1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Who was the first person that you bust his ass

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: when you came back and the first person that you

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: felt like bust your ass Jesus like I'm in and

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: off the injury.

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 3: When we played Atlanta on like this year, you know

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 3: you play like a mini series, you know, we played

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: to play the two games kind of like yeah, like

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: exactly so they so Atlanta came to Brooklyn for two games.

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: In that first game, we squeaked past them like they

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: was they was up.

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna say who I bust the ass? But like, well,

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 3: who busts my ass? But like when I got I woke,

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: I woke back up to the NBA game. It's like

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: when we played them, how fast they was coming off

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: screens and picking rolls. And for me after I knew

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: that would be the toughest part to adjust to all

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: the movement in the game and coming off the screens

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: and staying with my guys. So like they was having

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: like two or three actions at once, and then Trey

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: came on screen the road and they was just throwing

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: live so and they beat us pretty good that second Gamember.

24
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, these youngest in the league is

25
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 3: getting younger too, so I was like, damn, I gotta

26
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: I gotta really lock in so I can be able

27
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: to keep up with him. I had a good I

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: had a good little series against him, but Trey really

29
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: did a did a nice little number runs that series

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: and kind of controlling the game for him. So playing

31
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: against them young dudes really got me going early in

32
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 3: the season.

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,039

Speaker 4: game back. I've been watching it on TV, and you know,

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: obviously we all saw what we saw. But tell me

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: from your perspective, like how was your your emotions and

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: your adrenaline level after being out fault this time? And

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: now you know, you got the witness the Brooklyn crowd

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 4: from the from the situation you were, but like now

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: you're getting announced to the crowd you about to play.

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: I was that for you?

53
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was you know the bubble. You know,

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 3: early on it wasn't no crowd, so it was a

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: little different. But playing the games, it's like I felt

56
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: like I had two separate seasons, you know, I had

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: to get used to fans again and then playing on

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: top of that. So like, you know, that first game,

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: it ain't it ain't feel real because it was just

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: like I spent so much time away and I forgot

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: almost what I you know, my routine before the game

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: and what I was supposed to do before the game,

63
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: because I forgot how I got prepared, you know, so

64
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: and then I had to just learn my routine again

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: and get used to it again. But that first game,

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: it hit me. But as soon as the ball get

67
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: tossed up its hoop at the end of the day,

68
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: you know, but you know, it's the whole presentation before

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: all that stuff that gets you riled up and get

70
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: you into the game. And I had to get used

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: to that part again. And then once the crowds start

72
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: to come in, you know, you started to hear the

73
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: chat on the and the you know, in the stands,

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: you start to hear the you know, especially in the road,

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: that energy just come back. And you know that was

76
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: exciting too. I didn't know how it would take that

77
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: and then step it up to the playoffs, which is

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: a whole different level again. You know what I'm saying,

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: with intensity from from the warm ups is there, you know.

00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: got some good signings this year. So I think the

161
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: games are gonna be super competitive, especially with the fans

162
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: being back, because they ain't get to catches. I think

163
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: they might have catched us with like maybe twenty fans

164
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 3: one game, but I don't think they caught the whole

165
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: series this year with fans. I may be mistaken, but

166
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: this year is gonna be packed out. You know, everybody's

167
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: gonna be going crazy in the garden. And I think

168
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: Barclays is really gonna come with it too. Well, I

169
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: know Barclay's gonna come with the two in that game.

170
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm excited about it because both teams

171
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: got an amazing future.

172
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: When when did you find out or where was you

173
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: you find out that James Harden's going?

174
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: Where was it that we had a game that day

175
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: we had it was the back to back. We were

176
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: playing the Knicks in the Garden and we had a

177
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: big win the night before, played Denver at home, and

178
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: I was like, y'all really trying to win this back

179
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: to back?

180
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: You know we get that off day.

181
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: Just feel better when when you win that back to back,

182
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: especially against the Knicks. And then the trade went through

183
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 3: I think, and half our team was gone, you know

184
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So we played that game with like,

185
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: you know, we had a couple of two way guys

186
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: that had to play some big minutes for so I

187
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: was like, I still want to win this game though,

188
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: But I was excited that James was going to be

189
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 3: coming to the team. You knew he was going to

190
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: add something different and unique, and he would love playing

191
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: in this organism, put this organization and being in New York.

192
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: So I kind of, you know, I was excited for

193
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 3: for him taking this next step, but also knew he

194
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: had a game that night too, So you know, it's

195
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: just the beauty at the league thinking happened. You know,

196
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: stuff like that can just change the whole landscape of

197
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: your organization in a matter of moments.

198
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: And that's what it was.

199
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: To see him y'all play together, coming in and him

200
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: and Rust playing in Houston. Then now he playing with you, Like,

201
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: how crazy is that? You know, to see that he

202
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: got all Man, I got a chance to play with

203
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: my own boys and one team together, and yeah, I

204
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: got the homie in Houston then.

205
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just we talked about that, just like, man,

206
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: it's crazy, guy where our careers is gone. I mean,

207
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: we learned so much together early on, and then we

208
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: all took our separate routes, and you know, we playing

209
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: together now, we're seeing things different, We're seeing the league different,

210
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: and to play together at this point in our careers,

211
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: like I said, when we experienced so much stuff, it's

212
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 3: good when you combine all of that knowledge and putting

213
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: into one to try to get that common goal, which

214
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: is to wins. You know, so with all his knowledge

215
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: that he learned his time in Houston, making deep playoff

216
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 3: runs and you know, having an incredible d visual seasons,

217
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: you know, and you know stuff.

218
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: That I did throughout my career.

219
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: Were just always trying to figure out different ways to

220
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: get better. You know, it's cool having that dialogue with

221
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: somebody that experienced the game just just as much as you,

222
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: and then you adding Kyrie who's on that same level mentally.

223
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: You know, we just always trying to figure stuff out.

224
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: And that's the fun part when you could play the

225
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: game and then thank the game with your teammates.

226
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: I'm hitting you after that trade went down, just like

227
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: really like it's crazy, crazy, Yeah.

228
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: I was to see Kyrie in person being on this team,

229
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: seeing him in a person really getting getting work, and

230
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous.

231
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: You know.

232
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: His skill, it's funny to the point where like he'll

233
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: pull off like we'll go through a play or something

234
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: and it's overweight and he'll like grab the ball and

235
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: like toss up a high touch the ceiling lay up

236
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: with his left hand and it just going so easily

237
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: and just like he just catches, just popped, just go

238
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: sit down. It's just like little stuff like that he'll

239
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: be doing. And it's just like his routines are even impressive,

240
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: you know, walking through stuff, you know what I'm saying.

241
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: So like crazy man, he just he is savant. I

242
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: mean it's like fine wine. You know, it's only getting better.

243
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: And like he mastering all aspects of basketball at that position,

244
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: like he usual even dunking this year baseline when somebody

245
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: dunking it, you know what I'm saying, that they usually

246
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: play you tell like they owned some ship, you know

247
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So like he was just doing stuff

248
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: like that, playing great defense, getting four or five steals

249
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 3: in the game. So he like mastering his craft. I'm

250
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: sure he already already mastered what he does. But as

251
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: far as like doing every single thing on the floor,

252
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: and he he we asked him to do so much

253
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: and he he does it every time. And put how

254
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: he works on this game, how he influences the young dudes,

255
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: Like that ship was impressive because nobody talk about that

256
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: with Kyle, Like he took a lot of dudes under

257
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: his wing this year. Landry shamis you know Joe Hairs

258

00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: It was fun.

316
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: It was fun because first day we had a nice practice.

317
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: We got some time practice and we were running through

318
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: plays and the dialogue was cool. You know, like this

319
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: where I want the ball so I can score. I

320
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: know when guys feel comfortable with it, like y'all want

321
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: to score it. Because when you get guys on the

322
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: team like that, the first thing you want to do

323
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: is try to come off and pass. But guys like this,

324
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: why I like the ball when I'm gonna score, And

325
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: I'm like I can roll with that. We're all willing passes.

326
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: But I want to see you dudes, you know, under

327
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: somebody that's in front of you. So Kyle and Kyle

328
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: was like, this is why I wanted. James understood, like,

329
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: all right, I'm naturally just head to the point and

330
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: I'm in my position. So it's just like we now,

331
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: it's just like, all right, man, we just need some

332
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: time to actually figure out, you know, how we're gonna

333
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: make it work in real games. So I think from

334
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: day one we understood our roles and what we need

335
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: for one another, and now it's just building a camaraderie

336
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: each day, you know, by playing.

337
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, how tough was it with the with you three

338
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: in particular, being limited with the times y'all really had

339
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: to be on the court.

340
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: It was tough. It was frustrating for sure. I mean,

341
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: that was the one thing that frustrated us.

342
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: All.

343
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: It's just like when I would come in, Kyle might

344
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: be down, and then when Kyle come back, James go down.

345
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: And then when I we all finally get back, I'm all,

346
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: I'm down for two months, you know. So it was

347
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: definitely frustrating, but we stay patient and realized that, you know,

348
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: we were in it for the long goal and then

349
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: the playoffs hit and then it happened again with James

350
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: and Kyrie.

351
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: That was that was crazy.

352
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we are I mean, it's a part of

353
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: the game, and we know that, you know, it's I mean,

354
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to say it's out of our control

355
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: because we can definitely, you know, work on what we

356
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: need to work on, but uh, some of that stuff,

357
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: you know, it just happened. So we just got to

358
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: keep our hair down, keep working, and when that time

359
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: comes to, you know, make sure we ready.

360
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: I was to see James, you know, even though he

361
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: was hurt, to you know, at least go out there

362
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: and give the effort.

363
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was inspiring.

364
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 4: You know.

365
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: It definitely ignited the crowd and gave us some extra

366
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: energy seeing him out there until they appreciate him giving

367
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: the effort. And obviously we we thought, you know, the

368
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: world of what he was doing, you know, is want

369
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: to come out there and give us an extra push.

370
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was a good idea because I

371
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: was like, man, I don't want them to get re

372
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: injured of tough. Hamstrings is tough. So everybody who know anything, yes,

373
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: especially hammis, and we all had those. So it's like

374
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: I was second guess and I was like, no, I

375
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: don't think it's the right idea, But you called me

376
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: down and been and made sure that you know that

377
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: he'll be all right. I think he'll provide, you know

378
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: what he can when you can provide. So I trusted

379
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: him and we all trusted that, and the trainers made

380
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: sure that he was he was cool, he didn't hurting anymore.

381
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: So it was definitely inspiring. I'm glad he was able

382
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 3: to get through without getting re injured.

383
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: How hard was it to keep on going in his

384
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: locker room and looking at the two guys that supposed

385
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: to be the superstar face like in the playoffs, you

386
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: wanted that, and I'm looking at job It's like, man,

387
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: y'all can't give me nothing. Just seeing how sad they was,

388
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: you know that they couldn't help.

389
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understood that it was frustrated, and you know,

390
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: it was at the worst time that could happen, and

391
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: I felt for them, but at the same time understood

392
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: that it'll be a valuable experience for the other guys

393
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: on the team that didn't playing those type of moments before.

394
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 3: You know, that's a pressure pack game. We're almost basically

395
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 3: like I mean pressure pack series almost like the championship,

396
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 3: you know, because you played against the guys that won

397
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: in the seven game series that came down to the

398
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: last shot, you know, so it was.

399
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: Like most pressure.

400
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: A lot of the younger guys played in the league,

401
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: you know, so it was good for them to get

402
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 3: that experience and had to step up a role and

403
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: do more.

404
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

405
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 3: So the toughest basketball in the world got the opportunity

406
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: to see where you are. I thought that was good

407
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: for them. But I felt for Kain, James and y'all.

408
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: I mean not only you know, y'all was down. Y'all

409
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: had signed Aldridge, he was out, and you Haddan Widie

410
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: was out like Danwillie, we had him all. He said, listen,

411
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: if it was no injuries, y'all would have won the championship,

412
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: hands down, no question.

413
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: I mean, we had a great chance.

414
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: I knew he was gonna say something differ because you've

415
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: been there, you know what I mean. Yeah, I know.

416
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 3: I mean it's easy, definitely easy to say. I mean,

417
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: I like our chances. I mean, what all of us healthy.

418
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean, shit, we lost by a basket. I mean,

419
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: had all world scores. I mean you could just add

420
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 3: the numbers up and think, you know, we could have won.

421
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: But it's much more difficult difficult than that. But I mean,

422
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: I definitely loved our chances, especially with everybody healthy, Spencer,

423
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. We had a deep team.

424
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 3: So but you know, it is what it is. We

425
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: learned from that, but move on and get better for

426
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: next year. How was it seeing Blake Griffin go from

427
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 3: not dunking it's to dunking again. Blake was like, man,

428
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: y'all things making such a big deal of me dunking,

429
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: but really, I ain't had no opportunities to dunk when

430
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: I was in Detroit. I was like, that makes more

431
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 3: sense for sure. But it was good to see him

432
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 3: play some meaningful basketball and go out there and you know,

433
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: show himself. And I mean, I don't care about everybody else,

434
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: but for me as his homie, like it was good

435
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: to show everybody else that he still hoop at that level,

436
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So he's a valuable piece

437
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: to what we do. What we're doing going forward and

438
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: going through that little run, that little mini run that

439
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 3: we had and now going into the next season, we're

440
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: getting just more and more comfortable with each other, and

441
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: I think that's gonna help.

442
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: He came right in and fit his role perfectly. And

443
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: you know people used to talk about like why he's

444
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: shooting all them, but man, he getting them joints.

445
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: Now, look at his game.

446
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Man like, that's a big key to what he be doing.

447
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: So I like, Blake Griffin, how you doing this thing

448
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: for y'all?

449
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 4: Man?

450
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 2: He came in and fit in.

451
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 4: Well, how was it for you? You know, like, obviously

452
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 4: you got to start a relationship when you were sitting out,

453
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: but how was it for you to get to play

454
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: and develop the relationship with Steve Nash as a coach?

455
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: It's fun, It's uh.

456
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: I remember a couple of first time head coaches, Billy Donovan,

457
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 3: Scottie Brooks and now Steve. And when you started to

458
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: see coaches get comfortable, that's the you know, Now that

459
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: I'm older, I'm starting to recognize little stuff now, So

460
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, you seeing Steve get more comfortable. You know,

461
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: it's just you can hear a pin drop right before film,

462
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

463
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: You can? You can?

464
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: You know his message is way more clear than it

465
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: was from day one and day sixties, just like you

466
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: know exactly what what the hell he needs needs to

467
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: be done in order for us to be successful. So

468
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 3: to see him get more comfortable as a coach and

469
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: just get used to walking the sidelines after being a

470
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: player for so long and being thrown in it so quick.

471
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like it hav a quick, high

472
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: high level.

473
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, extremely Yeah, exactly, And I feel like he handled

474
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: it great and learned just because it's much more than

475
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 3: just Xtas and those personalities. Is training staff, that's probably

476
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: that's a lot to deal with as a coach. You know,

477
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 3: you're getting told this guy can't practice, this guy can't play.

478
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: He out for a couple of weeks, and now you

479
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 3: got to adjust your team for that going forward. How

480
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: he handled that with sweet.

481
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: Especially with a guy like him because he played through anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

482
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 4: and he you know how it is now it's a

483
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: lot different. And I know that, like you said, they

484
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: had to be tough for him.

485
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he I mean, and he's one of those

486
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 3: coaches that understands the big picture. He knew that we're

487
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: a team that looking you know, we want to play

488
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: great in the regular season, but we also know that

489
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: playoffs is where we want to be playing that best basketball.

490
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: So when guys were injured, he still kept everybody locked

491
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: into the next mentality and uh to get players to

492
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 3: you know, stay on the same page with so much

493
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: disruption in the season. You know, it was impressive to

494
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: see that in the first year coach.

495
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 4: That's that's what I felt like when I would get

496
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 4: you know, doing different stuff getting interviewed and asked about

497
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 4: him being his former teammate, I always said that was

498
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 4: his special move, you know what I'm saying, Like when

499
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: he was a player like he that was what made

500
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 4: him the MVP. When you think about it, especially the

501
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 4: first year when he had me, Joe Matrix, Mario stout

502
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 4: of mind. You had a young Mario was about to

503
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 4: take over the league before he had the eye and

504
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 4: the injury and stuff. He was this point. It was

505
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 4: nobody that could do nothing with him at this point,

506
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: and it was like Tricks was already an Olympians and

507
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 4: all starting the max player and Joe was right the

508
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 4: year with so Joe like the next year he signed

509
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: with the line and went crazy. So it was like

510
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 4: to keep all those egos and it was like it

511
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 4: was seamless. He would it was he had a sixth sense.

512
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 4: Nobody had to really, he would get it before somebody

513
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: went over here. If I ain't got a shot in

514
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 4: the minute. He could sense me getting a little I

515
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 4: ain't even get cute a shot over no matter what

516
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 4: players being called. No disrespect Danton. He's not gonna like

517
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 4: disrespect you. But he had a special move with the

518
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 4: way to make sure the coach could make sure everybody

519
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: but I'm about to get him the ball. Yeah, he

520
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 4: would make things just where and I would always whenever

521
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 4: I got interviewed and asked. But I say, listen, I

522
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: don't I get it people saying abn C. You know

523
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: if anybody could step into this situation with these type

524
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: of high level you know what I'm saying, players and

525
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: the egos and the personalities to come with it. This

526
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 4: is where he thrives. You know what I'm saying. This

527
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: is his special move. Yeah I can Yeah I can't.

528
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 3: I mean you saying like like you said, when you

529
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: may not get a shot for a couple of minutes,

530
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: like you know, he can sense, you know when the

531
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: guys need like you know how I need to play here,

532
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: draw this one up coming out of the time out

533
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 3: to get Kyle from space to get him going, or

534
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: this the route we need to take. James like he

535
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: sees that and then in the time out he might

536
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: drop a play for somebody. And you know, so I've

537
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: seen that. I've seen that type of stuff just evolved,

538
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: and I think I think that adversity we hit, you know,

539
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 3: help everybody on the coaching staff and the players kind

540
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 3: of adjust.

541
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: To the season.

542
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, for that, because we had to adjust fast. It

543
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: was like a r KD out two months. I've just

544
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: played this. I just played the game before. Now I

545
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 3: am out two months. Like what we're doing at that position.

546
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: You know, it's a lot of people, you know, it's

547
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: a lot of guys that in and out outside of

548
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: me too. You know, James was in and out, Kyle

549
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: was in and out, Landry Shamon at that time. So

550
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: he had to deal with a lot and he handled it,

551
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: you know, with class. And you know it's only gonna

552
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: get better, you know, as you get more experienced and

553
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: you lock in more. And I know he's been locked

554
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: in since we lost.

555
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: One of my favorite moments from the playoffs was after

556
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: your crazy Game five and you Steve like had that

557
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 4: embrace and I got d MS after that game, like, boy,

558
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 4: you and I don't know what was going on? Boy,

559
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 4: I like, you know, I don't even hit you. I

560
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 4: just let it be. But I was like, no, I

561
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: gotta say something to night. That boy lost his mind.

562
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: But like that moment to me, you know, obviously it

563
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 4: was hell of means and funning. You know. I was like, Blu,

564
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 4: you're my boy. But it was just like to see

565
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 4: Stevie do that, it was like he didn't really have

566
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: the words.

567
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: It was just like right.

568
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 4: Now, by god, damn you boy, you just did it.

569
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 4: How Like when you look back at all of that,

570
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: because I know you obviously the world was hitting you

571
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 4: probably got a million messages like what was the craziest

572
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 4: thing that you had happened after that game where you

573
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 4: was like, Yo, this is kind of crazy though, Like

574
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 4: that was.

575
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: Man, it wasn't that. It wasn't one thing.

576
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: It really felt like, I mean, I had so many texts, bro,

577
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: so many dms, and.

578
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 4: You know, everybody was talking ship everybody. I like that.

579
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 4: That's not validation for you.

580
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 3: Because you know what that stuff like, you still hear

581
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: that stuff and you still got some you know, take

582
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: pride in what you do, you know what I'm saying.

583
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 3: So I think you know, it don't affect you to

584
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: the point where but you know you hear that, you

585
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: hear that noise. But before the game, it was just

586
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: crazier because it was just so many people.

587
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 4: Was even close.

588
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: Friends was looking at it like, yo, man, this is

589
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: really like a do or die, like you want to

590
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: really on the line.

591
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 4: I had to.

592
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: That's where my mom had a conversation right before I

593
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: got got in the car to go to the game,

594
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 3: and she was just like, you gotta dig deeper to

595
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: get something. And I was like, yo, you know every

596
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: day I was walking to this gym, like I dig

597
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 3: that dig deeper you're talking about, Like I'm always there,

598
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So it's like it's no

599
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 3: harder I can go in the rep or it's like

600
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: no much more focus, I can brains like I've been

601
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: there before. So it's like, yo, relax, I'm just gonna

602
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: go out there and whop. A lot of people just

603
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: thought like you gotta go to a different place to

604
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: get something. Now to you to go playoffs, Like man,

605
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: at the end of the day is basketball and y'all

606
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: putting the pressure on the game.

607
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, ya don't matter.

608
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 2: So like I looked at it that way.

609
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: It's like I've been in millions of these games before,

610
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So, but the chatter before

611
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: the game was even funnier than after this, Yeah, because

612
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: it's just like it took me so.

613
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 4: Craziest thing you heard before and after. I mean, they

614
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 4: had you like yo, y'all really bugging right.

615
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: Like my my, my coach that work out with every day.

616
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 3: He was just I can't say just one thing, because

617
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: everybody was just wild and non shot.

618
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: I saw it, That's what I'm saying. Like that game

619
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: after like whatever, That's what I say.

620
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 3: So much stuff to the point where I can't even

621
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: remember when I just remember just the conversation around the

622
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: whole day, you know, the whole game. I mean, it

623
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: was just like but I was just the first time

624
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: I was. I was kind of getting the same reaction

625
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 3: from like seeing it from the fans and actually people

626
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: that was closer because they were like, da, I ain't

627
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: never seen you in this position before.

628
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: I was like, yes, you have, yo, you gotta think.

629
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: Yo, I've been here before, where a couple of guys

630
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: injured and it's basically me and a bunch of younger

631
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: guys who've never been in this position before.

632
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 4: I did that in Okay.

633
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: See, I did that plenty of games when I was

634
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: with the Warriors, not playing with a couple guys that

635
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 3: was injured. So I was like, might not been at

636
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 3: that magnitude or meant that much, but I've been.

637
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 4: Physically in this in this situation before.

638
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: Like, so I'm like, yo, if y'all don't relax, and like,

639
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: you can't send me any more film, my coach, like, yo,

640
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: you need any more Like because I watched I watched

641
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: more film in the playoffs than that dude in the

642
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: regular season. So like I was watching every game, Yo,

643
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: you need some film. And what they're gonna do when

644
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: you post up, I'm like, yo, if you don't stop

645
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: texting me, stop calling me out of seen this game

646
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: five y'all to seen everything that they're gonna throw at me,

647
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: So just let me go play.

648
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: So it's safe to say that that's the difference. When

649
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 4: you in New York City, that was the sample of life.

650
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: You feel me You're saying everything you said you've been

651
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: here for. But now now you in Brooklyn, you in

Speaker 4: million cameras, all eyes on you and everything is way

654
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 4: more hyped up than it would be if you was

655
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 4: in wherever else you would be.

656
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: But like now, every radio platform it's about Big Game

Speaker 4: Like there you go.

660
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: Everybody gonna come to New York, posting the Times in

Speaker 3: ESPN New York and all of that stuff to get

662
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: their info on sports. So it's like I understood from

663
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 3: an entertainment aspect.

664
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 4: Was that one of them high peak moment before you

665
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 4: really realize like, okay, this is how it is in

666
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 4: New York, Like this is why they say this New

667
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: York yo, this New York signed this.

668
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 3: I'm always you know, I'm always scrolling you know what

669
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So I knew the second, you know, the

670
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: second that woe was dropped that tweet that I was

671
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: coming to the Nests, I knew what it was. I

672
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: knew what I was getting myself into. And then seeing

673
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 3: all those teams next teams that you was on with

674
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: all that stuff that y'all was going through and all

675
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: those teams before, I'm like, you know, New York is

676
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: one of those hot beds for controversy and drama.

677
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: And entertainment.

678
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm one of those guys that, like, I guess I

679
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: came to the New York off of controversy, if you

680
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: want to call it. So it's like, all right, I'm

681
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: gonna play that guy to a lot of people in

682
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: the media and fans. So they wanted to see what

683
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: they wanted to see. What was the next scene of

684
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: the movie? I guess that's what it felt like a movie.

685
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: Tell me how how good did it feel? Not from

686
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: a standpoint from everybody else, just from a standpoint I

687
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: know how you are a hooper and you love efficiency

688
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 4: and want to be as as efficient as perfect as possible,

689
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 4: Like that game five is like a legendary all time

690
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: playoff performance. Like you got a chance to unpack and

691
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: really look at that. How did you How did you

692
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 4: feel about that game with everything, you know, all the

693
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 4: things is going on.

694
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like my I like that approach that I

695
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: had to that game. I like how sharp I kept

696
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: all my moves, you know, I was. I felt like

697
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: I was right to the point and I didn't play

698
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: around with the ball. That team is a good defensive team,

699
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: you know, so you can't play around with the basketball.

700
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: So I felt like I was sharp. I was mentally

701
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: focused each possession. We went down eighteen early, and I

702
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: didn't I like how I just stayed patient with my

703
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: shots and not try to rush and get us back

704
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: into the game quick. So I felt like I was

705
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: in a good spot mentally, you know, going into that game.

706
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: And you know, so that's what made it special for

707
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: me is that I didn't feel like it was luck.

708
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: I knew it was like if I lock in and

709
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: do what I need to do and stay with this focus,

710
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: which is tough, that then I can have a game

711
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 3: like that. So you know, I felt like I can

712
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: duplicate that, you know, if I stay with that same mindset.

713
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 3: So it was good to get back after not playing

714
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: for so long and being in that zone.

715
00:31:59,240 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: You know.

716
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: So it was cool.

717
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 4: That's what I saw when I felt like you was

718
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 4: like you said, super lock, then laser focused Like you say, y'

719
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: I was down eighteen. The meaning was the same. It

720
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 4: wasn't you ain't really get emotional neither which way. I

721
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 4: was like, okay, And then it was like when you

722
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: all started to walk them down, I could I could

723
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 4: see it.

724
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: It was a slow walk too, it was, and you

725
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 3: could see those games turning, and I felt the confidence

726
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: building in each one of my teammates, and everybody came

727
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: through and had big shots when we needed it, you

728
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So it was one of those

729
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 3: special games that you've seen on folding. As it happened,

730
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, when we got down big, I'm like, I've

731
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 3: been here before, like being down big, and you know,

732
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: fans still cheering loud, and our team still feel like,

733
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: you know, we might be losing a little hopeing down there,

734
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: but we're still on the fence now. So we cut

735
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: it to fifteen, we slowly get back into it, and like,

736
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: you know, I felt like I've been a part of

737
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 3: a couple of those games before, so it felt it

738
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: felt a little bit more normal going into the fourth

739
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: quarter and late in the game.

740
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: You know the old saying, long game ball.

741
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: Long game, game of runs. You always say that game

742
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: of runs.

743
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 4: You know, even even though y'all came, you know, obviously

744
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: y'all fell short the very thing because you're big, tough,

745
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: but but you know, you come back off of a

746
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: crazy injury, you know, something to change people's careers, and you,

747
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, You had a crazy it

748
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 4: was on pace. I felt like to be an MVP

749
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 4: conversation before the two months out. Then you come to

750
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 4: the playoffs, you average thirty four and almost seen like

751
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, you had a how did

752
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 4: you feel coming off that? And then how did you

753
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: make a decision I'm gonna roll with the Olympic team

754
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: going straight into it.

755
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I was you know, definitely, I

756
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 3: hated that we lost that serious and I hated how

757
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: it went down. As far as injuries, it's concern, but

758
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: another part of me was kind of excited about personally

759
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: where I was going on my game, and you know,

760
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: after being off for so long, you know, so I

761
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: just wanted to play. I wanted to play more after that,

762
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: and I felt like I missed so much time throughout

763
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: the season and the injury on top of that, I

764
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 3: just wanted to play more and being an environment again

765
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 3: where it's more structure, Like I felt like I worked

766
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 3: out enough, you know, like I wanted some structure and

767
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 3: like a task to complete, you know, so I thought

768
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 3: that would be a good uh something for me to

769
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: you know, fill my summer up with. And you know,

770
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 3: then I got the opportunity to play, you know, under

771
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: the legendary coach like Pop. Then the young dudes that

772
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: was on the team that I really really enjoyed watching,

773
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 3: you know, so everything worked out, and you know, so

774
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 3: right after the series, Pop called me like, all right,

775
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 3: this is the guys that we got on the team.

776
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: And I didn't even get to tell him, like, yo, Pop,

777
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: I'm coming. He was just like, all right, this is

778
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: what we do. So I'm all right that I'm rocking,

779
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: you know. So it was cool to kind of get

780
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 3: the update on who was coming to schedule before we

781
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: was doing stuff. So I felt like I was a

782
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: part of it from day one and we grew into

783
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 3: where we were, so it was it was fun to

784
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 3: start the process.

785
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the hate people trying to

786
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: hate loss of game?

787
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was we knew. We knew that

788
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: was coming. We we just you know, we show so

789
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 3: much perfection over the last ten years from USA basketball

790
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: and not losing, and you know, well we lost twenty nineteen,

791
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: but before that, you know, when all the everybody played,

792
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 3: you know, we didn't lose and we dominated a lot,

793
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 3: so that was in people's minds a lot. So you know,

794
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 3: we knew these teams are well coached and understand the

795
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 3: game a little bit more, you know, so it's gonna

796
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 3: be and it's always hard putting great players on one

797
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: team and trying to fit everybody into a role.

798
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 2: So we knew it was gonna take some time.

799
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 3: And we were missing guys to start camp, and you know,

800
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: so we was going every which way and we're still

801
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: trying to figure each other out. So we was gonna

802
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: struggle a bit, and we did that even up to

803
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: the first game. And then we we we had a

804
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: little meeting as a group, which is the first time

805
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: that happened t in USA, a team meeting, you know.

806
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 3: But it was good for us to establish what we

807
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 3: wanted to do out there, and guys stepped up and

808
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 3: volunteered to, you know, play certain roles and they helped

809
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: us going forward. And it was a special experience.

810
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 4: What was the team needing like, like you said, it's

811
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 4: the first one in us, Like who who's standing up

812
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 4: and saying what everybody?

813
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 3: Everybody talking about what we need to do in order

814
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: for this to work. And it mainly just like we

815
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: need each and every one of y'all to be yourselves,

816
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: Like we can't come in here and try to fit

817
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 3: in around each other and not step on toes or

818
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: fear that we may be shooting too much or right.

819
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 3: So everybody just vowed to be aggressive when they out there,

820
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 3: play as hard as they can on both ends of

821
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 3: the floor, and just to hear one another say that

822
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 3: it was good to know. Yeah, just just to get

823
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 3: that out loud, and that's what good teams do, great

824
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: teams do, and you know, so, you know it was.

825
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: It was perfect for us. You know, we had a

826
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: great mix of older guys and younger guys and you know,

827
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 3: so it was.

828
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 4: It was fun.

829
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: Did it being secluded help you out a little bit more?

830
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Because I didn't have nobody, but y'all.

831
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had that. We had the women's team. We

832
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 3: chilled with them every day, which was dope. They was

833
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: fun to be around, So, you know, it was. We

834
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: spent three and a half weeks, three weeks in the hotel,

835
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: just from hotel to the gym every day in one

Speaker 4: like from the women's side, that you didn't know that.

842
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: You gotta be cool with that. You didn't expect you

843
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,040

Speaker 3: ceremonies and like I think the swimming team it was

852
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: somebody's birthday that day, and they just went off and

853
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: was like happy birthday. It was only like ten of them,

854
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: and we just all turned around and I turned around

855
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 3: literally like five seconds later. Draymond like starting to chant

856
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 3: it's probably at least, I want to say, like at

857
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 3: least two hundred people right there, and we was all

858
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 3: packed in a little hallway. I'm sitting around like, nah,

859
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: this can't be for me. I look at Draymond, he

860
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: pointing at me. I was like ya, y'all got it,

861
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 3: And then they hit the hit viral just fast. It

862
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: was funny though, but it was somebody real birthday right

863
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 3: before that too, So they kind of got everybody going to.

864
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: Win the gold medal and people talking ship from the

865
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: beginning and then to kind of throw that back in

866
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: their face, like, yeah, we still running ship. Yeah how

867
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: was that? How was the champagne on that goal?

868
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 4: Man?

869
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 3: I mean it was it was fun to I mean,

870
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 3: we knew that we had the most talent there. We

871
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 3: had to you know, twelve NBA players residues. Teams had

872
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: two or three at the most, you know, so you

873
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: look down the line, we had more talent. But as

874
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 3: far as coming together as a team and figuring out

875
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: how we wanted to play, I think that was the

876
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 3: journey for us. That's more the celebration for us that

877
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: we figured that part out. You know what I'm saying,

878
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 3: whatever comes with it, throwing it back into your face

879
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 3: or you know, I told you so, Like we ain't

880
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 3: really think about that. It was like, Yo, we really

881
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 3: came through and sacrificed to one another and made big

882
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: shots and really experienced something new. A lot of these

883
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: guys like exactly, he was like, Yo, this is the

884
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: first time I won four games in a row since

885
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: I was just like, damn, I had to think about that.

886
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: For a second. I was like, when you go win

887
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 3: a gold metal, like you haven't won nothing in a while,

888
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 3: like that means a lot. So a lot of guys

889
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 3: went and won something real for the first time, like

890
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: something significant, you know what I'm saying. So that was

891
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: more so that was really what our Champagne toast was.

892
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 3: But you know, to throw it back, people faces who

893
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: doubted us deep in their minds, they feel a little,

894
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 3: they feel dumb for doing that.

895
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: To see guys like Zach Levine and Jason Tatum now

896
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: like that next generation beat part of it and see that.

897
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 4: How is that to just you.

898
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: Know, watch the guys up on you and see like

899
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: when you got some boys coming through there.

900
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, y'all s yeah, I mean I

901
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 3: get what y'all trying to say, Like the world is

902
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: catching up to.

903
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 4: What we're doing. You know, I get it.

904
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 3: You know the they might got three four NBA players

905
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: that that's nice, but we got twelve that's nice in

906
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 3: our top four. It's like Jason Tatum's imagine him four

907
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: years from now, three years from now, eight years from now,

908
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: when he thirty something and he about to break the

909
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: scoring record and get another go you know what I'm saying.

910
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 3: So I'm looking at these guys, I'm like, it's gonna

911
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 3: be a problem. And then you see the guys who

912
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: didn't come. That's Young, the jab morons, Zachre Young, I'm

913
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: forgetting so many other guys. You know, say it's a

914
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: whole crop. It's a whole crop coming. So it's just like, man,

915
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 3: just see the talent that we got. The journey is

916
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: always going to be. It's been.

917
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 4: That's really what it is.

918
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 3: The team and say, how are you gonna come together

919
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 3: and fit yourself into this group to win as as

920
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 3: a group.

921
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 4: You know, where were you when Draymond had to assist

922
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,839

956
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 4: how you hit you out this series and you in

957
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 4: How laughable is it for y'all to see stories like, oh,

958
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 4: they don't like Pop and this that, and then like

959
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 4: everything you see, like we as players know how it is.

960
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 4: And we see the Instagram videos and him dancing with

961
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 4: the Converse song and how the Conrader, Like you know

962
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 4: that this ain't fake. As a player, we know this.

963
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 4: This is so how laughable is that for y'all to

964
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 4: hear and you you already spoke without anybody asking about

965
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: his greatness and what he's done and who he is

966
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 4: to the game, and you know, just just speak on

967
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 4: Pop a bit.

968
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean some days you don't like Pop. I

969
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 3: mean I think that's a part of his whole thing.

970
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. He gonna push you to

971
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 3: the edge. And he said that from day one. He's like, Yo,

972
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 3: these practices and film sessions and all of this is

973
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough. I'm gonna be on. It's not

974
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: gonna be like He's just gonna roll the balls out.

975
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 3: So it's like he's like, so when when you when

976
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 3: you figure it out finished, it's gonna be worth it

977
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 3: even more, you know what I'm saying. So we understood that.

978
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 3: So those days we didn't like him, but we understand

979
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 3: We knew that he wanted to just win, you know

980
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So we respected that and he pushed

981
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: us and we got better. You know, guys individually got

982
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 3: better and understood the game a little bit different in

983
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: a different lights, especially playing it with the euro League

984
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 3: and the yuro rules too, So you know, it was fun.

985
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 4: Tell me about my boy. My boy, he don't get

986
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 4: a lot of credit in the league, but it's one

987
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 4: of my favorite players, me and my partner Rio this.

988
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 4: When I face man, I won't talk about Patty meals.

989
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 4: Tell me about how tough these I mean, y'all, just

990
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 4: you know, take but like I'm talking about Olympic different.

991
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 4: Just talk about how he go crazy, Like how special

992
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 4: young Patty Mills he like he it's like he got faster.

993
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: Fast.

994
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: It's like when we put that Australian team jersey on,

995
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 2: He's just getting faster and he a little bit more

996
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 2: shifty now, like he handled a little bit more hands up,

997
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 2: like with the hazios and twiny legs step back, like

998
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: he just get more freedom out there when he played

999
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: with the national team, and that was one of the

1000
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 2: things that you know, he wanted to He just want

1001
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: to have a little bit more freedom and play a

1002
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 2: little bit more of a you know, open style game.

1003
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 3: You know, so come to our team. That's what we

1004
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 3: like to do, is get on transition, you know, play

1005
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: with you know, we don't like to play with too

1006
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 3: much structure, but like still play a good team game,

1007
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: you know. So hopefully you know, he fit right in

1008
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 3: and be able to do his thing and kind of

1009
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 3: the same way that he did it with you know,

1010
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 3: his national team.

1011
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: But he just was He's a master. He had like

1012
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 2: forty that last time.

1013
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 4: Listen looking at that just some of the international players

1014
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: in general, do you feel like when they get with

1015
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 4: their national team, get Evan h Luca kind of is

1016
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 4: Luca Luca everywhere? Cz like, you know, like Rudy Gobell

1017
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 4: was a whole different type of animal. Like, Like, do

1018
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 4: you feel like when guys get with the national teams

1019
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 4: they just be way more confident, They feel like superiority

1020
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 4: over the rest of the players and ownership is in

1021
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 4: the leader role or something.

1022
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I said, it's only a couple of guys

1023
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 3: in the NBA from these teams and the rest of

1024
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 3: the guys are mixed in from guys that maybe play

1025
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: overseas or guys that may be in and out the league,

1026
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 3: but they looked at as the leaders on their teams.

1027
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 3: You know, usually the first and second options, you know,

1028
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: so the whole offense go through these guys. So you

1029
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 3: take on a different role game, more responsibility, you know.

1030
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 3: And you know, these guys are naturally talented anyway, so

1031
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 3: that's the reason why they play big minutes in the league.

1032
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: So you come over there and give them to give

1033
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 3: them the rock and tell them to go just play.

1034
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 3: You see what Evan Foygnier was doing, Patty was doing.

1035
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: I was impressed with mattis stable.

1036
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 4: Yo.

1037
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: He was coming down shooting, pull up threes and shoot

1038
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 2: like from there.

1039
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 3: And then and you know, in the regular season, you know,

1040
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 3: people who you know don't play his jumper as much,

1041
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: but he was got better and he got more confident

1042
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 3: playing with the national team, you know, so you you know,

1043
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 3: always he lacks. And then then the defensive game over there,

1044
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: everybody you could sit in the paint now, so you're

1045
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 3: getting a little bit more creative defensively, so you're learning,

1046
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 3: you learning some aspects of the game that you can

1047
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 3: take back to the league. And these guys are getting

1048
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 3: the ball all game, playing forty minutes. You know, so

1049
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 3: when you get the rock out like that as always fun.

1050
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: Is the game more physical in the Olympic games than

1051
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: this NBA game?

1052
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 3: It's certain parts you can't be We a little bit

1053
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 3: more hands in the league. We can get away, maybe

1054
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 3: a little swipe down, get it, still use our hands

1055
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 3: to get it steal. But it felt like you use

1056
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 3: your hands over in a eurow. It's an instant foul.

1057
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: But you can body up a little. But if you play,

1058
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: you don't play with your hands, which is cool. I

1059
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 3: mean you get taught to be in position and yes,

1060
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 3: but using your hands you're prone to get you know,

1061
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 3: a lot of files, so they teach they strict on

1062
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 3: that and the defense of three. You know, it was

1063
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 3: just difference. But outside of that, I mean, you know

1064
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: it's pretty much the same. But if you learn how

1065
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 3: to use your body instead of your hands, then you

1066
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 3: know it's not bad.

1067
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 4: How dope is it to a game B? You know

1068
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 4: the cover athlete of two K. You know what I'm saying.

1069
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 4: We talked about two K twenty two. You know, me

1070
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 4: and KD do this.

1071
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 2: We really out here's the level.

1072
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 4: Come see us we're fishing with this, Like, just just

Speaker 4: tell me how was that to you know know, you

1074
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, something that you really do regardless

1075
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 4: of you was gonna be involved with it all. Would

1076
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 4: like to really be featured and be involved in How

1077
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 4: is that for you? You know, we gaming, like I

1078
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 4: see the real play, I'm getting inspiration over there in

1079
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 4: the in the in the song, I say, now, I

1080
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 4: know I'm gonna know what it's looking like when you

1081
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 4: when you out here locking what's going on.

1082
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 2: Now?

1083
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 4: So like just talk about that because it's definitely listening world.

1084
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 4: It's it's it's a one all right. I'm gonna just

1085
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 4: say that.

1086
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you get it now. So that's how important

1087
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 3: it is, you know what I'm saying. So to be

1088
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,080

00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1127
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: She was direct with it too, and I ain't blunt

1128
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 3: with it and on the spot, you know what I'm saying.

1129
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 4: That kind of.

1130
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 3: That guided me into a way and I had to

1131
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: watch myself around the house, you know what I'm saying.

1132
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 3: I had to be on point, you know. So I

1133
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 3: felt like I had to be focused in the house

1134
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 3: and even more focused when I left, you know.

1135
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 2: So I didn't.

1136
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 3: Realize at the time, but it was just grooming me

1137
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 3: to be locked in on something that I love. So

1138
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,720
Speaker 3: my mom was just showing me stuff, teaching me lessons

1139
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 3: like that every day without with just her movements and

1140
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 3: her actions, you know. So I could just think back

1141
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: of being in the room, just chilling, thinking back to

1142
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 3: this up that I've seen her do and that I

1143
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 3: do now, you know what I'm saying. So, and we

1144
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 3: got a relationship now that we can sit and talk

1145
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 3: about literally anything and it's fun. You know, it's not

1146
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 3: like she talking down on me having conversation as grown ups,

1147
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 3: human beings about different perspectives. You know, she valued minds.

1148
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 3: You know when you got to when I got to

1149
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 3: that point with my moms, I was just like, this

1150
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 3: is what this is a sweet spot, you know what

1151
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So I love I love how relationship grown.

1152
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 3: I love how invested she.

1153
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 4: Is in the game.

1154
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 3: You know the game so well now just watching you know,

1155
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 3: for this last decade, you know what I'm saying. So

1156
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 3: it's cool to see that. And you know she mentoring

1157
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: other moms and she's just doing her thing.

1158
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: You laugh at that clip of her Pj's.

1159
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 4: Like, I love you too.

1160
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: It's just so funny because she getting so mad to

1161
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 2: the point I'm like, I gotta tell her, like after

1162
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: the season, I'm like, you cannot be getting this man

1163
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: at this basketball game.

1164
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 3: It's to the point where a rep got looked back

1165
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 3: at you and talk to you. You can't be doing that.

1166
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 3: And she just be like, what you know, they be

1167
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 3: cheaping relet you know what I'm saying. But she's still

1168
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 3: just like she treated like her son that was ten

1169
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 3: years old going out there to hoop man. She got

1170
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 3: that kid like joy, just like I try to approach

1171
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 3: you with. I love seeing that every time I come

1172
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: out and see her over there. It's just it's like nostalgia.

1173
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 3: Bring me back to when I was young.

1174
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 4: For the common fan that don't understand to talk about

1175
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 4: how it is when you could be out there like

1176
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 4: PJ your brother, which you could be out there ready

1177
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 4: to go to blows with him and then you know

1178
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 4: it's still all love. Just talk about their relationship like

1179
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 4: he said, you know, she said, you go, y'all going,

1180
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 4: She said, I still love because she knows it's all

1181
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 4: love even though y'all competing. But just because we were

1182
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:50,760
Speaker 4: like that, we would.

1183
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: Daddy get mad about beating.

1184
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 3: He won't put that elbow, try to put that.

1185
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 4: It just sucked him up too aggressive. He was eighty five,

1186
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 4: so he tried off top and he started doing that bull.

1187
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 4: I'm gona hand lean on it. Don't work with me

1188
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 4: about talking relationship and how you know what I'm saying,

1189
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 4: y'all could be added, but it's gonna always be all love. Yeah.

1190
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 3: I just take it back to when I was a

1191
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 3: freshman at Texas and PJ had just got drafted and

1192
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 3: like he was like we instantly clicked since there he

1193
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 3: was like, you know, my brother then, and you know,

1194
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 3: always been there to be a you know, to give advice,

1195
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 3: just to be there to hang out talk to, you know.

1196
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: So I remember the first day we played pick up

1197
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 3: against each other. I was coming down really dotting him

1198
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 3: up from deep I'm talking him because he didn't realized

1199
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 3: I can shoot. So he was playing with his hands

1200
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 3: down behind the three point lines and I made like

1201
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 3: three in a row, and Rick Barnes was just in

1202
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 3: there and just like egging me on and egging him on,

1203
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: and then he amped up the physical and it was

1204
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 3: tough for me to move, you know what I'm saying.

1205
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 3: So I'm like, all right, this is the strongest guy

1206
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 3: that played against thus far in my life.

1207
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: So if I can kind of work through that, then

1208
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: I'd be all right.

1209
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 3: And then, you know, so each matchup has been like

1210
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 3: that from day one, and I feel and I love

1211
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 3: it because we we came up through like the same

1212
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 3: in the same college, being coached by the same guys,

1213
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 3: and we built this relationship like that. And his career

1214
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 3: is gone a lot of different ways, and you know,

1215
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 3: to see him playing high level basketball, start and winning

1216
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 3: championship and playing on mean and meaningful games.

1217
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 4: It's fun to see.

1218
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fun to see the guys that I kind

1219
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: of came into this game, which kind of see him

1220
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 3: grow that way, all of us still here doing it.

1221
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 4: It's sweet successful. Yeah.

1222
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 3: You know, then my moms know how the whole story

1223
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 3: goes between me and P two. So it's just like,

1224
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 3: like I said, bring you back to when your homeboys

1225
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 3: and your mom and you know, your family talking a

1226
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 3: little trash on the sideline, but it's all love at

1227
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 3: the end of the day because we know what it is.

1228
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: That was such a to me. That was such a

1229
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: beautiful moment because like we understand that mom staying the

1230
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: fire and your mama.

1231
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 4: And at the same time, I love SEO. We grew

1232
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 4: up like this since elementary school. Said.

1233
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: Seeing on that stage, that was just dope to catch that.

1234
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 3: I love it because the game of basketball brings out

1235
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 3: that competitive nature and everybody. But it's still love at

1236
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 3: the end of the day, because it's a game, you know,

1237
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 3: so even the fans can get into it that way,

1238
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 3: but at the end of the day, it's all about

1239
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 3: respect and people respect how PJ played me that series

1240

1354
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 3: a deep conversation you know, amazon all we always talking

1355
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 3: about you know, you know something, you know what I'm saying,

1356
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 3: just passionate, curious, you know, and we're both curious. So

1357
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 3: it was it was good to get that on camera. Mean,

1358
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 3: Dre always been one of those guys that's a he's

1359
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 3: a deep individual, intellectual and really understands things on a

1360
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 3: different level, you know, and and and you know, so

1361
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 3: for people to see that too, and you know, a

1362
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of basketball fans thought it was

1363
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 3: so much tension, you know. And I don't even call

1364
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 3: it beef like whatever they want to call it now

1365
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 3: in the NBA world, like whatever that is. It was

1366
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 3: a lot of that in you know, amongst NBA fans.

1367
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 3: So to kind of get that little stuff out the way,

1368
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 3: and I actually talked about some some cool topics, was

1369
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 3: was fresh.

1370
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was dope because y'all gave a player's

1371
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: perspective when they always just just say that the the

1372
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 1: organization is always right, or the organization gett fumbled the ball.

1373
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: So when when the players tell him, like Na, this

1374
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: is what happened. You never get the players speaking on

1375
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: a situation that happens. I feel like that's dope. Not

1376
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 1: only for everybody. Now they get platforms to say that.

1377
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: One got to use the regular media you put that out,

1378
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: I think, and I think the media, the none basketball media,

1379
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: the numb people who's not player, they didn't understand what

1380
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: y'all was saying.

1381
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, when.

1382
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Y'all was saying, y'all perspective like, yeah, they fumbled the ball.

1383
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 4: The organization can fuck up sometimes too.

1384
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you usually, I mean back in y'all

1385
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 3: when y'all came into the league, you usually got those

1386
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 3: stories out through beat writers and people that were close

1387
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 3: to the team, meaning they got the team's best interest

1388
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 3: at the end of the.

1389
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 4: Day, whatever the organization said, that's what happened.

1390
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so to keep that relationship, they got

1391
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 3: to do its best for the team. So nowadays with

1392
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 3: the social media boom and just the media boom in general,

1393
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 3: like now we get platforms to kind of talk on

1394
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 3: our own and get our own perspectives. It's good to

1395
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 3: get both sides because I'm sure, yeah, you're gonna hear

1396
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 3: from the organization side somehow, some way through somebody, and

1397
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 3: now you know, kind of to get both sides, you

1398
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 3: understand're starting to understand the league a little bit more

1399
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 3: as a fan, So it was good.

1400
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 2: It's good to do that. It's good to every players

1401
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 2: out here utilizing that.

1402
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: I would say, like people don't understand that us as

1403
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: ball players were all a bunch of alphas in the

1404
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: room together, Like sometimes.

1405
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 4: It'd be tension there.

1406
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: We all come from different situations that we was alpha

1407
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: us coming to it.

1408
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 4: They don't understand all the alpha.

1409
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Wards around each other and it just be that and

1410
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: we just need somebody to keep it, you know what

1411
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

1412
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 4: Together.

1413
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the journey in the league's millions and

1414
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 3: millions upon us. Let's trying to get to these full

1415
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty spots each year, you know what

1416
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And each year would you get like thirty

1417
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 3: new slots and for young dudes, I mean sixty new slots?

1418
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 3: You know, so you know, everybody was the guy at

1419
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 3: some point, you know, so you and the journey is

1420
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 3: that how can you fit everybody together and understand what

1421
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 3: each person does and how they're gonna bring something to

1422
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 3: a team. You've seen so many great teams that didn't

1423
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 3: come together and like they were supposed to on paper,

1424
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 3: and you've seen so many great bad teams on paper

1425
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 3: come together and one will you know what I'm saying,

1426
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 3: because they held some camaraderie.

1427
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's and that's what happens.

1428
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get you guys on the team, Draymond myself,

1429
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 3: You're gonna get into.

1430
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 5: It, you know.

1431
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm just like, we're going Andre Gudala, gonna get into

1432
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 3: it with you know, you know, Draymond or Clay or

1433
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 3: you know. So it's just part of the game. It's

1434
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 3: part of being on the team. Would do for six

1435
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 3: seven months out the year, you know.

1436
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 4: I feel like when you look at like the history

1437
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 4: of the game, I feel like you one of the

1438
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 4: most interchangeable, versatile players to ever play, like you know

1439
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like, I feel like it doesn't matter

1440
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 4: what type of team you played with, that you could

1441
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 4: fit in in any system like you can. You can,

1442
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like you can play multiple positions,

1443
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, facilitate, score, defend, do different things,

1444
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 4: just ask stuff. I think you showed that on the

1445
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 4: national level on the you know, the Olympics and being

1446
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 4: obviously playing with different teams. What is your take on

1447
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 4: that and just saying, how like you feel like you

1448
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 4: can fit in with any type of team.

1449
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I've always wanted to be able to

1450
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 3: do to be in any situation, especially scoring the basketball.

1451
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 3: I think that was the first level for me, is

1452
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 3: learning how to score in different ways, transition, coming up

1453
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 3: and down, pick and roll game. Once I got to

1454
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 3: the league isolation game and you know, all of that stuff,

1455
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 3: I felt like I had to master that first. And

1456
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 3: then once I you know, understood that, and learning how

1457
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 3: to incorporate everybody on the floor to it into what

1458
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 3: I was doing as well. And uh, you know, so

1459
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 3: those are the hurdles I had to jump and and

1460
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 3: stuff I had to learn throughout my time. And I

1461
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 3: always wanted to be a guy that can play in

1462
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 3: you know, a monthst with anyone on any stage, you know,

1463
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 3: pick up to the league, you know, so I had

1464
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 3: to round out my game mentally and physically. So yeah,

1465
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 3: I could I could confidently say that, you know, I

1466
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 3: feel like I can metch well in any system with

1467
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 3: any player. I can figure out how to make it work.

1468
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: To see guys like Dame and Devin Booker and Drew

1469
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: Holliday and Middleton, to see them guys work. How was

1470
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: that to see them guys work and see them up.

1471
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 3: From first It was interesting to see everybody of their

1472
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 3: routines and how they prepare for games. And that's one

1473
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 3: of those things. I mean, you are on great players.

1474
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 3: You want to see how they move and see what

1475
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 3: makes them great. And you've seen a lot of it

1476
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 3: every day, you know. I mean, you know, I feel

1477
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 3: like each player reached the point in their careers they

1478
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 3: know exactly what they need to do to be successful

1479
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 3: out there, and they stick with it, you know, from

1480
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 3: post practice routines to you know, pre game routines. I

1481
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 3: seen a lot of guys just stick with it and

1482
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 3: keep that grind. And you know, when you when you

1483
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 3: figure out your routine, that's the most that's the easy part.

1484
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 3: You know, you can do something like that every day

1485
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 3: and know that you can produce good results. You know,

1486
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 3: that's when you start getting better. You see it with

1487
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 3: guys that been in the lead for a little bit.

1488
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 4: Did anybody do anything it like stood out to you

1489
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,439
Speaker 4: or impressed you, like any of those guys you're talking

1490
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 4: about in their routines and the way they went about

1491
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 4: their work and their preparation.

1492
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was impressed. By everybody, but Bam not. The

1493
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 3: Bible stood out to me the most because I had

1494
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 3: I had expectations for him because he talked a lot

1495
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 3: of ship in a good way, like he like a

1496
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 3: brother that you know, he talked that, he talked ship.

1497
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 3: So every time I see him, always challenging him to

1498
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 3: do something. And uh, you know, so he worked. He

1499
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 3: worked on his game tirelessly. You know, he's in the

1500
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 3: mid range. He's working on his handle, working on his

1501
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 3: post moves, and you know, to see him, you know,

1502
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 3: super focused on what he wants to do out there

1503
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 3: and just talking to him and listening to what he

1504
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 3: wants to do out on the floor, you know he's focused.

1505
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: And you know, his work ethics stood out.

1506
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 3: You know, being in Miami playing for some vests, playing

1507
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 3: under some vests like D Wade and U D you

1508
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 3: could tell they talk, you know, they led by example.

1509
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 2: They led well out there. So he picked up some

1510
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 2: good trades for some good vets.

1511
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 4: We just with our young boy, young Tatum the other day,

1512
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 4: and just tell me how that was. You know, even

1513
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 4: though y'all gave him a gentleman sweep got him up

1514
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 4: out of there with but young and he was putting

1515
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 4: it down, you know what I'm saying, where he was

1516
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 4: like kind of serving. Notice did he come and just

1517
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 4: just tell me about how it was battling with him?

1518
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 4: And then you played on the USA team with him

1519
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,719
Speaker 4: as well. Just talk about young Jay Tatum.

1520
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,799
Speaker 3: Man, he's a problem man. He's an amazing shot maker.

1521
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's one thing that really stood out when

1522
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 3: we played him, the length on his on his jumpers

1523
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,879
Speaker 3: is it's tough to get a contest or good contests,

1524
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 3: and then to handle with it and his creativity with it,

1525
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 3: it was impressive. You know, he's just a couple of moves.

1526
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 3: You know, he showed you a step back has he

1527
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 3: then he'll cross it over again to a pull up

1528
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 3: mid range just like he got a lot of tools

1529
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 3: in his bag. And at that age, you know, it's

1530
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 3: rare to see that. Yeah, I mean, and it's only

1531
01:08:54,960 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 3: getting more mature, stronger physically. Also playing with him in

1532
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 3: Team USA, you know, he had to come off the bench,

1533
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 3: so you learning a different aspect of the game, learning

1534
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 3: how to approach the game differently. So and I seen him,

1535
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 3: you know, get better in that role and it was

1536
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 3: still like, yeah, twenty seven off the bench, right, twenty

1537
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 3: one off the bench, and just like you know, you know,

1538
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 3: you figure out how to still get yours off in

1539
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 3: any situation. That's when you become dangerous. And I could

1540
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 3: just see him growing, and you know she's gonna be

1541
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 3: a problem for some years, you know, So you got

1542
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,759
Speaker 3: to buckle up when you're playing against them. But it's

1543
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 3: a fun challenge because he just he enjoys playing.

01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 4: when you just like you said, his skill level, the

1555
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 4: progressions he's doing do have many makes of this and

1556
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 4: then he's just going after he ain't nobody training with him.

Speaker 4: watching him like okay, like, okay, you're serious with this.

1560
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 2: He's uh, I ain't learning how to pass that thing.

1561
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 3: Like he make plays, like he got a score for

1562
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 3: that team, Like last year he had a score with

1563
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff they was had going on with

1564
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 3: their team, you know, guys in off the line up.

1565
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 3: But he really can you know, come off the ball

1566
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 3: and make the right play. You know, he played on

1567
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 3: some good teams his whole life basically, so he know

1568
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 3: how to play a role other than just you know,

1569
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 3: I got to get a bucket, so you know, it's

1570
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 3: a special player. Man.

Speaker 4: It was good.

1572
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 3: It was fun playing with him, getting to know him

01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,600
Speaker 3: a little bit deeper too. You said, you always scrolling.

1574

1576
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 3: and like you like I see a lot of times

1577
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 3: it doesn't necessarily have to be you know, a blue

1578
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 3: check or a very fat person, like if you just

1579
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 3: like you said, like to me, in my opinion, you

1580
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 3: do what they would generally say they want from the players,

1581
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 3: because everybody wants all access and oh you don't need

1582
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 3: to talk to talk to the famous people like you,

1583
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 3: You'll talk to whoever. If somebody say something that partial interest,

1584
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 3: you will just respond to whomever. Like, So, how do

01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 3: like whatever, I'm gonna just you know, I might have

1587
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 3: a burner account of or I'm gonna come for my

01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 3: real account to just say whatever I will say. And

1589
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm always cause like the thing I learned about you

1590
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 3: just you know, we go back and forth a lot

1591
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 3: on DM and the thing I tell you, I say, boy,

1592
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,200

Speaker 4: back and forth that, So how did you get to

1596
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 4: be that person that you don't really miss nothing? Now

1597
01:11:58,240 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 4: you ain't afraid to say something.

01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 4: Now? You know what I mean?

1617
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 3: So and a lot of a lot of times they

1618
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 3: want they got conversation about me. So I just be

1619
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 3: poking in here and there, get my little insight. Leave y'all,

1620
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 3: keep the conversation going. But I'm still playing attention and

1621
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 3: when I want to poke out, I'm gonna do it.

1622
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 3: And I think the fans who watching this, this whole show, right,

1623
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 3: this show, this whole show, they think it's funny and

1624
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 3: I like making them laugh sometimes.

1625
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,600
Speaker 4: So speaking of that, because that's how I feel like,

1626
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 4: because I feel like a lot of the fans take

1627
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 4: it way more serious than you do. I feel like

1628
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 4: you have like he's cracking up right now, But I

1629
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 4: feel like they feel like it's a nine one one.

1630
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 4: They taking it so serious, and it's like, man, I

1631
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 4: know for a fact he's sitting back cracking up.

1632
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 2: I'll be cracking up because the truth be so funny.

1633
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 4: And it's like, y'all, I don't want to say y'all,

1634
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 4: I do I should say, because they don't get it

1635
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:37,719
Speaker 4: because they not. They think that because we NBA players,

1636
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 4: well I'm we formed, but they think because you're an

1637
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 4: NBA player or whatever celebrity or whatever, that you're different.

1638
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 4: Me the same bro. People jumps on one leg at

1639
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 4: the time, just like me. Right, yeah, exactly.

1640
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 3: So it's like, but the funny thing is what I

1641
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 3: kind of learned is like it's really interesting as from

1642
01:13:56,120 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 3: a fan perspective, learning and in the workings of like organization,

1643
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 3: what goes on behind the scenes, because all they see

1644
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 3: is the game the game before. Now they're getting to

1645
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 3: see the little conversations that may go on in the

1646
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 3: locker room and they seeing they get more insight from

1647
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 3: the front office. They might get a little day in

1648
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 3: the life video with the team, you know, so they're like,

1649
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,560
Speaker 3: oh shit, like I'm more involved with the team.

1650
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 4: So know what's going on.

1651
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 3: So now these conversations that they have and can you know,

1652
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 3: people take them a little bit more personal than they

1653
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 3: would before because they feel way more invested knowing on

1654
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 3: having all this knowledge of what goes on outside of

1655
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 3: the game. So it's like they take it way more

1656
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 3: serious and projecting their feelings on to me, when I'm

1657
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 3: just like, yo, when you know, like we know what

1658
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 3: goes on in the league, it's not as glamorous and

1659
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 3: it's not as controversial as people think. So it's like

1660
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 3: we sit back and be like, yo, you really got this,

1661
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 3: you really got this. You're really hyping this faptist story.

1662
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 4: Nobody talking to nobody.

1663
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 3: It's not really going on like that. So to me,

1664
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 3: it's funny. To us, it's funny who really been in it?

1665
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 3: But it's like to them, they ain't been, and then

1666
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 3: every day like we haven't, cause it's so they don't

1667
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 3: really they don't really get it. So to see, you know,

1668
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 3: people get so serious that shit do be funny to me.

1669
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 4: That was the one thing that stood after me about

1670
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 4: my time in New York. That was the first first cause,

1671
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 4: like you know, when I play in LA it's a

1672
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 4: huge media Marke. We were the Clipper, so it wasn't

1673
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 4: so much about that, and we were there doing the

1674
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 4: three Peet of the Lakers. So we were really in

1675
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 4: the corner section, you know what I'm saying, and like

1676
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 4: we carved that our clip renation, but like it just

1677
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 4: wasn't like that. So going to Phoenix, it was like

1678
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 4: Phoenix was dope. It was Steve Nash MVP year we

1679
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 4: went sixty two and twenty. But that was the media.

1680
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 4: The whole city loved Phoenix. They love that. They love

1681
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 4: when we lost bro. If you could have seen how

1684
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 4: when you got New York it was like, oh snap,

01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 4: and it was like, yo, this is ill. And it

1689
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 4: was like you said, like you could see all of

1690
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 4: these headlines and all of this dramas circulating, and we

1691

Speaker 3: like I was one of the first users of all

1738
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 3: of that ship. So it's like this an evolution of that.

1739
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,000

1785
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 3: scenes and make this stuff come to life because our

1786
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 3: lives was just like framed off of what we've seen

1787
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,439

1788
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 3: power through what you're doing. I know, I may be

1789
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:55,200

1790
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,120

1849
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,360

01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 3: kind of be accepted and to take it to where

1862
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 3: I'm taking it. And now you know, to lead by

1863
