  Speaker 5: and the home girl from playing against my older brother.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: He was always bigger than me and strong than me.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: He wasn't never taking it easy, and especially played through
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: one on one he would be just trying to bang
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: me and post me up the whole time.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, watch y'all.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Once I finally start getting bigger and stronger, I always
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: had the confidence. I got bigger and stronger, I just
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: tooking it ran with it basically, And every time I
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: step on the court, I'm trying.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: To kill my opponent. Have you beat him in one
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and one on one always I beat him.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Now we just trying to broke out twenty five.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, bro, ain't bro ain't going like that? I guess
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: I tell you.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Don't say it's a big brother saying the one on one
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: man was to your little brother.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Now they win at first, like when you're young and
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: you're small and stuff, they win. But once you get
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: around at sixteen seventeen years old.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he should have did. I had to get.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: That, oh man, Like you said, crazy high school career. Man,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: what was it like Hooper in high school and then
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: transition into college because you had a hell of a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: junior seen early.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean it felt it felt really good.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: I had the confidence obviously from playing up all my life,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: so once I got to college, it was basically the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: same thing.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit older. Yeah, it was like
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: twenty six five.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: I still had the confidence and go out there and
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: do what I'm capable of doing. And then I feel
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: like I would pick the right school for me. Let
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: me go out there and showcase what I was capable of.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Like I said, going to Oklahoma for sure. What was
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: that process?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Like, I know you had a couple of schools just shoot,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, tapped in with but obviously
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: end up Oklahoma.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: All worked out, but I used a little a little
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: bit of pressure going through that. Yeah, it was tough.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: That was probably one of the hardes decisions I had
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: to make picking the college because go to the wrong situation. Yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: the coach might not be rocking with you, you might not
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: be able to show everybody what you're capable of, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: you ended up getting stuck in college.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So definitely picking the right school was big for me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: And just narrowing down my options was coaching staff, Yeah,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: the roster, and the conference.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I think that SEC was the bet fifth of my game,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: my play style.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you alreays talking about this, Tig, it's a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: little bit different when you get to college, but you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: said that summer is really where it's different when it
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: gets that level.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: What was that life for you?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Stepping into that spring summer ball? It was crazy? At first,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: them dudes was strong.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I'm like, man, But then I start hitting that weight room,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: I start getting stronger, and I was like, all right,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: I'm good. But like that first week, I get switched
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: on the bier. He trying to post me up. I'm like, man,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: it's strong. Other than that, I was good after that, though.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: That was the first time touching the whites, the real
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: real ways.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I was doing push ups and little dumb balls and stuff.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I got to college. I start hitting them sixty five
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: and eighties, and then I took my push up to
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: another level. I started doing even more pull ups, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: my body start getting defined. I started getting a lot stronger.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Fteen shakes movies.
• 6:51

• 6:54
  Speaker 2: ten twelve pounds? Okay, I was.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: I was trying, though, but it was a got half
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: of myself too, getting stronger and getting bigger. So I
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: was willing to do anything. Pick up that way and
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: pick up that muscle.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: You're the stummer. You came back.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: It wouldn't even that long.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Boy.

  Speaker 1: you're putting on but like to support you was getting
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: like as graduate, obviously you have the name. You was good,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: but like gradually had to see the progress. Everybody was like, no,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: y'all have to watch him. What was that like? Especially
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: with your teammates buying into the system, and it seemed
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: like they let you cook and then it all worked out.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Uh, having the older dudes sometimes it's be tough. They'd
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: be hating. But I feel like I was in a
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: fourtune situation. My teammates, they was happy for me. He
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: was out there doing it together. I mean I was
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: still I was still out there kind of playing really
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: good and doing what I could do, but my teammates
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: were still getting off his will. Yeah, and it was
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: more so like not that everybody looking at it like
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Jeremiah doing this, he's doing that. But also your teammates
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: played a big part because they gotta be willing to
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: buy in and they gotta be happy for you. If
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: they're not happy for you, then it's gonna be a
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: tough situation. Like, man, you're a freshman. We're not from
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: passing the ball, and we're not gonna be happy if
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: you have a good game. So my teammates definitely played
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: a huge part of that and they was happy for
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: me whether it was a good game bad game. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: they was talking to me as well if I did
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: have a bad game, like good, bro, you're gonna shake back.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think they would a long way from me,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and just seeing them have that confidence in me.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about this now with the portal and everything,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the business basketball is different, so they don't even be
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: quote unquote hateed time.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: It's just like, shoot, I'm trying to get paid too. Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So now I was like, yeah, it ain't the competition
• 9:13

  Speaker 6: mama anybody in the stand.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy. But uh, you going there and
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: you shut them up.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: That's the most song for sure.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Any memorable matchups from college that you can remember, somebody
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: that try.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Uh Kentucky, Kentucky and Georgia. We played Georgia the first time.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: I couldn't a shot and then they end up beating
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: us and they was fans was talking wild, the player
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: was talking wild. They was like, it's supposed to be
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: the NBA this you did this. I'm like, we're gonna
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: see yall again. And then we end up seeing him
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: in the SEC tournament and I destroyed them and we
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: beat them and put him out. I was talking a
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: little crazy to them after the game. Uh the little
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: guard from Yukon, Uh he there, now he got the
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: dress he was guarding me.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: He got tors crazy show. And then Kentucky.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we end up having one of the players from
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma's transfer over there, ended up making the game win
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: on us. He was talking out his body too. Played
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: him again. He ended up in another game winning, claiming.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: All that in time was spooky though, that he had
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: ran full court and just threw it up with the left.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: He was all bounds and everything.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: We like, no way he made that, and then it
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: wasn't enough time to get a shot of it was
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: like point seven were like no way.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Just games like that. Oh I gota you get two
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: game winners to get the school you left?
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was crazy. No respected him all right. Obviously
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: killed in college. What was your draft process like that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: summer going into being a professional.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: It's crazy. Probably I probably ended up getting in the
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: best shape I ever been there. They had me working
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: out and running so much that when I worked out
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: the NBA teams, I was in. I was in great shape,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: and then the majority of my workouts was solos, so
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: it was me and then not the video up like
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: the assistant coaches. Some teams bring back players ha's been
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the NBA, so you might be playing it's a former
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: point guard or former wing and stuff like that, playing
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: three threes. But it was it was good for sure.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: I had some couple of matchups. They were trying to
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: get underneath my skin because they seen I was talking
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: a little bit of Collins. They had some of the
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: people they got you going against talking and man, the
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: worst is probably Utah Man. The air out there already different.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: And then they got you the three minute run, like,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: oh that's different.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: When people who ain't tapped in, please explain what the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: three minute run is.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: You gotta run full speed to one end to the
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: other end for three minutes and they're trying to see
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: how much you can get basically a condition to test.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: And I mean you trying to get on the team.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: You want them to pick you, so you're going hard.
• 15:44

• 15:47
  Speaker 5: time you get to like twenty, her legs and body

• 16:07
  Speaker 5: hours just you by yourself.

  Speaker 4: It was freaky.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, facts, they were trying to see what she was
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: gonna do, how he was gonna react.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: But it was super fun. How many teams you work
• 16:15

• 16:20
  Speaker 2: was going to our five. He worked out for four.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: It was Yeah, it wasn't as much as everybody else,
• 16:26

• 16:52
  Speaker 2: It was fly to appreciated. It came for sure. What's
• 16:56

  Speaker 2: Man? It was crazy.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Uh, it was a little bit like you still know
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: you're gonna be a topic, but it was like her
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: was racing. You ain't know who's gonna take you. You're
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: just sitting at that table. But it's a little like
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: for the people that no dispect that ain't been drafted
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: or that then that opportunity, like you kind of knowing
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: it's about to be your turn.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They got all the camera dununto your table.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: So once I see all the camera, I was like, oh,
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: and I just put my head now, like I'm about
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: to get drafted. So once I walked up there put
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: the hat on, so got them silver hand. It was
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: like a dream come true. And then my heart kind
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: of I start relaxing a little bit. I'm like, ah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: you did. But at the end of the day, I
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: knew I had more work to be done. Something League
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: was coming up. And then I had a chip on
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: my shoulder too from the people, all the people that
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: went in front of me m So every time I
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: played them, I had it marked down for sure.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: See, I know you worked out for a couple of teams.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Was the Pelgan of those things.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Worked out for?
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it wasn't one of the four.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Now there'd be some.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Weird situations where you don't work out for a team
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that draft people like I ain't even tapping early.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: It's crazy That's how it was in Alena offer up.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: I don't work out for Anta.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: You don't know none of the coaches, No, none of
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: the assistance. You know the front office. I mean you
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: probably know them a little bit from the combine. You
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: got to meet with a bunch of different teams to
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: talk to them, but like, you never seen him in person.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: One thing y'all talked about was college and getting ready
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: for the draft. But you want to know nothing else
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: about them.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: What's been that adjustment? The biggest adjustment.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Definitely the speed of the game.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Once the game starts slowing down for you, it's gonna
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: become a lot more easier. So I feel like that
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: was the biggest adjustment. But I think I I think
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: it's starting to slow down a lot for me, and
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I'm starting to understand everything all the cultures, read sky reports, everybody,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: my matchup, my assignments, and what I gotta do to
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: help my team win.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: All right, man, obviously you're a rookie, but what was
• 18:57

• 20:14
  Speaker 5: but being able to talk a little bit. But you

  Speaker 2: That's probably the hardest position.

  Speaker 5: I mean the wings and the threes and fours could
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: argue the bigs not for real, but the threes and
• 20:46

  Speaker 6: that moment like, damn, I'm about to play against bro Kadie.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I played in pre season, but he wasn't really trying.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: He still was cooking us. Once the season came, you
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: played great defense. He might come off pin down. You're like,
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: all right, I can push him. He's skinny, but he
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: catched that drink. Taking that one dribble and rise up
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: used to test steel bottom of the team. You just
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: gotta run down like, hey, that was the defense.
