  Speaker 1: Jay after the game, it looked like women Yama and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Chris Paul walked over and had a moment with your
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: kids just as a father, you know, and give them
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: this time. What did that mean to you that they
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: took the time to do that.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Chris is like a brother to me.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: It's funny. We were talking yesterday about our inner circles
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and within the NBA, people you've worked with or people
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: you know. People have a relationship with coaches, teammates, equipment, managers,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: pr staff, whatever it may be. And you know, I
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: in the league long enough, you have this big circle
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and it's people you like, people you love, and then
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: it's your brothers. And Chris is in that that inner
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: inner circle of brothers. He called me this afternoon and said,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Vic and I are going to go whether you win
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: or we win, We're going to go over and give
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the boys jerseys. You know, he's well aware that you
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: know they're huge NBA fans, all their basketball cards. You
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: know that I ran a podcast out of my home
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: for two years and all the players would come through
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and they get there, you know, they're either a jersey
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: or a card signed. And they had a collection of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: jerseys and cards and they lost all that, so it
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was nice to them to do it. They now each
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: have two because Austin was nice enough to leave a
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: couple for him in this locker after practice the other day.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: So I just again, I appreciate all the love and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised Chris did something like that.
