Speaker 1: interview with Xavier Silas as well as our most recent
Speaker 1: episode with Bluecoats Ambassador of Basketball Joe Richmond under Delaware
Speaker 1: Bluecoats and also on the seventy Sixers podcast Network this week,
Speaker 1: changing it up a little bit it's not one guest,
Speaker 1: it's multiple guests with some quick hitting interviews. And that's
Speaker 1: because it's a best of the Bluecoats twenty twenty Meet
Speaker 1: the Team event at Wilmington brew Works, which took place
Speaker 1: back in late February in Joe Richmond, the aforementioned Joe
Speaker 1: Richmond and I sat down with a bunch of players
Speaker 1: and staff members, and for that reason, this could be
Speaker 1: maybe part one of two of our best of Meet
Speaker 1: the Team event, but stay tuned on that. Maybe we'll
Speaker 1: have another episode like this sometime down the road. On
Speaker 1: this episode, in particular, we will hear from Bluecoats team
Speaker 1: president Larry Meli, a couple of players after that, Justin Robinson,
Speaker 1: Dennis Clifford, and seventy six ers two way contract player
Speaker 1: Mariel shayok Up. First will be Larry Meli, the president
Speaker 1: of the Delaware Blue Coats. A fun conversation with Larry.
Speaker 1: As always, we talk a lot about the community and
Speaker 1: the Bluecoats, their place in the Delaware community. You might
Speaker 1: hear some of the background noise, and that's what you
Speaker 1: get when you have a team event, a fan event,
Speaker 1: you get some music in the background. I think in
Speaker 1: this interview. You might even hear some balloons popping and
Speaker 1: some NBA two K going on in the background, but
Speaker 1: some really good stuff with Larry Mela, the president of
Speaker 1: the Delaware Blue Coats. We've got Larry Mela coming over,
Speaker 1: the president of the Delaware Blue Coats. He eloquently addressed
Speaker 1: this crowd earlier. They were fired up for the Coats,
Speaker 1: big words Sunday. Eloquently, Larry, It's been a great day
Speaker 1: here with meet the team twenty twenty. What an atmosphere
Speaker 1: at Wilmington brew Works and what I've been astonished at
Speaker 1: the passion. So how have you seen the passion of
Speaker 1: this fan base grow over the years? Now second year
Speaker 1: at the field House and all that here in Wilmington. Well, look,
Speaker 1: first off, what a great space. Yes, awesome. If I
Speaker 1: wish I've lived down the streets. I would come here
Speaker 1: every night since our inception, Like we had three goals, right,
Speaker 1: It was the product on the floor, the experience we
Speaker 1: gave our fans and our partners, and what we're doing
Speaker 1: in the community. And when we started back in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: there was only fourteen teams in the league. Nobody even
Speaker 1: knew what the Chew League want double that now twenty
Speaker 1: eight hour of growing, the eight and growing and twenty
Speaker 1: nine next year in Mexico City. That's right and for
Speaker 1: us getting into the fabric of the community, knowing that
Speaker 1: the power of basketball can influence and impact so many people,
Speaker 1: opened so many doors, and each year we just tried
Speaker 1: to build on the last. It was always about progress,
Speaker 1: progress matter, and whether it was giving a kid a
Speaker 1: book who didn't have one, or helping a family who
Speaker 1: was homeless, or family that I was just looking for
Speaker 1: a meal, the field, the kids like that was all
Speaker 1: the stuff we were helping, trying to help facilitate and luckily,
Speaker 1: because of sports, people will gravitate for that and want
Speaker 1: to help. I think, UM to see us us now
Speaker 1: where literacy is our main program and we've given out
Speaker 1: over fifty thousand books thanks to Joe and his work.
Speaker 1: It's been amazing. And for me, Larry, you know, I
Speaker 1: live and breathe the blue Potes, I really do. If
Speaker 1: you if you cut me open out in blue coming out,
Speaker 1: I love it. Um. You've been here. UM, I can
Speaker 1: thank you publicly for allowing me to be here. UM.
Speaker 1: But like you talk about the community and a lot
Speaker 1: of people when they come to the great State of Delawa.
Speaker 1: I've been over twenty years, they say what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's a lot more talking than walking.
Speaker 1: What is it about you, guys, I mean you and Alex?
Speaker 1: What it really is it about you that say we're
Speaker 1: gonna walk it like we talk it? What was it
Speaker 1: that made the foundation of where we are? Well, it's
Speaker 1: a great question. I think part of it. Look, you're
Speaker 1: one of the first people I met, and um, and
Speaker 1: just meeting people like you in this community who are
Speaker 1: so passionate about making a difference in kids lives like
Speaker 1: that isires me, That inspires Alex, inspires our whole organization.
Speaker 1: So to see you on the ground making things happen
Speaker 1: like that, it was like, we can actually make a difference,
Speaker 1: Like we have a sport and a product and players
Speaker 1: and a stage that people can attention. And then when
Speaker 1: you're starting to see like people we're making actually making progress,
Speaker 1: doing some unbelievable things, you just want to keep it
Speaker 1: up for the momentum. And I mentioned that you addressed
Speaker 1: the crowd. Um you mentioned not every There's not a
Speaker 1: lot of cities that have a professional basketball team. So
Speaker 1: how special is it for Wilmington to have a pro
Speaker 1: basketball team in the NBA G League. And that's what
Speaker 1: I had said earlier there the NBA product as a whole,
Speaker 1: and count the G League the NBA, the w maybe
Speaker 1: in sixty communities, and Delaware is one of them. And
Speaker 1: I think to have a community where you could put
Speaker 1: their name on the chest of these guys, I think
Speaker 1: that's really something to take pride in it. I want
Speaker 1: to I want to give a shout out a d ETV.
Speaker 1: It's first year we are out there being a broadcast.
Speaker 1: But if you look at this event, it's not just
Speaker 1: the basketball staff and the sales staff is here. Everybody's
Speaker 1: a part of this today. And I think that was
Speaker 1: with me. There's a special data absolutely, and the whole
Speaker 1: G League is surrounded by this concept of the pursuit
Speaker 1: of a dream, and whether it's basketball players or front
Speaker 1: office staff, they have a chance to kind of develop
Speaker 1: themselves in their career and it's it's just unbelievable to
Speaker 1: be a part of them. Just so proud of all
Speaker 1: you both who's been a part of that process and
Speaker 1: building and developing your own careers. And we couldn't have
Speaker 1: done it without you. We could not have done it
Speaker 1: this year without d etv Um to get us out there.
Speaker 1: So it's uh, it's really been a special year across
Speaker 1: of course, as doctors, nurses and caregivers, and as neighbors
Speaker 1: and friends. Christiana Care is a partner in everyone's journey
Speaker 1: to greater health and well being. Why do they do
Speaker 1: it for the love of health? Is it Christianacare dot org.
Speaker 1: Once again, that was Bluecoats team president Larry Melie. And
Speaker 1: next up we have Justin Robinson followed by Dennis Clifford,
Speaker 1: both guys who at the time were in season acquisitions
Speaker 1: and at the time of the Meet the Team event
Speaker 1: in February at the end of the month, they were very,
Speaker 1: very new to Delaware at that time. We talk about
Speaker 1: video games, shoes, sneakers, and much more. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: Justin Robbinson take a seat or here at Meet the
Speaker 1: Team two twenties just then a four year player at
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, so high level college basketball. So you're obviously
Speaker 1: familiar with different fan bases and things like that and
Speaker 1: events like this I Meet the Team style events. So
Speaker 1: what are your favorite parts of a day like this?
Speaker 1: Getting to see the fans who support you. I think
Speaker 1: just being myself. I'm majored in communications, and I think
Speaker 1: I'm a relationship type of person and I can adapt
Speaker 1: to others really well. I think overall, just being at
Speaker 1: with a smile and meet new people on network and uh,
Speaker 1: let them know that they impact their life just like
Speaker 1: we impact theirs. It's just who I am and who
Speaker 1: I continue to be. Well, you know, we get a
Speaker 1: lot of the players on we get to talk about him,
Speaker 1: were in my head and talk about the kadomy. But man,
Speaker 1: a lot of people I wanted to want to know
Speaker 1: when you come up with them passes, don't don't bring
Speaker 1: up South Dakota. Don't bring up South Dakota. Joe, you didn't.
Speaker 1: You didn't hear. But he fired one into the stands
Speaker 1: that caught caught somebody in the face of South Dakota
Speaker 1: that wasn't. But they do. They always thinks to go
Speaker 1: that guy. It comes from everywhere, how they coming from
Speaker 1: from being out there in DC. And I know if
Speaker 1: you got a lot of guys up there and they
Speaker 1: got them handle games, yea, So maybe come up with
Speaker 1: the passes, man um. I think just overall all of
Speaker 1: my life, I'm always been able to see a play
Speaker 1: before it happens. Um, just having a little bit of
Speaker 1: an NBA experience in team know when some of the
Speaker 1: reads already helps. And I think the way that the
Speaker 1: organization knows and runs their their style of play in
Speaker 1: certain sponsors right for who I am, and I know
Speaker 1: where people are gonna be, so I'm having to fire
Speaker 1: it there and just having that read it's good for them.
Speaker 1: Hey Joe, are you left handed? By chance? We're both
Speaker 1: left handed, so you gotta get out of here, all right?
Speaker 1: Left is the way to go. All right, let's wrap
Speaker 1: up with one or two. You've been noted already by
Speaker 1: a couple of your teammates as maybe the biggest gamer
Speaker 1: or the best Call of duty player. Would you consider
Speaker 1: yourself the biggest gamer video game wise on the team? Easy?
Speaker 1: I think, uh think the transition I need to go
Speaker 1: explore a little bit more around. Actually, my mom's from Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: so I know a lot about Philly, but the Wilmington area,
Speaker 1: I'm not really familiar with what gaming no in terms
Speaker 1: of scrolling knowing what's around. But so I honestly, I
Speaker 1: just practiced. I thought you were looking for the gaming
Speaker 1: scene or something. I just practiced and go home and
Speaker 1: play video games or watch film. So it's all too
Speaker 1: about all right, Well, let's uh, let's keep him here
Speaker 1: for a second. You got something, I got a time
Speaker 1: I want to know, man like, well, like every time
Speaker 1: before a game, you know, you gotta get you get ready.
Speaker 1: You're in the locker room, but you get ready. We
Speaker 1: should go to music. We should go to music before
Speaker 1: a game. I go to music. Uh, probably Nipsey Hustle. Okay,
Speaker 1: a little Ronnie Richard meeko. Oh your meek mill dude.
Speaker 1: That's that Philly shout. Yeah, yeah, the moms Philly side here,
Speaker 1: Yes there, yes there, for sure. You can hear the
Speaker 1: background noise again. We're at Wilmington Threw Works. That's the
Speaker 1: fans living it up here on the Meet the Team
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty event. We're talking with Justin Robinson, point
Speaker 1: guard with the Delaware bluecoat speaking a free game and uh,
Speaker 1: your music? How about your shore game? When you decide
Speaker 1: what you're gonna wear for that game? What goes into
Speaker 1: into the decision on what sneakers you're gonna wear for
Speaker 1: a particular game. It's been difficult when I was in college,
Speaker 1: I never wore the same shoot twice and see, so
Speaker 1: I think the idea of, like I said, transition from
Speaker 1: DC to Delaware. I didn't bring up everything. I have
Speaker 1: a lot in storage, so with the shoes I did bring,
Speaker 1: I try to rotate through um. Actually just went in
Speaker 1: about two more hares yesterday, so we'll see how it
Speaker 1: keeps going for the rest of the year. I actually
Speaker 1: had some shoes that went well with the jersey last night,
Speaker 1: but it was in storage and kind of made me
Speaker 1: a little upset. But yeah, Joe, when they were the
Speaker 1: bow Biden Foundation, that was a great night for Bo
Speaker 1: Biden Foundation. Obviously we're hoping for it were the team
Speaker 1: was hoping for a different result on the on the floor,
Speaker 1: but the specialty uniform to support the protection of children
Speaker 1: with the Bobiden Foundation. The Navy blue thieve fit in
Speaker 1: with his Washington background wizards heavily wizards was hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed that though. I was very great cause
Speaker 1: and just agreeing for a much purpose. Last one, last one,
Speaker 1: last one. What was the transition like from college to
Speaker 1: the pros in terms of I mentioned it to some
Speaker 1: of your teammates. The arrival photos and what you're wearing
Speaker 1: when you get to the game, because that becomes a
Speaker 1: big part of the NBA lifestyle, making sure that you
Speaker 1: look good when you come into the arena. How much
Speaker 1: thought did you put into that when you were going
Speaker 1: in for an NBA game? So I actually did that
Speaker 1: a lot in college. We actually had a good personal
Speaker 1: for talking for if you would call it um. We
Speaker 1: had a fashionist team, festivaler and you wanted to U
Speaker 1: shot game. We went to Sweet sixteen. We had a
Speaker 1: good tournament run, so everybody wanted to look fly walk
Speaker 1: into the game. Try to have those tunnel picks before
Speaker 1: they got all right, so you're ready your closet stuff,
Speaker 1: all right, justin thanks so much, Matt. We appreciate it,
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. We're gonna get a guy that's
Speaker 1: even newer than Justin Robinson to the Delaware blue Coats
Speaker 1: on here Matt Murphy and Joe Richmond, and we got
Speaker 1: a brand new member of the Delaware Bluecoats. So Justin

Speaker 1: but we got a guy who officially was acquired yesterday

Speaker 1: see we gotta say, Joe, we gotta say welcome to Delaware. Yes,
Speaker 1: brand new to the team. So you see all these
Speaker 1: bands here. What are your first impressions of the Delaware
Speaker 1: Bluecoats fan base? First impressions is, uh, it's a good community.
Speaker 1: You know. I've met a lot of people today from
Speaker 1: the team and just the fan base, and it's like
Speaker 1: a lot of good meats. For sure. We gotta show
Speaker 1: him the way, Joe, You're we gotta teach him about
Speaker 1: Delaware and all of that because he's brand new. Well,
Speaker 1: you know one thing about Delaware, man, if you can see, Man,
Speaker 1: if you work hard and just sewing some of the
Speaker 1: some of the practice already, your work ethic is gonna
Speaker 1: win these fans over. And as you can see, man,
Speaker 1: they're passionate about the team. They're passion about you guys,
Speaker 1: and like anything else, like they weren't winning, everybody was
Speaker 1: asking about you. You're walking around and sad them the
Speaker 1: other day like, Yo, who is this guy? And I
Speaker 1: was so excited to see that. You know, you finally
Speaker 1: officially got on so um, you know, coming out, what
Speaker 1: do you look to bring to the team because you know,
Speaker 1: other guys we got to talk about some basketball. But
Speaker 1: what are you looking to bring to what you know
Speaker 1: saw in the last couple of games. What are you
Speaker 1: looking to bring to this team in this community? Man?
Speaker 1: Just uh, to the team some reinforcements, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like Philly's got a lot of that nitty
Speaker 1: gritty style, very similar to Boston. I think. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I'm kind of used to that atmosphere. I feel I
Speaker 1: feel it from the fans already, like that's the type
Speaker 1: of style they want, and that's the way I'd like
Speaker 1: to play. So yeah, that's good. He coming from Boston
Speaker 1: because you know, the weather fits right in cold cold
Speaker 1: weather East school city and very similar. Dennis Clintford, the
Speaker 1: former Boston College college player, how about the style of
Speaker 1: playing the sixers in Blue Coats organization with embracing the
Speaker 1: big man. You're now the third seven footer currently on
Speaker 1: the Blue Coach roster joining the round Lauren Chris Kumaji.
Speaker 1: What what what are your thoughts on how they embrace
Speaker 1: that big guy and use him in the offense and
Speaker 1: the defense. Well, that's definitely something that attracted me to
Speaker 1: this team. Is just you know, a lot of people
Speaker 1: in the organization were reaching out to me and they
Speaker 1: were like, hey, listen, you know, like we we like
Speaker 1: using our bigs, you know, and they've they've already proved that.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of cool watching the Sixers, seeing how
Speaker 1: they use their bills. They got great bigs up there,
Speaker 1: and just hoping that I could emulate some of that
Speaker 1: for this team. So you don't know Joe too well yet,
Speaker 1: but you will. His international his professional career took him overseas.
Speaker 1: He toured with the Harlem Globe Trinners as well. And
Speaker 1: you're a guy who, hey, who's played overseas. So how
Speaker 1: do you think playing overseas helped you now returning to
Speaker 1: the G League. But a couple of things. I mean,
Speaker 1: the overseas game is definitely different, but you know, just
Speaker 1: like another style of basketball, you kind of pick up
Speaker 1: some little tricks here and there. For sure. I mean
Speaker 1: over there it's a lot more like team oriented. You
Speaker 1: definitely need like more more things, like more pieces to
Speaker 1: the puzzle time. It's it's difficult, man, Like the spacing
Speaker 1: over there is much different. So I think I picked
Speaker 1: up a couple of things, you know, well, We're not
Speaker 1: going to stick the basketball. We want to loosen up.
Speaker 1: Let the people get to know you are. But this
Speaker 1: is gonna be airing all over the place. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna start off. Maddy Ice like to go to and

Speaker 1: like feeling free, you know what I mean, so that
Speaker 1: I can move. How about your whole look on the court,
