no I was weak I was weak I was weak yeah but then eventually I got better and better to eventually knock you out the playoffs a couple years later I was game seven right when we was it we up like 60 at one point I beat the like 40 yeah not there no more bro who cares just saying it was you care cuz you're making that sappy ass face right now it's whatever [Music] man [Music] [Music] what's up everybody it's jayen here back with another episode of The Roommate show we have a very very special guest here today we have a two-time national champion First Team all defense 420 consecutive games played in the NBA anything else retired jersey at Nova brother proud dog dad proud dog dad muel Bridges hey Mel yes thanks yeah applaud be your biggest fan that's all I love it I'm going be I'm going cut to the hard-hitting questions right away um do you really eat CH Pole every day no I don't I knew cap thank you um I I had it today so probably maybe three four out of seven days but you know sometimes it's schedule so it's tough so do you do you have the card yeah you got you got a new card yeah me huh I had you know I had it for the last two years and then they were like at least you got a card boy don't get no more we never had one ah he used Chipotle bull too for a while yeah they just stop I just I got Chipotle gift cards for like my birthday though oh yeah so need a card but in college didn't you guys kadoba was closer to campus right na Chipotle yeah qu I mean there were Coba was a little little closer they they also catered qudoba more yeah facts Coba it's not as good the queso though the queso fire yeah didn't have queso it's proba queso Val first time they tried it that like white Blanco oh was better now oh yeah yeah the white Blanco ah wasn't it weak could for had yeah and then they were like you know what hold on we going to take an ination we going to take this out then we going to holl at y' next for bait see how like or then they pulled out the heat man um but ke man so you eat Chipotle four days a week so is that the the secret recipe to the to the Iron Man streak um I think so maybe it's a part of it you know um but really it's V Nova you know you guys been there how many games have y'all missed at school uh I did not miss one I don't think I miss one I almost missed one you almost see but how many times could you maybe miss one maybe a couple times coup times yeah yeah same with you yeah but no like no but it was like coach was like unless you unless you yeah bro unless you couldn't walk like you like you're playing and I think I mean obviously that's um that's part of like why we got like some of the toughness obviously we had it going in B he helped that you know cultivate that and and everything but no to to not really miss a game basically since high school bro it's people ask me like yo how you be doing I'm like bro I don't I don't know dude's a freak like some people are just freaks in terms of being 610 athletic lengthy like you're just like your durability is yeah I don't know how my up do you put a lot into recovery and and all of that or is it is it just you just have it yeah no I mean I recover like every day a good amount but I don't think it's like more than probably any of these guys who it's probably the same like it's just like I don't know yeah what was the record before do you know before 420 oh I mean it's the record right now is it no no I think AC the IR I don't know what the record is AC Green but that boy he he went like crazy stretch I know West Matthews had it for a while well I'm at 400 he might be like 1500 something crazy I'm like wow he dragged it he might have been I think he might have been at sometime subbing in subing out like it's not that deep for me that's I'm not playing because of my streak some some dude in Philly said you're not playing because of your streak no so last year game 82 what did you do if well if I'm not hurt that makes no sense if I could play play game 82 what did you do I played and got subed out okay you not playing for the I just want like we don't lie we don't lie on this no but no need to to end it if I'm not healthy like I won't go I won't go out there if I really can't go just to Sub sub out oh okay I get you okay just making sure I I was just making sure you were no no no no cuz I did that for years when you when you stamped out whatever C you about to be same thing in Phoenix when I was there I played the first couple minutes because I was able to but the thinking smart get ready for the playoffs cuz that game didn't matter were you able to sneak that into like a contract bonus games played or no I think so that would have been nice hate to see it yeah they would pull something in Miss opportunity on that one brother that's I had anything get your sip in this it only took you two episodes to to to break out a glass of wine yeah yeah you knew you you you knew it was com coming um I know I drink wine all the time I was say you don't play tomorrow you know oh yeah nah I'm not we don't play tomorrow so I'm in I'm in a sweet spot right now I'm got drunk we got a lot of time I got some tequila upstairs some wine vodka they stayed on the wine I the tequila I littleit everything brother they got ni little open bar upstairs that's that money talk big trip dub one triple du first one in seven years yeah one in seven years I would have I would have had two Herbert Jones miss a three against Milwaukee would have been my 10th assist in Milwaukee I don't remember it it would just happen with like a my boy her yeah Herbert man it happened about like two minutes left in the game then Willie pulled me out not not that I remember or triple devil no you've been close yeah I've been close you close you you need a couple more rebounds uh I was I was one time I was really really close a rookie year playing in Philly oh I remember that he was hooping too we playing in Philly uh came off the bench I had like 13 11 and eight with like seven minutes left what was the eight your ass down I think eight was assist and then um literally seven minutes left and I got subbed out damn you go right you go back in at all I go back in yeah and but was the score like a good was it a good game a decent game but like also we had Dennis Smith we had Luka like oh so you just wasn't playing because you was weak at the time at that moment I'm just I thought like it's we're going to do this now I'm go off I was just no I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait I'm wait I'm wait I was just I was just asking I thought like the seven minutes thought y I was weak I was weak I was weak yeah but then eventually I got better and better to eventually knock you out of the playoffs a couple years later that was game seven right when we was it we were up like 60 at one point yeah I beat the out like 40 yeah there no more bro who cares just saying it was you care cuz you're making that sappy ass face right now it's whatever man but anyway I want to ask you a nice little question can you um can you describe like how you grew up and what made you choose Nova and all that stuff yeah uh so I grew up on a in a suburbs in the mainline so basically 10 minutes from Nova North Philly no my f was from West Philly oh okay my mom moved me out to suburb second grade um so I lived out I live in suburb second grade till you know college and all that and Nova was close all my friends I grew up with Nova fans I was actually a Duke fan um just playing basketball and then 11th grade 11th grade summer you know last year ebl I got an offer from Nova that's when all the offers started to come in and I don't know I kind of went to go visit and it just made sense I didn't like I didn't take really no official visits anywhere I look I went to a couple unofficials at like Temple Penn State like just kind of local and uh shoot man like I I liked I like Nova and Ash Ash actually was at Xavier at the time and he was recruiting me and I was like nobody going Xavier bro like I love them as a recruiter though I'm like I ain't going out there though but I appreciate you and then something happened like maybe a week later he ended up leaving Xavier and got a job at Nova so it was just like oh okay I'm like oh I messed with you when you you was there but I wasn't going to go there but now you come to Nova it makes sense and I'm already like these dudes so I remember I went to campus met in coach's office Billy Lang was there at the time he was big he was a big recruiter for me yeah it's crazy I I I I freaking I commit and then he GNA leave he go to Sixers the next thought of so L went on campus went on campus and went on campus and committed like fast I was just like yeah I want to be here and it was it was such an easy decision because close to home school's great like and it's to basketball school that was another thing I like Penn State cuz a lot of my friends went to pen state state was amazing bro that visits oh my God but was just like Ergo they was sh me they sh me too much football stuff to where when I walked out I'm like remember I was walking back to my car I'm like am I football recruit I'm like I'm like I Ain playing for Franklin buddy like I'm here to play basketball I don't seem like it's you get too much love in the basketball you show me so much football I met a coach Franklin and everything took me to the football field bro that's why I feel like I really was a recruit I was like I'll say their games though crazy crazy crazy 100,000 going crazy yeah but not not not for me yeah not us they they would have been in there about couple thousand yeah yeah two two grand I been a part of 100,000 we would been out there cheering today's video is sponsored by SeatGeek with over

trying to think I was trying to think that's why I looked at you like that Josh came on episode one and said he didn't like Jaylen at first okay no I want to say that josh I want to be friends with Josh but he didn't like me in the beginning he do I have to bring have to BR do I have to bring up you the common denominator to all this yeah you were you were just mean for no reason it was crazy it was really crazy I'm I'm I'm just walking in there 17 you know excited to meet you know teammates and it's not like Josh like three years older he's a year above so I'm like oh yeah like what up big bro like yeah like up up man and do I bring up to practice yes you have permission to bring up whereever you want permission um so we have a side ey bounds play and same play that we always run so if you're on defense you know it and I got a little physical J I knew the play was coming so I I climbed up to go over the screen and he was all mad then he took it out on me end up flipping me like straight up like like on some football like legs was probably my head was low my feet was in the air type sh like flipp me I'm on the ground like not thinking I was about to happen like I'm like yo cuz you like you're you're like uh I was the thing was about to happen so I'm like not as vulnerable to like you know keep my position so I'm just getting over the screen whatever so I'm like all my body weight is just like I'm on my toes so you know his strong ass like I was just I was off my toes like I'm getting over the screen he just picked me up wof I was on ground like damn hot yeah he was not fooling with me after that one hot I felt bad yeah I think that's why I started be my friend after that moment he go he going to text me I remember I was so mad I was talking to nobody I got to pra I mean out of practice shower and say one word left all this not talking to nobody I get a random text you good yeah I'm sorry bro like you good I'm like I'm be like no I ain't good and after that then we became friends yeah we was cool after that so you just ini him a little bit yeah a little bit that's it and JB no there's not no we met we met before we met before Nova at you at Nova though yeah but I'm just saying like we knew little each other before Nova a little bit on your visit not even the visit like just a and like all those like camps and stuff I feel like I knew you a little bit really you knew me I know you clearly didn't know that's what saying you knew meel had a one cut though all right like yo Baldi basic stop bro and I know y'all got this podcast you can pull a clip a picture up you had to cut like your mom took you to the barber was like I don't want to be back in two weeks what it was exactly cut itow exactly what it was oh but JB was yeah see I'm sorry I don't remember you but that's crazy you know I remember I remember when I was on campus and he was on his official visit didn't commit yet oh my God you you would have thought the damn I mean for a good reason for good cause but you thought that yeah what you would have thought they about to change the university jayen BR you mhm everybody was going crazy I remember all my friends comeing up to me was like is he is he gonna come here is he is he gonna come like bro I don't know and then and then we had a fun night and then uh but then J got to school like he's a goofy ass dude bro so that was it was easy so we friends what year it was but I went so I went to college in Pittsburgh and you guys played in the NCA tournament in Pittsburgh was it your sophomore year you you were a red shirt yeah we lost we lost L lost State anyway I came to the hotel and I had I hadn't met you yet and I see I remember it was either him or Chris was like dragging you through the hallway by like your neck you were skinny as hell a Fred sh freshman give him a break I don't think boys though we was we was bigie that that time you know how me Josh was really close we got real close after you threw me to the ground for real yeah you know how I uh you know how I found out y'all lost that game cuz I wasn't there yet obviously I was a senior in high school were you already committed I was already committed yeah it my state championship I at the fal line literally like final game the other student session starts chaining NC State NC State I'm like damn we lost like they just got oh my I say y'all made up for I will say Obviously you had good years in Nova good they lost yeah we lost you they L they lost he was not there they lost um You Good Year obviously red shirted you know and then you was right back at it two chips do y'all think that 18 team yes knew I'm not going okay do y'all think like I say that that team might be top five best college teams oh so you're skipping over the 16 vers 18 I mean he knew that that's what's happening you knew that um little realiz old we're going to battle like we're just we're just not going to have that not be a be I'm giving y I'm telling y' one of the best college te y'all had y'all too Eric who made the league Amari who the first rounder Tay who's obviously in the league was there four years Colin in the league boof who's had great college career M you know doing very successful overseas um Mayo Mayo in the leag May was so I mean y'all had y'all had a squad so would y'all put y'all up there where like I would say I'm trying to think y'all had a I would say y'all had a hell of a tournament run y'all beat the sh out everybody except for West Virginia are we putting the question is are we putting in teams that only won national championships yeah cuz I think there's a lot of teams that like were good they don't count I would say in terms of teams that made like that went the distance top 15 top 10 being realistic obviously I'm going fight and say yo we're the best ever but like I mean you were a player of the decade last year okay last decade play the decade oh boy I would say top 15 because there's some crazy team there's some crazy teams yeah but we are not I I I like that though CU I think about that too I thought about that all the time and then like you said that question you asked him I still think about the teams that didn't win I'm Mike first thing that comes to mind is Kentucky yeah Kentucky see they had a platoon they had 10 players I don't know how they didn't win bro it didn't who they lost to Frank Frank my boy tank I ain't going to lie boy cuz they was undefeated I was hype as hell Wisconsin one I was like I hate these Kentucky that was sophomore year right that was our fresh that was my freshman year um yeah I think it was I was actually at Ruckers I was I was visiting my my my now wife I was and I was watching it on my phone and I'm over there praying on Kentucky downfall Bry I did not want them to prosper that was hilarious but it's it's cool cuz obviously like there's so many guys that's we we've had a good good run of like Nova guys that's that's made it to the league and it's cool being able to like compete against each other yeah and I was and you being right across the bridge yeah nice right across do you ever get fomo seeing all the seeing all the the Nova guys back together not really cuz I still talk to these dudes you know what helped helped that went to USA with y'all yeah that was kind of good that was nice USA oh yeah that was fun yeah ni shirt what were you saying you saying did just magically get hot in here or something yeah I I you know little toasty for those listening on on Spotify Josh just uh took tell tell the people you no I just took I got hot and took my hoodie off I'm just wearing a New York Nick shirt obviously play for them so um makes sense why you we your team yeah you know that's my team um you know you know I do I do still offline I do got to talk you know I know I was tweeted at you a couple times I do got to talk to you about a couple you run some ideas you did tell me to call you I didn't know what it was about no no it's just some some small things um yeah so but yeah no um you know success in the the NBA for the cats for you for you tell tell me about I want to know about the finals bro cuz like obviously you I mean you've been to the Western Conference y the West Conference Final right you know the first I went was deserve it beat the so um but uh we had it on a silver platter for you I know you're up 32 you up 32 I know yep and y'all just didn't want it um but yeah let me know like the finals yeah the finals the preparation of it it was it's crazy only thing I take away from it is I always think back about Nova and being in like you know coach right getting like talking about like it's our next game it's our next game like you know so locked in on just the game itself it too it didn't really feel like the finals that like we watched on TV and I don't know I kind of try to let myself you know be in a moment and try to like experience it but it didn't feel like when I watch TV and it's like it's the NBA Finals you know what I'm saying like watching like LeBron on them dudes and watching like those games didn't really feel like that is it maybe because both teams was their first time there maybe that's why because usually watch like Bron's been there for six years straight or like I didn't watch it on TV so maybe like the broadcasting made it you know more of the finals but I didn't feel too much I think it was just trying to win it and I remember going up 2 Josh feeling good JB Maddie go up 20 I'm I'm ready I'm like oh I up 20 yeah they were up 20o they were two against us too I know so we was good I was like oh we about to win the chip cuz look especially in the west especially then like the West all had tough teams east we were like East really like whatever you know and we we what we beat the Lakers and then beat Clippers or beat Denver which just joic and then Clippers series so we beat all the West teams you know I thought the West Was tougher than East we go see Milwaukee we over here like like it's light it's the East it's Milwaukee I know they got Giannis and obviously they got hoopers but I'm like the West is tougher than East we're like we good go up 20 we're they like exactly this is what we've been talking about like it's the East bro like we're about to win this ran off four great I just couldn't believe it no I couldn't I actually couldn't believe it I literally just like when we lost game six we should have won game six M couple I still see bro my mind my memory is little you know when you lose stuff like you try to let it get out your head yeah I haven't rewatched no games like none of them um but yeah lost four straight I'm K you you're not we went too straight back of my head think about I played D mhm I had first game might have had like 17 hoop first game then had like 28 29 second game think about you you seen NBA f look like I might get MVP wi that right like I'm the back of my head I'm like just in case when I'm like keep averaging like 18 back to reality but then yeah book when book really had that 40 piece I was like well they ain't going to give it to me anym but that was funny we too old as a little thing I thought but yeah bro Yannis then Chris Middleton got then Drew got it going then was there like a moment where you would that just like like really like changed like the complexity I say like for I've only been to the playoffs once and like Cleveland like we like we were going into Cleveland like like are we going to handle business that like that that's that's what we thought and obviously we we we got that in five but Miami was like we we didn't have dud the first game yep and we were losing I think we were it was like a battle the first game and I think it was like with like five minutes left I think Mitch Mitch went got a rebound we were down we were like had we were started coming back a little bit Yeah Mitch got a rebound we're down three and then will like he's like I'm not I'm not going to Hype him much on his pod but like this biged yeah like if we're in like a couple possession game if we keep it in a couple possessions towards the end of the game I got all faith that we like we going to win yeah so it's about it's like a three-point game we get a big stop get a rebound out of everybody Kyle lry l l ass smacks the ball you know out Mitch his hands just comes out out of nowhere hits the ball up loose ball G Vincent hit like some like probably should have been a one BS backboard three went up six and it was like we we didn't recover from it and after that it was like we're just like battling uphill cuz you you're at home you lose game one you're at the uphill CL for sure like was there like a moment where you're like all right like this is like we we we really like we got our work cut out yeah um I have my moment I think for us which one one that comes to mind is when like game five the steel the steel the dunk yeah is that the n one the the lob yeah I remember I was I remember I was kind of hot at that when that happened cuz I was getting back and you know I and CP is my dog and all that I remember the ball went up and threw the live and I think we was up two mhm and I think C tried to foul him like before even like get it but yanis caught and ducked an and one I just stopped I said see bro I'm like we up too it's like it's like a kind of like a it's like a KJ moment like that Chris moment at the uhen yeah it's like yo we're up to it's okay if he makes the dunk I get it but like I don't get it but I get it but I really don't get it but that was that that moment with that was that was tough it's crazy how those moments like individual moments can't completely change the morale yeah cuz it's it's a different feeling being down one besides tied up you know tied up it's like last shot you start and you start looking at each other in the court not saying anything you're just like like uh how's this for a transition So speaking of moments that change morale can we talk about draft night that's a unique situation because you grew up in Philly obviously blessed either way right remember this top 10 pick blessed either way but you wanted to go to the your mom worked for the team right mhm perfect fit all own desk all stars all star the line and then and then draft night happens but you obviously you grew to love Phoenix and became home but but what was what was running through your mind draft night I was what after after I got picked right before give us give us the whole the whole play by play well I thought I was going to go nine to to the Knicks I was like is you're 910 that's what I thought to where to the Knicks to New York Knicks I that dsj what year was that no he was eight Knox Kevin Kevin Knox so got him at 9:00 so I'm like okay I'm go to Philly at 10: and once I once I saw it went at nine: I was like okay I'm getting picked 10 and my agent was sitting at the sitting at the table he all he's all like he just got hyped quick before the you know because you know before the pick happens yeah yeah he you know that he banged the table I was like okay we go see the guys walking over and so I was like okay hype big geek got my hat on and I was I was like I mean I've been I've been looking at situation since we were in college bro just that last year and how we won how I was playing I'm like oh I'll fit right into this team you know they need three and D like I'm cool you know what I'm saying put the Hat on getting emotional I go through the media I go to the whole Philly media with my hat on Philly and I'm sitting there knowing everybody cuz they've been since high school college like I know everybody in there you I see you know they they raise a hand I look I'm pointing like my God like yeah I'm here yeah y'all knew it answer all the questions and um get done don't have my phone left my phone at the table and ah godd damn I forget why am I blanking but wanted to um cat you remember Katerina that big purr no cat she worked in the office at Nova Nova yeah she was the manager yeah like she worked up in top office she was actually escorting me to where to go and I remember I was I was geeked up just got the media and I'm about to go take pictures I know where I see her and somebody else like kind of whispering like talking to each other you know so now I'm just looking like you know what I'm saying they kind of like look at me and they kept I'm like what's going on and they're like oh nothing we're just trying to figure out kep again I'm like no no no like you like what's up like um I think it might be a potential trade with um with you and Philly I'm like where though so now I'm thinking something I'm like okay where I get traded to I know some people I talk to they're like Phoenix I was like who I'm like Phoenix I don't know the coach I don't know the gym I don't know the owner I didn't talk to no only person I know about Phoenix is book because he was he's my class in high school that's all I knew and I'm like Phoenix I'm like I know nothing about Phoenix nothing and I knew it was weak as hell I'm like I come we championship team bro I'm supposed to be built to piece the win so I'm like what so I was hot only thing that was cool oh and da got drafted number one I met da at uh the college Awards when we went at the end of the season our senior year so I saw da I was like okay my dog da like good to see you bro cool cool cool but nah media pictures you can see it bro I like a fake smile I couldn't even smile I was really mad as hell like coach like as hell coach re actually stopped and talked to me and was at the end of it was like honestly like you know you did a great job with all that you know with that happening and keeping a a good face and blah blah blah and I literally was like yeah cuz I was like I kept a professional cuz I was so pissed didn't even go out after the game after the draft went home went the bed like what the hell be happy for if I was I was mad at myself at that point but yeah I didn't go out went to Phoenix early morning and it took me like a couple like a day at when I got to Phoenix at night when I got when I got drunk and top golf where I kind of like open up to myself it was like bro like you went top 10 bro like let that go like obviously you you wanted to go to this place or this place and it didn't work out like who gives a damn like you you know you're at this spot that you never thought you'd be you know what I'm saying like I always thought League one day but top 10 is you know it's crazy to think like be grateful so I was like be grateful so took me again get get that tequila in my body to talk to me talk some sense in my mind but then after that then I'm you know Phoenix was like the greatest thing that happened to me so I want your authentic reaction not reaction I want to hear your your mom's authentic reaction when you got traded when I got traded oh funny funny um didn't have my phone right so I didn't know she knew so I asked somebody for their phone so I could call her and the funny thing is my first reaction was like oh damn I know my mom's sick first thing I thought of I got trade more cuz I knew I was sick but I was like I know she's sick I'm like hope she's good so I I dial up her number on somebody's phone I'm like your mom's me I'm like I'm like Mom it's me she goes I said you hear what happened she goes yeah she's like you good and I like laughed I was like is you good cuz that's what I called you like she you you can hear she's like yeah I mean yeah but you know I guess this all happened for a reason cuz she s with coach at the table so so coach was end up telling me that they called him like a day before the draft like randomly about me he's like he's like he had a weird feeling about like he's like I should have said something to you I'm like yeah but uh he said he had a weird feeling that because they called him like the night before the draft like just one question and just like that was it so her first reaction was C if I checked on me but she was hot but but she's pretty sick and she got out of there so you got traded there where were you to KD trade where you figured that one out I was in Atlanta I was in Atlanta I'm in a hotel it's probably 1:00 in the morning you was at a hotel or you was at Magic Hotel okay want to make

traded you know be a part of that NBA life a little bit cuz you know as a three and D guy you kind of and I don't get in trouble like I'm kind of like a guy that you might just stay at one place for a while you know what I'm saying so I kind of felt that I was like well I'm going probably be a one spot for a while and I see are you still a 3D guy yeah you got to give yourself a little more credit bro we got to we got to we got to stop that a three and D guy anymore bro yeah you're just like a I'm like I'm I'm three and D without the three so you're you're like almost allar I mean I don't think you're really a 3 and D guy basketball player roast and Philly last year yeah yeah well at the moment I was three and D okay okay at the moment so humble humble thanks man and I was just so I kind of didn't think I was ever going to you know get traded sign extension so I'm like probably gonna be here you know this and that you bought a CRI my God that crib oh my God had the dopest crib Boy Phoenix see the pain in his face oh my God real pain he had the dopest crib and Phoenix put that thing up for sale he sold it in like a day that's fire waiting for that you praying on his downfall man was it another player that bought it or no I think you know what's funny I think it was a person that wanted to buy it but I bought it so that's what you said that like that's why you made that joke up right probably like what the get out of here I'm getting that girl like once he's gone I'm there I'm getting it it's so so fast but yes the house was so you got you you got traded for the guy that you wearing his shoes you still wear KDs or you more like Just Books I'm on I'm on pgs right now I'm trying to Sho you know those those are discontinued though so you might have to I know I got to find a new shoe I was supposed to find a new shoe book Shoe I think because I I've been I wore a lot of his shoes when I was in Phoenix like his pees you know I'm a 15 14 and a half 14 and a half but like that really fits my actual but there's no 14 and half yeah so I've been playing like a half size up for since high school and once I put the 14 Hands On My Feet bro I kid you not it felt like my my foot just don't with 15s no more it's like nah bro this is what you are with the 15 on out feel they feel like boat shoes now when I we're 15s so I have 15s in books they just feel a little too bulky I'm like I need sneak some of his 14 and a halfes then I probably like him but right now I'm just I'm a free agent let some JB On's come out soon and I I no no jb1 coming out bro Magic's in the work that would be tough I'm wearing I'm wearing two shoes right now mostly one you still on the Kobe KOB of course and Casual sabras KN new KN new is solid anything no I just every name he says is wrong tell me your teammate's name he says a naku akua akua for precious akua OG anab bobe anab bobe Dante Diva Chen Mano Ryan archon and AKO those just easy oh we was we was that's tough Bron USA but no it's honestly it started with like vine when the dude was like pronouncing things incorrectly and I like that's kind of funny and then I so I kind of always did it a little bit but I didn't really do it with names yeah until I got to New York and one of our coaches um called bam out of uh out bio he kept calling him out of bottle huh so yeah so like but for some reason he wouldn't call him bam he just kept saying out of bottle so after that I was just kind of like you know what I'm going have some phone so I started calling people just like yeah Pascal seak shakam so so you brought that the USA that's where that's where I got it from you do it in games the games yeah no that that's like the like if I was miked up the other day if you get any clips from the mic up like when yeah when press was doing so I'm like I'm like yeah go to work a like I'm just like that's like the name now you got you got you got names for a lot of people that yeah so the inaka news she she was one cuz I never knew how to say her name I knew it was something like like a naku so the naku ones good could say sabros yeah you're making it harder on yourself I know but that I think Nako sounds kind of I think it sounds kind of cool it got a nice little kick to it how so good rotation shoes you you like them both of them oh yeah yeah great rotation sabrinas you like them sa I like the sabrinas yeah they feel like Kobes do you wear you wear the uh is it reverse Grinch I wear any Kobe br bro any any Kobe four fives and six are my favorites mhm I know you still know Kobe too yep I do I do five and sixes low to but I do what's the ones I like is it the what's the on books book was wearing sixes what's the I like no the ones um the mom the black and white ones Marie came out last year with the the Sixers the momas yeah I like those six is it uh oh the one that cam be wearing slam cam cam slam slam Johns the Sixers okay the Sixers the the all black the six yeah yeah I like the sixes but I just can't play defense in them you don't play defense anymore I do I do I've been back I've been back wait that's why that's why I said are you still a three and D player and they like and Josh them like oh yeah M been hoop def no I'm here for real watch tape the fact that Mel himself at 3 and d and you and I immediately were like no bro your offense is great you do way more than threes and jaylen's like wait a minute I play defense I don't think he plays defense anymore Mel's always had that offense though like check my shape I play defense back back okay y'all see the like you didn't see the Mel I saw our last year at Nova M was hooping I had some I had some I had some game I had a little bit of game right M was hooping so like when he when he started doing all his stuff the past couple Seasons I'm like all right that like m is just getting back to who we what I saw when you got traded like what the five games before you got traded you were averaging 20 super yeah but that's what you do thanks bro like tell them like this is what I do I don't play defense anymore I ho got I'll say this though look at the last three war game now got me hot now I'm mean you know cuz I felt that though I felt that though so that's why that's why I'm so aggressive tired I just wasn't just wasn't I just wasn't I wasn't feeling myself like that on defense like I usually do but these past games you back yeah that's all it took bro that is tiring yeah like trying to score and then having to guard the best player it's honestly like it's yeah I feel your pain on that like no you don't you don't guard so there was one time there was one game let you keep going like there was one game we was in OKC when I was in New Orleans and bi got thrown out he got like flagrant to cuz he he tried to go for a block he like hit a wind up and smack the hell out somebody so then he gets thr out the game for some reason I'm not sure we must have been depleted and like hurt cuz I was the next offensive option so I have like 25 or 20 26 that game and I got a guard like sh Shay and L dorton all them I look at him I said after the game I don't know how yall do this I can't do this no more yeah come please don't do that again bro I'm gas so be a two-way player bro it's you have to have your condition got to be crazy yeah and it helped that cam Thomas got moved to the lineup cuz like now play no defense he's playing well he's doing a good job it's tough we help each other I'm but it's it's F you can say that you can say that you can say that then like if we're being honest like what are we going to say when we're talking about you the opposite I just buy what all defense all defense no buckets bro I ain't getting no buckets this year so y'all can say y' can say that I'm I'm trying to help my man cam out bro like he can't just be cam can't defend himself I feel bro you get all buckets no defense that's fine so that's what I'm saying like I say charges though you prot the there but there's certain guys it's like you get them weak ass charges you sneaky bro under the screen got roll all right I see it all set the screen then yeah I would say though but Cam he's a certified bu there there's guys where you know like you're in the lineup like you your job not to play defense go get a bucket for sure you trying to learn do both which I yeah for sure it's just something he got Le I'm a great team Defender yeah you're a very good team you are you are you are I can guard you a little bit I mean put your ass in a big roll I mean speaking of you guarding one on one I can guard you you need one one I can guard you we played one one way too many times for me not to know how to guard you like contact my tap my Pivot game fake been you're welcome it's been there no cap because you've been watching my uh I will say just speaking of like y'all two guarding each other or him guarding me I be honest yeah yeah well you used to guard me was it Phoenix it will I mean obviously like it came out but like playing at home having a road game at home o obviously that's the next spot you went to okay go ahead no I just because if it's on the east coast except for Boston really it's and Philly Philly but but we smacked Philly earlier so like they showed out but only if it's like a blowout yeah but usually Philly is like is not that was an anomaly that was anomaly okay um but I mean Charlotte home game Miami Miami be L Miami like that aot New York really but like you also know like a lot in Orlando yeah but you also like Miami is like one of those things where it's like it it takes the Miami Faith all a little a it takes him a little while to trickle into the arena for sure G 7 o' you looking at crowd light yeah 7 o'cl they'll get there about 8:15 85 jump but yeah Charlotte DC that's a home game so Brooklyn Brooklyn I mean what's the worst is it Brooklyn Brooklyn was fire that's to be expected Y Brooklyn a game in Brooklyn this year was hype yeah that was that was that was loud and Y was it was funny cuz someone really played y'all cuz they did a a video of your three you hit a three with like five minutes left and he hit with like a minute and a half left when we were on a run the difference of the crowd like you made your three people like oh yeah clap he made his three and the arena erupted and I had a tough three to off the dribble quick off the screen pull up too like it wasn't just like no wide open like yeah dribble I'm all hype I mean but that but is that you know did that ever get to you that like no that wasn't fun you know if we would have won then I I just been like aha but we lost so that wasn't really fun especially it was that was the play when y'all got the block I got the block thank you yeah and then julus got the dunk that's when that's when that's when it really blew me 100 % cuz cuz just the just the reaction off the block mhm was was crazy was it two blocks yeah I I blocked I blocked Dennis and ockam and then I saved it threw it to him bounce and that's when it was crazy cuz it's like ah and I'm watching too like I'm here so I'm like and we're home mhm so first of all over my carries like I know everybody's in a like a block like that gets even if you're a freaking home fan like that's going to surprise you like oh but the second one the second one was like like give me that to the crowd energy like I was like and then the kick head to the dunk I'm like okay bro now I feel like I'm in MSG the the dunk to the scream and all y'all hype yelling all that stuff I'm just like here we go that's tough because y'all on the T this cuz like New York no matter what like no matter how good the Nets get like it's going to be like that's that's that's Nick that's Nick City like no like I was in LA no matter don't look at me like that no matter how good the Clippers are going to be like that's LA's always going to be the Lakers like no matter like like that's just how it is yes like pass down Generations yeah Generation generation and there's just more the Knicks are a little bit more storyed in New York so it's just like the vibe's got to be tough you ever look at like what what's a you know along the horizon or what across the yeah River across the waters um try in trouble I no no it's okay because if you talking you live in you live in Cross the waters would be brok looking at Brooklyn Yeah so basically yeah I am going across I am cross cuz I live in Manhattan so nice and also across the water would be Jersey City as well so I you know that's home you know me Jersey guy Jersey Summerdale yeah the hell is Summerdale not Summerdale What's um Cherry Cherry H was it Cherry hole it was cherry and then lynen wall was was one but yeah Cher Hill yeah bro Cher right next to the mall so I have a question yeah I'm a South Jersey B yeah who has a better uh three-point celebration between you too that's tough one it's a good they're both good I say I was going I'm so mad that I should have done it when we played y'all someone someone did hit a three against you and did yours did that that was hilarious K's is funny yeah is hilarious cuz when you do it first of all you have these long ass arms so uh but I forget do you remember when we were in FEA and Mel did it and got attacked got so he did it towards the bench and got attacked and then the next time he did it he did his his his little ass arm pist so M's is funny I like I like mine though mine's I mean they're they're probably top two yours is what you know I like yours yours is like a lot of times you do it even when you're on the road like you said like you got y'all fans so even when you a lot of your joints be off to dribble too and you always hold your follow through so you always hold your follow through and then like the crowd will go crazy especially it's always like in the fourth that time like you said that winning time you hit a tray and he will go from like holding that up and watch that go in and like hold it for a second cow crazy and then he'll be like turn around I be weak bro that so funny look at my boy celebrating see hey that's tough you never used to celebrate I never used to celebrate and um we couldn't that's why that's why I don't really I I I don't really celebrate any of my stuff now cuz I'm like BR I didn't celebrate anything for four years little Josh hit a three like this or any go like this I don't have celebrate I got to do cuz that every time we we made a tough bucket or dunk or something at Bill NOA we like get back coach white wanted to like get back look at each other clap our hands and say attitude I'm like dog I want to like stun on somebody like your your craziest celebration of all time in the league was when you hit the three the fortnite bandage when fortnite was popping do you remember when we played Temple uh it was Josh's junior year so I guess our technically our freshman year yeah Josh had an n one and looked right into the camera oh yeah and like flexed it like this so the next day F day in film oh my God we walk into the thing walk to the the film room it was the first thing that was on the screen just like Josh like
