12
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: busts your ass when when you got to the league?

00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: H Cole, it was a buck ninety, so Cob was.

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 4: The first one. Preseason. I it didn't really count. Appreciate

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 4: the forum too, so it was like the yeah, uh

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 4: stack Jack got thrown out at halftime of the preseason game,

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 4: so I had to come back and some reason I

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: got switched on him. So he's busting my ass in

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: one possession, so he like the switch. She walked me

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: down to the post call for the ball. But I'm

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: trying to do like the three quarter situation, like make

22
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 4: it look good for filming all that. He grabbed my

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 4: knee and did the whole thing where he wasn't gonna

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 4: let me move and I'm like trying to get away

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 4: trying to get away. I'm yelling at the reft thinking

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: he's a called offensive foul on him. I don't know

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. And uh, he got the ball

28
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 4: one quick shoulder to the chest, threw me like five

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 4: feet back, turning jumper. That was a wrap. Then the

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: second dude was Brandon Jennings and he had a double

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 4: nickel against that.

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 3: He was going everybody, everybody that was that look.

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 5: That was like, like you talking about eighth for ninth

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 5: game in the league.

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the first East Coast road trip. He

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: had fifty five earlier in the game. Hearted, but he

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: dropped me early in the game, like the second quarter.

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: We were trying to blitz him, and he like came

39
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: off with the screen the left. This film of it too,

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: hit me with a quick little left right cross down

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: to the middle, and I just sat.

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: Down beat the proper respect, Like that boy was. That

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: boy was a bad boy.

44
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 5: He was out here killing fools and he was like,

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 5: you know, he kind of started that whole I go

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 5: overseas before I go through this, and like and then

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 5: prospered and came back and was still a lottery picked.

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: So he kind of he kind of set the tread

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: for that for a lot of coming.

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,280

75
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: of really emotions of you know, the chase to to

00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: and writers and screenplays and all that, Like, you can't

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: write that story any different if I'm not going to

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: do it at home, to do it at the garden

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: in front of Ray, in front of Reggie, in front

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 4: of my fam. I'm still kind of realing off of

84
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: the emotions of that. But h somebody asked me like

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 4: maybe two or three games after that, when I got

86
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: to three thousand, it's like that's a crazy milestone. Never

87
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: thought I'd get there in my life, and then a

88
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: whole lot left in the tank. So definitely do break

89
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: a record with every three. I can't celebrate crazy like that.

90
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you got hype.

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: But like that makes me think about like U d right,

92
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 5: you know you d find of like every time he

93
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: get a rebound, that's a new heat record with like

94
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: so so I used to be even though I'd be

95
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: messing with it like he boy, y'all see you for

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 5: a new record, but like you got for the entire logo,

97
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 5: Like that is insane to be like like you say,

98
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: got so much left in the tank, and it's like

99
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: because you detail me said every time I get a

100
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 5: rebound me that's a new record, Like that's legit, Like

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 5: that's a bar.

102
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: It is, well, I do know, just because like it's

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 4: that weird like career type accomplishment. But I still I'm

105
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: in my prime, like and so it's weird, like to

106
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 4: celebrate something that was meaningful to me. It's just how

107
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 4: I play. Is what I've been working on my entire life.

108
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 4: But see how far I can stretch it, like everybody

109
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: talking about four thousand, We'll see, Like I'm just I'm.

110
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: Joining the moment.

111
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 4: Man.

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 5: That's just favored though, like you say, that haven't happened

113
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 5: in the guard Like come on, bro, like that like

114
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 5: Ray and Reggie Collin game, Like you can't line it

115
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 5: up like you said, you can't script it.

116
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: No better than that that was that was special.

117
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: No better is learning how to shoot like a family recipe,

118
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: like a secret recipe like in the family.

119
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's a pre record. Even my sister,

120
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 4: my wife, didn't grow up playing basketball, but she can

121
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: get out there and knock it down.

122
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 3: He got the form.

123
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: It's it's obviously in our DNA and our blood and

124
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: just loving basketball. You know, we've been around in our

125
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: entire life. I guess talent can take you so far,

126
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: and we all know that, but you know, to develop

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 4: a real skill around you know, something like that, it's

128
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: just the reps and you have to love it. So

129
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: the natural ability is amazing. That's why I fell in

130
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: love with the game early. But you know, the reps

131
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 4: and the work that we all put in to get

132
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 4: to where we got in the league. Like it's, uh,

133
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 4: that's that's a special sauce right there.

134
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: I can't tell nobody the secret recipe, like the family recipe.

135
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: Do get it?

136
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: So yeah by Osmosis, Right, he's my favorite.

Speaker 4: Like we're in New Orleans last year and uh, he

139
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,360

141
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: he's doing a postgame interview walking off the court and

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: I was in there with him, and so the reporters

143
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: asking us questions back and forth, and Mike Brown says

144
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: the coach. Now he comes up behind him like, oh,

145
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: them Curry boys can shoot. Deale turned around and said Lee.

146
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: So you get my name right, the Lee Boys. So

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: he he got a ratchet though, for sure.

148
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: But how was Toronto? Do you remember?

00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: It was different. I love the city so diverse. There's

155
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: so much culture there. The Raptors that was in the

156
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: middle of innsanity, so every game was it was unreal.

157
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 4: It's just too cold. We were just talking about that.

158
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: It was just way too cold. But I lived up

159
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: there for three years when my dad was finished of

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: his career. The adjustment was kind of cool. Playing basketball,

161
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 4: I was in what they you know, say, grade eight,

162
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: and I was playing against.

163
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: You, played against Corey Joseph and Kelly we All.

164
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 4: I was playing for the Toronto five. I can't remember

165
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: which teams they were playing for. We had like the

166
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: provincial championships there in London, Ontario, so I got to

167
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: play against the best of the best. And in Ontario.

168
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 4: It was a different It was the biggest basketball's basketball,

169
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: But it was also kind of a nice shot for

170
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: me to get away from North Carolina where I was

171
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: playing au and stuff, to just get a little bit

172
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: of a different competition and a little different vibe, different

173
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: style of basketball and build my confidence from there. And

174
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: then when I got back and started playing high school

175
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 4: back in North Carolina, I think I was better off

176
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: for it. But it was also like, I mean, you know,

177
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: I have my dad play in the league and watching

178
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: him do what he did, Like we talked about the

179
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: love of shooting. Me and my brother would go up

180
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: to the at the Eric Cannison to go up to

181
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: the practice facility and we for the first half and

182
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: then we go watch the second half. So it's kind

183
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: of like we're junkies. We want to just get shot

184
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: sulf and play one on one and work on a game,

185
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: but we also want to go out and watch the

186
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 4: best of the best do what they did. So it's

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: I was blessed growing up that way, like always having

188
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 4: an opportunity to go play and be around and be

189
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: able to see the best do what they do and

190
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: be inspired by it.

191
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 5: So like, tell me about that because I feel like

192
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 5: kids that get a chance to grow up around that,

193
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 5: Like you know what I'm saying.

194
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: You go into games, you're dead.

195
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 5: They got a video you sitting watch your dad be

196
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 5: in a three point contest and be at All Star Weekend,

197
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: you being around all that great, And it's like I

198
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 5: feel like that just like you say, like OSMOS is

199
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: like you just soaking everything up and you getting the unfair,

200
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 5: Like you're getting to look at the test before you

201
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 5: gotta come take it way before, and it's like can

202
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: you remember and retain a lot of that stuff?

203
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: But what do you think that is?

204
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: It's all of that, it's uh, the IQ of the

205
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: game and seeing how different guys approach it, Like there's

206
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: a lot of different styles. We all know that, and

207
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 4: you get to just see it every day and kind

208
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: of see guys developed throughout their careers and get better.

209
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: And I was always watching everything how guy's practice, how

210
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: they treated people in the locker room, how they what

211
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 4: kind of energy they show up with to the games,

212
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: you know, and then see how that produce on the court.

213
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: I also feel like it's it's kind of like an

214
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: either or situation for me when you grow up in

215
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: the league. Either you got a crazy sense of entitlement

216
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: like I was playing and like, oh, I'm gonna be here.

217
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to be here because he did. Or it

218
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 4: is the gratitude of like, there's the best four hundred

219
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: and fifty basketball players in the world, and I know

220
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: what my dad went through to get there, Like I

221
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: gotta work my ass off to get there myself, and

222
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 4: like if I don't, you know, it's a waste of opportunity,

223
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: you know, So like it kind of that's up to you.

224
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: That's up to how you approach it. And I'm appreciate

225
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 4: that my parents for giving us a solid foundation of

226
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 4: how we can respect the game and that in that front,

227
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: because nothing was easy for me in my basketball journey,

228
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: like you know, physically was late bloom all that type

229
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: of stuff. But I got to see it and that

230
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: was a definitely blessing.

231
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 5: You said you were a late bloomer, right, So for you,

232
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 5: at what point did you feel like it started to

233
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: click for you even though you still only had you know,

234
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: so many you know, offers and things like that. What

235
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 5: point did you feel like for you and your mind

236
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 5: it started to work.

237
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, not till like half it through my

238
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: senior year of high school. I went through the AU

239
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: circus from So that's one of other things about me.

240
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: I played autil I was thirteen, and then I didn't

241
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: play until I was seventeen, and those three years just

242
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: played school ball. And a lot of it was because

243
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 4: I was such a late bloomer, Like physically, I could

244
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: not keep up. And you know, AAU like your fast

245
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: show as tall as you're probably gonna shine, you know,

246
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 4: the skilled guy isn't really necessarily highlighted like that at

247
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: that level, and so it wasn't doing me any good

248
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: to get out there and just get bulldoze every game

249
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: those three years. You know, I got to work on

250
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: my game for what I knew in high school, like

251
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 4: I do push up, sit up, try to get a

252
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: little stronger. But it wasn't you know, nature was taken over.

253
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: So once I got to seventeen, started playing AU travel

254
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: circus all that you started side yourself up against you know,

255
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: the top that's where the rankings. For me, like that

256
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: was such a big deal because I wasn't ranked at all,

257
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 4: and I was like, what can I do to get

258
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 4: to at least like, you know, top fifty in my

259
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: state to start there and work your way up, so

260
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: you play against the best the best. And I was

261
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: a turnover machine, Like I could shoot, I could score

262
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: and all that, but I just couldnt, you know, manage

263
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 4: the game. I was a competitor, like I wasn't gonna

264
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 4: back down, but it just didn't click. Senior year, we

265
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: went to a high school tournament in Columbia, South Carolina's

266
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 4: a Chick fil A class and we played the school

267
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: called Dumbwoodie from Georgia and they had like Ganni La Wall,

268
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: Jodie Meeks, some top prospects, and we made it to championship.

269
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 4: We played against them, and everybody was talking about were

270
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 4: overmatched like this and that, and I remember playing in

271
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: that game and just kind of coming into my own

272
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 4: from a confidence standpoint, from physicality standpoint, just knowing what

273
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 4: I was trying to do on the court, the run

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: on a team man score and we got to win.

275
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 4: And like, from that moment on, I was like, you know,

276
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: these are the guys I'm gonna be playing against on

277
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: the next level, regardless of where I'm at. And obviously

278
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: choosing Davidson in a small division on school, like I

279
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: can play with the best, and the best took that

280
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: confidence and ran with it. So it helped to be

281
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: able to play my way through some of those mistakes

282
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: and those learning curves. Even when I got to college,

283
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 4: like my refreshman year, I got to play right away

284
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: and had thirteen turnovers in my first my first game,

285
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 4: Like I had to work through all of that and

286
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 4: not lose confidence in myself, and you know, I got

287
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: to pay, you know, reap the benefits of that later.

288
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: I was there to just be in college and you know,

289
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: going through all that and having a coach that believed

290
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: in you, believe that you can do what you know

291
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: you can do what you're doing now.

292
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: There is belief, but it's also the tough love we

293
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: all had co just that you know.

294
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: That's wrong on thirteen turnover? Was what was that talk? Like?

295
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: Like it was just a lot of yelling, a lot

296
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: of hearing my name and all that. But I'm thankful

297
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 4: because I wanted it so bad that I was cool

298
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: like accepting being coached, Like I knew I didn't know

299
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: at all. I knew I had a lot to learn

300
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: and a lot of room to grow, but I was

301
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 4: okay with getting coach. No matter how tough it was,

302
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 4: no matter how embarrassing it was. And I'm thankful that

303
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: I accepted that early so that I could kind of

304
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 4: go through those lumps and not lose confidence in myself

305
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 4: because you have a coach that believes in you. It's

306
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: one thing, and they're going to try to set you

307
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: up for success, but you got to walk into that

308
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: and you got to you know, make them, you know,

309
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: look like they know what they're talking about, no matter

310
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: how hard it is, and or you can cower away

311
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: from it and you know, give into you know, the

312
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: deficity like what you can't do on the floor, the

313
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: other failures that you have and all that type of stuff.

314
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: And so obviously you just saiding them. But I'm thankful.

315
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: That's why I tell everybody, you know, be open to

316
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: being coached, because you know, it's the only way you

317
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 4: get to your full potential. It's the only way you're

318
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: gonna get exposed to where you know, you can like

319
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: look at yourself in the minor say this is why

320
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: I need to work on. This is the you know,

321
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: the strides that I can take to get to where

322
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: I want to be and kind of roll with that mindset.

323
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 5: Man if it was ever anybody for kids out there

324
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 5: are listening to, like you are the prototype. You know

325
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, late blooming like you say, didn't have

326
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 5: the confidence up until your senior year. Because it's a lot,

327
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: like you say, especially now, way more than when we

328
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 5: were coming up.

329
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: Like these kids now.

330
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 5: Start getting ranked in fourth and fifth grade, it's like

331
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 5: they might not play basketball by time they get grade.

332
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: Like what are you ranking? It's like they legit got

333
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: fourth grade. Like I saw a first when they had

334
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 5: Devin and all them.

335
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: I'm like this, they like what rankings.

336
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: So it's like, you know what I'm saying, for you

337
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 5: to be all of those things, not feeling like you're

338
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 5: good enough, but then you work and you become literally

339
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: the greatest shooter ever.

340
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

341
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 5: They want MVP, these championships, all types of awards at

342
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 5: the top level of basketball period. So like you the

343
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 5: prototype for people to see like you on your own pace,

344
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 5: it ain't what everybody else wanted to be. Sometimes it

345
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 5: don't work like that. Like I say that about you know,

346
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 5: we talking about our kids and stuff. People want these

347
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 5: kids to do that. I say, man, everybody gonna do

348
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: everything when they're supposed to. We just have to be

349
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: there to accept and support them.

350
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes guys rush their contract because it'll be a guy

351
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: that be with them, and they see that guy kind

352
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: of getting ahead on this year's he made the All

353
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: Star team. Love, they get themselves in the rush and

354
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: instead of going by their own pace.

355
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: So put that on like steroids. What these kids are

356
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: going through now, yeah, said the earliest ages when they

357
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: even play organized basketball. They're getting ranked and getting compared,

358
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: and you got to own your journey, Like you know,

359
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: God gives you words for you and you got to

360
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: walk in that. And for me, like I didn't know

361
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 4: at the time, but like that was just a perspective

362
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 4: because I love the game so much and even like

363
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: getting to my into the league where you start looking

364
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: at whatever, like you said, what other people's playing times with,

365
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 4: the what kind of money they getting, all that stuff,

366
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 4: Like that's you're all human. We know it's hard to

367
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 4: not observe and notice that stuff. But what's really important

368
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 4: making sure your priorities are straight and making sure you

369
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 4: know what journey you on, what pays you on, Like

370
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 4: you said, like try to tell all the rookies coming

371
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 4: in right now, especially because everything is so exposed and

372
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 4: everything is so hyped, and everything is just on blasts

373
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 4: like have Instagram when I was a rookie in the league.

374
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: It's crazy, I tell people all the time. For me

375
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 5: and him, it's kind of like like they talk about

376
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 5: man if y'all was on social media. Y'all have been there,

377
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: y'all have been.

378
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 3: That kind of goes both ways.

379
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 5: I mean, I can see a lot of time but

380
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 5: like we look, I mean, I feel like we probably

381
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 5: would have been way more known, but it might have

382
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: not been always for all the right reasons we got.

383
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 5: We got to make a lot of mistakes. Y'all generation

384
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: can't make as soon as y'all do it. It's it's

385
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 5: out there, like you know what I'm saying, Like somebody.

386
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: Practice the whole.

387
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: A couple of black screens with the white fun like yeah.

388
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: We have like you know, like camera phones was just

389
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: they haven't even really hit the color on the phone.

390
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: We look like digital screen.

391
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: We had two had a limit on numbers you can

392
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: put in the phone. And let me ask you this.

393
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: In college, you know now you got your groove, you

394
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: and your coach you hear and you know it's it's

395
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: buckets every night.

396
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: And you know, Davidson.

397
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: Ain't playing in a conference where they playing a top

398
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: on the big time conference. So now you got them

399
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: few games on your schedule that oh this might be

400
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: a ranked team or they might not be ranked, but

401
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: it's just a big name team.

402
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: How competitive and how ready you was.

403
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: For them games, because it's saying like every time you

404
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: played a game that it might be a potential you

405
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: can be on TV or ESPN.

406
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I appreciate my experience even more. Like

407
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: kind of similar we're talking about. I was kind of

408
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 4: off the map, off the radar while I was working

409
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 4: on my game. And so like you know, my freshman year,

410
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 4: we weren't ranked at all, we weren't even close, played

411
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: a solid non conference schedule or early. But then we

412
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 4: went through our conference and we were undefeated and we

413
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: lost one game in conference my freshman year and that's

414
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 4: when the buzz started. Then that parlayed into my sophomore

415
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: year where we had I think eight games in our

416
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: non conference schedule. We played Carolina, n C State, Duke,

417
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: u C l A, U n C State, and we

418
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: played all those teams early because we knew we were

419
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: good and we knew we needed to get tested early

420
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: to figure out who we were and get exposed a

421
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: little bit because we only think we lost all those games.

422
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: But then you get to you get prepared if we

423
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: get through conference and do what we need to do

424
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 4: and get to the tournament, Like that's that's our time

425
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: to show, you know, people what we're really about. And

426
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 4: that's exactly what the formula was and that's how it worked.

427
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 4: But to your question, like, I loved every bit of

428
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 4: that because it goes back to you know, I was

429
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: playing you like I knew who those guys that were

430
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 4: in my class and you know that got those high

431
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 4: D one offers, and I knew I could compete with them,

432
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 4: and so can our team if we figure out, you know,

433
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: have confidence and who we are even though.

434
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: We didn't win.

435
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: Like, I love that that environment. I love that stage,

436
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: and uh, they prepared me for that tournament run, which

437
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: was you know, it was insane for us to get

438
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 4: one shot away from the final four and lose to

439
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: the eventual champs in Kansas, And that's when it became

440
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 4: a show, and that's when it became a good prep

441
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: for the next love in the league because everywhere we

442
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 4: went that my junior year. It was it was packed

443
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 4: to the to the nosebleeds and was it.

444
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 5: Was to know that you started, you know where you started,

445
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 5: and then you got it and you still like you

446
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 5: here you had Davis and you know it. You know

447
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, you know do because I can remember

448
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 5: when I like, like you say, when you first go

449
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 5: to the map, everybody like we watching, like, man, you

450
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 5: gotta check them out.

451
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: You getting like why you David? Like how do like

452
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: who missed out? Like what happened? Has he had David?

453
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 3: So many people gotta get fired. We didn't see this.

454
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 4: I loved it because it was a nice balance of

455
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: like nothing nothing really changed. Back on we had eighteen

456
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 4: hundred students of campus and so like you know everybody,

457
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 4: we know everybody that was a high school. So you

458
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 4: go play run the tournament. You know, Uh, we beat

459
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: Gonzaga and Georgetown in the first two rounds. Then we

460
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: get back to campus and it's like like there's a celebration,

461
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 4: but people got class on Monday, and it's like you know,

462
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: and so do we. So we show up and nothing

463
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 4: really changes. So it gave us a nice perspective of

464
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: you know, Let's keep the main thing the main thing.

465
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: Let's keep you know, enjoying this moment. But you know,

466
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: we still have our culture here. That's that's freaking dope

467
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 4: and represented to the fullest on the biggest of stages.

468
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 4: So I enjoyed it.

469
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: Take me back to the to the actual to your

470
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 5: draft night, right, because that's like all of our you know,

471
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 5: biggest day ever up to that point. How did you feel,

472
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like, now this is your

473
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 5: dad and your family and everybody coming to you for

474
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 5: your big night, and this is now you taking the

475
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 5: family business to the next level when it's your turn, Like,

476
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 5: tell me what that feel like? After you know you've

477
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 5: been in Toronto, Charlie, you following your dead's the point

478
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 5: are dead? Now it's his turn to start doing that

479
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 5: for you. It was surreal. And I said that because.

480
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 4: When you're so close to it for your whole life,

481
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 4: right like you said, you see it through his eyes,

482
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 4: and when it's you, when it's you, it didn't even

483
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 4: make sense, Like I know, i'ven't worked with my whole

484
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 4: life for this moment, but it didn't make sense like

485
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: it was happening and that night was going to be

486
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 4: the celebration of like him passing the torch to me

487
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 4: to start my own career, mo own journey. That was

488
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 4: one of his biggest pieces of ice, is like, you know,

489
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: you're gonna get compared and you're gonna have the shadow

490
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: and all that stuff, but you have to just live

491
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 4: in your own, your own journey and whatever that means,

492
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: like embrace it. And that night was the start of it.

493
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: It was an emotional night though it was his birthday

494
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 4: night Michael Jackson died, so it was like all that

495
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 4: was happening, I was getting It was just a whole

496
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: lot going on. And then you know, got drafted by

497
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: the Warriors and all the nick fans start booing because

498
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 4: they wanted me to drop the number eight. So I

499
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 4: had a lot of emotions going on at night, but

500
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 4: I just appreciated like the fact that I was able

501
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 4: to you know, realize a dream obviously and start your career.

502
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 4: I didn't know much about the Bay, but I was

503
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 4: ready to ready to go out there and figure it out.

504
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 5: So with that being said, right, we all know, like quietly,

505
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 5: when this process is going on, we have our places

506
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 5: that we would I mean, we know we can't control it, but.

507
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: Like, hey, I would like to play there or whatever room.

508
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: He was kind I wanted to go to hous to

509
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: me and you want to go used to definitely.

510
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 5: Let them get so we won't do that. We want

511
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 5: to work out like we go play with franchise whatever.

512
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: Right.

513
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: So for you you say you want to play for

514
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 5: the Knicks, like, how did you feel when when when

515
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: when everything went down?

516
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: When you got your name?

517
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 4: The draft processes as wild, like there's some new narrative

518
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: every day, there's some new guarantee on the draft board,

519
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 4: there's some trade rooms like every day it was something different.

520
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 4: But through that whole process, like I talked to Mike

521
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: D'Antoni who was the coach, and the next the time

522
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 4: they had Gallinari who is the young prospect, and the

523
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 4: whole conversations like oh put you you know gone all

524
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 4: David Lee was there. I was going to be exact

525
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 4: that would be, that would be the vibe, like you

526
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: D'Antonio puts you in all the right positions. I could

527
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: be like sorry, I could be like Nash two point

528
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: oh when was in Phoenix and all that type of stuff.

529
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: So that was a conversation and in New York added

530
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: to it because you already know you got you right.

531
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: I was sitting there and Blake goes one, seemed to

532
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: beat James Harden, Tyreek Evans, and then it's number five

533
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 4: and Minnesota's got the two picks in a row. So

534
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 4: I just get through these two. They got two picks

535
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 4: and roll and then it's guarantee, like I don't really know.

536
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 4: I talked to go in state like that it's gonna

537
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 4: be under eight. So they went Rubio and Johnny Flynn

538
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 4: and vice versa, and so I'm like, all right, this

539
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: is it. The next five minutes felt like an eternity

540
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 4: because you wait, like the clock in the green room

541
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: and all that, and then David Stern came out said

542
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 4: my name, and it didn't like I heard my name,

543
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 4: but it was like I ain't even talk to them.

544
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: It always be a team that you did, you work out.

545
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 5: For them, and we were trying to avoid them. We're

546
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 5: trying to like, wait, they gonna pick us like they

547
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 5: want to see were trying to go there. Man, it's

548
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 5: always be the team's repeat itself.

549
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 4: It's crazy. But then after that you're just trying to

550
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 4: make sense of it on the fly because it was

551
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: just like.

552
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 5: To that world wind medium in the back about forty

553
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 5: five hours.

554
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: On the next flight, next morning, out to the baby.

555
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: But that's a definite lesson and careful what you wish for.

556
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: When you got drafted, they had a guard that was

557
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: a bucket getter already there the homie mind. Tell yellers like,

558
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: what are some of the things you learned from him

559
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: when you got to the league, because he was one

560
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: of them boys we got to the league getting them buckets.

561
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: He was. He was my just on a funny tip,

562
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 4: he was my favorite, like one liner dude, real quiet,

563
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 4: but you real quiet shot around. He'd be a little stiff,

564
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: a little, a little, a little slow to get going

565
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 4: and somebody calling him, I tell you you're gonna run

566
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: this play. He got popcorn popping.

567
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 3: Do you.

568
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: You want to?

569
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 5: Now?

570
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 3: You want to?

571
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 4: You want to?

572
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: Now you want to?

573
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 4: That's my favorite line, so I still use that to

574
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 4: this day. He was like his athleticism is just the

575
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 4: way that he, you know, just put pressure on defenses.

576
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: It was just unreal, like you look up and he

577
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 4: had like the quietest forty of all times, just because

578
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 4: it was all just downhill, blow by you finishes all

579
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: over the place, sneaky pull up, you know, dunk on somebody,

580
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 4: but like nobody could stay in front of him, and

581
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 4: it was it was it was a cool thing to see,

582
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 4: like the speed of the NBA, like watching playing with

583
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: him and watching him because I didn't have athleticism and

584
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 4: I was like just in awe of he could get

585
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 4: anywhere he wanted to on the floor, and just his

586
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 4: confidence in himself, Like it was I didn't know much

587
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 4: about that. We believe there and like him being the

588
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 4: young guy on that team, yeah six man, you know,

589
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: and all that, and the most improved and being a

590
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: huge part of that team success work and worked like

591
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 4: coming out of high school and all. So when I

592
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: got there, he was the VET at like twenty four

593
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 4: to twenty five, and you know he had to come

594
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: into that responsibility really quick, and playing off of him

595
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 4: those first years, like we didn't really know who we

596
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 4: were as a backcourt and our identity because you know,

597
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 4: it was kind of a period of transition. But in

598
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: terms of like enjoying playing basketball and at that stage

599
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 4: and seeing somebody's talent that's totally separate or different the

600
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: way that I play, Like it was it was dope.

601
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: You can go to a lot of NBA teams, but

602
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: it seemed like the Warriors was fit for you.

603
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

604
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 1: Don Nelson is one of them guys that kind of

605
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: started for really as the guy father, starting of like, man,

606
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: we're from the run and and we're finn run it up.

607
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: So if y'all ain't gonna scos, y'all ain't gonna keep up.

608
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: And that's just like the perfect recipe for your your

609
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: game and the way you play. To get in the

610
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: organization like that and be there with people who believe

611
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: in that type of style of play.

612
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: How was that for you? It was good.

613
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 4: I knew Don Nelson in his style and when I

614
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: got there, uh CJ. Watson and Anthony Morrow, we're the

615
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 4: two young guys that have made the team from the

616
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: year before. They went through the shoes, you know exactly.

617
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 4: And they told me like when I first got, you know,

618
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 4: to camp, like y'all you're gonna love this system because

619
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 4: it's all about just playing fast. Everybody's gonna get a look.

620
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: You know.

621
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: He wants you to know to score, be aggressive offensively.

622
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 4: And you know they weren't lying like in the training camp.

623
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 4: We may have done one defensive drill, just roll the

624
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: ball out, you know, scrimmage. He would call out sets,

625
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: we run him and he was all about like matchups too,

626
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 4: So it's kind of cool like night and night out.

627
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: You go down and you go at whoever. And he

628
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 4: tried to you know, push press the right buttons on

629
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: that front. So it expanded my offensive like horizon really quickly,

630
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: because once I really started at the beginning of my

631
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: rookie year, got pulled out the rotation for about a

632
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: month and I got back in. And once I got

633
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 4: back in, like I kind of just hit a hit

634
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 4: a period of just another level of offensive like efficiency

635
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: and just coming to my own conference wise of what

636
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 4: I could do, and everybody, like everybody was a threat,

637
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: like kicking the you shoot, kick back, shoot, let's play fast.

638
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 4: The only thing was like we changed defenses every night.

639
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: You know, we know what our identity was, and it

640
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: was it was just cool. I got a little bit

641
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 4: of every experience my rookie year. It was sad as

642
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: that that was his last year coaching. We were chasing

643
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 4: the wins for him to pass Lenny Wilkins right here,

644
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 4: so it was weird, like we think we won, like

645
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 4: twenty three five games or something like that. But every

646
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 4: game felt like important because it's about getting him win.

647
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: Before it was that had a little bit of an

648
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: intensity to it. I gave us something to play for.

649
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: When you first got into league. Was like me, I was,

650
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm six nine and I was a buck nightey.

651
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

652
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't even too under found when I got drafted.

653
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: And you know, Skinny kid, and you know it's a

654
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: physical game out there. But when I seen you all,

655
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: you know you always signed somebody up when as soon

656
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: as you see them you instantly sized them up and

657
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: see her there.

658
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: But I noticed it on TV.

659
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: But when I seen you in person, I was like, yeah,

660
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: that's I'm seeing your arms, your physique, How you change

661
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: when you decided to go to the weight room and

662
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: go to the weight room heavy because you know us,

663
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: skinny guy, we'll go to the weight room, but we ain't.

664
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 5: You don't go to we went to the weight room.

665
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: He become m THEO came.

666
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: Nothing to hop on these arms, you know what I'm saying.

667
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: But then you see that one, that one something when

668
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: you come back.

669
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: And your whole physique change.

670
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: And I've seen it in you and your strength, and

671
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: I know, I know is just now when you be

672
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: running off screens and stuff, you're a little bit more

673
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: stronger for them to they can't hold.

674
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: You no more. Absolutely.

675
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 4: As part of that was a reaction to like how

676
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 4: defenses were regarding me and the physicality of the league.

677
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 4: That adjustment from colleges, it's a shock. The biggest thing was,

678
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 4: like I knew I could shoot the ball, and I

679
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 4: knew I was kind of like finess was a part

680
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: of my game, and I could, you know, get away

681
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 4: with it for only so long. But when we started

682
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 4: getting to the playoffs and you realize how much the

683
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 4: game changes at that point, everything slows down, becomes more

684
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 4: of a half court game. There's fewer possessions, you know,

685
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 4: it's way more physical, less foul calls, all that stuff.

686
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 4: That's when I realized how much of an advantage it

687
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 4: would be for me to get a little stronger, not

688
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: assary like gain weight, but just be able to hold

689
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: my own. If I'm driving to lane, somebody knocked me,

690
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: I'm not just you know, falling over or you know,

691
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 4: you get double team, being to pass at all type

692
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: of stuff. The biggest thing was when I got down

693
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 4: into the lane, like I could not make that pass.

694
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: Three point.

695
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: I could couldn't get out there balls here. I couldn't

696
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 4: get in here and throw it over there. That's where

697
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: you know, you know, some of the deficiencies were so balancing,

698
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: like being strong, work on your care, all that stuff

699
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 4: that helps you, uh, you know, get through an a

700
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 4: two game season, get through the playoffs, and all that

701
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 4: just added to that foundation.

702
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: I feel like once I got stronger and I really

703
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: took the weight room serious, it was like I got

704
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: new superpowers.

705
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 4: Straight up, like from games, games too, you don't get

706
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 4: as tired like.

707
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: You got new super powers when you when you just

708
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: kind of add someone to your package. Like y'all first

709
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: championship run, like a lot of people didn't have y'all

710
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: like winning it, and not only the hey y'all winning it.

711
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: As soon as y'all got to the championship against Lebron,

712
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: it's like, oh no, ain't no way in.

713
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: Here, like just just take us through that. Just that

714
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: year when like everything just clicked.

715
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 4: I mean like it did the first year two years before,

716
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 4: when we first made the playoffs in twenty thirteen played

717
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 4: we beat Denver as a sixth seed and we lost

718
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 4: to San Antonio and six, And the next year we

719
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 4: lost to the Clippers in seven in the first round.

720
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 4: Everything had been been building in terms of, you know,

721
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 4: understanding who we were, what we needed to tweak a

722
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: little bit to take that next step. It was bittersweet

723
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 4: all the way around. Because I make sure I talk

724
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 4: about it every time we talk about that championship. Is

725
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: because those three years before with Mark Jackson as our coach,

726
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 4: right was so like valuable and instrumental to our success

727
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: because he established like a defensive mindset and like an

728
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 4: attitude and identity around us that when he passed the

729
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 4: torch off, I'll say that politely to Steve. Steve brought

730
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 4: another level of like an outside of perspective having watched

731
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 4: us for three years and his championship experience playing for Field,

732
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 4: playing for Popovich, playing with you know, MJ and Tim

733
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 4: Duncan to help us get there. And everybody's going to

734
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: talk about, like any championship team, what had to go

735
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: right for you to win a championship, no matter what

736
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 4: year it is, But all those things like you have

737
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: to be able to put yourself in position too for

738
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 4: the ball to bounce your way for you to you know,

739
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 4: even have an opportunity, uh in those series, to be

740
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 4: a serious threat, you know, to beat anybody in the league.

741
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 4: And that was a confidence that we had. So you know,

742
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 4: going through that that playoff run, nothing felt out of

743
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 4: the ordinary. But you also don't know what it takes

744
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 4: until you finally get right that that Game six in

745
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 4: Cleveland was just like an out of body experience because

746
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: you're trying to keep things normal. You're trying to you know,

747
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 4: not do anything, trying to win, you know, and everything

748
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 4: that goes right, you're like, oh, shoot, oh, oh, she

749
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: was about to win this thing, like it's a natural

750
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 4: of just progression of getting to the mountain top. So

751
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 4: that team was special too, Like one through fifteen, we

752
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 4: had a great mixture of a young core, some amazing

753
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 4: veterans that have been around the league for.

754
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 3: A while, and boys over there.

755
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 5: You know it's got But this is what I want

756
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 5: to know, like because like I felt like this even

757
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 5: though we didn't win it when we were in Phoenix

758
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 5: and you know, like you say, out of nowhere, we

759
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 5: were expected to be the last place in the Pacific.

760
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 5: So but like you get to that certain point in

761
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 5: the season where you know, you guys in the locker room,

762
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 5: y'all start looking around each other like wait a minute,

763
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 5: like it's like, is this this shit kind of was

764
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 5: doing this like and you know, like so like so

765
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 5: like you know, that year we jumped out one seas

766
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 5: two and twenty, it was a lot of back and

767
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 5: forth like they and it was like and it was

768
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 5: like at first we was like can we like and

769
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 5: then it was like every time you look up, we

770
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 5: icing with eight minutes to go, we blowing people up.

771
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 5: So like at a certain point, like three quarters through

772
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 5: the season, after we had them came out of all

773
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 5: start and we smoking people and everybody, I don't know

774
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 5: what's happening. We started to looking at each other like, fellas,

775
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 5: like this is real, this might be official.

776
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 3: So at what point?

777
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 4: To get to that point, you have to be so

778
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 4: locked in on the day to day that you can't

779
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 4: really you can let your mind drift a little bit, right,

780
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 4: but April may June so far away, like even where

781
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: we're saying right now, it's you know, we have forty

782
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 4: some games, so much model play exactly, Like like you said,

783
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 4: like you're so locked into that day to day to

784
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 4: win sixty two games in the season, Like that's hard,

785
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 4: and with the effort and the commitment and focus it

786
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: takes like you can't even allow yourself to think, like, oh,

787
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 4: what's a playoff matchup?

788
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 3: What to be?

789
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 4: Like what's that that time of the season. But everything

790
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 4: matters to get there. So it's dope to like to

791
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 4: hear that because you know, like even if you get

792
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 4: it done and you don't, the process is still the same, yea.

793
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 4: And you start to look at other teams in the league,

794
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 4: like who's the other best? All we match up? Nice?

795
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 2: Cool?

796
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 4: Like all we beat them in the regular season.

797
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: Cool.

798
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 4: It don't mean nothing until you get to the playoffs

799
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 4: and and go through that.

800
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: So could you have foreseen.

801
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 5: Having that type of season and that type of success

802
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 5: when you was going through the ankle injuries? And like

803
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 5: take us inside of that, because like we he' been

804
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 5: through injuries. I've been through injuries and that people don't

805
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 5: understand how hard that is to overcome and like for

806
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 5: you to overcome that to the level that you have,

807
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 5: because like you know, that was when like you obviously

808
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 5: didn't get a big deal because of that, Like you

809
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like that those things affected everything,

810
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 5: so and people don't know that us as humans, the

811
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 5: human part of us as an athlete, we doubt and

812
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 5: we questioned ourselves, especially when something happens over and over again.

813
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 4: Straight up, the one refreshing part of seeing Clay go

814
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 4: through what he went through these last two and a

815
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 4: half years is the reminder of, like, we all have

816
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 4: to work hard. All seasons are grind, you know, practices, travel,

817
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 4: like all the the stresses of being a professional athlete.

818
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 4: Rehab is the hardest thing I've ever done in my

819
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 4: entire life, bar none, two three times amount of time

820
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 4: that you put in, it's monotonous. You're usually isolated, like

821
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 4: it's just you wasting your team. Like that is the

822
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 4: hardest thing to deal with. So everything you just said,

823
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 4: like all you want to do is just play like

824
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 4: you don't really care what the context is. I just

825
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 4: want to be healthy enough to play basketball and what

826
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: it takes to get through injuries no matter what they are,

827
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 4: they test you, they test everything, how much the game

828
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 4: matters your perseverance and all that type of stuff. So

829
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 4: when I was going through my angle stuff like no,

830
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 4: I couldn't even you know, imagine the hest that we

831
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 4: would get to because I was just going to the

832
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 4: rehab facility every day, seeing the same you know crew

833
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 4: who is so invested in my process, But I couldn't

834
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: see the light at the end of the tunnel. And

835
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 4: obviously it paid off, but it's it's one of it.

836
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: It is the hardest thing you have to go through

837
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: as an athlete, no matter what the injury is.

838
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: How was it playing against and they almost finna beat

839
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: you the year before? And then that first game with

840
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: you Clay KD and y'all standing for a jump ball, like, Oh,

841
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: for the fuck, somebody up this year?

842
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: N he actually is here. It's gonna go down, Like,

843
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: how was that? We chie like that play with that

844
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 3: look when y'all got on side.

845
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 5: Play the video game, I hold on, I'm just say

846
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 5: not appreciating this one actually counts if you get the

847
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 5: words on video.

848
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 3: Games to get who playing.

849
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 4: I know, I forget we played that first Roar season

850
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 4: game because I had that moment and you're like looking

851
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 4: around like, oh my god. There's also there's also like

852
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 4: I might have just internal just as the point guard

853
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 4: and like the guy that felt like I had to

854
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 4: get everybody involved. There's a little insecurity, like there's so

855
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 4: much talent. It's just's gonna work because I'm like, all right,

856
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 4: I'm starting to count shots, like, all right, he's gonna

857
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 4: get twenty, he's gonna get all right, said, all right,

858
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 4: where how are we gonna do this? So those starts

859
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 4: starting to creep in early in the process.

860
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 3: And if you think, if you look back.

861
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: That first year game one through, like Christmas Day game,

862
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,479
Speaker 4: it was not pretty like we were figuring all type

863
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 4: of inconsistent. Our record was solid, but it just didn't

864
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 4: look a lot of that. You know, I assumed a

865
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 4: lot of that responsibility and Draymond as well, like trying

866
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 4: to figure out how to to make a mess because you're, like,

867
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 4: you're in theory you shouldn't have to worry about Steph

868
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 4: Clay or Katie getting shots like that shouldn't be an issue,

869
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 4: and shouldn't worry about Draymond being able to facilitate a

870
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 4: lot of that. But it wasn't as seamless as as

871
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 4: people might think. And then he got hurt right after

872
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 4: All Star break and Matt Barnes joined the team, and

873
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: from that point, like kat was rehabbing, trying to get

874
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 4: ready for the playoffs, and we kind of had to

875
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 4: revert back to the year before and how we played,

876
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 4: and then knowing that everything was going to change again

877
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 4: when Katie got back right before the playoffs started, So

878
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 4: it was just a lot of stuff going on, but

879
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: we knew, like the talent was there obviously, and you know,

880
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 4: if we show up and do what we're supposed to do,

881
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 4: everybody locked in like we should not lose. But it

882
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 4: was also six seven months of that. Every day you're

883
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 4: trying to make sure it works because if you don't,

884
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 4: you're gonna look like some idiots. But I figet out.

885
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: Seeing him just like, you know, he's one of the

886
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: best players and he's in the same you know category

887
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: as you and Lebron and all these other guys.

888
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: But to see it in person.

889
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: All respect in the world to how great all time

890
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 4: great score he is, like he gets it any in

891
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 4: every type of way, and you see it on the court,

892
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 4: and like you try to compliment each other extremely well

893
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: in terms of how we were trying to win games.

894
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 4: The best part about it was practice because me and

895
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 4: him and Clay like trying to work on our craft.

896
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 4: Sometimes we work together, sometimes we be on our separate course,

897
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 4: but we always be watching each other and you always

898
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 4: be like trying to like want up, level up the intensity,

899
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 4: level up the approach to the game. And like that's

900
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 4: such a dope environment to come to work every day

901
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 4: because you got Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant myself, like we

902
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 4: all put ourselves in like a great score category. Like

903
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 4: you get to watch the work that goes into it

904
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 4: every day and haven't seen Kay, Like I've seen Klay

905
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: for ten years, but to see Kad and his approach

906
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 4: on the day to day, like I see the results,

907
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 4: I know like the work that he puts in, but

908
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 4: to see it, it's different. And that elevated all of us,

909
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 4: That's what he was saying.

910
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 5: We asked him about that when we had them one

911
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 5: he was like, dude, to just watch the way that

912
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 5: these dudes could shoot every like every single day. He

913
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 5: was like, that made me feel like like yo, like

914
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 5: when you in the gym and you got two dudes

915
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 5: that can shoot the way y'all could shoot. He like, bro,

916
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 5: I had to like like they made me become a

917
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 5: better shooter. Just trying to keep pace, Like if we're

918
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 5: doing any drills or this or that, y'all ain't missing.

919
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 4: He like he came in when you were going up.

920
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 4: You wanted to find the best in your city, the

921
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 4: best wherever to go, find the best games because you

922
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 4: knew like that was gonna elevate. You couldn't just live off,

923
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 4: you know, the crumbs of the competition, like you actually

924
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 4: got to go find the best because that's gonna sharpen

925
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 4: your tool. Kid even more, did you know Clay before

926
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 4: he got to know it? So Clay new seth before

927
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 4: they were on the same U nineteen team and they

928
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 4: went to Think New Zealand and they won gold. I

929
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 4: knew a little bit about Clay through him, and then

930
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 4: he got drafted. That was the first time I actually

931
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 4: met him when it came out to the bay the other.

932
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: Night, just to see Clay come out and he got

933
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: him a body or two. You know, you finished that

934
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:43,000

Speaker 3: Man?

936
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 4: I didn't see him come down because we talked about this.

937
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 4: He been out for nine hundred and seventy something days,

938
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 4: two and a half years, and he had talked about

939
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 4: He's like I can still we all know I can

00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 4: still shoot him, Like yeah, I'm gonna figure out how

941
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 4: to move get off the dribble stuff like yeah, I'm

942
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 4: sure that'll come. He's like, the last thing is gonna

943
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 4: come is meeting people at the round, you know, getting

944
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 4: to get a couple of bodies and like, yeah, don't

945
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 4: don't press yourself and stay within yourself. Like took that

946
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 4: man nine minutes and he was crossing over going to

947
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 4: the lane and he dunked it. Like I lost it.

948
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 4: I was, it's going crazy everybody. But then I saw

949
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 4: the replay again and you see him dunk and come down.

950
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 4: He got up and he was like, I'm back, So

951
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 4: it's uh, he's just getting to it.

952
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: He showed looked like he was going, look he was

953
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 2: getting this together.

954
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 3: Like fuck it.

955
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 4: He looks like that's exactly I'm not here.

956
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: I might as well.

957
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 4: It's uh, it's obvious. It's amazing to see him, see

958
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 4: him back and having back straight.

959
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: Up to having him back and all that. And I

960
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: thought that was just dope. How Draymond got in the

961
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: game and just to see all guys together, like, man.

962
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 4: That's just ten years and yeah, look that's crazy.

963
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: And the fans, man, just the love they give the man.

964
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: That's what he deserves, man, because he wanted them one.

965
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 3: He has become the most interesting man.

966
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 5: And if you like, like if my father was a

967
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 5: person that's claim chilling Captain Clay with his boat the

968
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 5: dog and reading the newspaper before the game like he

969
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 5: just to and from the Clay Day game that I

970
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 5: told you, man, the man left on his boat, man

971
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 5: came back on somebodies and then got back on the boat.

972
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 3: That's a boar.

973
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 4: He is unbelievable.

974
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: Some of the dopest nicknames come from this game. You know,

975
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: you got the Splash Brothers, you got babyface access. You

976
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: know which individual one you like the most, and was

977
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: it any other thing that you heard that you was like, oh, man,

978
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: that might be it.

979
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 2: And then Splash Brothers.

980
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 4: Came Splash Brothers at the top, Babyfaces on individual base.

981
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 4: That's the first one I had heard from myself when

982
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 4: I was in college, and I that one. That one

983
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 4: got the nod from code in terms of my killer instinct.

984
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was love.

985
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 4: I've heard the Human Torch before, which was was solid.

986
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 4: Other than that, that's that's the list right there.

987
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 3: I want to know, did you know Draymond before he

988
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 3: got to the team.

989
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: Uh?

990
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 4: No, I went. I met Draymond once before he got

991
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 4: to the team. Actually, my junior year, I was on

992
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 4: the All American team and I got to go to

993
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 4: the Final four as part of the ceremony or whatever,

994
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 4: and I watched him play in the Final four. I

995
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 4: think that was his freshman year him again until he

996
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 4: got to the Bay and from that point on, like

997
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: he obviously makes his presence felt no matter what really

998
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 4: walk into and that was the vibe as soon as

999
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 4: he stepped foot as a rookie out in the Bay.

1000
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 4: But that's my dog, Like the experiences we've had on

1001
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 4: off the floor, championships he won, and how we're growing

1002
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 4: on off the court, Like it's crazy just to know

1003
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 4: where he came from as a what thirty second gigs

1004
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 4: and not really no oposition he was going to play

1005
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 4: a lot of questions. Is like there ain't no questions.

1006
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: Now we know, like you can be on the team

1007
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: and like on the stat sheet, it don't show the

1008
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: impact that you actually brought to the game. And like

1009
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: with Draymond, they try to give him a lot of

1010
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: people try to not see what they don't see as

1011
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: basketball player. We as basketball player see, but let the

1012
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: casual fan don't see what he actually brings to the table,

1013
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: Like how important is he is to understand it to

1014
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: like over these years of these championships, like his verbal

1015
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: his leadership, and you know, we all a little bit crazy,

1016
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, but it's okay.

1017
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: You know, as long as you love us the way

1018
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 2: we is, everything is all.

1019
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 5: You won't find no championship team that ain't having somebody because.

1020
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 4: And exactly what with the recipe for a championship roster?

1021
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, about when not showing up on the stat

1022
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 4: sheet affected winning. That was a narrati everybody in from

1023
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 4: day one. And honestly, sometimes it wouldn't show up in

1024
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 4: the stat sheet. He played twelve fifteen, sixteen minutes and

1025
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 4: he'd have four rebounds and two points and maybe and assists,

1026
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 4: but you would he like you watched the game and

1027
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 4: really present everywhere. Yeah, and he could do that and

1028
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 4: just spot moments, you know, his rookie year and the

1029
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 4: second you got a little bit more playing time and

1030
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 4: more opportunity. But now, I guess you could argue his

1031
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 4: stat sheet stat line doesn't look like a printed All Star,

1032
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 4: but you know he's a stat sheet stuff for like

1033
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 4: he'll have he we always wait for like the Draymonds,

1034
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 4: the first and however many years to have you know,

1035
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 4: the created like second categories.

1036
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 3: He you do all that.

1037
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: He ain't a shot blocker, but he's there every time

1038
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: you get beat. Anytime any of them gos get beat,

1039
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: he's there every time. And that's not gonna show up

1040
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: on nobody's that sheet. Maybe in the field room, but

1041
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: if you got a guy that's gonna be there every

1042
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: time you beat.

1043
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 4: Beats as created that offense and like the stuff you

1044
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 4: try to do, if you take that same approach and

1045
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 4: you're at it like whatever that means defensively, that's his Draymond.

1046
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 4: Like he'll he'll see things, he'll make reads, he'll make

1047
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 4: rotations that don't make any sense in the scheme of

1048
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 4: how you would coach somebody, but he knows where to

1049
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 4: be at the right time, and you wouldn't even ask

1050
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 4: somebody to even try to do it. Like that's how

1051
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 4: crazy it is. Sometimes he'll guard three people in five

1052
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 4: seconds and affect every single part of their cuts, their

1053
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 4: moves and like affect the shot at the rim and

1054
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 4: all that type of stuff. And then your other point

1055
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 4: about leadership and just the competitive you know, fire and

1056
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,439
Speaker 4: the voice in the locker room holding people accountable. That's

1057
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 4: always been there and it's obviously, you know, gotten more

1058
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 4: experienced and more polished in terms of like how to

1059
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 4: be able to lead guys one through fifteen no matter

1060
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 4: what part of the season we're in, all knowing that

1061
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 4: everything that we're doing is geared towards winning the championship.

1062
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 4: And Yeah, anybody who knows basketball, anybody who's either played

1063
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 4: or watch the game or the hell that dude is,

1064
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:03,479
Speaker 4: it's all time great.

1065
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: How hard was it to repeat?

1066
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 5: Especially with you know, all the attention that was on

1067
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 5: you guys' team and the way everything came together, Like

1068
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 5: how difficult was that to manage?

1069
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 4: It's difficult because it makes the regular season just that

1070
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 4: much harder. When you come off a championship run. You

1071
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 4: go through the off season, everybody's hyping all up, celebrating

1072
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 4: all that. You come back to training camp, everybody's excited

1073
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 4: to be back, and then you're like, oh, eighty two

1074
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 4: games before the games that matter, right, but you know,

1075
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 4: you can't have any slippage on what got you there.

1076
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 4: And but it's just like it's human nature. It's hard

1077
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 4: to pace yourself through that eighty two and so that

1078
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 4: I mean, it's difficult, and it requires a lot of

1079
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 4: adjustments and readjustments throughout the season, a lot of different

1080
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 4: motivational tactics from coach to keep the season fresh and

1081
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 4: all that type of stuff. And then you get to

1082
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 4: the play off and that's when you're at your best

1083
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 4: because you've you've been there before. Especially we had the

1084
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 4: same team back for the most part. That chemistry, it clicks,

1085
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 4: and so that's why I'm so pressed, Like even though

1086
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 4: we didn't win in sixteen fifteen sixteen, like coming back

1087
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 4: and starting the year off twenty four and oh, it's

1088
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 4: like one of the craziest accomplishments we have because you

1089
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 4: have that height from the season, from the off season

1090
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 4: and all that and the championship glow and like to

1091
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 4: sustain that focus for as long as we did and

1092
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 4: you know that and we all know how that season went.

1093
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 4: Like that's pretty impressive.

1094
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: Do your on purpose, because I'll be seeing like a

1095
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: lot of guys when they they get to getting in,

1096
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: they in, they shit, they get to you know, making

1097
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: them tough faces and you know, flexing and all that stuff.

1098
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: But you you smile, you smile like it's a thing

1099
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: when you get your ass. But you see the NF

1100
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: being tough, but like you like he's just smiling and

1101
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: he kicking my hand. Why you chose the approach of smiler?

1102
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 4: It's my natural like just disposition. I have fun no

1103

1104
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 4: I was talking to Jordan Poole actually today and he

1105
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 4: was he asked me, like, Yo, what's your take on

1106
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 4: on trash talking? I actually thought about it. I was like,

1107
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 4: most of my trash talking is reactive, like if you

1108
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 4: say something to me, I'll say something back. But I'm

1109
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 4: not out here like Huffy poff and wolfing. But I

1110
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 4: was like, I'm good for a facial expression or a

1111
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 4: smaller That's that's my trash talking, like in terms of

1112
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 4: when I'm feeling good and enjoying myself and I know

1113
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 4: I did something like that that the smiles gonna come

1114
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 4: out or face.

1115
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:40,560

00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 5: I'm on the record, whether it's a NBA TV turner

1117
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 5: is somewhere talking about how I would have been fault

1118
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 5: him if I had to play him, and responsibility got

1119
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 5: make all the facial expressions.

1120
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 3: I don't care even like you, you ain't gotta be

1121
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 3: doing it at me. If I'm guard when you did it,

1122
00:53:59,200 --> 00:53:59,520

00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 5: I took it that way like personally, no, like I

1124
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 5: don't look around running and doing all this. Then he

1125
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 5: goes smile and ship me. I'm like, somebody better trip

1126

1129
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 5: I decided I was gonna.

1130
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 3: Find show true so true.

1131
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 1: One year after y'all play every game, I look forward

1132
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: to y'all yo, your press conference because miss Riley what's

1133
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: on the press conference? And it just made my day

1134
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: every time I seen y'all play, and just to see

1135
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: her talking, I'm waiting to see her talk like it's

1136
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: inside the NBA.

1137
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 3: How was that for you?

1138
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: And you know I seen your son give Clay the

1139
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: ball at the end of the story, you went through

1140
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: them locker rooms and you'd have been in that playground

1141
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: environment of an NBA arena to bring your kids and

1142
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: and see your kids enjoying it.

1143
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 4: It gives me so much's perspective in life just in general,

1144
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 4: because we talked so much about basketball and accolades and

1145
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 4: experiences and the process and all that that is like

1146
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 4: so insignificant compared to the joy you see on your kids'

1147
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 4: face when they get to have an experience. You get

1148
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 4: to share that a little bit of you with them

1149
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 4: in that environment. And like you said, because I have

1150
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 4: videos of like monkey boats, carry me like an airplane

1151
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 4: through the hornet locker room when I was like four

1152
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 4: or five, and you know, sitting on Zoe's lap at

1153
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 4: three point contests, like those type of experiences that I

1154
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 4: don't necessarily remember, but I know like that was a

1155
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 4: part of just me having an amazing experience a child,

1156
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 4: and how how blessed I was and all that so

1157
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 4: be able to give that to them. It's also a

1158
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 4: bittersweet because it reminds me how old I am now.

1159
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 4: It's like you see them get it. You know, I

1160
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 4: say older all relatives speaking, but it's just like, no,

1161
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 4: I'm my daughters who was at the press conference is

1162
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 4: now about to turn ten. Yeah, hold on, she ain't

1163
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 4: want to come to locker room the work because she

1164
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 4: got her own thing going.

1165
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 3: You got.

1166
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 4: I missed the day. It's special though, for sure, And

1167
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 4: for them to actually my son, he threw the ball

1168
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 4: to Clay, said congratulations. Then he waited for two days.

1169
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 4: He said, give me the ball back, I want to

1170
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 4: play basketball. I was like, I love that.

1171
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 3: I love that. I'm proud of self.

1172
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: You are like to see his journey and to see

1173
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: him on this level like he here, he ain't going nowhere,

1174
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: like he here, and he's gonna be here for a

1175
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: long time shooting that thing too. You made school figure like, oh,

1176
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: it's in the blood now we gotta we can't let

1177
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 1: herself go through this this mug and go to Davidson

1178
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: or that.

1179
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 3: He gotta go. He went.

1180
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 4: We went to the same high school my senior year.

1181
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 4: We played on the same team as the sophomore year.

1182
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 4: So when I got, you know when to Davidson and

1183
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 4: all that conversation started. It was the my sophomore year

1184
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 4: in college that he was a senior in high school.

1185
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 4: And so he's like going through the same recruiting process

1186
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 4: and all that and the same thing was happening, and

1187
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 4: he ended up at Liberty University fresh somewhere else. Freshman year,

1188
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 4: he played at Liberty University in the Big South, so

1189
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 4: it was exact same kind of situation, but for him,

1190
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 4: they played crazy defenses against him in their conference, like

1191
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 4: the boxing one triangles and two, like all that stuff

1192
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 4: to take him out because he was killing like his

1193
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 4: whole year. After his freshman year was over, him and

1194
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 4: my dad were talking about like, yo, knowing how you

1195
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 4: know steps you know? Career. Davidson went like, if you're

1196
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 4: not playing on the tournament and not making that run, like,

1197
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 4: can you actually get enough attention to get yourself a

1198
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 4: chance to play in the league. And for him, like

1199
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 4: he's such a confident dude, He's like, just get me

1200
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 4: on that stage, the high d one situation. I'm gonna

1201
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 4: show you people I'm about He got in, got Coach

1202
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 4: K's attention, transferred and did his thing for three years.

1203
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 4: Is there And to see him go through that process

1204
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 4: and then get hit with an injury coming out of

1205
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 4: his senior year where he missed the draft process and

1206
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 4: all that and having to kind of start from scratch

1207
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 4: makes me even more proud of what he's accomplished because

1208
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 4: his path was even more uncertain than than mine in

1209
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 4: terms of having to go on a training camp deal

1210
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 4: and go to you know, two different g leagues. He

1211
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 4: had I think four different ten day call ups before

1212
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 4: he got his first deal in Sacramento, and then once

1213
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 4: he got an opportunity. He's always like, just give me

1214
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 4: an opportunity and I'll prove myself and I'll show y'all

1215
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 4: you know I'm cable playing on this level and then

1216
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 4: from there the rest is history. He's gotten better every single.

1217
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 3: Year year, every year. He's a go to guy.

1218
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 4: Like he's a playmaker. He obviously can shoot the ball,

1219
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 4: can defend, and it's just why to know, like, like

1220
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 4: you said, he's here, he's he's a vet.

1225
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,360

Speaker 1: to do what he do and make it on that level,

1227
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,240

Speaker 4: I ain't know.

1245
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: We always want our name in the rap, you know,

1246
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: Steph Curry with the shot, one of the biggest artists

1247
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: in the world, you know, and all that. Just to

1248
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: hear your names and the culture, you know, it's part

1249
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: of us. That's like the process of being the man,

1250
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Like hearing your name and to hear like Drake and

1251
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: just other guys say your name and songs Like how

1252
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: did that feel for?

1253
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 4: I don't know how to put that in word. It's

1254
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 4: surreal because like the first one, they don't nobody ever

1255
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 4: call you and tell you like yo, just.

1256
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 5: Up understand like he didn't leveled up so far that

1257
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 5: they passed like his wife and stuff in raps because yeah,

1258
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 5: like it ain't just.

1259
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 3: Him At this point, I talk about Cardi b.

1260
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 4: She had a line like, uh, I think it's I

1261
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 4: want to get married, Like the Curry's stuff and he should.

1262
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 4: But we is more like, remember I remember that, I

1263
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 4: said that. That's that's another But me and Drake actually

1264
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 4: talked about it because I was I asked, asked that question.

1265
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 4: You ain't like giving heads up. It's just you know,

1266
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 4: them dropping this bar, naming it the whole deal and

1267
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 4: obviously that song is unreal. But just to know like

1268
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 4: how much they're inspired and appreciate what you do, that

1269
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 4: to the point where they it's on the top of

1270
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 4: the mind when they're in the studio doing the whole

1271
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 4: process and all that, so that that respected so much

1272
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 4: back and forth. So I do need somebody to get

1273
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 4: like the playlist going of every just had that in

1274
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 4: the archives.

1275
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 5: That's that's that happened soon. Just up, somebody gonna run that.

1276
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 5: Somebody run that for me right quick. This this is

1277
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 5: what I want to know because I you know, born

1278
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 5: and bred. I'm a Chicago kid. So I take offense

1279
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 5: to hearing that you think your Warriors team was it

1280
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 5: with or without KD.

1281
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 3: With k I'm not really tripping.

1282
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 5: I just want to be sure little world right now,

1283
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 5: you said y'all could beat MJ and the Bulls.

1284
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 4: I said it, and I told her the floor is yours, explained,

1285
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's the best place of sick because

1286
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 4: I could be right, I could be wrong, and ain't

1287
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 4: everybody nobody find out, you know. But the best part

1288
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 4: is I talked the m J of the summer when

1289
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 4: I did an interview with him talking about golf. Ironically,

1290
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 4: he would be disappointed. I think if I didn't have

1291
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 4: that confidence in my team, because if anybody is going

1292
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 4: to try to measure up with him in the Dynasty

1293
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 4: of the Bulls, you can't have no other attitude than that.

1294
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 4: So I love it though, because as any hooping anybody

1295
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 4: who watched that team, you know how great they were

1296
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 4: and how great he is the greatest ever. Like, what

1297
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 4: are we talking about.

1298
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna be on the record. I'm going with MJ.

1299
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 3: And at least is it? I mean, can we get there?

1300
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 4: Because I said Ward, dubs and six, which like you

1301
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 4: gotta give us.

1302
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: A Jordan, don't go seven gonna do that.

1303
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna.

1304
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 5: Mike listen, Mike, don't listen. This is what they gotta

1305
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 5: understand when we start. This is what I tell people

1306
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 5: we started talking about. I ain't gonna go into all

1307
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 5: of this, But I'm just saying they shouldn't have asked

1308
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 5: me the question. That's right. They shouldn't have bro just

1309
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 5: like when we like he said he how many times

1310
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 5: he been there?

1311
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 3: Six? How many times? Six? Like listen, I'm from.

1312
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 5: Chicago, where we all still firmly believe had he not

1313
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 5: taking that break, we running eight nine of them were

1314
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 5: sitting there, like when he came fresh out, when he

1315
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 5: came from baseball and came back, we said, we want

1316
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 5: I'm talking, he ain't played.

1317
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 3: We said I'm back. We said we won.

1318
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 5: That's how we felt, and we thought in Chicago, like

1319
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 5: he back, we want Scotty still there were good, like it's.

1320
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 4: Over something about me just want I just want to

1321
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 4: know what that felt like, because like I grew up

1322
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 4: watching the Hornets and I love my dad. That's a difference.

1323
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 4: It's just a different fan experience. Right. It's a new

1324
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 4: team and got to the second round a couple of times,

1325
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 4: but you know, like that confidence.

1326
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 3: Is a fat Every person in the city felt like that.

1327
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: We said we won, right, so that means you definitely

1328
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: remember them. L J Grandmama commercials and all that stuff.

1329
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Those are the best man between.

1330
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 3: You had the part.

1331
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 4: I had the alonzo H crazy man, she's getting a

1332
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 4: shot off mugs my dad Ken Gill, a squad.

1333
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 3: Shot.

1334
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you, Uh, You're the only person that

1335
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: get played the way you you play. You've seen all

1336
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: kind of defenses, like different strategies. How is that to see,

1337
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: like the biggest league ever, the highest level ever, I'm

1338
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: the only person in this.

1339
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 2: League getting guarded like this. And sometimes that can be.

1340
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, at your height, at your length,

1341
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot of guys at your size that they

1342
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: can try to throw at you, double team you, or

1343
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: not let you do that.

1344
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 2: And no, guys just haven't got to that level yet.

1345
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 2: They don't play the way you play.

1346
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, it's it's respect and knowing what I'm

1347
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 4: capable of on the floor. It's weird. I don't know

1348
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 4: if I'm wired different. It's one time that I kind

1349
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 4: of gave into it and it's like, yo, what what

1350
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 4: is going on? That was during the finals when they

1351
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 4: ran Toronto ran the Box and one and I'm looking

1352
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 4: around like, yo, were in the finals right right? This

1353
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 4: is college and how what's going on? The one time

1354
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 4: I was looking around like what's going the rest of

1355
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 4: the time, it's like a challenge, like in terms of

1356
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 4: how can I adaptive all figure out something different because

1357
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 4: like you said, you know six three six three wingspans

1358
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 4: like creating space For me, it's different than the other

1359
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 4: guys in terms of being able to get your shot

1360
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 4: off and find different ways to score at the rim,

1361
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 4: mid range, the three, all that type of stuff. So

1362
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 4: you know, I love the style of being able to

1363
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 4: play on and off the ball and like just the

1364
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 4: chaos that you can create even if I don't have it,

1365
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 4: Like those possessions are mad funder me. Just you get

1366
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 4: off of it. You run on the lane, come off

1367
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 4: a screen, two people come with you, somebody a lay

1368
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 4: up like that brings joy to like the way that

1369
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 4: I approach the game. So it's always gonna be an evolution.

1370
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 4: The rest of my career is just trying to figure

1371
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 4: out ways to stay impactful.

1372
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 3: That's the cheat code right there. That's where he's a

1373
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 3: cheat code, because.

1374
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 5: I'm serious, Like just what you just said, like you're

1375
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 5: gonna take the ball from right Like okay, well I'm

1376
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 5: gonna go turn into Reggie Miller and reality and run

1377
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 5: around a million times and screensy, but then I could get.

1378
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 3: The ball and b A, I would a ratchet.

1379
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 2: I know if I was going ahead with I hate

1380
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 2: the fucking floursh screen.

1381
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 3: He come out that bucket. He's just looking like this

1382
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 3: and he just I'm like, man, what he come? He

1383
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 3: just came off the screen and he acted like right back.

1384
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 2: So flash screen, like those flash screens be killing fuss.

1385
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 4: When when I broke the record, that was one thing

1386
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 4: I want to make sure I now, let's just you know,

1387
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 4: the people that sacrifice their body like to set the

1388
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 4: screens for me because I can be as fast as

1389
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 4: I want to be running off the screens, like between

1390
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 4: Draymond and uh Bogat d le uh essus the zill

1391
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 4: yuh most spaces I'm leave somebody out. But I had

1393
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,840

1394
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 4: it all, it all works together.

1395
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 5: The biggest year that I could liken too when I

1396
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 5: can even try and compare like I did when I

1397
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:34,959
Speaker 5: was in Phoenix, right.

1398
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 3: When we first started just letting it go.

1399
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 5: It was the first year I would get seventeen three

1400
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 5: point ten sometimes eighteen like our legit would come down

1401
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 5: and be like I look at it, like you know

1402
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 5: how you know your boys on the other team, we'd

1403
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 5: be standing fire, Like next time I touched that things

1404
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 5: going up, I don't.

1405
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 3: Care where it's at right, so look, you know, be laughing.

1406
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 5: Like, I promise you, I didn't man that thing that

1407
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 5: skipped to me before I picked up off the ground.

1408
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 5: And so look what I see from you, like I

1409
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 5: see sometime when you get in the real and I

1410
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 5: promise you. I used to do this sometimes when I

1411
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 5: was in Phoenix, cause I had a lot of games

1412
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 5: with seven six. So if I feel like i'm hot, yeah,

1413
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 5: I play with it, like okay, this next one, I'm

1414
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 5: about to shoot this thing so high to the rafts.

1415
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 5: Like I'm asking because I feel like I've seen you

1416
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 5: do that. I'm asking to make sure because I know

1417
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 5: sometimes he comes down and blah blah blah thnk.

1418
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 4: He just I'm like, hold up, there's a little bit

1419
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 4: of that game in the game.

1420
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 5: I'm telling because you're feeling yourself so much like I

1421
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 5: want it if I could.

1422
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,799
Speaker 4: Do this when you have that of a rational conference

1423
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 4: that you don't care the results. She was like, I'm

1424
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 4: just trying.

1425
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 3: I had a lot of that, A lot of that.

1426
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 3: I'm telling you.

1427
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 5: When you got that, coach ain't gonna say nothing, shout

1428
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 5: out coache boy, I ain't gonna say nothing.

1429
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 3: Ain't no bad shot.

1430
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 4: That's a different that's a different level you get to.

1431
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 3: I like that telling you. I like that.

1432
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 5: Was it the irrational confidence or was it the way

1433
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 5: teams regarding you that led you to shooting forty footers?

1434
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 5: Cause where like being drew you like like you, I

1435
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 5: know you the initiate of it. But Dame and y'all

1436
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 5: we call y'all range ropy'll you know what I'm saying, Like,

1437
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 5: y'all boys anywhere coming, y'all got in the gym right,

1438
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 5: Like how did it Legit come to the point, all right,

1439
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 5: I'm about to come across the.

1440
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 3: Half court and crack.

1441
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 4: You arranged from first, maybe one or tiers, but mostly

1442
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 4: the rational conference of work that you put in. And

1443
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 4: then it became a reaction to how defensive guardian, Like

1444
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 4: where is the most amount of space? And you have

1445
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 4: to balance those too, because yeah, everybody got space twenty

1446
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 4: eight feet, but it's at a good shot. It came

1447
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 4: with time and it was just a natural progression of

1448
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 4: my game throughout the years, and then once you hit

1449
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 4: a couple though, and you like, it's not the nain't luck.

1450
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 4: It's like once you establish you know, this is where

1451
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 4: I'm at. Like, that's a good feeling to have knowing

1452
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 4: that you can surprise defenses no matter what, because it's

1453
01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 4: hard to defend that show.

1454
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 5: One of my favorit once is when I think it

1455
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 5: was against the Clippers. I think it was against the Clippers.

1456
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 5: You didn't zip zam bloom and did a turn around

1457
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 5: and steve like no and didn't hit it.

1458
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 4: He like he walking back on that was coaches first year.

1459
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 4: That was fourteen fifty seasons first year and he's trying

1460
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 4: to come in and implement the system. But how did

1461
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 4: that That man hit the open guy? Every something good

1462
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 4: is gonna happen, and I must have not heard that

1463
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 4: near that lesson. So his like he's coming in with

1464
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 4: a certain perspective, and that was I didn't get to

1465
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 4: see his reaction in real time. I saw it afterwards,

1466
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 4: So it was beautiful knowing there's been plenty of times

1467
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 4: where he's done that and I missed and he's like

1468
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 4: then I look over there and my bad bad, but uh,

1469
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 4: more times it works out.

1470
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: Of course you're saying your dud, But who's some of

1471

01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 3: I want to be like that person.

1474
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 4: Steve Ash and Reggie Miller were the two guys that

1475
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 4: I watching as I got older, I felt like, oh

1476
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 4: I could kind of combined the two and and morph

1477
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 4: in the one. I mean, everybody love m J. Everybody

Speaker 4: As a fan, as a fan is somebody who just love,

1481
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,560
Speaker 4: you know, like creativity, competition, and just basketball at the

1482
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 4: highest level. Like those two guys.

1483
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Who was the one person people might not really know

1484
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: or they might not be the biggest fan of was like, man,

1485
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: he it was something about him.

1486
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 3: I just loved him.

1487
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 4: You know what's funny, I'm forgetting it.

1488
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 3: Uh.

1489
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 4: What was Martin that played for Sacramento.

1490
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 3: Kevin? Yeah, like that kind of wind up John.

1491
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 4: So he was a dude that had like nobody would

1492
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 4: teachers for him, right, but for some reason, every time

1493
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 4: you got your guard him and you knew like, I'm like,

1494
01:11:58,439 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 4: you know, I might get a block to night because

1495
01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:01,560
Speaker 4: he gonna do like this and I don't get to

1496
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 4: swipe down on it and everything. It was like we

1497
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 4: have like we call him the Warrior All Star Team.

1498
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 4: It's the five guys that when you play against him,

1499
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 4: they have career nights every night, like Brandon Jennings was

1500
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 4: on that, Kevin Martin was on that list like every night,

1501
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,759
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I just love the way. How uncanny

1502
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 4: it is that you can get your shot off and

1503
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 4: do it with such an unorthodox form, but we know

1504
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 4: it's coming and you still do it. Like he was

1505
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 4: a dude that I just appreciate. And he was a

1506
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 4: Southern Conference guy. He went to Western Carolina, so I

1507
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 4: got to Uh, I ain't play against him, but we

1508
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:36,719
Speaker 4: had that special bond.

1509
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 3: Special bond tell me this, like how do we feel?

1510
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 5: I know, I know you're a humble, humble dude, right,

1511
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 5: but how do it feel to get to the point

1512
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 5: to where people feel like you changed the game of basketball,

1513
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 5: like globally, like you changed the way A little kid

1514
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 5: like Mike had guys going out there trying to be

1515
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 5: like Mike and do crazy dunks and layers like now,

1516
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 5: I don't care where you go, you turn on balls life.

1517
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 5: Any of the WHO Mixtape all this stuff. You go,

1518
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 5: you see kids trying to be Steph Curry trying to

1519
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 5: come down pool from wherever. Whether it's they had any

1520
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 5: business doing it or not, you got the whole world

1521
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 5: trying to do that.

1522
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna use this moment, get on my soapbox and

1523
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 4: stop tagging me and all these horrible basketball clips. And

1524
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 4: people take a bad shot, ruin the game. I did

1525
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 4: not tell you to shoot. I did not say there

1526
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 4: was one the other day. Quickly took a shot in transition.

1527
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 4: I probably would have shot that shot, but I did

1528
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 4: not tell you. And they just tagging left and right,

1529
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 4: left and right, like, yo, you've ruined the game. Thanks

1530
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 4: like thanks to I'm like.

1531
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 3: Yo, you're the goro. They send them all to you.

1532
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 4: It's funny, though, because I appreciate the ability to change

1533
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 4: way people approach the game is unreal, because the three

1534
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 4: point shot and just shooting the basketsketball is it's a

1535
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 4: skill that everybody can work on, Like you can get

1536
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 4: better at that, Like I truly believe that how much better?

1537
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 4: Who knows? But not everybody can just go do cafes

1538
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 4: and feel like you can get a forty inch vert.

1539
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 4: Nobody can grow six inches, Like you can shoot the ball,

1540
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 4: and no matter what level you play, what league it is,

1541
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter, like every like everybody, that's a common

1542
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 4: thread amongst basket players. You have to be to shoot

1543
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 4: the ball, so to have affected that skill set in

1544
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 4: the game, which is probably the most important in the game.

1545
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 4: Like that's dope. And it's also the responsibility of being

1546
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 4: able to teach the next generation and make sure that

1547
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 4: that messaging is there for them that that is possible

1548
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 4: like stretch the imagination the creativity of what you can

1549
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 4: do on the basketball floor. But don't skip you see

1550
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 4: me over here, don't skip this part. This part is

1551
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 4: the work.

1552
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what to me, that's what separate like

1553
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 5: when you when you get in the class, Like it's

1554
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 5: not a lot of people that can get that set

1555
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 5: about them, Like you didn't say it, but like to

1556
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 5: have people saying, oh you like you think about it.

1557
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 5: It's like who will kareem? MJ doctor J. You know

1558
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, magic the girls got like your dirt.

1559
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 5: Like though it's not a lot of dudes who could

1560
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 5: say like saying you want m vps, want Championshooters. But

1561
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 5: to say that, like Hey, this dude changed the game globally.

1562
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 5: Got Like when Iverson came, he had the whole entire world.

1563
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,759
Speaker 5: I don't care if you could do it, like everybody

1564
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 5: was all over here with Like that's like some once

1565
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 5: in the lifetime type stuff like where you get get

1566
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 5: that type of you know, credit for something and then

1567
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 5: you literally see it.

1568
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 3: You look around and it's everybody doing that.

1569
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 4: It's it's I mean, hopefully's inspirational. I hate to use

1570
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 4: that term, but it's it's something that would live for forever.

1571
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 4: I think in terms of how kids approach the game

1572
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 4: and uh and what they can imagine themselves doing.

1573
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: So it's good for the game cause like man, back

1574
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: in the day, they were shooting four threes. The whole

1575
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: team was shooting four threes the game and just showed

1576
01:15:58,160 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: that's what the reason the quarter is that big.

1577
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 3: You can use all of it.

1578
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 5: Like every key, every player won had their own shoe.

1579
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 5: You then went from own shoe to the whole damn brand.

1580
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 3: Like what do that feel like? Like you right now

1581
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 3: got a Curry brand, Scully you on, like we got

1582
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 3: on doing you go with all it?

1583
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 2: Sure it's war especially where we're at.

1584
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 4: I got the win or no cut looks. So it's

1585
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 4: an amazing opportunity to continue to bring people along this

1586
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 4: journey with me cause I got my first signature shoe

1587
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 4: in twenty fifteen. To now have your own brand that

1588
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 4: you get to you know, inspire kids, inspire people to

1589
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 4: change their communities in the way that they can. And

1590
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 4: that's such a universal sentiment that anybody can adopt because

1591
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 4: you can fill in the gap of what that means

1592
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 4: and who you get to affect an impact, and that's

1593
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 4: what the brand is all about. And then you know,

1594
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 4: from an athlete perspective, like the signature shoe business, we

1595
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 4: all know it's hard, like it's a it's every year

1596
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 4: you got to continue to elevate and continue to evolve

1597
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 4: and how it's you set standards high. So that process

1598
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 4: has been unbelievably like fun and rewarding. And to know

1599
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 4: that I'm like my ninth signature shoe. We got to

1600
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 4: run a shoe, a lifestyle shoe. We in the golf

1601
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 4: now and everything that we do and we sell is

1602
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 4: tie into giving back to the community to help use sports,

1603
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 4: continue to service you know, the next generation, and provide

1604
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 4: opportunities for kids to play and have safe places to

1605
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 4: go play too, So everything about it is authentic to me.

1606
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 4: I know, we're just getting started. Like that's the dope part, Like,

1607
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 4: you know, it could be something that's around for a

1608
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 4: long time.

1609
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 1: How does it feel to be a power cup? Like

1610
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: be a part of a power cup? Like a lot

1611
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: of a lot of.

1612
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 4: That's a great I mean follow up to the question.

1613
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 4: But it's an interesting position because now many people know

1614
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 4: our beast. Like we met in high school at youth group. Honestly,

1615
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 4: you know, started dating my after my freshman year in college,

1616
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 4: and everything was just a natural progression of just sharing

1617
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 4: life and living and figuring it out on the fly

1618
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 4: together and you ride that wave together and your bond

1619
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 4: is so tight and all the experiences you do together

1620
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 4: that it's really hard to understand as the rocket ship

1621
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 4: kind of goes through in basketball success and her career

1622
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 4: success all kind of a line how you're received and

1623
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 4: what the conversations are and like whatever power couple means

1624
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 4: and that that respect. What we pride ourselves on is

1625
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 4: trying to be as real as possible and understand like

1626
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 4: people are inspired by you know, couples that have quote

1627
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 4: unquote figured it out or uh stand for something and

1628
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 4: have you know, something to share, But we don't put

1629
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 4: ourselves on that platform stuff like you know of what

1630
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 4: that means. It's just living life and sharing you know,

1631
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 4: bits and pieces of who we are. So I appreciate

1632
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 4: that so much because if you think about like everything

1633
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 4: we talk, I think that's happened. Like she's been by

1634
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 4: my side from day one, and I wouldn't trade that

1635
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 4: for the for the world. And now we have our kids,

1636
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 4: like we have a shared perspective on how we're trying

1637
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 4: to raise our kids. Miss miss all this chaos and

1638
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 4: the platform and the bright light, so you know, that's helpful.

1639
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 4: And obviously you know, you don't know what the future

1640
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,560
Speaker 4: is going to hold and and we're all trying to

1641
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 4: figure it out and adjust as you go through the

1642
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 4: different seasons in life. And we're gonna keep sharing that

1643
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 4: as much as we can.

1644
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: So we love the courage as a whole, you know,

1645
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 1: the whole family. So man, y'all keep on doing, y'all.

1646
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 1: We live and appreciate y'all. How y'all representing us. It's

1647
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: good to see you and your family doing y'all.

1648
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.

1649
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 3: Man. I want to know where are you a credit?

1650
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 5: Like the philanthropy and the selflessness of you and the

1651
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 5: giving back and every time you turn around, you doing

1652
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 5: something dope in the community, giving back, giving shoes, creating

1653
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 5: shoes for the little girl, when you know all of

1654
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 5: those different things, not taking the proceeds, giving the proceeds

1655
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 5: to this and that, Like we know that's rare, you

1656
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. I don't know that the you know,

1657
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 5: world really understanding. But where do you think you got

1658
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 5: that put in your heart to be that type of person?

1659
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 5: And like literally every time you turn around, I'm like,

1660
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 5: damn man, like this dude, Like, boy, every time you

1661
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 5: turn around, you're doing something dope for the for the

1662
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 5: community and stuff.

1663
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 4: What do you think you got to start of the

1664
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 4: philanthropic efforts and just to focus on it and making

1665
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 4: it priority. Started with my parents. My pops had computer

1666
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 4: learning centers and Charlotte, the Greater Charlotte area, and maybe

1667
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 4: two or three times a year he was opening up

1668
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 4: a new and me and my siblings would go volunteer

1669
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 4: and do all that. So I got to see like

1670
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,839
Speaker 4: how basketball could lead to an impact in the community

1671
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 4: that uh for a fan base and people that supported

1672
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 4: them on the court. He was able to support them

1673
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 4: right back. And so that's initiated everything that I've tried

1674
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 4: to do in doors that are open to me from

1675
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 4: the you know, my successes on the court, and you know,

1676
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 4: the platform to always, you know, find a way to

1677
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 4: think selflessly and try to give back and then you

1678
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 4: can bring people along that journey with you. And so

1679
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 4: that for me is special. But it's also like my

1680
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 4: faith is huge to me in terms of like I

1681
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,679
Speaker 4: knew I was giving a guy given skill and ability

1682
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 4: to play this game, and I love and an approach

1683
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 4: to it. But there's always, always, always gratitude for everything

1684
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 4: that I get, Like it's not me, Like I put

1685
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 4: it work in, but it's not me. And so if

1686
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 4: I can have an opportunity to leverage that in a

1687
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 4: positive way, I'm doing right by the blessings that I've

1688
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 4: been given. And so I have to make sure I

1689
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 4: say that out loud and make sure that that's a

1690
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 4: consistent thing, because you can get lost in the sauce

1691
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:46,759
Speaker 4: and the stuff.

1692
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 5: Pretty cool, truly. Now that's why I'm sitting there bringing

1693
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 5: this up. I'm saluting you from that standpoint because, like

1694
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 5: you say, we all been in the league and we

1695
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 5: know how like you say, you get busy and caught

1696
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,839
Speaker 5: up in all of this stuff. You know, somebody, especially

1697
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 5: your position, has got so many things going on, and

1698
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 5: for you to make that a focal point of yours

1699
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 5: to like you know what I'm saying, because a lot

1700
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 5: of people we get a lot of money, and we

1701
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 5: enjoyed and we do things. So it's it's super dope

1702
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 5: for us to see how much you do for everybody.

1703
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 3: Else with that.

1704
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's big. Absolutely, And then you think about like

1705
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 4: the community that has supported me and my family. I've

1706
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 4: moved to the Bay when i was twenty one years

1707
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 4: old and I've been there for thirteen years. I raised

1708
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 4: my family there, the fan base that support us, who

1709
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 4: taken thin and me and my wife were able to

1710
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 4: start a foundation called Heat Learned Play that services ninety

1711
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 4: percent of our work is done in Oakland around the

1712
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 4: next generation, setting up resources and the village around the

1713
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 4: talent that is all throughout that city. But the opportunity

1714
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 4: is not so it's another way to get back to

1715
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 4: represent Like Yo, basketball has been awesome. We've all had

1716
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,719
Speaker 4: amazing experiences. We celebrate championships. You've done all this stuff.

1717
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 4: This little orange ball has been the spark to that.

1718
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 4: But now you know it's gonna lead to you know,

1719
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 4: changing lives dramatically, and then that can be able to

1720
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:11,680
Speaker 4: pass the towards to somebody else. So I'm just doing

1721
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 4: my part.

1722
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: Show us about some of these famous, these family like shootouts, like, so,

1723
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: what is some of the days it was your daddy

1724
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: kicking for a long time.

1725
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 3: He always.

1726
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 2: Right where it's like, oh, he can't really fuck with.

1727
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 3: Me like that. I got that.

1728
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 4: I beat him in horse when I was thirteen, but

1729
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 4: he always he always like, you're only as good as

1730
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,560
Speaker 4: your last game. As he was, yeah, and so he

1731
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 4: was just waiting for the next hour. He actually he

1732
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 4: won the last one. It's all three of us, uh,

1733
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 4: in the backyard at the house in Charlotte. So he's

1734
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 4: like he is the reigning Curry champ. I guess right now.

1735
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 4: I hate I hate to admit that, but like I said,

1736
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 4: shooters can always shoot you. That's the thing I like

1737
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 4: and am. But I hate this same time as he's

1738
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 4: you know, he's doing color commentating for the Hornets. He

1739
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 4: probably shoots ten shots a year, but when them ten

1740
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 4: shots go.

1741
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 3: Up, they show it. I've seen it. I've seen it

1742
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,799
Speaker 3: look looking smooth. It's crazy.

1743
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 5: Listen, this is you could just sit here like, uh,

1744
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 5: spectate this part of the conversations because you ain't. You

1745
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 5: ain't got nothing to do. You know, a whole lot

1746
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 5: of thumbs, a whole lot of block shots, a whole

1747
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,919
Speaker 5: lot of but he ain't that one on three points competition.

1748
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Man, you can sit here.

1749
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 3: And so that's what I say. I did. You know

1750
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So we're gonna go like we had

1751
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 3: this conversation.

1752
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 5: You feel me like talk about when you get up

1753
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 5: there you sell on that little block what that feel like?

1754
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 5: Right when you know you won't deck when it's like

1755
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 5: the whole world about to watch you.

1756
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 3: You ain't. It's you in the ring.

1757
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 4: That's a different feeling, and you can't cross off the rack.

1758
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 4: It's a wild adrenaline rush because like you said, you

1759
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 4: know you got sixty seconds to get it in, and

1760
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 4: especially if you missed the first two or three, you

1761
01:24:59,400 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 4: feel like.

1762
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 3: You're called the person before like like.

1763
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a different thing, Like you know how different

1764
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 4: is than just shooting the basketball in the game, Like

1765
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 4: you say, it's just you on the stage. But once

1766
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 4: you get hot, though, that's that's one of the best

1767
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 4: feelings in the world. I was kids, you know, like, uh,

1768
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,760
Speaker 4: the two times I've wanted I went up was a

1769
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 4: little two times you get hot and you feel you

1770
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 4: hear the crowd and you know, like it's just you

1771
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:32,639
Speaker 4: and you just saying, how long can I keep this going?

1772
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 4: Get to the last right, I get to the last ball,

1773
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 4: So that is one of the best feelings in the world,

1774
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 4: especially when you know, like I was the last person

1775
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 4: to go, so I knew the number I had to hit,

1776
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 4: and like just that competition, I love it.

1777
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 3: I love it.

1778
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 4: I love it so much I'm probably never gonna do

1779
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 4: it again.

1780
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 3: When I was in my competition, you're right, I heard I.

1781
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,280
Speaker 3: I tell you, Shaq was right there when I come.

1782
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:57,799
Speaker 3: You came around to the last time on yourself.

1783
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 5: So I missed the first one, and then I hit

1784
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 5: the nine, the last nine straight. So after I hit

1785
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 5: about two, he began, yeah, yeah, you could just hear

1786
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 5: but I don't know why. I was like, I could

1787
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 5: hear him out of everything. You already know you loud,

1788
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 5: but he was like right there. Then you said, like

1789
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 5: you can hit the crack on huh. So then I'm

1790
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:18,519
Speaker 5: knowing like, Okay, I didn't know the score with I

1791
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 5: thought I had tied it when I when I hit

1792
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 5: all last, I thought I had tied.

1793
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 3: When I got to the.

1794
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 5: Seat, I said, yeah, I said that was two. I said, okay,

1795
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 5: I didn't credit that. The moneyball was too. I was like, okay,

1796
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 5: I got that was when. Uh that put me your

1797
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 5: head a cord for that year, I wanted you know

1798
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 5: what I'm saying that.

1799
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't feel to be uh top seventy five. We

1800
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: watched the ceremony for the fiftieth Greatest and lead the

1801
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:45,640
Speaker 1: seventy five Greatest was in there to be part of

1802
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 1: that next generation of seventy five Greatest us Like I.

1803
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 4: Mean, sometimes you just stare at the list and that

1804
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 4: it says enough for me, Like I don't know what

1805
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 4: it is. Oh oh kareem, I imagine man, like every

1806
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 4: I can't really put in the words just because like

1807
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 4: I watched that same ceremony, saw the Doe. I'm like,

1808
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 4: it's like the ten people I really didn't know. I'm like,

1809
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 4: but it's amazing just to know, like yeah, from that

1810
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 4: time and just everything that's happening in between there, and

1811
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 4: to think about the crop of guys that are still

1812
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 4: playing you got picked and the guys that just retired,

1813
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 4: like it's a special group to be a part of.

1814
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,719
Speaker 4: Like that's not even I don't think that does it justice.

1815
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 4: It's just it's something you never imagine until it happens,

1816
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 4: and something that every time you think about it or

1817
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 4: it is brought up, it will always bring the same

1818
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 4: smile on my face. Because Lee's only been around seventy

1819
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 4: five years. You think about it, just like you said,

1820
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 4: like how many players are coming Great Player.

1821
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: Seventy fifth anniversary and they're gonna pick twenty five players?

1822
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 4: Like what was your thoughts of that? Like, oh, do

1823
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 4: I got a chance of this? Like that was the

1824
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 4: first thought. And you got your people in your camp

1825
01:27:58,160 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 4: and all that who already started doing the list for.

1826
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 3: You, Like they got you, bro, they got you in there.

1827
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:16,679
Speaker 4: Ain't for another month. Man, nervous wreck the whole time.

1828
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 4: But once when you start thinking about it, it's like,

1829
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 4: I think I've done enough to get on there, And

1830
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 4: like until you actually hear hear your name on there,

1831
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 4: the full appreciation, the appreciation doesn't come because you can

1832
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 4: think about like the Clay and the guys that are

1833
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 4: like whatever seventy seven through ninety, Like, yeah, I agree,

1834
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 4: But it's also like there's so many amazing basketball players

1835
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 4: and you suit up with and against and all that

1836
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 4: type of stuff. So it's a special accomplisient.

1837
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 5: You gotta be excited for what, Like we don't even

1838
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 5: know what it's gonna be, but you know, All Star

1839
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 5: is gonna be some grand celebration. I don't know if

1840
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 5: you're gonna get some jackets or whatever. Y'all jackets might

1841
01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 5: be in store. I think somebody did ask for the measurements. Okay,

1842
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 5: they gotta get.

1843
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:04,759
Speaker 3: Some cause.

1844
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 5: When they go up, you're gonna be going and getting

1845
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 5: the shrine and it's gonna be that moment. I don't

1846
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 5: know they're gonna have everybody there or how they're gonna

1847
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 5: do it, but like that is like to know that

1848
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 5: you amongst them type of people is unreal, dude.

1849
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 4: I know, having people be there in person you like

1850
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 4: you see them on paper is one thing. Seeing like

1851
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 4: want the same court, that's whole another vibe. So we'll

1852
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 4: see what happens.

1853
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: How is it, like, you know, y'all go to the

1854
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 1: championships four out of five years or five hours. Yeah,

1855
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 1: that's too But how was the rebuild seeing these young

1856
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: guys come in the ain't about bringing a veteran in.

1857
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 3: Could we still there?

1858
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 2: It's like about a rebuild, not really a rebuild, but

1859
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 2: you agree with that.

1860
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 4: Because it was it was the injury part that took

1861
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 4: away the core that then forced you into a different

1862
01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 4: kind of situation really quick. For as many you know,

1863
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 4: good breaks as we have, we had a lot of

1864
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:06,720
Speaker 4: pad breaks at the end of the run, and you know,

1865
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 4: obviously Katie's injury and then him leaving. Clay's injury. Havn't

1866
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 4: you know missed now to you know two years I

1867
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 4: got broke my hand, missed five months. You know that season,

1868
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,640
Speaker 4: you understand the big picture of you know, it might

1869
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 4: look different. We still have our same core. If we

1870
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 4: can just get healthy, we're gonna have a shot. But

1871
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:30,560
Speaker 4: you don't know how to fill in the gaps, and

1872
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 4: like you know what it's going to take because especially nowadays,

1873
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 4: like player moving and all that stuff, and so it's

1874
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 4: so wild. You know, retooling is pretty hard. But then

1875
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 4: you get to this season, like, honestly, I didn't think

1876
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 4: we start off as as hot as we have, you know,

1877
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,560
Speaker 4: because we had like we knew we had what we

1878
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 4: what we needed, but chemistry takes a while to build.

1879
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 4: But we've tried to expedict that and now we're in

1880
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 4: a really good position to implement clay back hopefully get

1881
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 4: you know, James Wiseman in there. We got some really

1882
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 4: talented young guys mixed with.

1883
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 3: The cross looking at everybody said it was over like.

1884
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,280

1897
01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:47,960

1935
