But I was 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.280 probably like in that Crossroads, I was like the smallest kid. 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.480 Yeah, you know, in ninth grade. 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.800 I was so happy to get to high school because 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.040 I played you know, basketball and Crossroads in eighth grade, 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.760 but I always wanted to play like against better competition. 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.720 So it was like my first time having an opportunity 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.519 to feel like, you know, I was a real teenager. 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.040 But I didn't really do much. You know. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.360 It wasn't like I had an exciting life. I was 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.080 just so focused on basketball. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:41.880 That was it. That was really it. 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:46.200 I remember playing against Brentwood at homecoming and the jersey 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:46.880 was too big. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:49.960 No, no, they didn't. 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.520 No, we cracked and we could kill them. And they 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.200 were yelling diapers, diapers every time I tested the ball 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.240 because my shorts were so big that they thought that 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.840 I had put a diaper on to keep my shorts up. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.800 So yeah, so you know, classic Brentwood. That was fun 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.799 and just I think being in ninth grade and being 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.000 in high school for the first time, it was like 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.600 you got a chance to like see what the older 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.920 kids were doing. So I was like always trying to 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.320 like hang with the older kids on campus. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.840 So if you were five too, did you think you 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:23.720 can make it to the NBA. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:24.760 Uh. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.200 I never paid attention to my height, you know, like 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:32.040 I was super insecure. I would go in the backyard 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.880 and hang on the clothes line, so there was like 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.840 these clothes poles, so I would hang on the clothes line. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.560 That's the year I start drinking milk. But I was 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.800 really eating cereal because I hated milk. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:44.560 I don't know. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.920 I was just kind of like confident, you know what 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.560 I mean. But at the same time, I was so small. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.760 I was just trying to like trying to have some 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.160 you know, trying to have some space and like follow 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:54.880 other people. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:55.200 You know. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.440 Now, I think I have to start drinking milk. I 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.160 need to get a little bit taller. I'm still serial. 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.200 You know, one day I'm gonna dunk because I'm gonna 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.960 drink all that all that milk. So, you know, like 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.880 currently there's the eybl tournaments going on, and I think 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.480 it's interesting because all these players who have the potential 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.080 to go to the NBA, they all know each other. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.040 All these five stars, they play against each other all 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.880 the time. When you were like fourteen, fifteen sixteen, was 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.120 there a player that now we all know the name 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.880 of that you played against when you were younger that 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.880 it's like a fun matchup to think about now. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.240 I played against Earl Watson when he was in seventh grade. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.520 I played against Dion Glover when he was in sixth grade. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.960 One Dion Glover beat our team in the championship. Earl 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.200 Watson beat our team. They beat us too. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.800 Who else? Tayshaun Prince. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.479 We were actually on the same AAU team, you know, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.440 like here in LA when I was growing up as 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.600 a kid. It was like the first time that I 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.520 would saying, like AAU basketball was starting to like form 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.320 with travel. We didn't have all the resources, but we 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.520 would all kind of travel together. Gilbert Arenas played on 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.919 our AAU team, Like we had a lot of Gilbert 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.880 James Harden played on our AAU team, So it was 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:16.039 just it was almost like this brotherhood. Yeah, and you 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.360 know as I as, I was like the older one, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.880 you know, we started all the way from seven years old. 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.800 So it was like this cool little like community of 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.760 folks that you know, we always played against and played 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.200 with or travel you know. But he only went to 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.560 like Vegas and then like, uh, where is it Galata Galita. 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.280 Yeah. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.440 I think it's cool to see, like, you know, Bradley 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.239 Beal with Jason Tatum in the way that like they 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.840 came from similar backgrounds in like the same city, and 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.120 I think that they played on similar teams and how 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.839 then you know, when Bradley Bill was like seeing that 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.840 Jason Tatum was like gonna make it, then you know 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:53.920 he becomes. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.080 Like a role model for him. I think that's cool 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:56.200 looking at those pictures. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.479 I don't know if you've seen them, but it's like 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.760 an edit of this AAU team, and I think there's 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.039 like twelve kids on it. All of them made it 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.279 to the NBA. Yeah, it's just crazy seeing all of 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.240 them there together. So that's cool to hear that you 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:09.360 would like a similar experience. 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:10.920 Yeah, it's so great. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:15.000 Like basketball has such a such a great brotherhood and 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:20.039 sisterhood and family like orientation and like the whole part 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.719 of like everybody says basketball community is like we're a community, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.200 and so it's like it's like a pay it forward 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.800 and like you really love these people, you know that 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.440 you look up to and you like watch, you know, 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.200 make it. So I think it's just this undying love 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.520 and appreciation of people's skills and you know, their path 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.599 that makes our community so close that. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.080 Speaking of making it, what was your welcome to the 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:45.719 league moment? 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:50.400 My welcome to the league moment?

He's huge. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.120 And so the game is going. Our point guard is 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.520 you know, Stocking is just working them over, and I'm like, 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:15.920 what is he? 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.040 What is he letting this do? 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.000 Work him over? I get in the game, I check 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.560 in the game. They shoot a free throw, I go 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.360 to take They go to take the ball out. I 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.160 try to grab the ball. I turn around, he steals it. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.840 If they score, I get the ball back. I throw 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.800 the ball in the get it down corner, throw it 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:33.360 in the post. 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.600 I cut through the big man takes one druggle spits, 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:37.600 he steals the ball. 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.000 And then the next play he like took me off 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:41.400 a pick. 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.840 Then he like elbowed me in my like in my 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.320 neck and pushed me in the Carl Malone. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.000 So I was like, Dune, this is not this is 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.800 not a nice guy.

And as soon 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.320 as I turn, turn around and throw them all in 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.600 front of me, friends in front were not small bounds 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.320 and the coach takes me the game. 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.640 Yeah, that was it. I don't think I even went back. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:09.800 And you know you. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.000 Did lead the NBA twice in steals, so you were like. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.080 Okay, well you have to learn from the grades. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.680 Now we've heard about you in like middle school and 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.520 high school. But here's my question. I want to know 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.880 you were part of the We Believe Warriors. I don't 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.560 know if you saw, but these last Warriors people were 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.520 saying this was like, do We Believe Warriors Part two? 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.240 If you had your starting lineup and then you had 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:42.920 Steph Clay Dre loon In Wiggs, who's winning. Oh for sure, 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.600 I'm going to take my Warriors because we did. I mean, 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.120 you know, you guys beat Dirk, but we beat Luca 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.080 and then we got a ring. 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.160 Yeah, you got ring. 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.359 I mean you know, I would never bet against myself 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.920 on a basketball court, or Steven Jackson or Monte Ellis. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.280 I mean we you know we can. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.400 I definitely feel like, you know, our team would be 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.160 able to get up and down, you know, score with them. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.080 And we actually like play. 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.760 Defense, not saying it like I'm talking about our era. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.000 I will defend my boys over everything. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.200 We play defense. Joy Mind is a great defender. The 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.880 Warriors a great defensive team. I'm saying, like on our team, 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.079 like they didn't think that we played defense. O. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:24.719 Yeah, so we. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.199 Started like like not that we started, but we were 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.920 the first kind of team outside of Phoenix that would 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.599 play up and down, shoot a lot of threes, and 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.040 they never thought we played defense. But similar to the Warriors, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:39.560 it's like you have this defensive mentality. But if we 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.120 were to play that game, I would put Monte Lis 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.040 on Steph Curry. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.240 I would put me on Clay. 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.320 You think you block them up? I mean, you know, 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.480 if it's game six, Clay, no one can stop. Maybe 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.000 any of the maybe. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.959 Maybe Clay is tough to stop. You got to get 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.640 around a lot of picks. Steve Vin Jackson with guard 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:09.640 probably Wiggins, Okay, Matt Barnes or Al Harrington with guard Draymond. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.680 Draymond can't guard Al Harrington. I've never seen anybody guard. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:15.440 Drake can guard anywhere. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.480 I feel like I've never seen anything. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:18.640 Okay, I'll for it. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.280 Then, well that would be an interesting matchup. And then 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.880 Looney and Beatrice. I think they would both just they 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.120 were both like hustle guys. Yeah, you know, would cancel 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.320 each other out. But you know that this team was 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.440 very similar to like our team as far as like 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.640 they just play with so much joy together with tinacity 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.440 and you know, you got a top five player of 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:41.880 all time and Steph Curry. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.560 I like top five. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.880 It's tough, you know, it's tough. 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.920 Yeah, I think Lone is so underrated, and I think 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.520 he's such a fun player to watch. You know, last 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.480 season and this season he has not missed a game. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.760 He just plays through everything. I think it was something 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.000 like since January he led the league in offensive rebounds. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.440 He's just I just think he's so fun to watch 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.320 because it's someone who watches the Warriors so intently. It's 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.280 cool to see like everyone's all like Steph dre Clay, 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.000 but and Andrew of course, but like he actually is 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.760 so important to their success, which I think is fun 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.720 to watch because he's like an underdog. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.760 And it's true. 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.280 Was he well he's number five? No, he was five on. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.080 Okay, and he has my number two for the Warriors. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.640 Yeah, you guys connect, I think. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.280 Okay, what was the most memorable play of your career? 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.440 Well, actually, I think we all probably know the answer 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:44.839 to that, but I want to hear your answer. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.840 I would say the most memorable play in my career 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:54.480 is uh, I have credit for making the longest shot 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:55.840 in NBA history. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.520 You do what happened? 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.160 It was we were playing Milwaukee. It was like, I think, 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.679 like one second on the clock. They were shooting a 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.400 free throw, and I was telling Eddie Robinson, like, Yo, 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.760 take the ball out, dude, just take the ball out. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.760 Throw it to me. I swear to god, I'm gonna 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:15.960 make it, dude. I feel it. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.800 And he's like he's like going as he's lined up 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.280 across and he's like, dude, like all right, I'm like, dude, no, no, 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.280 take the ball out because if you don't take it out. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.800 I think it was mash or somebody. They're gonna take 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.040 it out and they don't care who to. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.120 Throw it to. So we're like going back and forth, 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.439 and he was like, I got you, I got you. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.760 The ball goes in and he takes off down the 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.640 court and I'm like, I'm so upset, so I run 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.000 to the baseline. I forgot who threw me the ball. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.920 I catch the ball and I throw it and it 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.840 goes in and you can see him like holding his 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.800 hands up at the opposite end of the fit of 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.680 the on the basket. It was in Milwaukee, Oh okay, 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.240 And it was like one of those shots like, oh, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.560 like you know, the momentum had changed, Milwaukee is just 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:00.720 his some free throws. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.720 The air was dead, and I just like flung it 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:05.679 and I was like, see, I told you I was 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.880 gonna make it. I told you I was gonna make it. 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.400 So it was like the shot that I called before 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.760 I show make it in or did you know I switched? 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.840 That's nice. You should have been like you guys were 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.800 playing a game of horse or something. No one would 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:18.360 beat you in that. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.640 And then I would say, carolinco is probably like the 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.440 one that people will remind me of, so I have 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.320 to I have to say that that is, you know, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:26.719 one of. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.560 The more livable, you know moments in my career. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.760 Yeah, I feel like Jordan Poole has had a few 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.120 shots like that this past season where like he just 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:35.160 chucked it up and I'm like. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:35.920 What are you doing? 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.240 And then it goes in like I was at Game 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.199 five of the Finals, and I remember it was funny 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.040 because I don't even know what was happening, but I'm 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:46.480 still like, I love Jordan, but I'm. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.600 Still like, give it to Steph. Give me Steph is Steph. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.640 And I think it was like going into the from 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.760 the third to the fourth and Jordan just sort of 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.280 took it and he just sort of like chucked it 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.079 and of course he like baked. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.040 It and I'm like, what are you doing? Like every 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.720 time you're like, do not do that? And then it 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.120 goes and you're like come on. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.560 I mean, I love guys like that who are like, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.480 you know, it's like reliable wild cards, you know what 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.760 I mean. It's just like you know what you're gonna get, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.079 but you could get forty, you know what I mean. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:18.520 He's so capable of like doing incredible things. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:19.680 He has so much potential. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.720 I just I hope that what we saw this season stays, 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.320 Like I really really hope that he just continues to 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.720 grow because he's really I mean, I think you can 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.160 see it at Michigan. We saw this season, especially when 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.320 Steph was hurt in those last few weeks, he was 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.480 really so especially in the Denver series too, he was crazy. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.320 I think he's gonna have a big year because you know, 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.240 there's still like the sixth Man Award, there's still the 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.800 most improved player. There's still like, yeah, there's still like 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.280 room for him to grow to be that guy. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:49.720 Yeah. 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.520 What do you think about Jaw getting Most Improved Player? 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:53.600 I think I. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.640 Did not Like I didn't either, because I don't like 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.880 he's already a superstar, you know what I mean. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.240 He was drafted second game. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.200 Yeah, I feel like Most Improved Players an award that's 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.360 supposed to be given to someone who goes from being 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.320 like Jordan Poole in the G League to being like 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.000 a huge player. Jaw has the normal progression of an 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:12.920 NBA superstar. 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:13.920 He was rookie in the year. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.800 He's just getting better, but he's getting better like he's 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.120 supposed to. Jordan was one of the last picks in 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.600 the first round, and now you know, he's averaged like 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.920 twenty eight points all something like that all five games 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:27.040 of the Denver series. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.320 So okay, this is for sure my. 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.120 Favorite you should like work for the NBA. You should 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.040 tell the NBA that. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.160 Okay, NBA, if you guys are listening, So Baron David says, 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:37.960 I'm knowledgeable. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.880 Yes, yeah, the Most Improved Player award cannot go to 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:43.280 a super ries. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.160 You know what I think should happen. I think I 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.200 should just choose all the awards because you know. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.600 If I did, I'd be like, Okay, Kaminga and Moses Moody, 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:56.880 they are tied for rookieson definitely, Draylon is definitely Defensive 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.320 Player of the Year. Steph MVP all the time. STEP's 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:07.480 unanimous every year, not just once every single time for sure. Okay, 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.160 this is my favorite sentiment.
