• 0:26
  Speaker 2: how to whistle loudly.

  Speaker 1: agent eligibility restricted to apply voider prohibited. See DraftKings dot
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: com for the tells. Got a couple questions for you guys.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Number one, which you think about Patrick Mahomes's dad bod picture?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't see it. You haven't seen it? No, but
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I bet he's ripped. So he isn't. Oh, so that's
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the dad bod he looks.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You can kind of see it on the field, though,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: What do you mean, like you could see a little
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: punche on him.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: You can Yeah, I mean I guess I didn't expect
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: him to be ripped. And it also shows you to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: be a good athlete, you don't have to be somebody
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: that's in the gym doing one hundred crunches every five seconds.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are other quarterbacks. Look at Peyton, look
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: at Eli. I mean your boy Mac Jones in college.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: You say, good quarterbacks.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's not a shredded That doesn't mean he's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: not a great athlete. I think at times we are
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: often confused because there are a lot of great athletes
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that are naturally shredded or part of that Venn diagram
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of people that work out a lot also are better
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: at doing athletic things. This is bizarre, though, what he's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: an elite athlete, Like, yeah, my point is you don't
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: have to have abs to be an elite athlete. I understand.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Like there's Luka Doncic too, Like he looks like he
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: ate twenty tacos before the go kitch yokitch, but yet
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: he moves really good. We saw a guy in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: night Indiana State. It looks soft dude, but.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: He could move. Marcus Russell, one of the greatest quarterbacks
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of all time.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, it's just weird that you're an elite
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: athlete and you can really look like you're not eating
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: healthy or really working out every day.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I kind of love it because it normalizes it, not
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: even the normalizing of it. But he doesn't care. Well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: he's married kids, I yeah, right, he's rich. Yeah, he's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: got everything. He's still he could still care because it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: an image thing. All that stuff is fine, but I mean,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: your image matters to you, and his obviously does for
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: other reasons. But there's this picture of him just chill,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and it's just got to I mean, because we all
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: got that little pooch or not likely that though, Eddie,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: yes you do.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, you know what though I saw I saw
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it right now, and that was like that looks like
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: my body, which is crazy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But he is an elite athlete. Maybe you're more elite
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: than you think.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Then, oh man, did you see the video of Hugh
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Check and McCaffrey out swinging the golf club on the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and they.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Had their shirts off. They're ripped, so from like fifty
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: yards away you could see it so genetically and they
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: work hard, but genetically like McCaffrey's grandfather I think at
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: one time it's the fastest man in the world. What
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: either as a grandfather or a great grandfather. His dad
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Ed played for Shanahan's dad together and won a Super Bowl.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Ed McCaffrey wide receiver. Wow, like a white wide receiver,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and it was even weird. Then you don't have Red McCaffrey.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I don't McCaffrey, do you. Yeah, Broncos Yeah, yeah, he
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: has a brother too, right, so he has people that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: are playing He was playing it right now, he's playing
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. He was playing quarterback all his family. His
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: mom was like, at it is, that's crazy genetically, but
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it still takes hard work as well. But I mean
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: when hard work meets genetics like that, that's when you
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: get that ultimate athlete. Yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: McCaffrey's grandfather, former world record holder at one hundred meter
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: in the nineteen sixty Olympics, silver medalist.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That's legit. It's a silver medalist. So he wasn't the fastest.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Well that doesn't, no, No, you can. You can lose
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the Olympics but also have set a time in like
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a world a different record. Yeah. Yeah, And I'm not
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: even sure that's it, but I'm just saying, logically, you
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: can be the fastest man ever and only win a silver.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You think there's still pressure though, on you for like
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: being in that family, and pressure for.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You to be good at whatever you're doing. I don't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know if there's pressure, because it's so natural that there
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: are such good athletes that maybe the pressure is to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: pursue not to be good, because you could be burned
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: out by all of it. If all your family's doing
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: sports all the time and all you want to do
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is dance that happens man, right, or work on cars? Yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: or so, I don't think the pressure is to be good.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I think the pressure, if there is, is to be
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: like the rest of the family and do what the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: family does. It's like military families. There's probably pressure to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: be in the military if your grandpa and your dad
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: or police officer, yeah, Lieutenant Dan. So the pressure isn't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to go and be the greatest military man. It's probably
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: just to be in the military and everybody else but
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes normalize it because listen, the Chiefs are becoming
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a team that people are starting to root against because
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift, which I'm so pro
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: tailor now because everybody's hating on him, so I'll just
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: go the opposite. It's hilarious.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I love it, even even Kelsey though. Don't you feel
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: like he's I mean, he's not ripped. It doesn't look
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: like it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: No, he's so big though, well, like Gronk is big,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: but Gronk is ripped? Is he absh like? I feel
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: like George Kittle probably is an ad man, and I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: feel like George KITT's probably the best tight end in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL, the best over Kelsey. Yeah, wow, hot ta
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: hot take. I don't think it's that hot. I think
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: all around blocking catching. I mean he has Kelsey, has
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: my homes and has better numbers, but I think Kittle
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is probably the best. I just think this the Kittle's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: probably the better tight end. If I had to pick
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: one on my team to have, I think I would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: take Kittle because he also is able to be an
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman. You see him pancake Hutchinson, I did see
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: him hard pancake too, Yeah, hard pancake. I love a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: hard pancake. What I have a hard pancake? Okay, chocolate
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: chips the Broncos. Maybe you want to trade up for
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams, Oh, really, listen. There's a lot of stuff
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that happens during the draft, the pre draft where people
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: also put rumors out to try to sink people. But
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the Broncos have the twelfth pick overall, and Sean Payton
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: says he really would love to have that top quarterback
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: on the board, and if not that one of the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: top quarterbacks on the board. I don't know that the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Bears are going to trade out of that unless somebody
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: gives them an offer they can't refuse because they do
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have fields, and if they gave them such an offer,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they couldn't refuse. They could go, well, we do have fields,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and we were already thinking about it even though weren't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: going to do it. I just can't see them trading
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: out of that one spot. Mm hmm. But that's from
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: sports kid.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: You you guys like keeping track of all this stuff
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: back and forth of like, oh, they're saying that they're
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: looking for this guy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I like keeping track of and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I read it because it's what I do.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: At first, Yeah, but like by the time April Rulls run, it's.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Like, all right, so I should figure out I'm gonna
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: cash out in my kan City chief super Bowl bets
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: because now it's none of two? Or do I cash
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: out some of them?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: How many do you have? I can get to it
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in a minute. Let's do the tittle tattle his name
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: ever the tittle tattle Let's camp.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: After three of the four teams and the CFP lost
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: their head coach this year, which one do you think
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: has the best shot to get back to make the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: final four?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So you're saying a new coach on one of the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: teams that were in the final four the championship there, Yes, Well,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the Alabama situation is interesting because the boor is an
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: awesome coach, but they lost a bunch of players and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we still have to wait till the portal opens back
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: up and they can get players now, because that's gonna happen,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Like Alabama's gonna get some legit players when the portal
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: opens up again like spring. So that Alabama team right now,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think are loaded for another championship, but I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: think they could be. So I'm gonna push that off.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Jetfish in Washington. Jeedfish came from Arizona. Arizona had they
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: had a good year. They had a much better year
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: than anticipated. Jetfish is a good coach. Washington not the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: program that Alabama is, probably will have a little more
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: trouble in getting big portal players. I don't I think
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be Michigan and showing Moore because he that
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: staff is all it's still in plate place. Yeah, the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: player that's at least the most consistent, I don't think
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: he's the coach I would want. Is probably in order
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: for the number two of the three.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Who's one kill?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I Canada Bor. I'd give a left neuter
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to have him. He's awesome, And people are like, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: don't know if Alabama's gonna be well, yeah, he's along
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the greatest college coach of all time saving but he's awesome.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So I would probably go for next year Michigan. I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: think they'll be loaded up and ready to go, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of continuity there with that staff.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, next one here, as Tom Brady is set to
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: replace Greg Olsen in this booth next year, do you
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: think Fox is making the right call.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I think they're making the right call, and I think
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that it sucks because Greg Golson's awesome, But you just
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: can't turn Tom Brady down. Even if he's not that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: good in the booth, he'll get better. And he's also
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: way famous and he's gonna make news for other things,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: then draws back attention to him. He also is doing football.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You just can't. It's like if Michael Jordan was gonna
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: call basketball games and he sucks, you still want to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: get Michael Jordan call your games. Sure, so at least
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: give it a shot. Greg Golson's awesome, he's the best.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Is he done done? No? Okay, he's going somewhere else. Well,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the thing I was listening to him on Dan Patrick
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I still want to call big games.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at my options. So Brady's got a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: ten year, three hundred and seventy five million dollar deal,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: basically thirty seven million bucks a year, and so Olsen
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: could either go to the booth or coach. But he's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: so good in the booth and came up organically. Was
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: just an athlete who was gonna do some you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: uh color. And he's good looking, so it kind of
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: like made sense. Yeah, he's fine looking. You know, he's
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: good looking. I mean I don't look I mean, I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: don't get a Boner, But I mean I look at it,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't neither. If you just look
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: at the guy and you're like, that's not but Tom
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Brady's replacing him, so yeah, yeah different. Exactly what's wrong
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: with you today? Man, Greg Olsen? Is he's gonna do
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: well wherever you go.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I want to see him somewhere.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Somebody else w take him and make him their number
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: one game. Do you think Brady's gonna be good?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Eventually. Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Did you see him making his rounds the other day
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: and he's like on the Macafie show Colin Coward talking football?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Dude, I mean you can't help but just to be
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in awe of no.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: You're all because you know, I'm not kidding.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I had friends. He's gonna be great, all right? With
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in Vegas?
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: What are the odds someone gets in trouble for gambling
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: on a scale of one to five five being a lock.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say two. Now here's the thing. If you're
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: on the two teams, you can't even walk into casino.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: That's why they have him thirty minutes off the trip.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: If you're playing for Kansas City or on the staff,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: if you're playing for San Francisco and you can't go
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You can't even go to casino. Bro, you go to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a comedian store in Vegas and they have a slot,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I hear you. But that's that's not how you go
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: down if you're a player. That's not how you go
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: at the airport. Man, But that's not how you go
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: down as a player. And also private airport. No, there
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: are no slot machines, not one. No, you've been with me, yeah, yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's like free food. The other thing is, if you're
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: in the NFL at all, you can't go in the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: sports book until the Super Bowl is over. So you
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: can gamble, but you can't go on a sports book
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: at all. So is there a chance somebody gets trouble
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: with Yes, well it'd be one of the two teams. No,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: because it's so obvious that could be a problem that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it won't be a problem. Now, will they get busted
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: with a hooker? Maybe Vegas? All right?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: All right, last one with Ben Johnson's saying in Detroit,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: do you think the Lines will be a top four
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: team in the NFC next year?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And I was surprised he stayed, but the word
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: was he was asking for a lot of money because
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: he wanted to stay and if someone met his money
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: then he'd have to make a tough decision. But the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Lion's ranked first in yards per game and then fourth
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and points per game. He's obvious. For two years in
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a row, he's been like he's gonna be a head coach.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: So other than like Josh Reynolds, who dropped the ball.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: People like given Dan Campbell such a hard time, But
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Josh Renolds dropped a ball. Oh yeah, So.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Even the last fourth down or second to last one,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: when they were step ten or whatever it was, it
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: was still a decent throw fourth and three, I think
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: he dropped it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So I think they'll be really good again next year.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: All right, that's the Tittle Tattle. The Tittle Tattle twenty
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: five whistles presented by Draft Kings sports book and official

  Speaker 1: in it now. Oh my gosh, these are so hard.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: These are so hard. No, no, no, I've been looking,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Come on, bones, I'm going on money lines here though,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Celtics over the Lakers money Kevin, please let him talk, Kevin,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: let me talk the Jazz over the Sixers money line
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and be still out. No, he's in. It's game to game.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It's like who up against because he heard. But if
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he misses like four more games, he can't be in
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the MVP race. No. Four or five depending on what
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: it is. Now. Oh, he's the best player.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And then that Pacers and Knicks that line is Nick's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: are our favorite by three. But you know what, I'm
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a big Pacers guy. Even though we had to pull

  Speaker 1: He's like, guys tonight, wetcolate patience. You're down forty too,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and have patience to make a good play. We're not
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: watching game tonight. It's the easiest sit down with the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: pacer center Myles Turner. Miles. We love this guy. Oh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: he's awesome. We went for too much access, can't watch
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it because the NBA made us pull it down. Hopefully
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it gets to go back up soon. But he's a former
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: first round pick, the longest tenured pacer on the current roster.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Here he is Miles Turner. Miles, we were with the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: game last night as a fun one, like, yeah, yeah,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it was crazy, it was awesome. It was it was
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a Monday night and I was surprised that the place
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: was so packed out on a Monday.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: The Celtics good club and.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You guys were playing a man down for a lot
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: of the game because Haliburton went down with injury and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you guys still like play tough. Scrappy was last night?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like it was a scrap of your game?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Then normally because you guys had to uh a little
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: bit adapt to like one of your main guys being out.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, any time a man goes down where you have
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: to find a way to you know, rally together and whatnot.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: We just kept telling ourselves if we can make it
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: the halftime, and they got hurt, like three minutes left
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: going to half, we can just make it to halftime.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: We were to regroup and get where we need to be.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: But man, you said it, Man, just for a Monday,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: that type of environment just to you know, playing the
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Celtics like it felt like a playoff time environment and
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: you know, in the middle of the season and whatnot.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: And you know, the city's really embraced us just as
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: a team and just as an organization. Had like a
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: whole bunch of sellouts this year. I mean I've been
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: here my entire career, and this is the most I've
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: seen like the fieldhouse, like you know, like jumping in
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: live like this. So it's a perfect time to be
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: a pass.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Fan being a Texas guy. What is Indianapolis like when
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you first moved here? What was the slight culture difference is? Well,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: it's cold.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: I just say that is cold.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So, but like, what was the big difference
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you moved here, you've been here the whole time.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a big thing being from Texas. You know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: we were kind of just talking about before. Everybody loves
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: football in Texas. Texas is all football at the time.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: It's like a different religion out there. You know, you
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: come here, it's a flips it's all basketball. People love
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: their basketball out here. And that was a you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: being a hoop and whatnot and grow up in that
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: football culture, being a would be embraced like that from
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: the jump out here. I mean you go to high
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: school games and it's packed out, like you know, like
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: if you're come to one of our games and whatnot.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Being embraced in that coach was huge for me and
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: it made me love it like right away. And yeah, man,
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: it's just a great hoop state.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is Texas because you went to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: UT Texas and what we love in Tennessee. So UT
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: is Texas to us, But then they're all saying utol Tennessee.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like I feel like UT is Texas.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But so you went to UT and Texas known mostly
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: as a football school. So even when you're you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a freshman and like you're that dude. Still that's a
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: football college for the most part, but coming to a
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: place where they basketball, is there a one that's got
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to be really refreshing.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Bro. It was awesome because I mean you just you
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: almost feel like the little brother on campus in a sense,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: like you know, you're big, bro, clearly seven feet tall
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: overround campus, but you're a little bro when it came
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: to like just the history and the culture of you
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: know what it was being down south but now coming
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: here to the Midwest, and you know, even just traveling, Bro,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: you'll see Pacers fans just like random like in La
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: or just like you know, even when we go to
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: like even home in Texas or whatnot. Like that is
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: something that I wasn't really like accustomed to and whatnot.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: And just like I said, it's all about culture, man,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: It's just it's just real. It's a real thing.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I can take off my glasses and people won't come
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: up to me at an airport or out in public
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: because I don't look like I look when people see me. Right,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that's this is probably the most recognizable thing about me
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in my glasses.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: However, you cannot be.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Shorter no, not at all. Man specified by the way,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: I love the specs appreciate that. Yeah, but uh no,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I it was a running joke me and my boys.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I used to think all the time, I can throw
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: in a hoodie and then no one everything I never know,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, and you know you know
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: it's going to target or it's going like just to
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Pump the gas wouldnot think I'm throwing
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: a hoodie. I'll be cool, but it's like, nah, but
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: you can't hide seven feet like no matter how much
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: you try to, like duck and dodge. But I just
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: embraced it, man, I just I try to be a
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: man of the people of one. I'm going out to
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: try to respect, you know, just the fans and whatnot.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: And it's a mutual respect. That's another good thing around
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: the city. No one really just like bothers. You bothers.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: You you know, maybe a picture here and there, but no
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: one's really just in your face all the time. But
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: then they got respect for you know what we do.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: You know, embrace like Caro Lina.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Work Eddie's five eleven.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: He claims to be.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Six six foot, so I mean you're listed at.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Six eleven and a half. Why not cheat that extra
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: half inch?
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Bro, It's even crazier. If I go to the doctor,
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: I got to measure I'm six eleven three quarters.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: For the longest time, I was just saying it kind
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: of depends on how I feel. And the people ask
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: me one day they're going on six eleven today, like
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: you know what seven foot kind of day? Yeah, you know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I'm seven foot. It just kind of depends on how
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: I'm feeling that day. But I don't know. Just you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: the the NBA really cracked down on the whole like
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: height thing a couple of years ago. So I've been
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: stuck at six eleven three quarters long?
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Is that with your shoes on?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: With shoes on it six ten and three quarters out?
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: You can't win.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Can't you put on thicker shoes?
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if I really wanted to.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: But the same cheat is, oh.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: For sure, heels bones comes in heel well, So, like
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: you know, we do a lot of us want to
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: be taller, you know, like we think it's so cool
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: to be tall, Like, what what's it like to be
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: seven foot?
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Bro's off in the world. Definitely a different view on life.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, it has up and downs. I've you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, I had a listic because
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: I was on my phone and I wasn't paying attention.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I smacked my head on a doorway like to the
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: point where I'm like, I'm kind of down on the ground, like,
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: oh god, So I was out for like a week
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: and a half, so really, oh you know, I was out,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: bro Like it was a straight cushion, saw white flash
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: and everything. So that part of it sucks. But now
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: it's different respectable of life. I mean, you get to
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: just do things other people can't do and red stuff
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: on the top cabin and stuff like that, and you
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: can get the good cereal.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, good cereal.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Is What about airplanes though, Like you.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Are like a mini Cooper? Ever gotten one of those?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: No?
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: I never struck. Cars are definitely struggle. But I've driven
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: trucks like my entire life a big pickup truck guy.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: But airplanes, like if I don't have an x RO
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: or a first class seat, I can't fly like whatsoever,
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Like either my my feets are gonna be up like
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: like this or the person next to me just gonna
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: get it, Like I don't know.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: When did that happen for you. When did you grow
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the most and did it did it hurt because it
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't so fast?
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I was probably my biggest grow spurt. Well, honestly,
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: it was my feet. I went from a size fourteen
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: to eighteen in a matter of like two and a
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: half weeks. Bro eighteen eighteen.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I'm just kidding, I'm not.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: I went eighteen since I was like fifteen years old, man,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: and couldn't really get shoes and stuff when I was younger.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: But the hype part knees and knees in my back
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: always ached. But I grew from six four to about
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: six eight six.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: ' nine old fifteen.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I went from my first I was probably like, yeah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: it was my freshman year, so I was fifteen years
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: old going into my sophomore year. Then after that, I
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: progressively grew an inch every year, So I six eleven
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: in high school.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: If you're fifteen and you're six three or six four whatever,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you said, that's that's large even for that. Yeah, So
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: were you did you have ball handling skills at fifteen sixteen?
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Because you know, you've seen a lot of the big
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: guys now they come up with ball handling skills.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: It was a big credit to my dad. I didn't
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: want to. I wanted to just be a straight post player.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I wanted to just have my jump hook and drop
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: steps up and unders and all that stuff. But he
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: made me stay after every practice and work on my
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: jump shot and my ball handling. And you know, I
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: thought it was stupid. I was like, I don't need
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: to do this. I'm tall at everybody because I'm telling
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: you's gonna be a day we're you're gonna have to
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: be able to do everything. And then literally, I've seen
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: the NBA shift from my rookie year to now, Like
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: you said, everybody has to be able to do everything,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: and you know, big credit enough to him for that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: One of my friends plays for Oklahoma City and when
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: he played college ball, he was six nine sixty ten
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: listed around there and he was, you know, U four
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: for the most part, occasionally played you know, just a
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: straight post. But now that he's in the league, he
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: has to play more of a three at times. He
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: has to shoot outside a lot more. So he's had
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to develop that part of his game a whole lot more.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: But he's shooting like thirty five percent from three. But
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: he didn't shoot a lot of it in college because
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: he didn't need to shoot a lot of it in college.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: So when you were in high school in college, were
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: you still taking lots of mid range outside shots or
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: were they like, now you're the best here, we're gonna
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: went with you inside, Like what were you able to do?
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: So high school? You know you're pretty much the man,
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: right your big manal campas over the hell you want
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: to do? I was shooting threes. I was doing whatever,
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: like you know, I was pulling up court like just
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: go whatever I wanted to do. When you get to
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: college was a little different. I was very highly tired
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: of recruit but I came into more of a system
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: and I didn't shoot a lot of threes in college,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: like maybe maybe twelve fifteen threes. I probably Barber Show
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: on the year, couldn't. Yeah, I I've definitely had the capability,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: but I didn't put it like on display as much
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: as I would have liked to. And even my rookie year,
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I didn't really shoot a lot of threes. Then as
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: I started working and working and realizing where the game
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: was coming to, it was all threes and layups, no
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: longer mid range or whatnot. So I was able to,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: you know, get my percentages up. But I've spent a
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: lot of time working on my threes in the summertime,
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: and obviously, you know, shoot threes in this day.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: You're kind of a veteran around here, like you've been
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: with Indie your entire career. Like you said, do you
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: when rookies come in or the younger guys come in,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: do you kind of kind of talk to them a
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: little bit about money and life a little bit since
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: you kind of know what to do with that.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: In the NBA.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an extent. I mean, I think there's a
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: big curve you have to figure out, like on your own,
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: you can really have someone take something that's in the face.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Until you actually go through this yourself, or go through
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: the trials relation yourself, you're not gonna fully be able
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: to appreciate or understand this. So if I see, you know,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: a rook ono splurgeon or going crazy, it might be like, hey, man,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: like you know, let's let's think let's take a long
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: term here. But for the most part, it's not really
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: like that, Like you have a locker room for like
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: this younger generation is like a lot smarter and whatnot.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: They have more and more stuff. You have people on TikTok.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: They can show you how to manage your money now,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Like it's just it's a little different. But being the
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: big brother figure is more is important than anything because
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: it's a long ruling season. Man, Like you play eighty
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: two games, play four or five times a week. That's
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: the part where Rooks probably like struggle the most is
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: just trying to figure out what to eat, how they're
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: how to get their bodies right, how to maintain their sleep,
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: you know, waking up on the road and I know
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: what city you're in. Like that little stuff is the
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: stuff they need more help with.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That was so do you think that with the current
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: environment college basketball where players are now able to make
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: some money with nil that that actually warms it up
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to get to the NBA because they're going from no
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: money or to actually a lot of money, especially if
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: they're you know, a first round draft pick, Like that's
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: got to help a bit. You've already got an agent
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: sort of and you're making some money. So maybe even
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: before you draft a kid, you can kind of see
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: what he's doing in that part of his life as well. Wow.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great way of looking at it. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: just think that the biggest goal for a lot of
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: us is you know, you know, putting our parents, putting
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: our families in better positions or whatnot. So I think
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: think the NIL is obviously a great thing to have
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: the introductory phase to it, but I think a lot
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: of that money at that time probably go back to
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: your family, Whereas when you get to the league and
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: you start actually you know, making money for yourself, like
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: you start doing more stuff for yourself, like I don't
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: know whether it's like starting starting your four one K
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: right away or I don't know, Like my first person
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: was like a social my pickup truckle and that was
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: a big thing for me, like something I always wanted.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: So it definitely helps the inductory phase. If gms are
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: looking at spending, habits and all that type of stuff
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: from there, it might be a little too like you know, micromanaged,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: but it is definitely a good like gauge you know,
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: to you know, come into this level of a set.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I try to stay somewhat fit, and I've had a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: couple of TV shows where I've had to be fit
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: for the show, like climbing stuff, or living in the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: wilderness that kind of crap. But I just now started
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: to really focus on stretching. Even in the past, like
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I couldn't go down to my shins, but now I
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: can go almost palms almost palms to the floor. Never
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: been able to do that? How important? And when did
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you kind of embrace that? I won't say next level,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: but I used to just run, run and lift, run
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and left get better at the skill. But until I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: started doing like stretching, like I now feel like I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: can do things better simply because of the stretching and
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: like that Tier two.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Exercise, Bro' it's huge for us because the biggest thing
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: about stretch is injured prevention. When those tissues are like
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: long and able to like just to your elongate your
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: tisus and your muscles and whatnot, you're saving yourself. Make
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: maybe five six years in your career. For me personally,
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: I started doing yoga like a lot, maybe like my
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: second and third year, but I was doing yoga more
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: for like just what you say, like the stretching and
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: the aspect of things. And I really started doing yoga
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: for like the mental aspect of things, the meditation, just
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: the actual escape from reality and whatnot. Like that part
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: of it was huge for me. But being able to
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: be limber, especially how tall you know I am and whatnot,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: is huge, you know for what I do. So big
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: ups to you for even able.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: To Actually.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: It's like to late. It's too late, but like maybe
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I can like get through or four extra years of life.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to get a few more in
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the league. I'm trying to get a few more in the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: big league, the big the big League, the big league
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: of life. Last night, we're watching you play, and you're
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: always working Like That's how I would describe it, Like
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it didn't matter if the ball was with you or not.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: We were watching.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: We were watching you last night, and you just always
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: working in the paint, getting out, getting back in. Sometimes
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: are you just like give me the freaking ball looking
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: on me? Cause like like mouse in the house last
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: night a couple of times and I was like, get.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: In the ball. Yeah, man, we're not gonna we're not
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: gonna go too into that. But uh, you know one
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: thing I've had to learn, you know, being in my
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: position is you know, early in my career, I would
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: just stand still. I would either just be standing in
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: the corner or to stand on the block, just like
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: waiting for something to happen at the point of the recorder.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Now we are trying to make stuff happen where I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: setting a flare screen, whether I'm trying to like run
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: up and cut or get this guy open to get
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: myself a chance. Like yeah, when you have smaller guys
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: on you, you're constant thinking look, look, look, look. But
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: then your guards are always looking at a whole bunch
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: of different things like how do I score? How do
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: I get everybody else involved? So it's just a you
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: have to be a whoe machine, you know, doing things
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: the right way. But a lot of that for me
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: is just being demonstrative and being like yo, we're yelling
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: or cussing some Yeah, like yo, I need the ball.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: But like you're right, I'm very active, you know. I
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: try to never stand still because now I'm doing myself
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: and my team at the service.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: My final five questions Miles, as a big you're guarding
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: the paint and these little guy comes in, does a
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: euro on you? Is it frustrating when you're just like,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: come on, dude, those I saw three steps like.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: I saw that.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately, it's the NBA man, and traveling is something that
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: is just uh, you know, they're they It's very rare
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: that they call it. It has to be so obvious.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: But like guys get away with a lot of stuff
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: in this league and whatnot, and you know, I just
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: I'm passive, like the part of frustration. It's just like
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: damn either I'm just gonna finuld We're gonna block it,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: like I'm not give travel.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: This program. I like the Pacers. The Pacers feel like
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: they care.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I feel like that, but the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Pacers feel like it's an organization that like cares about
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: their players.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Why do I feel like that?
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Because you're seeing it. Man, I think that we've developed
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: such an amazing culture here. It's not like this everywhere.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, I've only been here, so I'm biased, of course,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: but I hear from other free agent other players that
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: you know, just taking care of something simplest. Take care
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: of players family like when they come in here and
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: making sure they're good, Like they go to the extra
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: mile to make sure. You know, friends and family, you know,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: wife's daughters, all that like are fine even if it's
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: our off day, like we need I don't know bringing
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: someone to wash our cars or something like that, Like
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: it's very first class service like everything you do here,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: you know, especially Nindy. Like I said, I'm not exactly
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: sure what it's like everywhere else, but I know that
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: is not as good as it is here. You know,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: So who is.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: If you see you're matched up with blank, You're like,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: oh man, this is gonna be a because they just
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: go like it's gonna be a tough night.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: There's a couple, man, I mean the guys like you know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: like Jok and Denver, he's his imprint on the game
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: is everything he can do. More than a score he
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: can score, he can facilitate. I mean, he's about three
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: hundred pounds, Like it's a lot to deal with whatnot.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: And Be's the same way. I mean, there's guys like
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: even the Kit in Houston, like Sengoon, like he's someone
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: who's very mobile and whatnot. There's a lot of active bigs,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: you know nowadays it's not just guys that are you know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: blocking shots and rebounding and facilitating. Like there's a lot
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: more to the game though.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Who's who's your want? Like if I see this, I
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a long night for me, or
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: at least a hard night, like you go sweat a
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: little more.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: I can't let them know, all.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Right, I see that, Myles. I hate Legos, Dude, Like really,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I tell you why I hate them.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I hate them because I have
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: four kids and every time I try to get to
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the kitchen and step, I want to step and it's
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: gonna piss me off.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: And I hate them.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, what do you love so much about them?
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not a father yet, so I haven't I
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: guess experienced that notion of it. But my biggest thing, Bro,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: it is just such an escape for me because like
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: I think I have a very like I'm not diagnosed,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: but the ADHD thing, and like the super like I
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: have to be doing like three or four things at
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: one time. That's really helped call me down with that.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Like whenever I have a hard day or a hard
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: game or something like that, I don't do anything basketball.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: I shut all that out. Like I don't get on Twitter,
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: I don't nothing. I go there and I just build,
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: bro and I can be in there for hours, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: whether I'm I'm just doing an actual like set or
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: just free building, it whatnot. It takes my mind off
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: of everything and people, you know, my people that live
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: we know not to bother me. Just like I'm just
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: in my space with my zone. And then obviously you
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: know I've put out a lot of you know, my
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: content with my work and whatnot, and something that's takes
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: a lot of pride in, you know.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Draw and paint because you're like an artist.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no exactly. I like to view myself. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: mean even just stuff I do in the court and
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: it's like a pri product of my art. But I
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: could draw a little bit. I mean I tried to
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: paint a little bit. No no grand you know artists
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: or whatnot. But when it comes to the painting and stuff,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: but yeah, I can express myself pretty well.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: When you build a piece, is it together forever and
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: you do it?
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: That's a big lego sin never glued to legos together.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: I mean if you're like a I don't know, you're
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: at a museum or something like that and you're doing
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: like some auction off work, then maybe, but like the
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: glue just makes everything a mess and it's like impossible,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: like just to you mess up, like you screwed.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You know what. I mean, I was just glue together
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and I got them work. My excuse is why I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: can't do it all?
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: Final question.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Basketball a big part of your life, obviously, but not
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the most important part of your life.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: At what point did you.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Realize that.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: You're not basketball? Basketball is not you. It's what you do,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: but it's not all of you. What age did you
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: finally realize that and then what is important to you?
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Man, I think a couple of years ago, so
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: maybe like my fourth to fifth year in the league,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: the biggest goal was to get to the NBA so
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: you can make a lot of money and be famous
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: and this is and that, like that's how people viewed
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: and whatnot. The fame is not all it's cracked up
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: to be. The money. I mean, it's if anybody you
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: know hears that and they say, oh, money isn't everything,
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: It isn't. It helps a lot. It helps. The travel
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: helps you know, you know, provide a lifestyle for you
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: and your loved ones. But it's not the only thing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: With this, bro, I've just really realized that, like love
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: is everything for me, whether it's like the love I
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: received from my family, the love that I give out
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: back to my people of our community. Like that's the
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: only real thing I really believe in this world, you
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: know what I mean, other than my faith, you know,
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: on the higher calling. But like like just truly just
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: love man. And I don't want to get too like
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: you know, touching on that, but like it's just one
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: of the things that it's one of the things I've
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: experienced over the past couple of years that I think
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: is real. And the money and stuff that's going to
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: fade eventually, the fame, people are gonna forget who you are. Eventually,
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: like the next next wave of Miles Turners, the basketbll
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: players are coming in every single year. Like all that
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: stuff is cool. It's very surface level. So I mean
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: just just my loved ones, my peoples, and just what
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: I provide is both things are the most important for me.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: We appreciate the time you spent with us. It's like
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you're known as like the dude that people love around here.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: We were walking even walking through here and it was like,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Miles wishes you a happy day.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: There's like a sign of you out there with.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Like wishing and we appreciated that. We appreciate it. Like
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: he there's the ice skating drink from miles. I'm like,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: you got your run for mayor of this town. But
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it's like and this is the last, last, last question,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: but it's like and being around you, you're so warm
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and welcoming, like as soon as we walked in. But
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: on the court, I don't it's a different It looks
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: like a different person. Is it a switch or is
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: it a gradual? Like how do you get there?
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: It's kind of a trip persona. I guess. I feel
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: like when you get in between them lines, you're taught
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: as a kid, like you mean, fresh, friendly as you
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: want to have all the friends the world. These lines
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: you got to change your mindset, like completely, Like you
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: know you're going to war basically, you know you don't
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: want to be the friendly one going to war and whatnot.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: You know you'll get you know, you get taken advantage of.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: But when I'm out there, I have to put our
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: different persona. I have to be the face and the
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: guys to my team, you know, to be able to
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: U just look on and be able to embrace as well.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: But when I'm off the floor, I'm gonna be me
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: bro like the six of his basketball or whatever. It's
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: my job.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean, like, give them the ball,
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: mouse in the house, Give them the ball. I'm saying
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: it right now. First, what I kept yelling last night.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Mouse in the house and they couldn't hear you. They
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: couldn't know.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: I really appreciate your time, absolutely, indeed, thanks Miles.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Miles is awesome. Also, PACER's assistant coach, General Parker ran
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Us do some drills. We got to hang out with
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: him for a little bit. For me, I didn't ask
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: for this. I just got very fortunate because he's also
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: an Arkansas legend as far as basketball. And I was
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: proud of you for being cool about I wasn't that cool,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: but thank you. His third season with the Pacers as
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: assistant coach, we had some drills with them. He's super
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: cool coach for the time.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: I gotta tell you, I.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: See this right there, well, Pig Sue.
• 35:05

  Speaker 1: have to be. But I was like, but I naturally am.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: But I was come across half court. Just drill it,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: just drill it, like I'm not even asking a question.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: All I'm doing is going, do you know awesome you
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: were and how awesome you were? Like so just first
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: of all as a fan, like it's super cool to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: feed to spend a few minutes.
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: I appreciate that.
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: Man, thanks for having me. I'm glad you're saying this
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: right now while Miles is here.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: So I told him before. I told him before you
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: came in. I was like, man, I was. I was
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a big fan cross half court. He's lethal as soon
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: as he crossed the line. Did you always have the
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: green light?
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: Even when I didn't have it, I had it. You know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: I'm a shot taker. I'm a tough shot maker. So
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: when I didn't have the green light, I just made
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: sure I made shots. And then the coach was like, well,
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: I guess you can shoot it.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Which which coach with your shooting coach? Which which coach
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: do you credit with giving you either the confidence to
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: take it to the next level or even maybe uh,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: don't take as many bad shots.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: You know what, I think it's just myself, you know,
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: just growing up playing a lot of basketball, you kind
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: of figure out who you are as a player. And
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: I figured out, maybe in high school that I was
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: a pretty good shooter, and you know, I'm an aggressive
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: basketball player and I take chances and uh, like I said,
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: at Arkansas, I was just I was able to make
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: a lot of shots, Uh, just across half court.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Transition to yeah, you remember I could walk through everyone.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Most of them. Uh.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: So you play a bunch of years in the league,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: at what point do you realize you think you want
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to stay in the league to coach? Like when did
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that hit you from a player when you're like, I
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: want to continue my career in basketball, but as a coach.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: You know, it happened.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: I would probably say two thousand and fourteen. I was
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: with the Charlotte Bobcats and we were playing the Boston
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: Celtics and Kimba Walker. We were getting killed with just
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: a pistol action and uh, you guys may not understand
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: what that is, but we don't. It's a It's a
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: simple action that every team runs, and we were getting
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: killed with it, and Kimball came to be like, yep,
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: JP like what do we do? And I was saying
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: I do this, do that, and do this and it
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: and it kind of worked and maybe maybe you coach
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: coach right there as a player, so tree rollers and
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: then then me player coach.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Did you know what you were telling them, coach or
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: were you just kind of try this?
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: No? No, I knew.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: I knew what I was telling my I've been in
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: that situation before, Like I said, every team runs the
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: same action, we run it now. Uh, so it was
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: it was something that I seen before.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: So what if pistol action?
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: Cause we don't know, just a simple pass ahead from
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: the one to the two and then then the one
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: flies off. Simple action. Yeah, it's a different language right now.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Then when you make it, that's when you run back.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: That's my pencil action. You want to make a layup?
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Not it?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, we don't want to do that.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Not in today's good Last night, the game was pretty
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: intense the whole game.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: We were at.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: The game is a great win last night, But you guys,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: how competitive are those games?
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: For real?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: Mid season?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: You're getting close to the All Star break, Like, how
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: much are guys still in it?
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Then our team is very much into it.
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: H Boston self is really good team, really good team,
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: and uh it's a team that we beat once before
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: and they beat us as well, so we wanted to
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: come out and make a statement. Uh they're in the
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: East Eastern Conference with us, So huge game, great win
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: for our team. Ty Reese is going down. We just
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: came together as a group and we got to.
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: Win final three.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Questions for you when you're coaching internationally, Cus Fall, I
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: mean I might have followed you, you know where you
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: went settled down. I know I'm been a huge fan
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and still am. What is that culture change like for you?
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: As we were talking to Miles about going from you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Texas to India to Indiana, but you're going into another
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: country and you know, South America, Europe, Like do you
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: just get to live basketball or where's your favorite place
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: to live? And what was it like to live there?
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Well? I lived in Russia for about six months.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, Yes, this was cool.
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: That's crazy. You went cold. I'm going like, oh Communists
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: like just like yeah, wow.
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: Well in the basketball world is very small, right, So
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: I'm in Russia. I went out to a club and
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: I saw maybe ten fifteen guys that I know Russia's
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: like being in New York.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: They really they will throw you in prison if they
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: feel like it.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, made you get a itch, follow the law.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I hear you.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: He's like one of those guys I having drug Vladimir
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Putin coach. Coach, you're on the bench like sometimes you
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: got to you got a fan right behind you, or
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: like the fans are right there on.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: You in the NBA.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you hear crap when you're on the road
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: all the time or do you like to turn around
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: and be like shut up or do you talk to
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: them at all?
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a look at these guys. Look at these
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: guys perking up. So you have myself.
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: I'm born and raised on the South side of Chicago,
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: and we have another coach, Moe Baker, who's from Saint Louis,
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: and so we hear. We hear every We hear everything, right,
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: and we kind of let these guys, the fans there, fanatics, right,
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: we let them talk. But when they start getting on
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: our players, Mo and I, we get defensive. And so
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: if we stand up, we turn around and say, hey, listen,
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: chill out. If you want to cheer for your team,
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: cheer for a black shot and may back that's that's fine,
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: But when you say eight miles you suck, We're not
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: having that.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: So we kind of set them straight.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: After because they are so close that they think they
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: can say whatever they want to someone that's five feet
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: away from.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's.
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: It's not fair because when players say stuff back to them, now,
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: it's it's an issue middle finger. All that kind of
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: stuff is it's not fair. So Mo and I kind
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: of take on the challenge of shutting those guys up.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Final question for you, just basketball in general, Like, what
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: has basketball provided.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: You a great life?
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: Basketball in life is synonymous, right. It teaches you how
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: to uh sacrifice, how to work hard, and it's just
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: provided me, you know, a great life to take care
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: of my family, my friends, to travel.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: It's a game that I love. I still love it
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: to this day.
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: Just being part of something that's bigger than just yourself, right,
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: So for me, being able to coach and being able
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: to help guys mouths and really the younger guys coming
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: into this league is everything for me.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: We really appreciate the time. I don't know if I
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: mentioned this, but I'm a huge fan, all right. There
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: is coach.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Coach, appreciate it, thank you, thank you.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: One other thing we got to do is work with
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the sports performance coach, Andy Martin, and so we did
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: talk about a lot of things these athletes too. So
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: here he is talking about recovery, hydration, and then he
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: put us through a grueling workout which sucked. But here
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: he is Andy Martin of the Indiana Pacers. I was
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: talking to Miles in the last couple of years of
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: really embraced stretching, No, a couple of months, he's talking
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: about years. Mine's a couple of months. Like and I
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: was a decent athlete, but like a high school athlete, right,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: but I could never get to my shins even stretching.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: But I spent like the last two or three months,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes a day, three times a day stretching.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: It's good.
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: It's never too late to start. It's gonna save you
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: a lot of aggregation on hundred.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, for you senior citizens. But I hear you.
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: Now I'm a little I'm hurt right now. That's okay,
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: that's a right, sorry, he said, it's good for you.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I hear And I was talking to Miles
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: and he was like, Hey, it's you know, awesome at
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: injury prevention. But I would think with a lot of
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: guys who are naturally athletic that their whole life they
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: have been the best athlete and probably haven't had to
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: go next level with the stretching or even the nutrition.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Like how much work do you have to do with
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: young athletes that teach them, Well, if you're not doing
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: it now, you're eventually going to do it, and this
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: is what we should do.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a big part of it.
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: And that first point you made, like, these guys have
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: always been the best player on the court, every court
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: they've been on until they get to this level. Then
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: the issue with that is once they get to this level,
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: everybody's really good. So you have to have a certain
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: requisite level of talent to be able to make it
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: to the league. But then what separates guys from Okay,
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: I was in the league for a year or two,
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: or I had a really productive career, or you know
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: guys like Pargo who had a really long career. We're
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: in a lot of different places the dedication and the
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: work ethic and just the layering different levels of professionalism
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: into it in terms of how you take care of
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: your body, how you manage your sleep, What are your
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: nutrition habits? Are you stretching? Are you doing all this
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: port performance stuff that you know, we try to help
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: guys with and using all of those resources is what
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: really separates guys from being Okay, I was in the
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: league versus I was really successful league.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Oh I've been a hyperbaric chamber sometimes, but I don't
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: even know what that does?
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: What what does that do?
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: So a hyperbaric chamber basically just puts more oxygen into
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: your blood, which then helps your body do the normal
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: processes that it would do from a healing or generation standpoint.
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: It just sort of speeds up the process a little bit.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: So it's for real, like that thing works. Oh yeah,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I mean I get in. I pay the money for it,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: like one hundred and eight bucks in it for the hour.
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: It is expensive, but it's money well spent, especially if
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: you're really trying to you know, dial in you know,
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: like you said to stretching. Yeah, that's that's the same
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: type of stuff that we try and convince our guys
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: to do.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: So as far as diet goes for some of these players,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: do you have to kind of just trust that they
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: follow it, and they do that when they're not around you.
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: There is a certain level of trust that we try
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: to give to these guys. At the same time, there's
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: a certain level of education that we try and give
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: to them, because we aren't going to follow them around
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: twenty four hours a day and knock stuff out of
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: their hand. But what we try and emphasize is viewing
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: you know, and the nutrition and your nutrition have it's
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: as fueling like your your job is a professional athlete,
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: so the nutrition really is an important part of that.
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: And then kind of taking the guesswork out of it
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: for them. We try and provide as much you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: high quality food as we can. We try and set
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: them up with chefs when they're here or to take
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: stuff with them on the road. So we try and
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: make it as easy and as not labor intensive for
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: them as we can. But like you said, at the
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: same time, at the end of the day, we're not
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: going to be around you know, the hour if they're
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: not in the building, so we do have to give
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: them an education in terms of what they need and
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: then trust that they're going to follow those steps.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: All right, Final three questions. We've been to a few
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: places in our journeys where they have little pea containers
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: in the toilets and they always want to check and
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: see the pea color, and it's awesome. The hydration things, yeah,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: but we don't turn them in.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, we don't.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: We just pain in love, of course, and then go
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: wonder what that means? What does that mean?
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: So those measure your you're in specific gravity, which is
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: basically just a way to see how well hydrated you are.
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: So the old adage used to be, you know, if
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: it was if it was dark, the darker yellow was
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: the less hydrated you.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Are, or mine's bloody a lot?
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: Is that good?
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: That's not great.
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, that's a completely the hyperdark.
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: It's not going to help you. Right, that's a different
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: would you see, that's a different problem ahead. But no.
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: So in general, that meter that goes in the urinals,
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: it will either give you that blinking red light, which
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: is bad you need to go hydrate immediately, flashing yellow,
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: which is where a lot of people stay, especially dur
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: in the morning. Okay, you need to do a little
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: bit of hydration. Green, you're fine, keep doing what you're doing.
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: So if you're green or yellow, that's where you're going
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: to be most of the day. Red is like, okay,
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: I need to go do something about this now. So
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: it lets us know if there's a situation that needs
• 46:42
  Speaker 7: to be addressed immediately.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: So if our pie is completely clear though, that's hydrated,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: that's great, really, But my piece Red two not good,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: that's less great. How do you keep them on video
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: games all night? Well, that's a good one, because my
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: wife has trouble with me doing that. I got to
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: get up at three thirty in the morning to do
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: my radio show.
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: Great question.
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: I have no idea, absolutely no idea. If you play
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: video games all if we can figure out how to
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: do that, we'll win more games. But that's one of
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: the harder things to do with NBA.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Athletes, Like secretly set up an account is not yourself
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: and know their accounts and be like, hey, it's me Jimmy.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Is your name Miles? Then watch how long he's playing.
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: They figure that out immediately.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: All right, All right, I.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Was gonna ask about soreness. Soreness Does it ever go
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: away for these guys or are they constantly.
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: Soar It's there's constantly a level of soreness inherently because
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: these guys are playing a sport that's kind of difficult
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: on their body.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: It takes it.
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, you guys know just how much a toll
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: traveling takes on your body. So then adding in trying
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: to play, you know, twenty thirty thirty five minutes a game,
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: there's always going to be a level of soreness. It's
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: that accompanies that where we come in on the performance
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: staff and the athletic training staff is trying to manage
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: that soreness down to a level that they can still
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: be productive on the court. Very seldomly is a guy
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: ever not sore at all. But if we can get them, okay,

  Speaker 7: you in some sort of equilibrium or at least just
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: so they're not functionally limited when they go to play,

• 48:13
  Speaker 7: out and produce and help our team win. They're trying

• 48:21
  Speaker 7: main part of our job.
