Speaker 1: Search seventy Sixers Insiders wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the seventy Sixers Insiders podcast, part of the
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers podcast network. I'm Matt Murphy joined by Lauren Rosen,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot going on right now in Sixers Land,
Speaker 1: training camp practices, wrapping up the media day prior to that,
Speaker 1: and then preseason games right around the corner. As we
Speaker 1: record this on a Sunday ahead of the first preseason
Speaker 1: game on Monday, Lauren, there's a lot to talk about
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Sixers, a lot to look
Speaker 1: forward to. How are you doing as the season is
Speaker 1: upon us. It seems like it got here fast, but
Speaker 1: it is exciting. Nonetheless, I'm gonna be honest, I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: I love the season. I love the fact that things
Speaker 1: start are starting to feel like they're going a little
Speaker 1: bit back to normal. Last year was really tough, I
Speaker 1: think on players, fans, staff, everybody. I love the preseason
Speaker 1: as well because it feels like you're sort of creeping
Speaker 1: towards the real thing and you get to sort of
Speaker 1: see the pieces start to fit together, and obviously there's
Speaker 1: a ton going on within without the organization. It's an
Speaker 1: exciting time. There is a lot of buzz, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of noise, but I've been really impressed by the
Speaker 1: way that the group has sort of navigated through training camp,
Speaker 1: has galvanized together. At training camp. It seems like the
Speaker 1: vibes are really strong. We're seeing a lot of smiles
Speaker 1: at practice, We're hearing a lot of thoughtfulness in media,
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited about about what the season's going
Speaker 1: to have to offer. It is good to be back
Speaker 1: in the gym at here at the seventy six ers
Speaker 1: training complex, the sun shining through, and the players meeting
Speaker 1: with media in person. It's definitely a return to normalcy
Speaker 1: in that sense. We're going to talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about training camp and some takeaways there from the
Speaker 1: early practices this season, get into the preseason schedule with
Speaker 1: what's to come there. I do want to talk about
Speaker 1: your media day one on ones towards the end, as
Speaker 1: we got to talk about yours too, Murph, come on, true, true,
Speaker 1: but yours have been the ones leading us out of
Speaker 1: the gate with Joel mb Tobias Harris, doc rivers. The
Speaker 1: list goes on and on, so we'll talk about those
Speaker 1: a little more in depth towards the end and some
Speaker 1: of the best moments there that fans should be looking
Speaker 1: out for. But as we talk about the run of
Speaker 1: show for the six or season, it started last week
Speaker 1: with Media Day on Monday, when those one on ones
Speaker 1: were took place, I should say, so, what did you
Speaker 1: make of Media Day? I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: didn't know what Media Day was going to look like,
Speaker 1: and I think the second that Danny Green came in
Speaker 1: with a boombox and was just getting everybody involved. I mean,
Speaker 1: he started with his teammates. Obviously the group was together
Speaker 1: prior to meeting with media, but then as soon as
Speaker 1: he came out and saw the staff and saw media,
Speaker 1: He's walking around with a boombox, channeling a little bit
Speaker 1: Former six or Dwight Howard, which is something I asked
Speaker 1: him about in his one on one interview. That's something
Speaker 1: that Dwight used to do a lot at and Danny
Speaker 1: is sort of carrying that torch. Obviously, there are very
Speaker 1: few veterans in this game that are as well respected
Speaker 1: as Danny Green, but it was cool to see him
Speaker 1: come out ready for a new season, but obviously very
Speaker 1: intentional about wanting to set the tone properly and give
Speaker 1: the group something to smile about, give the group something
Speaker 1: to dance about. And his vibes all day were absolutely unmatched.
Speaker 1: So I think as soon as he set the tone
Speaker 1: that way, things were, we're off to the races, at
Speaker 1: least for us. For context, you and I, you were
Speaker 1: up in General Media and you were able to ingest
Speaker 1: all the content and everything that was going on at
Speaker 1: General Media all day. I was downstairs doing our one
Speaker 1: on one interviews. We tried to switch off unsuccessfully. I
Speaker 1: was not able to make it up to General Media
Speaker 1: at all. In everything, we thought we were going to
Speaker 1: be sixty seconds away from either station. It didn't quite
Speaker 1: work out that way, but we did get all the
Speaker 1: content we needed up at the at the General Media
Speaker 1: and downstairs in the one on ones, which by the way,
Speaker 1: are all on YouTube or are being rolled out on
Speaker 1: the Sixers YouTube channel right now. Don't turn us off.
Speaker 1: We're going to have a really good podcast for the
Speaker 1: next twenty or so minutes, because we're going to give
Speaker 1: you the time, maybe not the exact time codes, we're
Speaker 1: gonna give you the areas of those interviews to go
Speaker 1: check out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of Easter
Speaker 1: eggs there. It was the first time two in a
Speaker 1: while that we've been able to just like sit down
Speaker 1: and have extended conversations with these guys in person. I
Speaker 1: did a lot of interviews over zoom in the last
Speaker 1: year and a half, and Media Day was cool because
Speaker 1: it reminded me how much better it is to just
Speaker 1: interact in person. And so that's something that I'm going
Speaker 1: to continue to try to be really intentional and grateful
Speaker 1: about as we move forward. You talked about general media.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, Danny Green had the boombox everywhere when
Speaker 1: he brought it up there, the vibes were a little
Speaker 1: bit different with the all the national and local reporters
Speaker 1: in the interview area, like the general interview area where
Speaker 1: I was most of the day, and Danny brought the
Speaker 1: boombox and was trying to get everybody a little more
Speaker 1: excited bring a really good job of that. Later on,
Speaker 1: I think right after Tyrese Maxie sat down and the
Speaker 1: reporters have masks on, we all had masks on, and
Speaker 1: he looks at everyone he goes, why does everyone look
Speaker 1: so serious, so that things like that the players just
Speaker 1: that face to face interaction. And then he had the
Speaker 1: viral clip of identifying Paul Hudrick, a reporter that covers
Speaker 1: the team, also known as mister Paul. Mister Paul, It's
Speaker 1: good to see you in person. I've only ever seen
Speaker 1: you on the computer screen. He's like, could you repeat
Speaker 1: your question, because he was just enamored by looking someone
Speaker 1: face to face that he only knew virtually for a
Speaker 1: full season, his full rookie season, and then from media
Speaker 1: day practices started, so they practiced Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, off day, Friday,
Speaker 1: and then over the weekend as well as we record.
Speaker 1: But back in the gym long practices three hour practices
Speaker 1: for doc rivers I believe scheduled to be three. It
Speaker 1: seems like they're wrapping a little bit before that three
Speaker 1: hour mark. But the guys have been getting in really early,
Speaker 1: which I think has been nice to see. They're eating
Speaker 1: breakfast together, they're going downstairs, they're talking there. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's good to just see that everybody's back in
Speaker 1: the building, that they're very together, that they're enjoying training camp.
Speaker 1: And of course for reference for those listening. We have
Speaker 1: very limited access to what goes on in training camp,
Speaker 1: but even when is let in, usually around fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: before practice, raps were able to watch the way that
Speaker 1: the guys are running their sets together. We've seen a
Speaker 1: little bit of live play. We've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: the of practice breaking down and then the guys separate
Speaker 1: to shoot. Sometimes they shoot together, but it does feel
Speaker 1: that it's a group that's enjoying their time together, even
Speaker 1: in the limited amount of time we've been able to
Speaker 1: see them together. So that's something that I think a
Speaker 1: lot of Sixers fans were really fond of last year's
Speaker 1: team about it. And obviously last year's season didn't end
Speaker 1: the way that any would anybody in the Sixers organization
Speaker 1: or the city wanted it too. But I think one
Speaker 1: thing that everybody saw was how strong the team had
Speaker 1: bonded together and the way that they enjoyed each other.
Speaker 1: And I think in maintaining the same core from last year,
Speaker 1: keeping those good vibe captains. By those captains, I mean
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris and Danny Green together, Tobias is able to
Speaker 1: sort of keep everybody together on a deep, like spiritual level,
Speaker 1: and then Danny Green is able to keep it light.
Speaker 1: I think the two of them being the core of
Speaker 1: the leadership group is going to really help with with
Speaker 1: bringing those good vibes into the next season as the
Speaker 1: goal remains the same and as they look to sort
Speaker 1: of build upon the disappointments of last season and correct
Speaker 1: some of the errors that they made in the postseason.
Speaker 1: That's that's also been a big topic of conversation prior
Speaker 1: to the first practice. Stock Rivers and a couple guys
Speaker 1: on the team let us know that they watched the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of Game seven to kick off practice, and
Speaker 1: they watched the little things they could have done differently
Speaker 1: where they missed out in the margins. I think it's
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a really good at least for me,
Speaker 1: I would find that extremely motivating to watch that and
Speaker 1: see how close they were to moving on, but also
Speaker 1: in certain ways to see where where there's big gains
Speaker 1: that the team could make. So I love the fact
Speaker 1: that good vibes and good energy remains a priority, and
Speaker 1: they're also taking things really seriously and they're looking themselves
Speaker 1: in the mirror about how last year went. To me,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot to like about the tone that's
Speaker 1: been set in this first week. And when I say
Speaker 1: an off day on Friday of training camp week, no
Speaker 1: media availability, but eyes go in, they shoot, they work out.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't know for certain, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: some people were there. You know, it's just if we
Speaker 1: weren't seeing it. We don't know everything that's going on
Speaker 1: on those courts, those practice courts, but from what we
Speaker 1: did see a lot of talk early and midweek about
Speaker 1: the Blue team, the second team that's been playing together,
Speaker 1: and we've heard that the White team, which is the
Speaker 1: starting group so far in camp, got them back a
Speaker 1: little bit in the most recent practice prior to us
Speaker 1: talking here on which was Saturday. But the Blue team
Speaker 1: of Shake, Milton fur Concork Masmatisse, Thyble, George Niang and
Speaker 1: Andre Drummond, the latter two of the new acquisitions to
Speaker 1: that unit, they got a lot of praise throughout the week.
Speaker 1: They got a lot of praise. Taking it to of course,
Speaker 1: the first unit, which newly has included Tyrese Maxie, alongside
Speaker 1: returning starters Seth Curry, Danny Green, Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris,
Speaker 1: and of course Doc Rivers clarified at Saturday's media that
Speaker 1: he's made no decisions on what the units actually look
Speaker 1: like and where at any we could see up of
Speaker 1: four different lineups in the preseason correct And it has
Speaker 1: though been interesting to hear that that second unit has
Speaker 1: allegedly reportedly been really taking it to the first unit,
Speaker 1: and it reminded me of something that Daryl Morey says
Speaker 1: a lot. He talks about the fact that a lot
Speaker 1: of teams have amazing stars, a lot of teams have
Speaker 1: really exciting young talent, but it's really rare to have both,
Speaker 1: and I think it's interesting to hear that even in
Speaker 1: this training camp, and Darryl describes it as the starters
Speaker 1: or the stars having young people to constantly push them,
Speaker 1: and guys waiting in the wings to take your spots
Speaker 1: and to take your minutes, and then on the flip side,
Speaker 1: stars and veterans that are able to teach those guys,
Speaker 1: those young guys how to take their minutes. And now
Speaker 1: we're seeing it in just the first week of training camp.
Speaker 1: It's been really competitive. It's been exciting for that Blue team,
Speaker 1: that second group, to really get in there, get in
Speaker 1: there early. And it's cool to also hear that like
Speaker 1: you said new acquisitions, George Niang Andre Drummond developing some
Speaker 1: early chemistry with that group, because as we can imagine,
Speaker 1: regardless of who ultimately is the first on opening night
Speaker 1: and who's in that second unit, there's going to be
Speaker 1: a lot of crossover, there's going to be a lot
Speaker 1: of experimentation in these early months and weeks, and it's
Speaker 1: cool to see that experiment a appears to be going
Speaker 1: well for that group. Sure, there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: being installed, both offensively and defensively. George Niang said at
Speaker 1: one point, training camp is training camp. There's things you
Speaker 1: have to check off the list. But the new guys
Speaker 1: said that the returners on that Blue team, Shake Maatise
Speaker 1: Firk are so easygoing that that has helped them a lot.
Speaker 1: So it was cool to see that they've already developed
Speaker 1: a really good chemistry. Yeah, and that's spot on, I
Speaker 1: think in my experience with those guys, and of course
Speaker 1: my experience is very different from the experience that they
Speaker 1: have together on the court, but it is a super
Speaker 1: laid back, not mild mannered, but like just enjoyable, like
Speaker 1: just just lovely people. And of course that has to
Speaker 1: get onto the court and become like the killer instinct
Speaker 1: group of people. But I totally understand why in the
Speaker 1: first week they're vibing really well together. It's just a
Speaker 1: good group of guys that are enjoying each other and
Speaker 1: are willing to learn. It's interesting that the two new
Speaker 1: guys are the more veteran guys of the group, and
Speaker 1: the three returners are the younger guys. And I think
Speaker 1: because the young guys are returners and the new guys
Speaker 1: are vets, there's a lot of interesting collaboration that can
Speaker 1: happen there based on the experiences that those guys can have.
Speaker 1: So it's really cool to hear that they've developed it
Speaker 1: early chemistry. When Niang said easygoing, that word that answer
Speaker 1: just really stuck out to me. When it comes to
Speaker 1: the White team and thinking about Tyrese Maxie and playing
Speaker 1: point guard, his best day was apparently Saturday Perdoc Rivers,
Speaker 1: and it was getting into the lane, finding open guys
Speaker 1: and being more aggressive offensively. So I think that's been
Speaker 1: a theme of training camp so far, is just establishing
Speaker 1: not only the sets on both ends of the floor,
Speaker 1: but also the chemistry in terms of moving the ball,
Speaker 1: passing and finding open threes. Preseason head Lawrence. I was
Speaker 1: just going to say my last thought on that first unit.
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers said on at Saturday's practice that Saturday was
Speaker 1: Tyrese's best day. It was also the first unit's best day.
Speaker 1: So I think that Tyrese obviously is going to continue
Speaker 1: to play a really large role, but as he continues
Speaker 1: to acclimate, that unit will continue to get better. To me,
Speaker 1: the first unit having a great day the same day
Speaker 1: that Tyrese had a strong day makes a lot of
Speaker 1: sense and is a promising sign still less than a
Speaker 1: week into their tenure together. Any other takeaways from camp
Speaker 1: other than your video of Seth Curry making a million
Speaker 1: threes in a row from the corner, And what was
Speaker 1: interesting about that video is that he missed He missed
Speaker 1: a few, and you could tell that he was a
Speaker 1: little bit frustrated. Of course, surrounding that video that I
Speaker 1: put out following practice on Saturday, way thanks Murphy. He
Speaker 1: was frustrated by his performance, and to me, and clearly
Speaker 1: do a lot of six Ers fans, folks that follow me,
Speaker 1: folks that follow this league, they were very impressed by
Speaker 1: what he was able to do. So bad day for
Speaker 1: Seth Curry is still a pretty darn good day for
Speaker 1: anybody else, and it was cool to watch him in
Speaker 1: his flow. I thought it was really interesting to learn
Speaker 1: that Seth, Tyrese and Shake spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: together in the off season, working out together. That sort
Speaker 1: of is a new thing, I think for this group,
Speaker 1: but not necessarily new. But of course last offseason it
Speaker 1: was a lot harder for them to get together when
Speaker 1: everybody was quarantining in their homes. But I loved hearing
Speaker 1: that the three of them worked out together in Dallas,
Speaker 1: which is a hub for them. I loved hearing about
Speaker 1: Matisse and Tobias working out together in San Diego, the
Speaker 1: two of them continuing to grow and Tobias continuing to
Speaker 1: take Matisse under his wing and teach him new things.
Speaker 1: I think it's cool that this is a group that
Speaker 1: likes each other enough that they're getting together in the
Speaker 1: off season two, and that's something that shouldn't be underestimated.
Speaker 1: It is a group that enjoys each other. They're rallying together,
Speaker 1: they're excited to have the new guys in the fold,
Speaker 1: and the veterans returning and the people who signed their
Speaker 1: new contracts. I love hearing Joel embiid and this was
Speaker 1: in my one on one interview. This was not in
Speaker 1: media availability, but talking about the way that he advised
Speaker 1: advised the guys that were free agents, so specifically talking
Speaker 1: about for Concorkmods and Danny Green, but then celebrated their return.
Speaker 1: So Joel said to firk that he wanted him to
Speaker 1: go get as much money as he could and be
Speaker 1: as successful as he could, but that he was really
Speaker 1: happy when those two goals sort of met in the middle.
Speaker 1: Because Burke of course wanted to return to the Sixers,
Speaker 1: as did Danny Green. They were both able to do it.
Speaker 1: Joel embiide happy about it. There's a lot of good
Speaker 1: a lot of good juju flowing between different groups and
Speaker 1: different relationships that to be honest, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: firk On and Joel had had a strong connection like that,
Speaker 1: and it was cool to hear about it. So continuing
Speaker 1: to hear about the developing partnerships, mentorship, mente ship going
Speaker 1: on on this team is definitely going to be something
Speaker 1: that I'm excited to continue watching. And that trio of
Speaker 1: Seth Curry, Shake Milton and Tyrese, the Dallas trio, there
Speaker 1: is some high level of competition when it comes to
Speaker 1: three point shooting after practice amongst the three of them
Speaker 1: trying to outdo one another. But I did promise the
Speaker 1: preseason schedule Monday. If for listening to this, maybe not.
Speaker 1: It might even be the day of the game if
Speaker 1: you're listening to it on time, but if you're listening
Speaker 1: to it after or that, the preseason will have kicked
Speaker 1: off with a game at Toronto on Monday the fourth,
Speaker 1: and then Thursday a home game versus Toronto, Monday October
Speaker 1: eleventh versus Brooklyn, and rounding out the preseason slate Friday,
Speaker 1: October fifteenth at Detroit with some of the things we've
Speaker 1: talked about in mind, what are some things that you're
Speaker 1: going to be looking for that fans should be looking
Speaker 1: for in the preseason because some of the veterans might
Speaker 1: not play every game, but Tyrese Maxie is probably near
Speaker 1: the top of the list for players and storylines to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about preseason for the same reason I was
Speaker 1: excited about training camp. It's interesting to see where a
Speaker 1: group starts and where they're able to get. Doc Rivers
Speaker 1: talked about being excited to see where the guys were
Speaker 1: mentally that's something that he put out on media Day,
Speaker 1: and of course he is a much closer view than
Speaker 1: we do of how the guys are doing mentally. But
Speaker 1: from our sort of a step back vantage point, it
Speaker 1: does look like they're in a strong mental space. I'm
Speaker 1: excited to see how that goes when they get to
Speaker 1: go out on the road together and spend more time
Speaker 1: together between the line you alluded to it. Doc Rivers
Speaker 1: said on Saturday that his veterans, his starters, we don't
Speaker 1: expect them to play in every preseason game. My favorite
Speaker 1: was what he said about Danny Green. He said, Danny
Speaker 1: absolutely won't play in every preseason game, maybe none. I
Speaker 1: thought that was a funny little joke to sweet Danny Green,
Speaker 1: who was always working hard, but of course has earned
Speaker 1: his stripes and has earned to maybe not participate in
Speaker 1: any serious, serious, heavy minutes in these first preseason games.
Speaker 1: And that's why preseason is so exciting. We get to
Speaker 1: see hopefully a lot more minutes for the young guys,
Speaker 1: get to see some Jaden Springer and see Paul Reid,
Speaker 1: and see guys that we're not going to see as
Speaker 1: much of during the regular season. So for me, I
Speaker 1: think it's about continuing to watch how the group grows
Speaker 1: together and how those bonds continue to flow. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to watch that second unit that we've heard a lot
Speaker 1: of good stuff about, but I've only probably seen a
Speaker 1: sum total of like three minutes of live play with
Speaker 1: that group. So excited to watch them play together. And
Speaker 1: then my just because I'm a basketball nerd and because
Speaker 1: I'm so in the trenches with this specific team, really
Speaker 1: excited to see heavy minutes for guys that we might
Speaker 1: not see play heavy minute it's in the regular season,
Speaker 1: like to see those guys get some chance to run
Speaker 1: out there and play play with their teammates. Summer league
Speaker 1: was fun, and now it's the actual roster as opposed
Speaker 1: to a summer league team that's composed of some players
Speaker 1: who are not currently with the Sixers anymore. But it
Speaker 1: will be fun to see the young guys get some
Speaker 1: extended run in the preseason, which is now upon us.
Speaker 1: And it's a normal eighty two game season again, so
Speaker 1: if Danny Green's not playing in the preseason, there's plenty
Speaker 1: of time throughout an eighty two game season to kind
Speaker 1: of find your footing, find your rhythm, and get through
Speaker 1: your routine. Early in the regular season as well. We
Speaker 1: teased it a little bit the media day one on
Speaker 1: ones from Studio seventy six here you and I talking
Speaker 1: to everybody on the roster, plus doc Rivers plus others.
Speaker 1: They were a lot of fun. They're available, like you said,
Speaker 1: on the Sixers official YouTube channel. They're also available in
Speaker 1: podcast form here on seventy six Ers Insiders, with more
Speaker 1: set to be released. But let's give some of those
Speaker 1: easter eggs or some of those moments that stood out
Speaker 1: to you the interviewer when it comes to ones that
Speaker 1: are already out with Joel Embi, Tobias Harris and help
Speaker 1: me out with Doc Rivers, Furkon corkma Andre Drummond, Danny Green.
Speaker 1: That's the group that's been released, but there's another group
Speaker 1: of interviews that's going to come out next week. I'm
Speaker 1: sure those listening can imagine what type of player might
Speaker 1: be included in that second round of releases. But yeah,
Speaker 1: really cool to sit down with the guys and have
Speaker 1: them one on one and be able to ask some
Speaker 1: deeper and more meaningful questions. My favorite question, I'm biased
Speaker 1: gives my question. So I probably sound annoying saying that,
Speaker 1: but My favorite question that I asked was advice to
Speaker 1: their younger selves, because I learned a lot and I
Speaker 1: think that these guys have a lot of young fans
Speaker 1: and it's been a hard couple of years for a
Speaker 1: lot of people Like I am never one to turn
Speaker 1: away advice at this point in twenty twenty one, so
Speaker 1: cool to hear how the guys would talk to their
Speaker 1: younger selves. And I asked the same question of Doc
Speaker 1: and Darryl Moray and Elton Brand and it was cool
Speaker 1: to hear everybody sort of reflect on their path to
Speaker 1: where they had gotten today. So that probably was my
Speaker 1: favorite stuff that we've talked about from a meaningful perspective.
Speaker 1: And then there are also some easter eggs that you
Speaker 1: guys are going to find in the podcast versions. We
Speaker 1: did superlatives with the team, got to ask some fun, light,
Speaker 1: not serious questions. The Sixers released a compilation of the
Speaker 1: guys answering who would you trust to cook for you?
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite questions. But there's a
Speaker 1: longer list that are buried in those podcasts, so definitely
Speaker 1: make sure you're checking out those seventy Sixers Insiders podcasts.
Speaker 1: More of them are to come in the next few
Speaker 1: days and weeks ahead of the season opener. What about you?
Speaker 1: What was your favorite one? Listeners might have seen that
Speaker 1: compilation of the cooking question if you want more of
Speaker 1: that type of content. Everyone that we interviewed answered those
Speaker 1: superlatives a lot of them, not just who would you
Speaker 1: want to cook for you? So that's available here on
Speaker 1: this feeds as a podcast, including with Joel embad answering
Speaker 1: more than just who would you like to or who
Speaker 1: do you think would be the best cook on the team.
Speaker 1: The other thing is I forgot to ask the fifteen
Speaker 1: year old self questions to any of the players that
Speaker 1: I interviewed, so at some point throughout the year I
Speaker 1: will have to ask advice to their younger self. For
Speaker 1: piles read Isaiah, Joe and Company. I tried to give
Speaker 1: freedom in terms of what age you spoke to With Danny.
Speaker 1: I offered Danny a chance to give advice to his
Speaker 1: rookie self. I asked Doc to give advice to his
Speaker 1: first year head coach self, Jaden If I asked Jaden
Speaker 1: to give advice to his fifteen year old semple that
Speaker 1: was only three years ago, So we tried to space
Speaker 1: it out based on the age and the place they
Speaker 1: were in their careers, and of course because we're talking
Speaker 1: about the questions that we asked. Feedback always super welcome
Speaker 1: from those of you who listen. If you're still listening,
Speaker 1: it means you're a real one. It means that you're
Speaker 1: engaged with us, and I always want to hear your feedback.
Speaker 1: So hit the dms, hit the mentions at Lauren m Rosen,
Speaker 1: at Matt Underscore Murphy. Oh four, what you guys want
Speaker 1: to hear from the guys, because that, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day is the job is making sure you
Speaker 1: guys are getting the content that you want. So I
Speaker 1: mean it when I say it. Please please send any
Speaker 1: feedback you guys have. When I talk to Shake Milton,
Speaker 1: I think something to look for listen for. There is
Speaker 1: him talking about his Kobe's and Tobias Harris also being
Speaker 1: a guy who wears Kobe's, and how their whole situation
Speaker 1: goes with which pairs Shake gets from Tobias or in
Speaker 1: some cases steals from Tobias. They have the same sized feet,
Speaker 1: That's an important thing to know. They have the same
Speaker 1: size feet and they have the same shoe preference to
Speaker 1: Bias of course, has access to maybe a couple more
Speaker 1: colorways and versions of the similar shoes that they both like.
Speaker 1: Then Shake has access to and my understanding is that
Speaker 1: Tobias has been generous with his extras up until this point.
Speaker 1: Shake did light up when I brought it up, so
Speaker 1: he was excited about it. Always love hearing that type
Speaker 1: of color. So those are in those one on ones.
Speaker 1: Definitely check them out again. YouTube sixers or right here
Speaker 1: seventy sixers Insiders, anything else more media days in the books?
Speaker 1: Training camp practices officially are. I think different teams classify
Speaker 1: training camp differently now that I've worked for multiple teams.
Speaker 1: Some teams say training camp is like a three week
Speaker 1: experience that leads up to the first game of the
Speaker 1: regular season. The way I'm thinking about it is training
Speaker 1: camp is in the books as of this morning. We're
Speaker 1: recording this on a Sunday before the first preseason game
Speaker 1: marks the beginning of the preseason, and then the regular
Speaker 1: season marks beginning of regular season. But some I guess
Speaker 1: would consider and now we're really getting into the minutia
Speaker 1: preseason as part of training camp. Take it however you'd like.
Speaker 1: They will still practice at it's just the preseason practices
Speaker 1: to me, not training right, practices right, and the preseasons here,
Speaker 1: so it is upon us. That's all I've got. It's
Speaker 1: going to be fun to cover the preseason games. We'll
Speaker 1: get right back in the flow of game previews, game recaps, podcasts,
Speaker 1: all of it. It is that time of year. So
Speaker 1: we appreciate everybody out there for following along and we're
Speaker 1: looking forward to talking to them. We are looking forward
Speaker 1: to it very much. Indeed, I am off to Toronto.
Speaker 1: I will be covering this one in person. And so
Speaker 1: if you listen to this in time but the game
Speaker 1: still hasn't happened. If you have questions or content that
Speaker 1: you're hoping to see on the road, always send it
