching on right now,

404
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 2: that shit is a mental drain. It's mentally frustrating. I'm

405
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: like you said, there's up days, there's down. There's probably

406
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: a lot of down days. We talked to Klay Thompson

407
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: when he had to miss nearly two and a half years,

408
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: and he said it was the hardest thing he had

409
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: ever gone through in his life. That's probably the first

410
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: time basketball's really been taken from you. Right.

411
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 4: In fact, before that, I'd never been hurt for longer

412
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 4: than a week or two weeks.

413
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: I've never really missed basketball.

414
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 4: And you know, that's tough when you're not hooping, especially

415
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 4: like that's the first time I've ever not been able

416
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 4: to hoop. And it's tough because, like you know, whenever

417
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 4: you know something doesn't go my way or you know

418
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: I'm pissed off or something, you know, I just go hoop,

419
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: go compete, let it all out.

420
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: At the gym or whatever.

421
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 4: And you know, not being able to do that, you know,

422
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: it's tough, and you know I was I'm thankful that

423
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: good people around me, and you know, I know a

424
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: lot of times that can kind of lead to bad

425
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: things for people looking for the outlets. So you know,

426
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: I just tried to keep my focus on basketball, like

427
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 4: I couldn't really compete, but you know, I was more

428
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: just kind of competing with myself at that point to

429
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: stay locked in.

430
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 5: Let me tell you, though, being hurt, the bonus side

431
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 5: from that is you have to think and see and

432
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 5: dream your success in basketball before you got that.

433
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: Even if you're not hurt.

434
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like you're all going to

435
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 4: vision myself getting to the NBA before I could exact, you

436
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So like it's just like doubling

437
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 4: down on that process really of it. And you know,

438
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 4: I feel like I did that pretty well. You know,

439
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 4: I didn't kind of let my focus slip at all.

440
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 4: And again like great people around me who continue to

441
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 4: believe in me, Like it's it's it's easy to think like, oh,

442
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 4: I got hurt, you know now, Like I know Jamal

443
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: Murray went through the same thing. I saw something he

444
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 4: was saying like, oh I'm damage good, y'all gonna trade

445
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 4: me now? Like all those thoughts go through your whole Yeah,

446
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: So it's just good having like the people behind you,

447
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: not only like my family and friends who've like always

448
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 4: been behind me, but like you know, from the medical

449
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 4: staff and the front office and the coaches. Just seeing

450
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: like the process that we went through every single day

451
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: and like how much they worked with me. Like it

452
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: really showed like how much they you know, valued me,

453
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: and you know I had to. I couldn't take that

454
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: for granted, so like it helped me lock in evenmore.

455
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: You know, give us a summertime day in the life

456
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: of chat. So if you're in LA for a month,

457
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: give me a typical grind day.

458
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: What time you up? What are you doing until you

459
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: go to sleep?

460
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's gonna be different every day. You know.

461
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 4: Unfortunately in LA there's traffic and shit, so you got

462
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 4: to factor all that.

463
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: But usually I'm up at eight am.

464
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: You know, I got to get a big breakfast in

465
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 4: and I can't go straight from eating at the food

466
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: to on the court. So you know, I'll eat my

467
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 4: breakfast and then you know, I'll either get treatment or

468
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,600

548
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: like it's the comparison.

549
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: I mean I understand that, but I'm saying, like me

550
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 4: sitting here and arguing and saying you're wrong versus I'm right.

551

00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: And like each of them did so much for the game,

553
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 4: It's like I feel like it kind of just diminishes

554
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: the respect that we should be given.

555
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,639

558
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 4: So it's it's like a compliment to each of them

559
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 4: that you're even arguing about it, you know what I mean?

560
