[Music] they're not going to accept all the chords right here i want to say it's dangerous but it's like it's definitely parts of it where it can get bad but i want to say that like the whole the whole majority of it is dangerous it's definitely great good parts in the bronx that you can like you know just chill and be fine nobody's gonna bother you for no reason you know what i mean like yeah if you just chilling walking by nobody's gonna really bother you and it's not that big so everybody know everybody's playing it's probably because i live here i've been here for so long that i don't see it as the dangerous places everybody else sees it at that time my connection game [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh okay mister you can't miss the water right there [Applause] it's intense because nobody really want to get like embarrassed they're not going to say embarrassed but nobody want to like get proven that someone is better than them so they're playing it hardest like even if like your regular pickup you're playing as hard as you can for that's really like the that's really where the toughness part come out of it too the new york swag kind of thing like i'm not gonna say i'm not gonna say you better than me i don't feel like you're better than me like it's more of a new york kind of thing force i've been so jump what this force one minute so some people gotta walk home for real yeah somebody said something i'm walking home for her i'm one of them some people man you gotta walk home yeah no you got grab a rod probably with a game or something one of

you just stay for open gym we wouldn't have that much money and stuff we just split it go to the store get snacks and stuff like spending dollars two dollars three dollars no money if you can't break me fake i had one more buck on my plate it was me and bro we was in the store and we have 50 cakes man [Music] my body as if like as i approached their bodies really uh i don't think many people really i don't know people for me i'm keen on that recently i i wasn't always doing that microsoft or doing that but recently that's been like a really a key thing for me keeping my body right keeping everything intact so so you won't get injured don't get injured and just like being able to play all these games in a short amount of times when did you start i probably learned at usa camp like we had like 10 practices in five days like keyed in on recovery make sure your body was good after every practice so making sure you got time to make sure your body's good everything's good before you leave but before that you didn't really know about it nah before and and before that i was like i was younger so i was just playing a little bit you get a ball you got a ball yeah i gotta use the tennis ball keep that bro i have a terrible book bag bro i do not want to invest in a book bag next i got my cousin too right here for a night come on i haven't listened to it all day where's the garbage bro it's garbage this kid is crazy bro well i mean my betty right see me disappearing she's pushing that pops up out of nowhere bro she's right there bro i knew it thanks are you trying to hide an attack stuff over here it's a lot of destroy well you gotta bring buddy over here bro well one time he threw her on me i'm saying he drew her on top of me bro this kid is really vicious bro nah she didn't really scratch me but she panicked like she's trying to run away if she if she got you one time was not purpose but she's trying to get away i'm yeah man you guys always clean it a lot every day yeah and what we do in the morning my mom she don't really be like whenever she sees like one thing the whole house gonna get cleaned come on these ones yeah the berries that's nasty bro try it no guarantee you're gonna fall in love i see those are fruity pebbles but it was outside though big bro for real you better go all right are you safe up nick back at edward like what you're doing nick back in the cafe nick back 65. what up cap uh one of my dogs from my school foreign [Laughter] yeah using an example again be like nah that's fake crazy like it's big crazy like it's not like you'd be like yo it's lit over there fake fake it's like it's easy to get around so you got trains you got your ubers me personally uber all right uber the train there's no issue with the train like you train perfectly fine but like in the city wherever you need to go the train can take you there the train can take you there for what 250 2.50 new york traffic is not normal bro it's happening out of nowhere bro and it just because people be nosy like it'll be a little accident on the side the trainer i got he understand like like if i put on too much weight i'm gonna slow down and we all need to slow down i just need to put on a little bit muscle to still be able to bump guys and still be able to move my same speed at the corner here is good for me so he hit him pulling like mad weights because i still got i still gotta stay mobile and he understand that that's why i jacked my boy all right he right there i'm not going up there yeah they people always asking around like yo what train do i get on you gotta help them that's how you know they're not really from here you know bro if you've got an option straight if you have an iphone you're probably going to be shaking what's a rat bro five stops always back you should be able to fall asleep for a little bit like right there fall asleep and then by the time i wake up i'll be in my stop i don't advise that though ep nick that's the lingo right there tp man this the train to be all d packed you can even take a step in and people will try to get in how you mad she choosing me i like what she do to me 6 21 stop get some eats real quick really quick yeah real quick get some food all right it's a whole different world yeah this is different out here different people too downtown it's my brother that's his brother and that's him with the basketball in his hand yup he used to bring them to the park yeah look at that nick what's that i don't know bro that's crazy why does she keep doing that bro because i be losing attention maybe my phone bro i mean my pocket here break better put a hoodie on [Music] how could you i guess you lived out here mo i could live down here get a quick bacon and get cheese for you had a big egg and cheese yet no he looked just like 2k chris quickly looked exactly like himself in 2k it's gonna go up it's gonna go up huh [Music] [Music] my main goal is the nba really like just being able to compete at the highest level like forget the financial part of it the just being able to play at the highest level on in front of like thousands of people all over all over the country that's probably that's what i want to do for her make it to the nba [Music] after i started working out with chris uh and being around being around certain pros it's like it's showing me like [Music] give me like like a more of an internal like push like you're close like like to where you want to be the nba you're close you're close to getting there so that like seeing those pros and being around them and even working out with them see how hard they go even though even after they made it see how hard they still going every workout that's probably like more of an eternal push for me like i i gotta replicate this to get to where i want to go so that's probably like what's really helping us you know [Music] like a real legit pro just like lance i mean no no i'm lying we had a few but like in the city directly probably lance kemba kimball we had kimball walker too i'm bugging we had a lot now the recent has been a minute yeah yeah that's that's a big reason why i feel like i want to stay in new york new york has really had anybody for a minute so me being being able to be who i am and be in new york so just having a city behind me for real and just being able to hoop at a high level it's just like it's a big thing for me and the reason why i really want to stay for it meditating though like it'll be a warm-up line it'll be warmer blondes he'll just be staying down on his bench record it record it um on saturday he should be staying down on the bench while the team is warming up he'll just be like this yo but you're not deaf i said no bro no you did not do cheeseburgers eating bro

slow man i mean i mean it's friday already but not necessarily but like tonight hasn't been slow nah tomorrow's friday it's been real quick people just like yeah i'm not gonna let you out play me it's not gonna happen ian has a name right so like people were like i'm facing ian tomorrow so i'm gonna try to lock it down so like that's how new york is like i was facing in that's what i'm gonna think i'm not gonna be like yo i'm scared when i'm coming in this game i'm coming this game thinking like oh they're going to lock me up i'm i'm just coming to game time to show them like why i am who i am you feel me like you ain't going to lock me up yeah everybody ain't happy for that nah do you think like you're approaching this game different me because it's in front of the whole city yeah it's definitely different definitely different other the city maybe in the city definitely changing everything like me having a city like on my back for just playing for the city that's what i was that's how i say it for me i'm i'm i'm the city so for me why would you go for somebody else that's that's that's the difference so the city's loyal for real the city lawyer for real every time every time i i never for me i would never think twice in this how the city got my back in his man humble bro like like back then like i told you back then we we ain't really have that much so we would just buy each other stuff and we wouldn't even have to pay each other back like i know if he gets me uber somewhere he's not gonna be like yo i need my bread back i know he's not gonna do that he's just man humble that's like we all just like that like i'm not gonna offend group we just like we just look out for each other if i had it and one time he didn't have it i'll look up for him if i don't have it he'll look up for me it's just brotherhood you know pretty sure everybody's like that with their brother uber yo that car is really smooth like it's a smooth car if it's under 17 i got you what the uber what's your thing i just what you looking at why do you do that bro cause if i i don't know something i just got like look at the camera bro like i can't just ignore the camera you actually care people what they're looking at yeah like what they looking at bro what the uber one minute you got it about him right what i mean about him right whatever looks like a delight oh look at the difference though nick [Music] you see what we would just have bro that says new york only got like three trees that's not true look there's plenty of trees on his block my black got no cheese though i'm not gonna lie get through the key she banging on me watch out oh you can't even see it yeah we're going to see them how many gonna be gone though summertime like i leave june 18th for the usa camp you get back to 12. yeah yeah that's rough so i might be going for a while but yeah man new york is a great place i'll never want to leave chipotle the best thing ever you've never been wrong you always get a burrito bowl yeah [Music] it's not extra nah the same price why are you guys cooking yeah nah that's like it's like my little brother but it's not my brother one to meet chris didn't he get chance to meet chris i stopped drinking like juice sorry i found the feeling better like for real yeah i'm gonna try that yeah start drinking like water will you really feel the difference with no juice yeah yeah but that's just like my body like like my body feels better like it's easy to wake up in the morning it's like a little small stuff like it's just like it definitely changed i'm watching kate cunningham right yeah he was like he's a vegan i'm like yeah i know i can't go vegan so i would just try a little water so just start drinking juice from drinking water with a small changes make a big small change you go straight go straight again okay i put the edges in my house but i'm saying i just go here right now yeah it's telling you it's really different just water like it's really different even even like small things like just waking up earlier like even like just wait yeah just wake up early like even though deja has to be up early he's waking up early like you get more energy i don't know it helped me bro i think he'd do it too i'm not sure your mom you drink you still now who you drink juice no i quit man i quit juice it changed i gotta get back yeah i had to get that icy though no more juice man straight water make them out of ice one of those oh you ain't telling me i asked people one day i don't travel how do you know it was the juice i felt heavy like you drink straight water you start feeling good water water flush everything out throughout the day yo what are you doing like like to be held though yeah but you know see but all right man all right i'm gonna go work out okay we're today it all depends on how how i play today if i play that nobody's getting dropped off it's not happening it's quiet i walked in the gym and it was like you're scared to go out or whatever so my son like what nah i'm just kidding nobody so once i started guarding for real and then you seen the video [Applause] realistically realistically i heard that he was moving like something he was not he was on wild right there in the back nah now he wants right all right so if you had to pick one gang who was like you know yo i wasn't doing him dirt bro not [Applause] [Music] be honest with you living in the bronx it's a lot of distractions a lot of good stuff bad stuff like i like that he's playing ball you know because if he wasn't playing ball you never know what he could be doing out here it's a lot of different lifestyles in the bronx a lot of different lifestyles some of them are good some are like not good i'm glad that we in the good one you know they love basketball energetic even people who are from like the hood say if you're a ball player if you're a ball player people are not really going to bother you because like you know this they see him with a corner haze back they're like we go to haze and stuff like they're not gonna bother you if they know you're up to something good right that's just the way the bronx says i mean we got we gotta we got a couple of gyms to work out in but i heard this is more space uh always new york really small yeah jimmy got back at home it's like it's not out of space so when you have group practice we come out here come on [Music] [Applause] [Applause] hey come on oh [Music] let me get the rest no bro you're talking about perfect what you talking about why is that because trains just i don't like the trains too much going on in the chains oh wait wait wait wait wait wait what's going on what's up oh [Applause] oh [Applause] back at it again um another slushie though i'm trying to show you you said no more juice that's me some cow man it's like it's like it's not even right it's not even real this is the old school game right here before we got the outdoor this is the baby's driving right here go everywhere no ac ac work but you gotta have the windows down i'm gonna open some type of breeze that day just being in new york being in this atmosphere it's like definitely not not easy to stay focused and locked in on what you got to do just like be in new york have access to a lot of things a lot of different things just it's just hard to like stay locked in i always thought the curse the curses just not not being able to stay focused like just like it's hard it's hard that's the hard thing with the blessing i'll say everybody wants to see new york basketball like the new york basketball draws a lot of attention so when you're from new york like everybody's looking at new york as like oh that's new york i want to see basketball from there just like just like yeah just being here from here everybody want to see you play that's probably really the main thing i might walk inside of school right now uh yeah okay i'm doing this me coming around with the wrong kind of feet you went for a long day especially especially if you can't take a joke you went for a long thing that's how you really get it done you feel me no i mean i thought you really could have died marlo muller wasn't jackie either because marlo was like yeah but for him i wasn't really taking it serious enough for him so marla wasn't jacking me but then myanmar molochina when he went to hoop for real we got cool and then from there we've been in the gym working [Music] every day every day any chance you it's slowed down now because i got in high school you got the season or whatever so it's kind of rough to get a gym guess find a good schedule but before the high school season went in the gym every day we put in a lot of work me and marlo a lot of work yeah middle school really i met i met this guy my guy dame i was trying she for me he told me yo you actually you see me play a little bit he had faith in me everybody else no other team really besides which kids was really jacking me everybody was like yeah you're not ready you know you don't really play ball you're just a little you you're a kid with a little bit of height but you don't really hope for real and then i put in the work i stay with whiskey's putting the work with them i met dame that's why i really take myself [Music] [Music] so [Music] oh he was like tough so like i was jacking my people like my boy ian my boy ian and people would be like nah nah nah but i already knew it but there was this one time we caught this highlight dunk like he just rolls up dumped it on somebody's head and it went viral it had like remember that duncan it had like how much like 15k something like that his name about to start going up and stuff a thing called real scout kept posting and posting got ranked number one 8th grader in new york and i'm like it's quiet i'm like he's going to be him [Music] [Music] my god [Music] [Music] man [Music] if i was me now back in that time i would have been following you right now you right now at this age are you coming back to susa are you getting fraud i would have been killing it he's not trying to play once but he know when you play once you can play you get nine hey game come on [Music] oh my [Music] god oh my god [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] oh my god [Music] [Music] oh my god [Music] no [Music] way on [Music] [Music] me [Music] you catching me while i'm down uh-huh catch me i'm down 100. listen i told you i've been won it once for the long just remember yesterday he dunked me twice he the only one that for me what do you want to try for am i trying to show you i pay my dudes i pay my dude 100 days a couple of other other friends other teammates come on marlo no socks but they don't understand when you killer gotta let your dogs breathe well you say you don't need a gym membership nah that's a waste of money man i just need to park run around the park a couple of times run from my house betty can't do it train that bad marlo the stuff you see on the train they can listen i have honestly i haven't taken the train since like 2010 all those times i would never take a train just like dudes running on the train statue for no reason it's ridiculous man all right i'm good if i gotta pay uber ninety dollars i'll pay yeah ninety ninety dollars i would pay ninety dollars to the gym it was 103. what what before i get on the train not to say like i can't handle myself but i'm a little dude so it's like go the wrong way i'd rather be prepared how much cheaper is it training way cheaper street it's not free [Music] is can i get a picture oh yeah especially when there's construction always going on you couldn't even get in the block right no it closed it up right yeah i hate that in the morning i go to school for the uber that i have to walk all the way up the block you used to be out here yeah i did these ones yeah right here right here they're not too far from the house come right here and this is where the older guys play so for me come running with the older guys when i was younger deli right here deli right over there you need a little bath but the court went right now so it was really so they're kind of active on instagram yeah especially over here like when like for me when i got a game or something big game everybody already know what's up everybody posting it like i'm coming like a family here i love it they say you go to dyckman you have like a game that you have 30. that game is going to be known for a long time like you won't have respect people will be like oh yeah i know him he played in dyckman anyway he goes people don't recognize him like street basketball in new york is very like very important you gotta have the best can't forget the bed right here you get it right i can't forget that so the deli really matters you can't just go to anybody yeah you can't just go to any deli okay just keep your head down and keep working really that's probably the best advice i've gotten for uh dean told me that one of my coaches told me that just even though you're getting a little a little buzz or whatever it's only in new york you still got a whole a lot of basketball to play still kind of a collegiate level and even beyond that if you want to go that far but like just keep working like don't worry about what everybody else is doing just stay in your own lane and just lock in [Music] [Music] oh [Music] no baseball everybody box out that's us wow one two three [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Applause] that's not supposed to happen you want number one even though even this is a team effort but you got to kill one-on-one match-up when the face-faced matchup can eyes cunningham ian jackson you got killed now you got to bounce back you got to bounce back and the team got to bounce back so how'd the game go man we had the game in our hands man like it was they we it got to like a four point lead it was only up four in the third right four point lead and then we blew it then like we gave up on ourselves they gave up on they saw definitely had a chance to win that game though [Music] locked in oh yeah over here in the bronx everybody's humble everybody's humble you can't you can't beat somebody disrespectful in the bronx because that will yeah i realized that he was serious about it was when he when they'll be when it was done they were the kid would just text me or be on the phone with me and stay up like we would literally stay up until six a.m and go to the courts and i'll just rebound for him and he would just work out i swear to god it would be six in the six a.m during covert he wasn't even supposed to be outside my parents would be like why are you going outside for just for him just to rebound and he would just put up shots a lot of shots he used to go almost every day we used to go almost every day and i said it was too cold and like he'll get mad at himself from missing ob now you're like bro [Applause] game time nick [Music] is okay [Applause] [Music] hey [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh it's crazy [Applause] just looked at me when i said that [Applause] okay hey [Applause] [Applause] ah [Music] all right [Music] you
