  Speaker 3: You know?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: They always say like when you were that's the first
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: big decision you make as a young man. And for me,

• 7:13
  Speaker 1: official visit and I got there on like Friday morning.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: By Saturday, I remember I was at the bookstore with
• 7:19

• 7:26
  Speaker 1: they felt about coach, and how they talked about them,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: how close they was. I was like, man, I don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: want to waste no time of going to no other visits.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, I want to go to Duke.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So that was like one of the best decisions I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: ever could have made. Some of my best friends I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: ever met from Duke. Shout out to John Shire. That's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: somebody I talked to every other day still, and you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: we always talk about the brotherhood, and that's the real thing,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: regardless of if you ever played with them or if
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: they was there twenty five years before you. It's always
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: love whenever you see anybody that had that uniform. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be a part of something that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: was bigger than myself. And knowing that I was only
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go to college for one year, Damn, you knew.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: That that's a blessing. Yeah, I did. I knew that.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I wanted to. I wanted to be somewhere that was
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: gonna set me up for the big stage. Right, you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: go to Duke, that's the best, No disrespecting nobody else,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: but that's the best, one of the best college programs.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Right. We always on national TV.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: The expectations is high media training, all those things is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: just preparing you for the next level.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: And I was gonna ask, like, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I know that that's lit, but what was that experience
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: like that first time playing in Cameron door, Like what
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: was that first because y'r fan's crazy as hell.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So, I mean a lot of people don't know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I got hurt in our second protein so we had
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: our second prote I ended up. I had like a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: little stress fracture in my toe and I missed. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: missed our first twelve games.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So I remember that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I uh, my first time playing. I think we played
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: like Tennessee State at home. And it wasn't no low management,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: no minute restriction. I played like twenty two minutes straight.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I called it cramp.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: So my first game was a little a little up
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and down, but we got the best fans. A lot
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of people when they come to do they don't understand it,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: like this is the gym, like it's so small.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: They will pay they think that's where we practice at.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: It's only like six thousand people in there, but uh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you know they definitely supporting. The energy is crazy and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: uh you know it's bittersweet. I only got the experience
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that for one year, but it definitely was a great experience.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: How was it playing for coach? Said coach cal.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Playing my dog? You know, hend thinking about that money family,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: you know, to the game?
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: How was that playing for coach ko Bro? I heard
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: they got a you ask a couple of times.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Hey, yo, all right.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Jason, Jason, Jason over there?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: All right? Playing for coach K was great.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I mean the thing I respect most about coaches, he's
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a leader of men, and he really understands how to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: galvanize a team and how to get you to really
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: compete and play art. And I think that's the biggest
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: thing for kids that's coming out of high school. Everybody's talented,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: but how can you work well with a team. How
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: do you learn how to compete? How do you learn
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: how to get outside yourself? Get outside your comfort zone?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I think Coach K was great at motivating and he
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: wanted the best for me, like he wanted me to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: be the best pocket. But He wanted me to be
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: wanted done. He wanted me to go be where I'm
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: matt And I think that was that was important. That
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was special because you hear a lot of stories and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: coaches that like want to hold guy's back and want
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to keep them. K like he pushes you to be
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the best version of yourself, and that's somebody. Coach K
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: texts me today like even at seventy seven, like, you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: he's still tap in and we talked all the time.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: Did he ever try you, like just to get you
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: to play better or we have his like little antics
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: with you.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: N He definitely was a master manipulator. I mean we
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was playing Virginia, Virginia. He was playing at Virginia and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it was the best game I had in college at
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the time. I had two points at halftime, but we
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: was winning. I thought I was playing defense. I came
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: at halftime, I'm dapping everybody up. I'm like, yo, like,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you know, let's keep it going. We're gonna win, Like
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: keep playing the right way. No, lie, I'm sitting next
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to Millach K came in. I'm like, I'm leaning for it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, like, let's go. Came in took his
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: jacket off and he threw it at me. He was, like,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you saw fast Saint Louis kid, He said, if I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: knew you was gonna play like this, I would have
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: left you back in Saint Louis. Damn I'm talking about
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: He cussed me out the whole twelve minutes, and like Mills,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I was, I don't get mad, like I don't like
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: nobody called me soft, and I don't want nobody disrespect
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: where I'm from.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: That's how Newly talked to Mr.

  Speaker 1: You know, Bro, my cousin, but coaches just been there,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: like he knew how to push your buttons. And yeah,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I scored twenty eight points in the second half because
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I was just angry. And you know, at the time
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand, but after I realized, like he just
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: knew how to coach certain players.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was excellent at that. That's hard on
• 12:36

  Speaker 3: The lost South Carolina.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: They went to the final four. That ye is bro
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: was that was that was out of shape. Glenn Davis,
• 15:03

• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Oh you know Carolina fan like you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Like coach call right, but I fuck with coach Calfklater.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: In two different ministries about you said, you know it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: gonna be a one to doe.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Season ends? How was that like knowing you was like
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: it's time to get paid, like transition to be a pro?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Like dream come true? How was that moment? How was
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that summer?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: We lost to South Carolina and I was I was upset,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: like because I was fully involved, like I I was
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: at Duke. I was like, I want to see this through.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I wanted to win a championship. The start of the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: season wasn't great, but we end up we won the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: ACC tournament. We want four games in four days. Nobody
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: had ever done that, so we ended up being a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: two seeds. So I'm thinking, like, yo, were really gonna
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: win the championship. We lost in the second round and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: after the game, I remember I was like, state, I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: was sick the medium in the locker room, and I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: remember I got to the crowd. I wanted to go
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to see my mom and it just it just clicked.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, like my dream about to come true.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And at that moment, it wasn't like I didn't care
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that we just lost. It was like, man, this is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: what I've been working towards my whole life, and it
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: was like I saw my mom.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I was like, yo, I'm about to change my mom life.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And at that moment, I wasn't that sad. No, more
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: like I was. I was damn there excited. But I
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: remember I was a little nervous calling coach k of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: like telling him like, yo, I'm not coming back to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: school and Coach was like, you pick your agent yet
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you ready? I was like, damn, Coach, like you don't
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: want me to come back. He's like, no, Like you
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: gotta go.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: That's real. That's real for sure.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But like I always was going to leave, but I
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: had just built the connection and relationship at DO and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you know, still tied into this day, and uh, you know,
• 16:59

• 17:39
  Speaker 2: coach want you to leave and like telling you pick
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: our agent and stuff.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Our coach was nothing like that, bro. He was ready
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: for them niggas to go. Yeah. They he was hating
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: on us doing the draft.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: He's telling two people were bad teammates, all type of stuff.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: It was crazy. So that's dope that coach k did
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that for Yeah, yeah, that's love. Listen, we know where
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you win the draft. But did you think it was
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: going number one?
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Any think so went number one and to a Lonzo
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. Markel Folks was cold in college,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: was wrong in fact. Watch Yeah he was nice and
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I watched him. I was like, yeah, he's special. Alonzo
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: was nice, but LeVar balls marketing skills that entire summer.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was him. That was crazy. That's that should
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: be spoken on more because I mean, obviously he was.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Deservers wrong, but LeVar saw him so high for real,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: he saw him so hot going on campaign. Who else
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: parent was on ESPN bro before the like, he really
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: went crazy for that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: His daddy's got to do better. Yeah, that wasn't they
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: got to do better. But it was a blessing not
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: to go to l A for me.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: For you, I'm glad you didn't go to I mean,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: he probably would have been filthy out there anyway, but
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I think Boston was just perfect.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, it definitely worked out.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: But like you said, during that process, the narrative was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: it was consensus that Markel was going number one, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: when the Lakers got the second pick, it was like
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Lonzo was going too. So it was never a thought
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in my mind. Was like, I just felt like everybody
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: had their mind made up. And I was in LA
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: so Philly had the number one picket first, they came
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: to watch me work out. The Celtics came to watch
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: me work out. I'm sorry. The Celtics had the number
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: one picke at the time. They came to watch me
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in Phoenix, so Phoenix was four. So I work out
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: for all of them. They couldn't watch me. Everybody was
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: raving about the workout. But then somebody I ain't gonna
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: say his name was somebody on the Celtics front office
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: was like, Yo, one of the best workouts I've seen.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: He was like, good luck in your career.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: But you know, we got the number one pick, we
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: probably not gonna pick you.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: So at the time I was like like, damn, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: don't want to go. Damn, Brad, you did that. No,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: it wasn't bad. I'm just playing. Let me suffer. I'm sorry,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: come on, I got to.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But for me, I grew up with Kobe fan like,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I always wanted to play for the Lakers, so don't
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: do it for them to have the number two pick,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: And it was like they didn't even it wasn't even
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a thought that I was going to get drafted. Like
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that was kind of devastating. So I never worked out
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers. They never came to watch me work out.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And then it was like a week before the draft,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Philly and Boston traded the thirty one three and I
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: wanted to go to Phoenix. Phoenix had the fourth pick.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Errow Watson was a coach. I went out there I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: was looking at houses. The weather was nice, and they
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: had a young team. I was like, man, I'm gonna
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: go get the play. And then I remember coach k
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: was like, Yo, Boston want to have you for a
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: second workout. You should go. I'm like, coach, like, they
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: just came off the Eastern Conference finals. They got a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: veteran team, like, I'm probably not gonna play. I don't
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: want to go. Yeah, And he was raving about Brad Stevens.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: He was like, Brad's one of the best coaches in
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the league. Like, just go for another workout. And I
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: remember I went up to Boston like three days before
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the draft. I had another workout and I didn't know
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: where I was getting drafted until they called my name. Dang,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and but you know the rest was history and it
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: all worked out for sure. That's crazy because I know
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: from the outside looking in him, like I said, we
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: fell from some of the propaganda from the bar ball.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: We didn't know it was sowing up like that. So
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to hear you say, like the Lakers was that locked in?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I was sick too, because it was like, man, I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: was so close to my dream and I might play
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers. It was like best case scenario, and
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they was mine was made up. They didn't want to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: come watch me work out and had me come in.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: I was like, man, so you didn't think he was
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: gonna play it all Boston.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And then I get drafted. Gordon Hayward signed with the Celtics.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I called my agent like, yo, I gotta get traded.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'm in the Summer League before I ever played a game,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: like yo. He like relaxed, just waited out. Man, he's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: doing too much. Basically, he's like you got I'm like, yo,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to play.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I want I don't. I didn't get drafted to come
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: off the bench and not start. Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like, yo, just like you're in a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: great organization. They're gonna teach you how to play the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: right way.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie. Would have been worried, Yeah, wrapped
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the head said j.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: They picked up Jordan and then JB just got drafted
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: the year before, and j he didn't even play that
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: much a year.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: So I would have been concerned too.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I ain't so at first, I'm like, but this is
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: before Kyle even came. But then when Kyle came, he
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: was cool because we we traded a lot of people
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: for kyin lot.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you had wonder that like you had. I'll
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: rock with you purely off the skill. But I think
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: what's so crazy about you is like you accomplished so
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: much in a short little time that people like want
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: to down play. It's just like it's not his fault
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: that he came in the league killing a lot of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: people taking adjustment periods. You was on the veteran team
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: with a lot of people trying to get contracts, with
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of people trying to prove themselves. It still flourished,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: like I had a crazy crazy man.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah that was at that time. That was like the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: most fun I ever had playing basketball. Like, we lost
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: our first two games and Gordon got hurt on opening
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the night, which was that was like tragic. Yeah, we
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: lost in Cleveland, played back to back, we lost to Milwaukee.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I was like, damn, it's gonna be a tough year.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: We won sixteen games straight and that's when I was like,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Kyrie might be the best basketball player I've ever seen player.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Kyrie won and he got hurt and we had like.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Twenty three games left, and I remember it was me
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: smart t row Marcus Morris, Baines al and we was
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: already the two seed, and we had twenty three games
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that like play like learn how to play with each other.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: And then we got to the playoffs and it was like, man,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: we were just like everybody favorite team because we was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: all young. Nobody expected us to beat Giannis in the Bucks.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Then we beat Joel, then played Lebron in the conference finals.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: We was rolling. I ain't gonna a lot, like we
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: were just out there like having a.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Ball for sure.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I gotta ask, man, how was it going saying send
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Lebron to tweet the follow you back to Duncan on
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: him in the playoffs.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: That's a hell of a transition. No, it was definitely
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: a full circle moment.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: And I remember like when we beat we beat Philly
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and they had swept Ronto. That's when the tweets start
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: going viral. I made that tweet in eighth grade, like
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: when I first got on Twitter.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we know, we see the times, but it's just funny.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: It's like twenty twelve or something like that. He was
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: a fan.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: I would never tweet you take a picture of Bron,
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: But when I, oh it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Was twelve, it was already six three on top of
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: his hand. You kid, I was like, no, that you
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: actually crazy that Louis. That's funny, that's funny.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: No, I want you to speak going for real. I
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: want to I love bro Cherry Rose your game, Bro.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I was playing with him. Man, that little stint that
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: your head bro.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: So Teague though, like in the right before the season,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: before training camp, that's gods start coming in like two
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: three weeks before the younger guys.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I was in there like.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: A month and we was having like open open runs.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I called back home
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and I called back.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: I said, Yo, Terry Rojier is like that, bro.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And you know, when you're younger, you think the guys
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that come up the bench or not starting, you think
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: they just bums or average man. When I seen Trod
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in that first pick up game, I was like, no,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: like Terry really got game.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Now, come, you know?
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: And for ninety five percent in the league, you got
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: to be in the right spot and have an opportunity.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It's only a handful of guys that can go on
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: any team and be who they are. And that don't
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: mean that the other guy's not that good. Is just
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: those five percent of players are really that good. So
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously you don't never want to see somebody
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: get hurt. But it was a blessing to disguise for
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Kyrie to get hurt. T Roge got the show. You know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you can lead the team and be the starting point
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: guard and uh, you know, do all those things. But
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I remember, like it was September or whatever I called
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: back home.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, t rope is old. He was killing
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: bro what I feel like? He was?
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Youll like leader bro, he was.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: He was in the cut. You feel me.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: He was doing your thing. He was nigga at the front,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: like what's had.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: When he tried to dunk on Brons when it got
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: crazy like the last game, Yeah, he ready to go.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: You know he's done enough. I'm just trying. But the
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: moment was crazy, the scary ty because a boy act
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: like everybody so the neck like you know who he was, bro.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Spoky That that snatched back clipping Lewis was crash.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: But so at the game I said that out of pocket. Yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: y'all was hard for that, you know what. I love
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Boston fans, even though when I played there it was COVID.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: We didn't have a fan of staying. That's why I
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: wasn't hooping like that fans. I'm I'm a performer, like
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I need a crowd. They had fake crowd noise. Wasn't
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: even out stays even now, Pa, Nah, I ain't no
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: hooper like the problem. Yeah, I ain't no practice player, Bro.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I need a real show, bro saying you turned it
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: was crowd noise. Mamas there, Yeah, I'm waiting at j
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: T Mama. She all wanted the crowd. Put my son,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: little Duce running on the court.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Security you can run on the like to get your
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I tripped over the ship. He do whatever he want.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: That's fine. Yeah, I wouldn't know friends that we really
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: was cheering for each other.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Like what I'm like, I have my best game. We're
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: on national TV. Didn't feel like I tell.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: People that was the hardest. That's got to be like
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: the toughest NBA season.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: That was terrible, bro, That's why your fans you gotta
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: do it the nose swab every morning like it was.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: You just didn't know who was gonna play.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Now, it's terrible. You had to sit and wait thirty
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: minutes before you can go on the gym. We all
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: just up there texting like I'm like, yeah, this is
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: over for me. And that's crazy that y'all say that,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: because I hear all the players say like that was
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: a trying time. But it's like everybody else in mediate
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: but like that Lakers weren't count.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Because it was COVID. I'm like the niggas was playing.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: So that was really hard. Advice over y'alls. That was tough.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: That was tough. I don't know about them. For me,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: it was tough I playing crowd, especially being on the road.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I want to apologize to Boston because that was my

  Speaker 2: feel about people playing against you?
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: And your shoes. So that's it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: So the first part, it's an eighteen month process. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: like the threes is out, the forest is done, we're
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: working on the five. So okay, it's like it's a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: long process because you like, you want to enjoy what
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you're wearing now, but you're on meetings about when the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: forest is coming out and they're like, all right, well
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: we need to start designing the fives. So it's tough.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: It's trying to kind of stand in the moment because
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, I just want to focus on what's
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: going on right now. But shout out to everybody on

• 32:00
  Speaker 1: it's just dope to see all the work to go
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: behind and all how long it took. And it's like
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: when you finally see the final product, when you get
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to see all the color ways and tell stories organically
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and people that you know can relate.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: To whatever you're trying to tell, it's dope.
• 32:17

  Speaker 1: he grabbed me out the air. Not like that found
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: me just like the so I wouldn't get the lay up. Yeah,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: and Brad Brad non confrontational. Brad just looked at him like.

• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Like you know, most of the star players, they get
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: their shot I took, then they're gonna go about their business.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: He would be looking for you, like, oh, we ain't

  Speaker 3: he's different, Like he want to be in here for
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: another two hours. I really don't even want to be

  Speaker 1: He liked this, Like a lot of people don't necessarily
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: want to go through the practice schedule.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: But if they want to compete if you want to.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Go to workout of shooting drills and play one on
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: after practice, like everybody want to compete. So that was

  Speaker 1: the messages.

• 48:33
  Speaker 3: that's he like a little bro bro. But he cold.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: The only person he would ever say something else to
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: get under his skin to be Luca Bro anytime we
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: mentioned Luca even though it definitely ain't no beef with
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: them or no, it's just competitive spirit. But E T
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: would be like, yeah, Luca Cold. I'd be like about
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: to get forty, they go crazy. I was like, tay
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: the game, before the game, you gotta play, somebody talk
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: about Luca T like that's my favorite players.
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Look, he'd be like JB. Saud be like wow, I'll
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: be like cold.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: I knew he was gonna get at least a thirty
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: two point performance on the bench. You just want to
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: see somebody kill see some.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: Motherfuckers knew how to trigger him though, I him going.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: I text him now.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: I couldn't say nothing. The first game this year, you
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: went crazy. I ain't want to get you a little.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: I was just gone up, Yeah, regression, but he was
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: killing bro. He was killing to shipping good for so
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: far for sure. Listen, man, we definitely want to talk
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: about the I had last year to get the ring.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: But I want to ask you know what I'm saying,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: planning gets the words and twenty two coming up a
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: little bit short. But how was that experience? You know
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying moreed you to be ready to get
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: that chip last year.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's certain things that you go through in
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: real time that you don't understand, like how this is
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: going to prepare you for the future, because losing a
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: twenty two is like devastating. Like we was the eleventh seed.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: We end up getting to the two seed. We beat
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Katie and Kyrie, We beat Yannis, the defending champs. We
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: go to Miami and win in Game seven, Like that
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: was one of the toughest runs I can remember in
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: recent years. And then to fall up short, it was like, man,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: we just did all that for nothing. It was devastating.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: And then the next year we kind of like we
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: like overlooked teams a little bit. We just wanted to
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: get back to the finals. We end up going six
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: with Atlanta in the first round, Like we didn't handle
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: business the way we should have and put ourselves.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: In a whole. We was down three, and you damn
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: it gotta be perfect to win four games in a row.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: And you know I sprained my ankle to first play
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: the game, and you know, the margin for error is
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: that much shorter when you down three. So I think
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: last year was the perfect balance of like obviously we
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: got KP, we got Drew, and I think our team
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: was just in the perfect space of like everybody got paid,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: everybody had individual success in awards.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: The only thing we haven't done besides Drew was winning championship.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: And I give a lot of credit to our coaching
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: staff and Joe just the way we prepared, Like in
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: our mindset, we knew how to play, and we really
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: we just got better every single day. We approached how
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: we was going to play the Bucks the same way
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: we was going to play the Wizards. Like we didn't
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: look past nobody, and we lost eighteen games last year
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: and we went sixteen and three in the playoffs, Like
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I know we're still playing.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Nobody want to give us our credit, but like the
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: ship we did last year was special.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Credit I don't know different anybody else is just like, hey,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: as a Patiss fan, please tell me that we was
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: the hardest team.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying last shot in the post season.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: That big a dude go out of Celtic's Gary down for.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Luck. You can never.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: No, I mean I said, I'm a record for saying it,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Like yes, sir, the patience that was the hardest series
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: that we had last year.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Just like.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: How fast they played. They were subbing three people at
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the time. Teacher mcconna was unreal at home, like was
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: doing over topping. Like the role players that they got,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: they're just also selfless. They don't move, they don't stop moving.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Everybody played without the ball, and they just like they
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: the way they play, they trying to.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: They like bait you into play how they play and
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: like that works for them.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, our thing is like we want to
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: get stops and defense and you look up the score
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: might be one hundred and thirty five, Like that's the
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: game that they want to play. And when they get
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: you playing that way, like they can beat anybody. And
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: you know, we came back in overtime. The first game,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Game three, was down nineteen in game four, we went
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: down to the wire like we swept them, but like
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: every game we did tying.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: It was with all good games though for the most part,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: like exciting games to be I should say.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: I give any a lot of credit. Like we was
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: dog tired after every game after that. Listen, we don't
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: get nice things offense. So they complimenced me to lots
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: of me.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: Because this nigga still there be like like that.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: The way we start off this season, I don't know
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: if I could be happy this year or not. Man,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: it's a thank for the word. That's all I did
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: right now now. When Drew first got traded from Milwaukee,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: what I tell you we was gonna Winna, I told
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: you go get Drew got we got traded from it.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, go get Drewy're gonna win. He said,
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: I'm already on it. I know you wasn't. Man said
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: I'm on it. And then I seen it happen. I said, damn,
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: he was on it. He really got pulled over there
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: in the time of contact. No tempering. Yeah, man, I'm just.
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: Saying though him joining the team, though, how was it, Bro?
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: Did you think like when you got there? Of course
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: I got aspirations of winning. But he was like, Noah,
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: this is gonna help us.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: No, I mean absolutely.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Drew was on the team with me in twenty twenty
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: one when he was in the Olympics fresh off he
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: just won a championship with the Bucks, came with us
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: and we wanted to go medal together. And I just
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I understood at that time that Drew was like a
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Swiss army night. He could yeah, guard the one through
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: the five. He could be on ball, he could play
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: off the ball. You put him in a dunker, he
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: can set screens, he can score on any matchup.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: He not like, you know, a team player.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: When the big games, he gonna do what he's supposed
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: to do, and not that he's gonna fall back, but
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: he just know how to how to play with you know, superstars,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: and uh, he like the ultimate teammate. So when we
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: got Drew is definitely like our confidence roles are like, man,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: we just felt that much better about what he's about
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as a Pacers fan, hating becuse y'are cheating. You're
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: not supposed to have Derek White Andrew and then switching
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: to you and JB.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: That's not fair, man, life ain't fair.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: Many White got cold when he cut the hair.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: When he cut the hair, they had to pay for
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: that though, I mean they salary cap Man.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: Tax bill is probably nuts.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Imagine. I know he's selling the tape for we were,
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: but boy, this tax bill is crazy. It's worth it, though, bro,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, championships is for Shure worth it. But y'all
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: to a great story so far, for sure. I mean
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you what I'm saying having to
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: crazy summer. You know, I'm saying getting the dring? You know,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: matter how you come back motivated. Obviously you're a professional.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: You come to hoop, but like having such accomplishments a
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: short amount time, what keeps you motivated and locked in
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: and coming to this season?
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: I think for me, one thing is like, man, I'm
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: only twenty six.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, not some fans of
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: people in the media might view like, oh, you've been
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: in the championship, You've been in conference final, Like they.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Might think I'm older than what I am. Like, boy,
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: you look thirty. You kicked off early that I never
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: understood that. I'm like, why is it his fault? Because
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: he was successful early? Like you came in to the
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: league going like, don't aging for it? Are you get
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: mad at him for it? He was still killing.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's some truth to that.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Like, the expectation for me was just way higher because
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I went to the Congresce Finals at twenty So for
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: me being twenty six, like I got a lot of
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: basketball left a lot and that feeling of winning the
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: championship and having that parade, it was like, man, I
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: want to do this ship again and again and again.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: And you know, my favorite players, like the guys I
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: looked up to, they didn't just win one championship like
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: they're coming to the League of.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: Like or make one All Star game, you know, so man.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: It'd be your own guys. That's what j T was
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: on the real one.
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: He didn't say nothing about an All Star game, bro,
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: your own guys about.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Game, Like that's not a lot of people to say that. No,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: I was just talking you got you got one of them.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: I was going to George, I'm back, that's good. Oh man,
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: Well sorry with begin nothing.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Just like the motivation came from like, man, yeah, okay,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: I understand the space that I'm in and trying to
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: maximize this window of like I want to be one
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: of the best players I ever played. And I understand
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: the window that I have right now and God will
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: and I stay healthy. That you know, I feel like
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I put it in the time and effort to take
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: care of my body to you know, eat the right
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: things and work on my game to be one of
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: the best. That you know, it's not just I don't
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: I want to be one of the best players to
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: ever play. And not to say that it's about rankings,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: but I want to accomplish everything that's in front of me.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: I know he's about to, you know, get out of here.
• 57:44
  Speaker 6: I want to ask you, like he speaks howl hor
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: for that's is God for real, how you feel about him?
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: Man? See watching him win the championship with you, bro,
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: I know that was big.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: No, that's like easily one of my favorite, if not
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: my favorite teammate I ever had from a professional point,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: like when I got drafted at nineteen. Seeing how Al
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: approach every practice day, every game day, every off day,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: it's a testament to like his career. It's year eighteen
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: and like it was year seventeen last year, and we
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: relied heavily on our to help us win a championship.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: It's not a lot of people in year seventeen that's
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: starting on the team that's going to the finals.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: In that game three against Indiana, he had like eight three.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I remember, and it's like we needed him to win
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: that game. So Al took me under his wing, you know,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: since my first day, and you know somebody that's like
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: always been there for me, somebody I've learned a lot
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: from from the standpoint of like having a routine. I
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: got my routine from watching Al have a routine. That's
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: why he's been in the league for so long and
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: been so successful. So Al is one of the best
