0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>This podcast is part of the seventy Sixers Podcast network

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>search seventy Sixers podcast wherever you get your pods. This

0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>season is whole NATO's first with the seventy Sixers and

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>his role as specialized, but that hasn't stopped him from

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>enjoying his time with the team. We know how crude

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>we are, the way we stick together. There's something something

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>spect show on that team beyond basketball. Nato is a

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>multifaceted guy. He's got a variety of interests and he's

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>kept busy during the NBA suspension. I'm doing more of

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>the things that I could n't doing during the season.

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>With the season set to restart, NATO's eager to get

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>back on the floor and contribute to the Sixers title

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>hunt anyway he can. I'm excited about when we get

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>back to play. I don't know how it's gonna be,

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>when it's gonna be, but something that I look forward to.

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>This is posted up with how ould Nato? Welcome to

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the final installment of Post It Up, presented by Caesar's Online,

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>our mini cast series here on the broadcast that's been

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>checking in on the seventy Sixers during the hiatus I'm

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Brian Seltzer. We hope you've enjoyed the first eight episodes

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and have the same experience here with episode nine. When

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Hoole Nato signed with the seventy six ers over the summer,

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>he was confident that some of his best basketball was

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>ahead of him. I think I can bring spacing. I

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>can shoot the bow from the outside, and I think

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be that's gonna be a thing, probably the

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing for me and this team, and I'm just

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>excited to start working. Prior to the COVID nineteen pandemic

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>putting the NBA on pause, Nato had appeared in forty

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>nine to the six or sixty five games, averaging four

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and a half points and one and a half assists

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>in eleven and a half minutes. Not only has the

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight year old been reliable ball handler, he shot

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the ball respectably two His three point percentage of thirty

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half ranks among the best marks of

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>his career, and like any good vet, Nato has proven

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>reliable and called upon. Take, for instance, the seventy six

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>ers last second come from behind victory against the Portland

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Trailblazers in November Nato was instrumental in the comeback charge.

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Nato with the ball how on a drive off the

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Classes got what a shot? How no No puts it

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>up and the Sixers help once again crept with it

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>bread and it probable layup as good. Nato was shown

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that an extended action he can fill the cup up

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 1>a bit as well. He went for nineteen points back

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>in January against Golden State and right before the Sixers

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>final game prior to the league shutdown. He reached double

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>figures in back to back appearances. Every time I'm on

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the bench, I'm kind of mentally ready and mentally in

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the game. So if I have a shot, I try

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to take it, no matter what, you know, even if

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not warm enough or if I'm not in the

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>hiding of the game. I just tried to be aggressive

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and he turned out pretty well. Sometimes to me during

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>this season, the approach paid off. Over the last three

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half months, Nato has split time between Philadelphia

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.959
<v Speaker 1>and Salt Lake City, where he spent the first four

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>seasons of his NBA career. Nato is originally from Brazil.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>He grew up in a city about three hundred miles

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>north of riodition Arrow. After the season came to a halt,

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Nato kicked the tires on going back home, but circumstances

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't permit. Regardless of where he's been the past four months,

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>communication with his six Ers teammates has been constant, especially

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>with busy new twin dad Kyle O Quinn. Like Nato

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a season vat when I was in Fieling and he

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.239
<v Speaker 1>was in Feeling. We FaceTime every day. The fourteen days

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>of quarantine, I talked to him like basically every day.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:33.399
<v Speaker 1>I saw him changing diapers with his babies. So it's

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>been it's been fun. We have another group chat that

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>we talked with Matisse and Tobias. I think we started

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>one day we went to grab some wine. We started

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>this group chat just organizing. We we talked a couple

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>of times, but it's hard to stay in touch with

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>everybody and talking to everybody. But the group chat is

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>there and we've been we've been using it a lot.

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Without hoops to fill his nights and days, Nato admits

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to going a little bit stir crazy. He found the

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>beginning of quarantine particularly challenging, but eventually he fell into

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a routine, one that revolves around a holistic approach. I

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>try to get at least two to three hours with

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>things that are gonna work my mind or my body.

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>So either I have a bike here that I've been

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>doing almost every day just to try to stay in shape.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading a lot, so I'm trying to keep my

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>mind busy with other things other than just movies and TV.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been reading a lot, and then of course Netflix

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and Amazon Prime trying to find new shows to watch.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Suits Ozarks and of course the viral quarantine hit Tiger

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Can were among the shows Nato benched early on. He's

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>also been in the kitchen a bunch. I don't have

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>one dish, but I mean my girlfriend gets mad at

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>me every time because I just change all the recipes.

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes come out pretty well, sometimes not there well. But

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I like to be diverse in the kitchen,

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, try to do um different things. I don't

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>have one one thing that I that is my specialty.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I think I think most of my plates is being

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>been pretty good. As anxious as Neto has been to

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>ramp up again, he ultimately embraced life at a slower pace.

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 1>It's being okay. I mean, it's been I've had a

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of time to talk to my family and like

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>being in contact with my friends, which I couldn't do

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>during the season because it's so so crazy and takes

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>so much time for life, basketball and traveling and all that.

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>So um, I think I've been I've been pretty good.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>There's no mistaking that Netto is a mellow show guy,

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>but he's also got a low key, serious competitive street

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to him and he can't wait to tap back into that.

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I think competing at games, I think that's what I

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>missed the most, you know, because like right here, I

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>can go out, i can go run outside, and I'm

0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>still gonna swear, I'm still gonna get my exercise done.

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>But just they compete, and seeing my teammates playing well

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and cheering for them and seeing them cheering for me too,

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what I missed the most from from basketball.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>By the way, you gotta check out Whole's ignato O eight.

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>His latest post is a video of him doing a

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty sweet three sixty one handed duncan SloMo on a

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>practice court. It's very impressive. Anyhow, back to Hoole the competitor,

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>just how much do his juices start flowing when he's

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>out there on the floor. Well, he told us this

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>story from the seventy six or his March fifth game

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>at Sacramento where he exploded for an outrageous fourteen points

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in the third quarter. I remember a guy Understands just

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>talking a lot of crap, and he kind of got

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 1>me going too. I think he was like yelling at

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>me at the first half where I didn't play pretty well,

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.479
<v Speaker 1>so he was talking a lot, and then I don't

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>know if you can see, but after a couple I

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>think my second tree I looked at him and he

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 1>was just kind of disappointing we might perform. So that

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>was that was pretty good that I got to play

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 1>well on that game, having this guy out there, and

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I try to take every little thing as

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>motivation and try to guide me going. As Prett Brown

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>likes to say, hold Nato is good people. He's a quality,

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>dependable point guard who's got solid playoff experience. In other words,

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>he's just the type of guy you want in your

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>corner when the stakes are at their highest, which is

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be the case for Nato in the seventy

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>six ers and not too long. The way we stick

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>together is something something special. We've had stretches that we

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>played great basketball, and I think we lost only two

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>games at home, which is impressive, but then on the

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>road we lost a lot of games. So I think

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>just the way the chief the team doesn't change the

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>chemistry and locker room no matter what's going on with

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the results. That's something that that is special for us.

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>This has been posted up with hold Nato, presented by

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.400
