0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the family business. Curious Splashed down three three point. The

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>current generation of Curries have lit the NBA on fire

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>from outside the arc. Steph, of course, is a global superstar,

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>but Seth has carved out his own reputation for himself

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>over the past couple of years, grinding from the G

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>League to become one of the most lethal perimeter shooters

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>in the sport. You gotta believe in yourself. I'm believing

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>your skills. I had to earn it every step of

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.559
<v Speaker 1>a way. I definitely appreciate them of my journey. Hopefully

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it just leading into a long career and they have

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of success. I'm Brian Seltzer and on this

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>episode of the broadcast, Lauren Rosen and I chat with

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the seventy sixers huge Draft Night pickups, Seth Curry.

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>The seventy Sixers new they needed shooting this offseason, and

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>man Daryl Morey did not waste any time getting some,

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>did he Draft Night? About halfway through bag you get

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>the notification on your phone from WOJ Daryl Morey doing

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a deal with the Dallas Mavericks and the Sixers landed

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Seth Curry. How awesome was that? And it's awesome for

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of reasons. Great kid, great story. We know

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the connection with Doc Rivers, which we'll hear about more

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>of shortly. But these numbers are just off the charts

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and exactly the type of numbers the seventy Sixers need

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>from a player to add to their team. Seth Curry

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 1>ranked third in the NBA last season and three point

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>percentage overall forty five point three percent. After January first,

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>he led the NBA by shooting at a cool fifty

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>percent clip even from outside the arc. Insane and a

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>top it all off. Seth Curry the leader among all

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>active players from three point territory at forty four point

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>three percent for his career. That is a pretty good

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>weapon to have in any context, but certainly with the

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>way the seventy Sixers are built, and it's a pleasure

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to now welcome Seth Curry to the pot. Seth, how

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>are you feeling about all this? What have you made

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of this activity in this development? I'm excited man, excited.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>It's another good, good basketball opportunity for me, coming from

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>a place that was a good fifth in my game

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and up becoming team that got better last year. But

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like this might be even better fit playing with

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>guys like Ben and Joel and the new coaching staff

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and new front office. Just kind of a changing mentality,

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>changing regime, but still centered around those two guys. So

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>my just I'm looking forward to come in and trying

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to help this organization is teaming whichever way possible. You

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>mentioned last week you were on a golf trip and

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>last week you were also traded to the Sixers. Can

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you take us through the moment that you found out

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and like what you were up to and how it

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 1>felt to get that news. Yeah, I was on the gulp,

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>sure of my family, um actually the country in Mexico.

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, man, I kind of heard some rumblings over

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 1>the past few days. Just I know my name is

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of talks. I know um Alas feel like

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of trade value out there,

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>just coming off the season I had, and I feel

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>like if they want to shake up their roster, I

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>feel like UM just me to be the best way

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to do it, so I was kind of preparing myself

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>if it did happen, but um, I wanted to be

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to a good place, and once I found out it

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>was Philly was I was definitely excited about it. Like

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's a good give a good fifth for

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>my game, and I'm looking forward to it. I know

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>it's stale to ask you questions like this, but they

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>have to be asked. When did you hear from Doc

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>over the course of that process. Yeah, he called me

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>right after it officially went down and just let me,

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>asked me how I was feeling about it, and just

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>told me he was excited to have me and and

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>how he thinks quickly, how he thought I could fit

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>into the team and my role would be and um,

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just a quick convo. But uh, I mean, it's gonna

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to play for him, and I'm looking forward

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to it because the one thing he said right off

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the bat when we spoke to him on draft night

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, yes, this guy is my southern law, but

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>he's a great basketball player as well. And even listening

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it in the media session you did

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>with reporters, it sounds like you're taking a very matter

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 1>of fact business as usual approach to a very rare

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>but also special dynamic. Yeah, I mean that's the only

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>way to go about in the day. It's I mean,

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a business, and I mean he wouldn't have brought

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>me in, and that organization wouldn't have brought me in.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Uh Darrow and those guys if they didn't feel after

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>how the team win. So Michael job going in and

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>just build on that, trust him and and do whatever

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I can to help you guys get better. And um

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>so the father father on the laws on a lot

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of dynamic is gone do what it does. But my

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>first goal is every day is to win basketball. Games

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>don't matter no matter what happens. So when you spoke

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to reporters earlier, something that struck me most was the

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>way that you talked about your story and the unconventional

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 1>way that you got to where you are today. I

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>don't usually talk about my own background in these types

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of things, but for your reference, I was a duke

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>right after you for four years, and I know how

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>different it is when you're a prospect like you said,

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 1>that's highly touted, that's going to get drafted for a

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>second third overall, no matter what versus the guys that

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 1>stay there for a while and work really hard to

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe get an opportunity to go play in the league.

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think that's a dynamic that we talk

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>about that often. So if you could tell us what

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.239
<v Speaker 1>it was like for you to go to a school

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>like Duke and have success there, but then to go

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.359
<v Speaker 1>undrafted and have to work your way back up to

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a prominent position. If you could just take us through

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>what that process is like, I think people would really

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>like to hear about it. Yeah, I mean it's about,

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>first of all, you gotta believe in yourself and believe

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>your skills. I mean, no matter what s Bahn ever,

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 1>just getting um, I getting the opportunity right away, like

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 1>you said, getting not getting drafted, like I had to

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>earn it every every step of the way, um and

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>earned a high school cool at, earning my respect of

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>college and had earned the right to get the opportunity

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to earn in the NBA. So um, I mean, like

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I said, I definitely appreciative of my journey and I

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have it any other way because I think I

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like it just prepared me for how my career

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.559
<v Speaker 1>is going. As far as just being able to adapt

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.359
<v Speaker 1>to different different circumstances and play my role to the

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>best of my ability, and hopefully it just leads me

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 1>to a long career and have a lot of success.

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel like your time that you spent

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>in the G League helped inform the player that you

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>are today, because that's a grind, Like what was that

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>like and what kept you motivated to keep going and

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>get ultimately to the league? Yeah. One thing I know

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>is just about the G League and being there is

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 1>you got to really love the game to make it.

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's it's not the glamorous life style.

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not nobody really you can have a great game

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and nobody really cares about it as far as going

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter and social media or fans that much. It's

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>just about really knowing yourself and knowing how you played.

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>You played well, played bad, and and and you gotta

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>love the grind of the traveling and stepping on the

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>floor every night. So it prepared me in that sense

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of really enjoying the to play the game and the

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>work on my game every day. And um, it also

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>just gave me some good reps as far as just

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>getting the basketball, learning different parts of my game and

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>being able to grow as far as playing point guard

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot in the G League, and and like I said,

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>being a being a versus the player that can play

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>on it off the ball. It's an interesting point you

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>bring up because I feel like development League's not even

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>saying necessarily in basketball, but this could be true for

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>other sports like baseball. It could either crush you because

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you realize you don't have what it takes to stick

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it out, or you're like, I kind of gotta get

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>out your first. I believe in myself, and I gotta

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>keep doing what I gotta do to get out. And

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>going back to what Lauren said, I think it's also

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>important to note that you didn't start a duke. You

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>finished your last three years there, but you were at

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Liberty as well. Was there ever a point, even once

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you got a few opportunities in the NBA, and I'm

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>talking like the Memphis, Cleveland, Phoenix, Sacramento period, we were

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>like this might not work out. Did that thought ever

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>creep into your head like being as far as being

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a mainstay, recognizable player in the NBA. Absolutely absolutely. I

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>mean I gave myself a little window of getting that

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to stick in the NBA, and then I would

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>come to go of a Caesar and going a different route.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I always knew I could play an aby.

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I know I was, and I was good enough, but

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't control whether I get the opportunity to show

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>it or not. So I think I was just trying

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>to make the most of every opportunity I had playing

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>in front of people in the G League, just focus

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on a game better every day. And I was having

0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>fun because I was I was getting to play a

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of minute down there and and just waited my opportunity,

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and when it finally came U, I'm happy I was

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>able to to make the most of it it and stick.

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So fast forward now, and not only are you one

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 1>of the consistent faces of this week, someone that people

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>know as a reliable, especially shooter, but you're one of

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the best statistically speaking shooters of all time. So how

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>does that feel now to know that you put in

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that work. Not only did it pay off, it's paid

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.959
<v Speaker 1>off in like a historic type way. It's motivating just

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to stay there to keep it going. I mean, it

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>feels good. I mean I always knew I could shoot

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the ball, and it was a good shooter, and I

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>knew if I work hard enough to get the right

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>amount of shots, I'll shoot at a high clip. Maybe

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>not as high as I as I have this far,

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, I know the bar I've set for myself,

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and I know I could be better in a lot

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of different areas as well. So, like I said, it's

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.199
<v Speaker 1>motivated me for to stay up there as far as

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that those rankings and and get better in other areas

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.079
<v Speaker 1>of my game as well. To shoot at the clip

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you did. Though, once the calendar flip from twenty nineteen

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to twenty twenty, I think that in some ways, like

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>if you look at Seth Curry's basketball statistics, that's one

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>of the few good developments of the year twenty twenty.

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>This year, it was there, there's something that that clicked

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>for you down the stretch of the season. What were

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the things that worked for you your second

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 1>time around in Dallas that you might hope see carry

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>over to your stint now with the Sixers. I got

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more comfort of in the offense, give

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more comfortam playing with the guys who

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>had on the team last year. But I think somehow

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>over the tidy of my career. It's like the second

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>half of the Sea every season, even in Poorlan last

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>year and the first time in Dallas, the second half

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>or the second third after the first quarter of the year,

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like I've gotten better and figured out my role

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and started shooting the ball better. So hopefully I won't

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>start slow this year just to start off the way

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm shooting the second half of every every year of

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>my career. But um, I think it's gonna take everybody

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of time to adjust the new team

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that we have. You spoke about both Ben and Joel

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>when you talked to the rest of the media, and

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>for me and Celts, we've watched these guys now both

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>of us for a few years, pretty closely every day.

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And I'm always curious as an opponent because you've only

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.679
<v Speaker 1>played against them to this point. As an opponent, what

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>are your impressions of Ben and Joel and what made

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>them impressive to you when you were up against them.

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're good, They're really good. They're dominant forces physically,

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>like no matter what you can, one guy, no matter

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>who it is, is going to really stop them from

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>getting the where they want to. Go and doing what

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>they want to do. You got to put multiple bodies

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in front of both of them to stop them from

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.839
<v Speaker 1>from scoring. So um, that's always a challenge. And whenever

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you load a defense up, that makes it easier for

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>the other guys on the team to get shot. So um,

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's exciting to be able to be on

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.439
<v Speaker 1>that team now and be able to play with them,

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and like my job is to come in and make

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>life easier for him, giving them more space and help

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>them win more games and get to that next level

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and next career. As far as winning in the playoffs,

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you, guys. I feel like it's

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>always a dangerous proposition to open up the mentions or

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the comments, but I'm going to venture into that category here.

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>We got some questions on our Instagram story from some

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>fans out there for you, Seth Timmy dot Buckling. To

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>build on that question that Lauren just asked, you said,

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>ask Seth if he's excited to be in pick and

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>roll picking pop situations specifically with Joel and being I

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>know that you reference that just there and also in

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>your media availability as well, but just talk about that

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>combination and what potential you see in it, see a

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of potential. There's a say, he's a dominant threat

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>on probably the best center in the league who who

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>draws a lot of attention. But it's gonna allow me

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to get shots. But if I can come up and

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>be aggressive, I can hopefully trace them easier shots for

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>him as well. So I'm looking forward to to figuring out.

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of similar to I know, I played with

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 1>DeMarcus Cousins when I was a Sacramento so similar to

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>that as far as some of the things we've been

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>able to do off that pick and roll and also

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>being able to pick and pop and create play. So

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to it. And also I might be able

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>to screen on Ben and do some pick and pop

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>on myself, so that might be something new. So I

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 1>know we're gonna sort of start to wrap it up

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>now because we don't want to take too much of

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>your time. But something I'm very curious about is how

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.559
<v Speaker 1>different people in different walks of life have handled twenty twenty.

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 1>So when you look back on this year, it's coming

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to a close and it looks like things might be

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.319
<v Speaker 1>getting close to getting better for a lot of people.

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>What are you going to remember most about this year,

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>whether it's this trade or going back to the bubble

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>or going back to before that, spending time on your own,

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>like how did you stay motivated, how did you stay ready?

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And what are you looking forward to as we start

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to turn the page. I think the main thing is

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.839
<v Speaker 1>just our ability to adapt and change our lifestyles to

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>still be effective and doing what we need to do obsolutely.

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 1>A lot of stuff was was changed this year. A

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of people had to step by comfort zones and

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>figure out different ways to make impact on the world,

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>on life, and I had to change the way I

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>worked out and got ready for the season in the bubble,

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and everybody had to adapt to being in the bubble

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to be able to play. So I think, um, and

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 1>hopefully it's just like you say, it gets better and

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>we can get a little bit back to normal, but

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>things will never be the same as far as our

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 1>mentalities and the way we went in our life before

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty and the things that went on. So it's

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of promise and I'm looking forward to two

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>new things going forward. Well, put, I'm gonna throw one

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>more Well, I'm actually gonna riff on a question that

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 1>we got on Instagram. ROLANDA. Crawford asked, how do you

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>feel having to play for your father in law Doc Rivers?

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>With the seventy six years we covered that, I'm gonna

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>spin off that and I'm gonna ask you two really

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>pointed questions. And being the father of two and a

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>half year old twins myself, I mean, I feel like

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I could be at risk of answering a question like this,

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>What type of granddad is Doc Rivers? Is he the

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>hovering type that I've always got a FaceTime type like

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 1>what would give us a little a little background of

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the type of granddad Doc Rivers is? And then who

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>is the better golfer between the two of you? I've

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>gotten a lot. He was better than me. I was

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>first I hit on the golf park because he was

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>better than me for a long time over the quarantine.

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And I've gotten to be able to play a little

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 1>bit more golf, so I actually caught up to him.

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I might be a little better than him now, but

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll find out. We haven't played in a while. But

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>as far as him being a grandfather, is a great

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>great granddad, I mean he not the He's obviously real busy.

0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 1>He has a demanding job and he's all over the place,

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>so he's not the FaceTime every day kind of guy.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>But when he's around he's he's very active. And my daughter,

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Carter loves her a granddad, so I mean he's doing

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>a great job. Man. She'll she'll love being around him

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more, he said, as much as self,

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>he said before Seth before Callie is like, I've got

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Carter around now, so that's perhaps the biggest perk of all. Yeah, well,

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>great stuff, Seth. Really appreciate you taking the time. Excited

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to have you as part of the seventy sixers. I

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>know the fans are as well. Enjoy what like the

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>holiday weekend before you got to be in town or

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>so and get working be more day though, right to it.

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much man, best of luck. All right, some

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>really good, wholesome stuff from Seth Curry. And as good

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>as that story is about him playing for his father

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>in law, the best part of this acquisition. He is

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>an excellent basketball player with an elite skill that will

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 1>no doubt help the seventy sixers. That'll do it. From

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>this episode of the broadcast, we have a lot knock

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.880
