your shoes come on hi are you gonna inherit them i might have to very sad days how did he tell you he um so before it came out he had to send me like a little text a big text actually it was super cool we're still that's my dog but it just sucks he said uh we were talking we were like we'll see i'll see we'll see each other on draft night i can't blame him or whatever whatever is best for him so do you see yourself going to like uh img or something like that i don't i don't know i like i like i love being loyal jobs he's helped me like he's helped my game in like in so many ways i can't even describe it he showed me he put me on um keeping me on to this book called the inner game of tennis that i read i'll show you guys at the house but i read every before every game you notice every game i'm reading and i'm reading that book that he showed me who's battled coach is a head coach yeah head coach when krylan left it was like i wondered if like are they going to drop us from all these games so these big games oh they were like scheduled with him being on yeah it's like they're all i mean they're some of them scheduled with dior on it but like we don't know dr was leaving but i thought they were going to cancel some of them but like we're still doing hoop hall we're playing duncanville yeah i mean a little beat but all right okay how old do you compete this is bad though we went up seven minutes sometimes takes two hours sometimes two and a half but sometimes an hour and a half it really just depends on traffic it's la traffic so we got 61 miles left how often do you go monday wednesday friday three days a week i feel like sometimes people think that i just do tick tock or something that i just that i don't even work hard or i don't i'm not focused on basketball i'm just focusing on tick tock or whatever but that's really not the case there's so many hours in the day that i need to that i can do to do the tick tock or do my basketball so i definitely i find a way to separate it and i know when to focus for sure but that's what people i think confuse me the most foreign there's not many smoothies like this okay yeah but i like mango or do you want to maybe i want something different i mean i do i do a little sweet tooth but i think i do i do it pretty healthy though i get my greens mostly every night my mom forces it but uh you know it's for the better decided to eat like 20 reeses at a time that's only when like that was when i was on vacation and like our cereal is literally the honey bunches of oats with 30 almonds it's not even i can't get any good cereal in the house our fridge is just kale and i don't even know what's in our fridge celery uh almond milk you can't even get regular milk well it says too much time has been passed you have to do 10 15 now it takes me everywhere that's why i don't need a license it takes me everywhere takes my sneaky links takes me stop i think this one i didn't miss a phone call right there oh it's kansas like all resistance bands just hit mobility hamstring like it's just it's the best of the best out here you never know what we're about to do in a day there's always something new where i live it's like completely the outskirts of la like la is huge there's la then there's orange county there's anaheim there's there's la like calabasas and woodland hills which is where paul is so like corona is here paul is here and shea is here but this is this is like a hour hour 15 this is like two hours so we're like two hours away from a lot of things so it's yeah my mom is like a savior right like that's like i keep coming back to it but i keep wanting to i want to i can't wait to repay my parents because my dad's always flying and working making money for the family and my mom works also but she's also driving me to all these places i need to go she doesn't care she doesn't complain makes my food does she literally does everything for me and i can't wait to repay her in any way possible yeah reach with it at the bottom you pretty much just touch it to the floor touch reach turn i started tic toc during the quarantine in like 2020 like march and i just i mean i like to dance i'm always dancing so i kind of was just doing it for fun and then i kind of developed like a little fall in like 60 000 and like i'd bet like 95 of them didn't know that i was i was good at i played basketball whatever and then finally like it kind of like i kept doing it i got to like 100k 150 and then i think at peach that's when it really kind of everyone's like oh okay he does this and he plays basketball i kind of put it together but i do the tick tock before the game post it after the game because if we lost i'm not posting it i'd only post it if you won but it only happened once at peach but i'd film it before post it and then i started the ski dance right before peach so that was kind of why i kept doing it at 8 o'clock in the morning 8 o'clock in the morning with that was right before peach too so i just kept doing those two things in eighth grade that home school i went to the basketball home school i worked out with shea every day i would go downstairs do homework then shea would call me up and we'd do a personal workout me and him and that's really where i developed the shot he basically he got my reps up to where i'm able to shoot like how i can shoot right now so that we kind of did two workouts a day and then my cousin traison he's a he trains a lot of nfl players so he did my shaking agility that was three days a week so i do that i do shea every day and then drinking agility three days a week you start dunking it no see me i still don't have crazy balance but i'm able to dunk but at that point there was no bounce in my legs i had i have these huge thighs for no reason and i just was a chubby little kid basically and then after so freshman year came i would train by myself usually or with shannon our our assistant coach especially centennial i would train with him more by myself in the mornings before school i wake up at 5 30 leave by six get to school at 6 30 school starts at 7 40 and my first period is basketball so i basically got to train from 6 30 to like 8 20 i think the first period ends but every day i went i had to ask the janitor so like i had to walk around campus to find him he's on like a little thing always doing something with the pool or with the field so i had to like run around campus just find him just open the gym that was every morning for freshman year i'd just be in there shooting by myself and get my own rebounds and then monday wednesday friday we'd lift and then we'd have two hour practices after yeah foot is in this foot is pointing straight forward so don't step in and then get here and then lower you step in from your lowest position boom explode stick that landing is that visualization every reps are done yep good soft landing i don't want to hear the landing yeah sophomore year it kind of changed i met my guy paul pgf performance in like early june and that's why i started training with him every day uh so brian devon asked his dad he he got in contact with him because devon trained with him so he basically got the connection for me to train with him and then that's when kylie got to come train with us so it's me kylan and uh devon asked his little brother jordan and we all it was all three of us for like i mean it was like three or six months because the kovic it's at his house so does he does he usually only take um yeah yeah like like elite he usually takes on only nba players we were like his first high school group oh it was every day monday was at nine and then wednesday third wednesday friday was at ten and we it's a two hour drive for me so i'd have to wake up at like six or seven get ready leave by eight or on mondays leave by seven but it's it's definitely worth it i mean he's he's got my bounce up he's got everything everything he does is for a reason so he he's definitely the most elite trainer for singing agility in the world yeah whatever you've got explode on the way up as soon as you're down you're you have 15 reps there a chance to catch up with the star of the game today jared mccann for corona centennial jared you're a freshman playing in the chart classic can you talk to me a little bit about where your boys comes from well growing up i play with my older brothers and i played up usually always the time and i just i got it from that i always stay calm in those situations you guys play hard can you tell the people a little bit about corona centennial basketball i centennial we just probably take pride in our industries and we work hard we take pride in our defense and everything like that he loves the way we play like that that's why we're there you got a tough victory today um you're playing in the platinum division of the tarkane classic what will it take to continue to win in advance in this tournament as long as you keep working keep playing hard win this thing thank you appreciate your time best of luck to you tuck your pelvis under so this is tipped forward this is tipped under palms here and then you're breathing air into the back of your rib cage so breathe in through your nose expand out get all the air right into this area the better we get at this the better we can start to dictate where the air actually goes in our lungs three four and then you got that you get the perfect lighting right here for a tick-tock pan thank you jordy's hopping already gonna be in there the chicken tikka masala uh would like to make it a combo or just with the rice uh can i get the combo with the bread with the garlic butter the garlic i haven't been here in a while but like whenever we come out here we don't have a like we always are rushing so you have to go to like el poyo loco or like the habit but this place is fire it has like everything i always i only go here though but indian is kind of like the mo the craziest i'll go i don't like like sushi's not really my thing i don't know i love mexican food that's my favorite mexican food's my favorite you want to hold me a lot yeah chipotle's fire i see my ribs [Music] he would literally drive home take a shower drive back yeah yeah and he was like then i would sit down and i would rewrite my statement as to where i wanted to go with this situation and ideas just started popping into my head just every day we'd get some type of workout in me and my brother would shoot by ourselves this is still 10th grade yeah this is yeah yeah this is 10 years the draft sports complex that's where i do me and my brother will go shoot i'm still training with shea so we kept going to the park then restrictions started lifting we were able to go into gyms me and my brother would just rebound for each other then i'm training with shay shea got a gym and that's like my whole 10th grade year and then i'm doing all the same thing paul shay or paul me and my brother shu so like leading up to season it's still like i'm training with shay and paul and that's like because shay and paul are kind of the farther ones that i have to drive to and then in season where it's like it kind of depends on what practice is but i'm trying to get to shea and uh right now it's been working because we're not about to start practices yet but still going to paul i'm virtual this year so i'm able to go to paul since it's two hours away i'm able to still go to him in the mornings i mean personally i made the choice because i knew like i knew i could get more reps more workouts in if i'm able to just do my schoolwork at five in the morning or six in the morning the first way will be just hard dribble and then however you want to get into my body this is close enough that you probably get the two feet then we'll do two full spins fast and then we'll do two where like this is a guy you can't shoot and so you drive here you're like go through transition into a post up and we'll play some posts out of that you good not that i didn't care about basketball but i didn't develop that work ethic but in eighth grade that's when i really developed the work ethic and i really wanted to train as much as i could so i kind of you know kept going with that still still a little chubby 8th grader and then that summer of 8th grade i kind of started to thin out got a little taller and you know no one really knew me i got my first offer from houston washington thanks to compton magic then basically freshman year is kind of when i got a little bit of hype playing with paris dawson and corona centennial we we did really well that year and we uh didn't obviously get the main goal but we definitely made some noise because we weren't even ranked top 40 in the state at one point and then when playoffs came around we were second in the state that's [Music] you guys playing the championship game against mormon you guys get that done you've been offered by kansas louisville um i think texas tech is in there with you usc san diego state are those are [Music] my main motivation my parents and my brother like my parents they work so hard to get where i'm work get to where we're at right now and i'm so lucky that i'm able to live in a house that you know we have running water we have air conditioning we have food all the time whenever i need it and like i'm not i'm not saying like i grew up in the trenches at all but i live a great life i live i mean we're just i'm blessed in this in the way i am right now but i want to be more than that i want to i want to be a millionaire a billionaire so i can repay i can pay off this house i can give them a bigger house i can take my brother on all these trips that he didn't get to go on i can i can take my brother on all these visits all these anywhere i could do i get to give him gear from the top 100 camp like that's what really like it really like i don't know like that my brother really is my biggest inspiration main goal is to win basketball i mean if you score 40 points and lose it doesn't mean anything so i think one thing i come out there so like early we guess we were going to do anyways oh nice and bad early i yeah i talked to jc said like you don't have to wake up that early yeah i know but i like going it's fun but i don't wake up that early yeah you usually go to like every one of the workouts yeah pretty much i like going and spawning so when they're early in the morning okay that's not fun i don't know what she'd be doing but just watching this smile just looking really like into like the shooting shooting aspect of it so he basically this is tough these are kind of tough the last one left 40 bucks it's kind of a lot there's people around what do you guys usually do for fun this is basically our phone we don't we really don't do much like that i mean i'll go hang out with my friends and go to like the pool or something but i don't do much that sounds bad but like i don't do much for fun that much i mean i just hang out with my girlfriend i mean where we live in corona there's not much because we're like an hour to like two hours away from everything but when you come to like irvine and like la like real la like there's definitely a lot definitely shopping if you got a bag you can you can do a lot we're used to sacramento because that's where we're from but down here in southern california bro there's so much to do okay they are i mean she don't really rock with us he's my favorite favorite yeah second favorite third yeah probably guess how much you spent don't tell him no he didn't no he didn't why did you say that yes did you mom sorry [Music] i wish i could have like the footwork because something i can't do and like it bothers me it looks like they're putting it in for tonight like putting the dance rose did that like hip motion but you yeah i mean i guess i i don't know but that's what everyone says so i'm pretty sure i'm pretty sure i was but before a game at peach i literally put it in the exact same spot because our window had great lighting at the time we play so i put my jersey on i'd be like okay i gotta film this real quick set it up and i get straight to work they were like kind of dry with it so i had to like add some add some spice so i had to do some facial impressions like i think it fit perfectly well you made up that whole dance also yeah i mean i don't know if you really call it a dance but i made up that trend i guess there was not one team that didn't say like oh you suck you only do tick tock or something like like every game someone said something about tick tock every game i picked oh they were coming for your head yeah for sure they were definitely on my head every time i teach i mean this right here look i got it here i did i gotta check this off look it's right here damn alive we gotta take it off but yeah i wrote this like a year and a half two years ago does that say unguarded mixtape yeah i mean when i did like i was looking i was like i like the like how he did like the camcorder whatever like the old thing i wanted that i wanted all of it so i was like let me put all this on there how long ago did you make this like two two years ago maybe a year and a half i think it was like right before quarantine or something would you call it a vision ward or yeah yeah i'd say that i mean so this one over here i made this one this was that day like right when quarantine started oh you just made it yeah so i got how strong did you believe that this was all gonna come true when i first did it like i mean it was it was a long shot for me for sure like these two especially like peace jam and southern section like i knew those were gonna be like super hard but like i mean this one i was like i was on comedy magic and we were trying to get to a d1bl team so that was i wrote that and i was like okay we're gonna do it so i knew that was a long shot but when i kept like when i when it got closer then we brought kylan in i was like okay and then i just kept manifesting and i kept doing my meditation i kept dreaming about it i kept praying about it and everything it kind of just it came all together that one day when i mean especially this one this one meant probably the most to me southern section to beat harry kane they've been on top for the past like five six years so to beat them as a public school especially was it meant so much to me especially meant so much to me because i know coach giles it it mean like the world to him so like to do it for him was the best feeling in the world i have this picture it's like my favorite picture it's on my instagram but it's me and him hugging like right after the game and it was like like it almost made me cry like what did he say to you he was like i mean he was like we did it because we had talked about it so much like do you guys usually usually like lose early in the playoffs or something i mean so like for us the last few so okay my freshman year we lost we lost to harvard wesley in playoffs first and modern day we usually we kind of lose early in playoffs that's been like what's happened when i was there so well we just got this one but i wrote down i got my goals for this is this for this season this is for the 2021 2022 but uh yeah i got a bunch of i mean this is the book this it's kind of beat but this is the book that i read every before every game yeah i heard someone caught you on film reading at peace jam really yeah i actually didn't i never saw the video but they said they got you ready really yeah every time i read it i thought i was like in like a private space like even before the peace jam before the championship i like we were like warming up and i was like i can't find a place because everywhere was crowded so i had to i ran like in warm-ups i'm running to another gym where no one else is and i had to read what is it called again it's called the inner game of tennis what do you read from it okay so like there's different so like there's the inner game within this so it's a mental book so it's kind of like it's not really it's not really about tennis but it's explaining it from the aspect the author is like was a tennis player so it's like explaining from the aspect of the mental game of sports so like they're just different like i i have notes like all over the book but i'll just read like a little there's like asking for form so you just read until i just read into that and then there's like let it happen it's probably my favorite is that book like a hand hand-me-down or something no i actu i bought this brand new it's not even that old um it's just been through a lot it's been through like it's gotten wet i mean but i kick i can never i can never get rid of this at all okay and then yeah so this one this is the one that started january 1st of this year and i got this is more goals i write goals on everything i got it in my phone i got it in like four journals i got it on here but this i started and like i do the same i mean you can zoom in on this like it's yoga meditate or yoga workout meditate school read and it said this is like a chai check it off who got you into all this um i kind of just started like watching youtube and like i was watching like different um this there's this guy his name's matt i think but he does different ways like how to deal with anxiety or how to deal with certain stuff like that and i just got into how to practice good habits and matt you know his last name i can look it up real quick i always like looking at these uh these like real estate videos because i was like i like i want to start writing down like what i want in these uh in these houses oh here he is matt davella but yeah i took interest in him like a few years ago i don't know what like but like these are tied like four rules that help increase your productivity like i love those types of videos like just something about like the one mindset that changed my life just different stuff like this one this is sierra canyon i wrote this the day before i said sc let's go and i said and the day after i put rest best day ever but yeah like literally all up into it i'm just work out meditate read yoga did this like seventh or eighth grade but this one has like mcdonald's american slam be on a slam cover get an offer get a d1 offer wait you're left-handed when you're right yeah i'm a dexterous like yeah i eat like everything mostly i kick with my left like everything i do is really with my left except shoot but like a little uh when we played hillcrest i had like a little scatter report on their little team but not too much like mike foster and stuff but yeah this one i don't really write much in that but yeah that's really i just write a bunch of stuff anything that comes in my mind this is the book i'm reading right now that my coach gave to me and yeah it's been riding for about like two years probably a year and a half just like consistently trying to journal stuff or make goals like this right here is like if i can when i'm able to check all this stuff off that's going to be that's my biggest goal for sure is check everything off this list this wasn't a good idea no we had we had to come support cameron [Applause] [Music] that's not what you do now he does interception i like i like fashion very fashionable are you playing with why not next year yeah i'm playing with you i just said thank you i'm graduating i like that i like that about you who you gonna go that'd be really good you already have me you should go down oh yeah i would be gone who's gonna be there your partner's looking for you i don't know bro what are we on right now that was me why did you get that part why did you get that part shut up i was watching i was watching where are you what side was i one huh you were like on the right side right side i saw come on now i know priorities come first i guess he he knows how to focus when his time he's very good at that we're getting props for that lifetime to socialize he's a great socializer when it's time to focus he's writing is it is it hard to like uh stay away from the parties and stuff i don't party it's like like a birthday party i'll go to that party oh my god you guys on the team like come together to make that sacrifice like no hanging out like that dude literally none of us go to parties none of us party none of us hang out with like i don't know what it is tell them he's football games you know if i have to really dress up i'll wear the nice ones and how much are they can't i'll do the skittles thank you oh i'll do the red vines dollars you get a picture with it oh yeah for sure come here what's up what's your name [Applause] can you find me oh there she is i mean i had a pretty good season with me and kyle and both did and i didn't have like as much buzz as much buzz as i wanted to but after the sierra cane game i like i have it in my notes i made a promise to myself that i'm gonna blow up at peace jam like that was my goal like i want to be top 20 in the country i wanted five plus offers i i wanted to be the best player on the court at all times so when we got to peace jam that was my only goals like i wanted i wanted obviously to win peace chant like that was the main thing because once we make it to the end that would be the most hype you could get so as we kept playing i kept making tick tocks before the games i guess that kind of helped my buzz i guess helped my like the clout and then we just kept playing we started to get more people at our games especially as like the actual peace jam the last the last week happened and then after that after peach i ended up getting pcm mvp and that's when kind of everything came together like over time whatever started posting me went to the top 100 camp but yeah the pcm really i think blew me up and that's when that's basically why i believe so much in the meditation the the manifestation all that stuff because i believe it works and it's worked for me in so many occasions so my mistake to it [Music] so when i was in middle school in elementary school like i'm gonna be hon i didn't have like a crazy love for basketball like i was training like when my brother would train but like my brother was in high school when i was in middle school and he'd come ask me to work out and i would say no like i was i was over here playing fortnite in my sixth grade in like seventh grade and i mean that's why that's the reason why i always want to i always want to repay my brother back for everything he's done for me because when he was in high school and he wanted me to rebound for him i didn't do it and now that he does it for me every time i ask it's always yes so for me i didn't have a love for the game until like 8th grade and that's when i really decided to i'm like okay i need to really work hard and get set schedules i need to do all this stuff other than basketball to be great at basketball eighth grade that i i was like okay if i'm really gonna do this like i have to put the work in and it's not just gonna be like easy all these days where i i don't have to go to the gym but we played rebate and i didn't have the best game and i didn't shoot i didn't shoot the ball well just still i was working hard up into that point so that's why it was so disappointing for me to not play my best so it was a two-hour drive back to corona so we drove back and i was like i had to go get shots up so i called my brother and my dad came they all rebounded for me and giles was able to open the gym at like 11 o'clock at night and i stayed there for like two hours and after that i just like i cried i was just on the floor or i was sitting on the um sitting on the bench and i was just crying because like it felt like i had worked up all this time and it didn't pay off because that was a big game for me but my brother like he was there for me and he helped me through [Music] [Music] he basically helped me through all that to get to the point where i'm at now and i i'm so thankful for him because without him i wouldn't be where i'm at today i definitely have it easier than most but i mean i'm trying to do bigger than this i want to be bigger than all this i have right now you could say i have it easy but it definitely comes with a work ethic you have to um you have to actually want it and that's really what it comes down to you can you can say i have it easy but you also have to put the work in to get where i'm at right now you can't it doesn't just get given to you to be top 50 in the country or top 20 in the country so you have to work for it to be you like be yourself like that's always what i've tried to be and just work hard like i i live by just working hard and doing what you love as long as you work at it i think you can succeed in anything you do because i'm just trying to be as positive as possible i think that's why i grew a following on tick-tock because i have um i feel like i'm just happy so yeah that's what i try to live by just to like whatever you do you got to work at it that's really the main thing as long as you're working and you're passionate about it and you keep working like it sounds corny sometimes and it gets old but when you keep working at something you're gonna get good at it at some point so just to anything i'm doing whether it's not basketball or whether it's basketball just to maintain a work ethic for it [Music] you
