• 7:04
  Speaker 3: They always say like when you were that's the first
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: big decision you make as a young man.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: And for me, I only took one official visit.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I took one official visit and I got there on
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: like Friday morning. By Saturday, I remember, I was at
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the bookstore with my mom, like, yo, like we need
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: to start buying hoodies, like I'm coming to do.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Damn.

  Speaker 3: I just felt that the vibe or the team, how
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: they felt about coach and how they talked about them,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: how close they was. I was like, man, I don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: want to waste no time of going to no other visits.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I was like, man, I want to go to Duke.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So that was like one of the best decisions I
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: ever could have made. Some of my best friends I
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: ever met from Duke shout out to John Shire. That's
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: somebody I talked to every other day still, and you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: we always talk about the brotherhood, and that's the real thing,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: regardless of if you ever played with them or if
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: they was there twenty five years before you. It's always
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: love whenever you see anybody that had that uniform. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to be a part of something that
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: was bigger than myself. And knowing that I was only
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: gonna go to college for one year.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Damn, you knew that that's a lesson. Yeah, I did.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I knew that I wanted to.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be somewhere that was gonna set me
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: up for the big stage. Right, you go to Duke,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that's the best, no disrespecting nobody else. That's the best.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: One of the best college programs. Right, we always on
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: national TV. The expectations is high media training, all those
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: things is just preparing you for the next level.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And I was gonna ask, like, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I know that that's lit, but what was that experience
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: like that first time playing in Camberton door, Like, what
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was that first because y'r fan's crazy as hell. Yeah, So,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people don't know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I got hurt in our second protein so we had
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: our second prote I ended up. I had like a
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: little stress fracture in my toe and I missed. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: missed our first twelve games.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So I remember that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I uh my first time playing. I think we played
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: like Tennessee State at home. And it wasn't no low management,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: no minute restriction. I played like twenty two minutes straight.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I called it cramp.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: So my first game was a little, a little up
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: and down, but we got the best fans. A lot
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: of people when they come to do they don't understand it,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: like this is the gym, like it's so small. They
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: will pay They think that's where we practice at. It's
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: only like six thousand people in there, but uh, you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: they definitely supporting the energy. It's crazy and uh you
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: know it's bittersweet. I only got the experience that for
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: one year, but it definitely was a great experience.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: I was it playing for coach I said, Coach Cal
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: playing count my dog.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You know, blow head, thinking about their money, family, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to the game.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: How was that playing for coach ko Bro? I heard
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: they got a your ass a couple of times.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Hey, yo, all right, Jason.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Jason here because they lost my marriage Jason, all right?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Playing for coach K was great.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, the thing I respect most about coaches, he's
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: a leader of men, and he really understands how to
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: galvanize a team and how to get you to really
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: compete and play art. And I think that's the biggest
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: thing for kids that's coming out of high school. Everybody's talented,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: but how can you work well with a team. How
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: do you learn how to compete? How do you learn
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: how to get outside yourself? Get outside your comfort zone?
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I think Coach K was great at motivating and he
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: wanted the best for me, like he wanted me to
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: be the best pocty.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: He wanted me to be wanted done.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: He wanted me to go be where I'm matt And
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I think that was that was important. That was special
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: because you hear a lot of stories and coaches that
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: like want to hold guy's back and want to keep
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: them k like, he pushes you to be the best
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: version of yourself, and that's somebody. Coach k texts me today,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: like even at seventy seven, like you know, he still
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: tap in and we talked all the time.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: Did he ever trow 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 3: No, he definitely was a master manipulator. I mean we
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: was playing Virginia Virginia. He was playing a half Virginia
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: and it was the best game I had in college
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: at the time. I had two points at halftime, but
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: we was winning. I thought I was playing defense. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: came at halftime, I'm dapping everybody up. I'm like, yo, like,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: you know, let's keep it going, We're gonna win, Like
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: keep playing the right way. No, Lie, I'm sitting next
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: to Millach.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Kate came in.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I'm like I'm leaning for it. I'm like, yo, like
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: let's go.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Came in, took his jacket off, and he threw it
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: at me. He was, like, you saw fast Saint Louis kidd.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: He said, if I knew you was gonna play like this,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I would have left you back.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: In Saint Louis.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Damn, I'm talking about He cussed me out the whole
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: twelve minutes, and like Mills, he was, I don't get mad,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: like I don't like nobody called me soft, and I
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: don't want nobody disrespect wrong.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: From That's how Newly talked to Murph relate.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You know, bro, my cousin.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: But I think coaches just been there, like he knew
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: how to push your buttons.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I scored twenty eight points in the second
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: half because I was just angry. And you know, at
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the time I didn't understand, but after I realized, like
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: he just knew how to coach certain players.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: He was excellent at that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: That's hard on points in the second half.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Dam you didn't get no shots, getting no shots, Bro,
• 12:42

• 13:10
  Speaker 1: get you off. One of the worst times of my
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: life doing that period because every cold player was going
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to do and we didn't have a chance at all. No, No,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: dou is a tough place to play. I mean, I killed.

• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we went to and.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: One and if.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: We ain't get cheated in South Carolina, we would have
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: met him in the championship.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: They lost South Carolina.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: They went to the final four.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: That yeah, bro, that was that was that was out
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: of shape.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Glenn Davis, Bill Kennedy necks too.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Oh you know Carolina fan, you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Like coach call right, but I fuck with coach cal
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: off Court talk about it in two different ministries about
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you said, you know it's gonna be a one to doe.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Season ends? How was that?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Like knowing you was like time to get paid, like
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: transition to be a pro? Like dream come true? How
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: was that moment? How was that summer?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I ain't gonna lie?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: We lost to South Carolina and I was I was upset,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: like because I was fully involved, like I I was
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: at Duke.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: I was like, I want to see this through. I
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: wanted to win the championship.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: The start of the season wasn't great, but we end
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: up we won the a CC tournament. We want four
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: games in four days. Nobody had ever done that, so
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: we ended up being a two seeds. So I'm thinking, like, yo,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: were really gonna win the championship. We lost in the
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: second round and after the game, I remember I was
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: like DEVI state I was sick the medium in the
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: locker room, and I remember I got to the crowd.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I wanted to go to see my mom and it
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: just it just clicked. I was like, damn, like my
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: dream about to come true. And at that moment, it
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: wasn't like I didn't care that we just lost. It
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: was like, man, this is what I've been working towards
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: my whole life. And it 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 3: And at that moment, I wasn't that sad, No more
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: like I was. I was damn there excited. But I
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: remember I was a little nervous calling coach k of
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: like telling him like, yo, I'm not coming back to
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: school and Coach was like, you pick your agent yet
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: you ready? I was like, damn, Coach, like you don't
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: want to come back. He's like, no, Like you gotta go.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: That's real.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: That's real for sure.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: But like I always was going to leave, but I
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: had just built the connection and relationship at Duke and
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: you know, still tied into this day, and you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I was just happy to be a part of that program.

• 17:39
  Speaker 1: coach want you to leave and like telling you pick
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: our agent and stuff.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Our coach was nothing like that, bro.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: He was ready for them niggas to go.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: They he was hating on us doing the draft. He's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: telling two people were bad teammates, all type of stuff.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. So that's dope that coach k did
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that for Yeah, yeah, that's love. Listen, we know where
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you win the draft. But did you think he was
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: going number one? Mm hmmm, an't think so number one?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And then too was Lonzo. I ain't gonna lie Markel
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Folks was cold in college, was wrong in fact? Watch Yeah,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he was nice. I watched him. I was like, yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: he's special. Alonzo was nice. But LeVar balls marketing skills
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that entire summer. Yeah, that was him. That was crazy.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: That's that should be spoken on more because I mean,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: obviously he was deservers wrong, but LeVar saw him so
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: high for real, he saw him so hot going on campaign.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Who else parent was on ESPN BRO before the Like,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he really went crazy for that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: His daddy's got to do better.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to be better. But it was a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: blessing not to go to l A for me. For you,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you didn't go to I mean, he probably
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: would have been filthy out there anyway, but I think
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Boston was just perfect.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, it definitely worked out. But like you said,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: during that process, the narrative was it was consensus that
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Markel was going number one, and when the Lakers got
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the second pick, it was like Lonzo was going too.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: So it was never the thought of my mind. Was like,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I just felt like everybody had their mind made up
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and I was in LA. So Philly had the number
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: one picket first, they came to watch me work out.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: The Celtics came to watch me work out. I'm sorry.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: The Celtics had the number on Picck at the time.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: They came to watch me in Phoenix. So Phoenix was
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: four so I work out for all of them. They
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: come watch me. Everybody was raving about the workout. But
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: then somebody I ain't gonna say his name of somebody
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: on the Celtics front office was like, Yo, one of
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the best workouts I've seen. He was like, good luck
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: in your career. But you know, we got the number pick,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: we probably not gonna pick you. So at the time
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I was like like, damn, I don't want to go. Damn, Brad,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: you did that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: No, it wasn't bad. I'm just playing.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Let me suffer. I'm sorry.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Come like, Brad, I got so for me.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I grew up with Kobe fan like, I always wanted
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: to play for the Lakers, so don't do it for
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: them to have the number two pick, And it was
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: like they didn't even it wasn't even have thought that
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I was going to get drafted. Like that was kind
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: of devastating. So I never worked out for the Lakers.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: They never came to watch me work out. And then
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: it was like a week before the draft, Philly and
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Boston traded the thirty one three and I wanted to
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: go to Phoenix. Phoenix had the fourth pick. Errow Watson
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: was a coach I went out there. I was looking
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: at houses. The weather was nice, and they had a
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: young team. I was like, man, I'm gonna go get
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the play. And then I remember Coach k was like, Yo,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Boston want to have you for a second workout.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: You should go.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I'm like, coach, like, they just came off the Eastern
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Conference finals. They got a veteran team, like, I'm probably
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: not gonna play. I don't want to go. Yeah, And
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: he was raving about Brad Stevens. He was like, Brad's
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: one of the best coaches in the league. Like, just
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: go for another workout. And I remember I went up
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: to Boston like three days before the draft. I had
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: another workout and I didn't know where I was getting
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: drafted until they called my name. Dang, and but you
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: know the rest was history and it all worked.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Out for sure. That's crazy because I know from the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: outside looking in, like I said, we fell from some
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: of the propaganda from the bar ball. We didn't know
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it was sowing up like that. So to hear you say,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: like the Lakers was that locked in? That's crazy. Yeah.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I was sick too, because it was like I was
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: so close to my dream and I might play for
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the Lakers. It was like best case scenario, and they
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: was mine was made up. They didn't want to come
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: watch me work out and had me come in.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, so you didn't think he was
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: gonna play it all Boston.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: And then I get drafted. Gordon Hayward signed with the Celtics.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I called my agent like, yo, I gotta get traded
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: in the Summer League before I ever played a game,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: like yo.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: He like relaxed, just waited out.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Man, he's doing too much.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Basically, he's like you got I'm like, yo, I'm trying
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I want.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I didn't get drafted to come off the bench and
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: not start. Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, yo, just like you're in a
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: great organization. They're gonna teach you how to play.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: The right way.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: I ain't gonna would have been worried.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wrapped the head said j.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: They picked up Jordan and then JB just got drafted
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the year before, and JB didn't even play that much
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a year.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: So I would have been concerned too.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Ain't so at first, I'm like, but this is before
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Kyle even came. But then when Kyle came here was cool.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Because we we traded a lot of people for kay
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I ain't lit.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you had wonder like you had. I'll rock
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: with you purely off the skill. But I think what's
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: so crazy about you is like you accomplished so much
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: in a short little time that people like want to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: down play. It's just like it's not his fault that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: he came in the league killing a lot of people,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: taking adjustment periers. You was on the veteran team with
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of people trying to get contracts, with a
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: lot of people trying to prove themselves. It still flourished,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: like I had a crazy work got with crazy man.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah that was at that time. That was like the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: most fun I ever had playing basketball. Like we lost
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: our first two games and Gordon got hurt on opening
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: the night.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Which was that was like tragic.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we lost in Cleveland, played back to back, we
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: lost to Milwaukee.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, it's gonna be a tough year.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: We won sixteen games.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Straight and that's when I was like, Kyrie might be
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: the best basketball player I've ever seen player. Kyrie won
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: and he got hurt and we had like twenty three
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: games left, and I remember it was me Smart t Row,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Marcus Morris, Baines al and we was already the two
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: seed and we had twenty three games that like play
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: like learn how to play with each other. And then
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: we got to the playoffs and it was like, man,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: were just like everybody's favorite team because we was all young.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Nobody expected us to beat Giannis in the Bucks. Then
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: we beat Joel and then Playedbron in the conference finals.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: We was rolling. I ain't gonna a lot, like we
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: were just out there like having a ball for sure.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I gotta ask, man, how was it going saying send
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Lebron to tweet the follow you back to Duncan on
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: him in the playoffs. That's a hell of a transition.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: No, it was definitely a full circle moment.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: And I remember like when we beat we beat Philly
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: and they had swept Toronto. That's when the tweets start
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: going viral. I made that tweet in eighth grade, like
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: when I first got on Twitter.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we know, we see the times, but it's just funny.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Head it's like twenty twelve or something like that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Was a fan.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I would never tweet did you take a picture with Bron?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: But when I took oh, it was twelve, it was
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: already six three on top of his hand. You kid.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, actually crazy that Louis. That's funny,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that's funny.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: No, I want you to be going though, for real.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I want to.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I love bro.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: Cherry Rose your game, Bro. I was playing with him, man,
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: that little stint that y'all head bro Bro.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: So teague though, like in the right before the season,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: before training camp, that's gods start coming in like two
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: three weeks.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Before the younger guys.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I was in there like a month and we was
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: having like open, open runs. And I remember the first
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: time I called back home and I called back, I said, Yo,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Terry Rozier is like that, bro. And you know, when
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: you're younger, you think the guys that come up the
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: bench or not starting, you think they just bums or
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: average man. When I seen trow in that first pick
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: up game, I was like, no, like Terry really got.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Game come, you know.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: And for ninety five percent of the league, you got
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: to be in the right spot and have an opportunity.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: It's only a handful of guys that can go on
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: any team and be who they are. And that don't
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: mean that the other guy's not that good is just
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: those five percent of players are really that good. So
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously you don't never see somebody get hurt.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: But it was a blessing to disguise for Kyrie to
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: get hurt. T Rogue got the show. You know, you
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: can leading the team and beat the starting point guard
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: and uh, you know, do all those things. But I remember,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: like it was September or whatever I called back home.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, t Rope is cold.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: He was killing bro what I feel like? He was
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: your like leader, bro? He was.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: He was in the cut. You feel me you was
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: doing your thing. He was nigga at the front, like
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: what's had.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: When he tried to dunk on Brons when it got crazy,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, last game, Yeah he ready to go.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: You know he's done enough. I'm just trying. But the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: moment was crazy, the scary try because all boy act
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: like everybody so the neck like you know who he was,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: bro Spoky that that snatched back clipping Lewis crash at
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the game, I said that out of pocket. Yeah, y'all
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: was hard for that, you know what. I love Boston fans,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: even though when I played there it was COVID. We
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: didn't have a fan of staying. That's why I wasn't
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: hooping like that fans. I'm I'm a performer, like I

• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We're on national TV. Didn't feel like I.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Tell people that was the hardest. That's got to be
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: like the toughest NBA season.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: That was terrible, bro, That's why you fans.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: You gotta do it the nose swab every morning like

• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a trying time. But it's like everybody else in mediate
• 28:10

• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I knew he was gonna get at least a thirty
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: two point performance on the bench. You just want to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: see somebody kill see some.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Motherfuckers knew how to trigger him, though I do him going.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I text him now. I couldn't say nothing in the
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: first game this year, you went crazy. I ain't want
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: to get you a little. I was just like, up, yeah, regression,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: but he.
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: Was killing bro. He was killing this ship. Been good
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: for so far for sure.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Listen, man, we definitely want to talk about I had
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: last year to get the ring, but I want to
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: ask you, know what I'm saying, planning gets to words
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: of twenty two coming up a little bit short, But
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: how was that experience? You know what I'm saying, moted
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: you to be ready to get that chip last year.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I mean it's certain things.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: That you go through in real time that you don't understand,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: like how this is going to prepare you for the future,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: because losing in twenty two is like devastating. Like we
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: was the eleventh seed. We end up getting to the
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: two seed. We beat Katie and Kyrie, We beat Yannis,
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: the defending champs. We go to Miami and win in
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Game seven, Like that was one of the toughest runs
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: I can remember in recent years, and then to fall
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: up short, it was like, man, we just did all
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: that for nothing. It was devastating. And then the next
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: year we kind of like we like overlooked teams a
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: little bit. We just wanted to get back to the finals.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: We end up going six with Atlanta in the first round,
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Like we didn't handle business the way we should have
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: and put ourselves in a whole. We was down three
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: and you damn it gotta be perfect to win four
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: games in a row. And you know I sprained my
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: ankle to first play the game, and you know, the
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: margin for ERRORGE is that much shorter when you down three.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: So I think last year was the perfect balance of
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: like obviously we got KP, we got Drew, and I
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: think our team was just in the perfect space of
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: like everybody got paid, everybody had individual success and awards.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: The only thing we haven't done besides Drew was winning championship.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: And I give a lot of credit to our coaching
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: staff and Joe just the way we prepared, Like in
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: our mindset, we knew how to play, and we really
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: we just got better every single day. We approached how
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: we was going to play the Bucks the same way
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: we was gonna play the Wizards. Like we didn't look
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: past nobody, and we lost eighteen games last year and
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: we went sixteen and three in the playoffs. Like I
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: know we're still playing. Nobody want to give us our credit,
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: But like the ship we did last year was special
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: get credit.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know you different anybody else is just like hey,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: as a Patients fan, please tell me that we was
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: the hardest team.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Las shot in the post season.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: That big a dude go out of Celtic's Gary down
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: for old.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Luck. You can never.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I said, I'm a record for saying it,
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: Like yes, sir, it's the patience. That was the hardest
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: series that we had last year.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Just like.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: How fast they played. They were subming three people at
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: the time. Teacher mcconna was unreal at home, like was
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: doing over topping. Like the role players that they got,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: they're just also selfless. They don't move, they don't stop moving.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Everybody played without the ball, and they just like they
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: the way they play, they trying to they like bait
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: you in the play how they play and like that
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: works for them. And you know our thing is like
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: we want to get stops and defense and you look
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: up the score might be one hundred and thirty five,
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Like that's the game that they want to play. And
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: when they get you playing that way, like they can
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: beat anybody. And you know, we came back in overtime
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: the first game Game three was down nineteen. In Game four,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: ship we went down to the wire like we swept them.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: But like every game we did tying.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: It was with all good.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: Games though for the most part, like exciting games to
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: be I should say.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I give any a lot of credit. Like we was
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: dog tired after every game after that. Listen, we don't
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: get nice things offense, so they complimences me to lots
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: of me because thisigga still there be like like that.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: The way we start off this season, I don't know
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: if I could be happy this year or not. Man,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: it's thanks for the word. That's all do right now now.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: When Drew first got traded from Milwaukee, what I tell
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: you we was gonna win, I told you go get Drew.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Got we got traded from it. Yeah, I said, go
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: get Drew. Y're gonna win. He said, I'm already on it.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I know you wasn't.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: Man said I'm on it. And then I seen it happen.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: I said, damn, he was on it.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: He really got pulled over there in the time of contact.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: No tempering.
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man, I'm just saying though him joining the team, though,
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: how was it, Bro? Did you think like when you got.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: There of course I got aspirations of winning, but he
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: was like, no, this is gonna help us.
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: No, I mean absolutely.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Drew was on the team with me in twenty twenty
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: one when he was in the Olympics, fresh off he
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: just won a championship with the Bucks. Came with us
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: and we wanted to go medal together. And I just
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: I understood at that time that Drew was like a
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: Swiss army. Notight he couer, yeah, guard the one through
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: the five. He could be on ball, he could play
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: off the ball. You put him in a dunker, he
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: can set screens, he can score on any matchup. He
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: not like you know, he a team player. When the
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: big games, he gonna do what he's supposed to do.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: And not that he's gonna fall back, but he just
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: know how to how to play with you know, superstars,
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: and he liked the ultimate teammate. So when we got
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: Drew is definitely like our confidence roles are like, man,
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: we just felt that much better about what he was
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: about to do.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as a Pacers fan hating because y'are cheating, you're
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: not supposed to have Derek White Andrew, and then switching
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: to you and JB. That's not fair man. Life ain't
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: fair man.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Every white got cold when he cut the hair.
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: When he cut the hair, they had to pay for
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: that though, I mean they salary cap Man.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Tax bill is probably nuts. Imagine. I know he's selling
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: the tape for re boy, this tax bill is crazy.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: It's worth it, though, Bro. I mean, championships is for
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: sure worth it. But y'all to a great story so far,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I want to ask you know
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, having to crazy summer. You know what
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, getting the dring? You know, matter, how do
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: you come back motivated? Obviously you a professional, you come
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to hoop, but like having such accomplishments a short amount time,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: what keeps you motivated and locked in and coming to
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: this season? H I think for me, one thing is like, man,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: I'm only twenty six.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people, not some fans of
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: people in the media might view like, oh, you've been
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: in the championship, You've been in conference final, Like they might.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Think I'm older than what I am. Like, boy, you
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: look thirty kicked off early that I never understood that.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: He I'm like, why is it his fault? Because he
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: was successful? Early, like you came in to the league,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: goach like, don't aging for it? Are you get mad
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: at him for it? He was still killing. I mean
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: it's some truth to that.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Like, the expectation for me was just way higher because
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: I went to the Conngresce Finals at twenty. So for
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: me being twenty six, like I got a lot of basketball,
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: left a lot and that feeling of winning the championship
• 56:05

• 57:51
  Speaker 2: know that was big.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: No, that's like easily one of my favorite, if not
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: my favorite teammate I ever had from a professional state point,
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: like when I got drafted at nineteen, Seeing how Al
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: approached every practice day, every game day, every off day,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: it's a testament to like his career. It's year eighteen
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: and like it was year seventeen. Last year, we relied
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: heavily on Al to help us win a championship. It's
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: not a lot of people in year seventeen that's starting
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: on the team that's going to the finals.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: In that game three against Indiana, he had like eight
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: three I remember, and it's like we needed him to
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: win that game.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: So Al took me under his wing, you know, since
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: my first day, and you know somebody that's like always
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: been there for me, somebody I've learned a lot from
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: from the standpoint of like having a routine. I got
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: my routine from watching Al have a routine. That's why
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: he's been in the league for so long and been
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: so successful. So Al is one of the best people
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: you would ever meet, one of the best players Hall
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: of Fame career and help him get over that top,
• 59:02

  Speaker 3: team All NBA again, and those things and winning MVP
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: or wanting to have that as a goal, that's not
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: a negative thing.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

  Speaker 3: If you you aspired to do that, you're playing at
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: a high level, you're playing fishing, you're dominating. Your team
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: is one of the best, and even if you don't win, right,
