Rob Dillingham: New Wave FULL DOCUMENTARY

hey yo where Nick at that during the cut [Music] [Music] [Applause] in my mentality and playing basketball I just want to win and if that involves me having to score then I guess I'll do it that is what I'm all about but if it's about whatever like if it involves me having to pass and give my teammates involved to win then that's what I'm gonna be worried about [Applause] [Music] it [Music] trust me I got it [Music] [Music] no no no hey Rob [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Applause] [Applause] but it's just like you got to realize like I said that you have to sacrifice things so being here is a sacrifice so you've got to do it every day it's not like it's you rather you wouldn't rather be in regular school so like being here is actually like like good for you so it shouldn't you shouldn't look at like I don't look at every day it's like like I don't feel like doing it I just do it just because I have to like it's gonna pay off sometime in the future I've been wait hold up I'm like I'm looking at you I thought all right uh this summer was crazy I worked hard I got I went out there I made a name for myself I went into games with like a crazy mentality to win score and just do anything to win and raise my stock and then improve me as a play also I would mostly like coming into my freshman year I would do like dribbling with like plastic bags on the ball those are the only drills and then every single drill with the plastic on it would help and I do it every day [Music] uh it was morning workouts pool workouts after morning afternoon workouts and night workouts workouts all day but yeah that's why that's why I did what I did this summer due to the workouts I used to work I woke up this summer like 6 A.M 6 a.m workout then I have a workout a poor workout at like nine ten then I have another workout like 12 and then on in the day will work out like five six [Music] [Music] [Music] one [Music] step how's it now that you're kind of one of the most known players in the country I mean it's really the same because like since the first episode we've been doing I always said like either way like it's the same as long as you got put as long as you put the work in like What mattered like everybody gets involved with like the media and care so much about like ugly stuff like like I know what I care about like I want to take care of my family and make it to the NBA I'm staying in bed have a good my career for myself so the media doesn't really get to me and other stuff doesn't really work like you're active on a book yeah I'm active on it because like promoting yourself is good like that's how you promote like that's how you make money like that's how you do everything like that's how you put like get to the next level and stuff so like promoting yourself is good so why not have like if you have followers that want to see what you do right but I mean it's not like I don't care about it because like people like look up to me so I want to look back and look look out for kids and show them like like anyone can do this because like just just in the like a few episodes ago like I wasn't really nothing like I was the same player like but I know what I was like [Music] former minimum leverage I throw the in and out early Baseline and I don't that's don't wait till you get on top one going out [Music] back around either it's a layout or you can swim uh it's gonna be crazy I guess yeah because he's in my class we both just go at it every day he he can shoot past or we're all on like this I feel like we're like almost like close to the same player so I feel like working with him is just gonna be great chemistry and him setting me up he he's gonna set me up yeah uh yeah Kobe white he tells me like to keep a chip on my shoulder and it just keep working and I could make it to where he is someday from last year this year my road changed a lot because I was just coming off the bench trying to get minutes and then scoring then this year my role changed because this year I'm like the main scorer the ball comes to me it runs to me but then we also got a crazy team like of like teammates that's every every one of them is good so it's like yeah I don't even know I explained it but I feel like we got a great team this year yeah I feel like it was already there people told me that like my shot would be weirder I would have to change it when I got to high school but I guess I guess not yeah not specifically college coaches but like trainers and stuff tell me that like by changing my shot it would help my shot be faster quicker I get more shots up faster um right now I'm just gonna stick with like how like what I feel is comfortable but then I feel if I do need to change by the time like by the change of college by the time I get out of high school and go to college I guess I'll just have to make that sacrifice one it's way different it's like and you getting ready for what you want to have a career in well in playing basketball and it's just crazy because you don't wake up I mean you wake up is there a Lee you get more workouts but you also get schooling like regular schools so I feel like it's a win-win over Public Schools do you feel sometimes uh that you're like missing out on regular high school stuff like homecoming or going to football games and stuff like that yeah but also like playing in front of a HomeTown crowd and I mean yeah missing out on this stuff's kind of bad but like at the same time you're sacrificing this time for in the future when you can when a kid like when this right now is helping you achieve your dream in the future what would your advice be to like younger kids in middle school like coming up uh to not worry about like rankings social media and just to like work on your patent like on your game and not be like worried about other people's opinions of you [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] my brother telling me because I used to say the same thing but him just telling me every day making me work out and then like telling me that sacrifice I would have to sacrifice stuff and it just gives me this mindset now that of what I have and yeah um I mean combine can get you way better because we got a lot of workouts every day gets you stronger school is good job as a coach is it's crazy because he already made it so he can just he just teaches me every day like little things the little things he'll show me then on top of it he pushed me to play defense for my worst like my worst thing so he's just working on all my weaknesses and then even better in my strong strong [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] I felt like it was already there people told me that like my shot would be weirder I would have to change it when I got to high school but I guess I guess not yeah not specifically college coaches but like trainers and stuff tell me that like by changing my shot it really helped my shot be faster quicker I get more shots of the faster uh right now I'm just gonna stick with like how like what I feel is comfortable but then I feel if I do need to change by the time like by the change of college by the time I get out of high school and go to college I guess I'll just have to make that exactly [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I need a little break yesterday hey sorry what was that you know remember when you stayed in the stadium yo good oh thank you it's over good I think you're doing what's your name today though lifting yeah my charger yeah [Music] you work out today I'm tired workouts are hard too you know uh what do you focus on when you're in the weight room uh really just whatever Miguel tell me you do because I guess Miguel says it's gonna work I learned that like the foods I eat can like affect how like big I can get but and then also help by eating certain foods and stuff and it might even have his last year were bad I would just eat whatever and I would feel terrible but now I get meal prep uh it's helping me get stronger and it also just makes me feel way better I mean like three meals a day good meals steak rice salmon random things and yeah three days three meals a day for a week yeah not on weekends though when I stop a play right now I was like scoring then just play making and making plays to like help the team win but when I get to college I don't know if my role had changed or not but I'm going to fit the role that the team needs me to fit either way uh UNC Oregon Georgia Georgia Tech some other schools are just calling trying to get to know me uh recruiting like not heavy I guess but just it's a lot of schools recruiting uh how do you feel about like the rankings like what's your mindset on those uh I mean they're kind of important but at the same time they're not and I don't really look to those at all but I would guess being ranked number 10 it puts like a Target on my back but there was no like difference for me I just want to keep working ESPN you're not ranked and then 247 like composite you're not right how does that like make you feel uh I mean I mean it don't really make me feel no way because I know what my skill sets that like how my skill set is and I know what I can do against the people that are in that top 25 so there's no like difference for me yeah but I feel like like my like notice has changed changed a lot from middle school because I just been working every day same same workouts every day and it's just feeling repetitive so now I feel like I can just do it easy anytime decide decide decide keeping that trunk straight okay so don't load it too much if you want to load stuff is the split Squat and the chin up those aren't the ones that we're going ahead all right oh yeah I wasn't known I just my brother would tell me to keep working out keep right now and being good and I know my skill set was there so now that I can just express it by playing with for combine and plan a you I just guess I'll just I can show people way more than they can see now yeah I would just work out with my brother before school then I had to go to school then right after school I work out again and then it was that every day for a whole Middle School seven six I'm just doing we was doing repetitive shooting are they was doing dribbling moves off of screen then we did mostly contact finishes because we knew the transfer I mean like the change from middle school to high school would be like major so being a smaller freshman at the time and then normally you're gonna have to play like teams that are all I just came in thinking like this school was going to make me better even if like I wasn't able to play against those type of competition of like those teams but I felt like the playing for Coach Jeff playing around players like Fino and other people would just make me better by playing them every single day [Music] my hometown is Hickory North Carolina only like 15 minutes away from the school so it's cool I mean it's a small town nobody really knows about it and I feel like me doing what I'm doing is like big for the hometown so if you were grabbing a snack in between games and you came across pretzels it would make sense to just glance at the labels right fake food label either from food or drink or Wednesday okay what did you like when you came in like first came in oh coming in he just taught me like to like shoot really because I wasn't hated I didn't know I really know if he was going to play me like that so I would just have to come in as like a spot-up shooter but as the time went on I guess I just showed him more than what I could just just shoot so then he taught me the role of a point guard and point guard moves and things uh I mean before the game I feel nervous but when I'm in the game I just feel comfortable I like one of these big crowds because I know in the back of my mind if I do something good then I got a crowd behind me so it's really no like I don't be feeling nervous at first I was nervous then I got a game hit a shot it gave me confidence it was a lot of fans it was a crazy experience but it also showed me like how good I would have to be to compete with teams like that but it went well overall and I finished with 15 points and we won not today [Music] no class sleep time that's it nah and then we got scrimmage can we go over with it uh yeah I would have probably went the Hickory public school but I feel like coming here would like help me way more than a regular public school and it would just help me by making me stronger making me a better player overall and I feel like at Hickory it wouldn't have I wouldn't have been able to do it what I can do here and it would have been harder and I wouldn't have got as better as I am now how is AAU different from high school uh it's more like free it's not like it's more like hey use like more free you can just ISO and stuff but in high school it's like real sad it's real defense and real coaching to actual teams so it's not just ran off of scale yeah the experience at moken was crazy because it's like a point guard ran bass or a point guard base AAU program so they was like it was just helping me by being out there it was teaching me a lot of things about being a point guard and just showing me like because they've had a lot of like players that have gone High major and going all the way to the NBA and Trae young and some other people again yeah it was a workout in the morning it was like three session workouts so it'd be three different workouts in the morning then we would eat then we have another three session workout then we would scrimmage at the end of the day uh mostly Kyrie Devin Booker those are my two favorite to watch like to style my game after they were just like natural go-to moves that I like so they just patting into my game but then I also take like little moves from players in the NBA and in college and other things uh I mean playing our AU team with like when you're the man it's like it it gives you more confidence it boosts your confidence because you're like the main option then playing on a team with like players that are also good can also help you because you can learn from them and then like chemistry with them helps your game but either way you can like find a way to like to improve what you're doing so it's like no no difference yeah it was really like the main person who like got my game like the main things I do now to this point because we would do it repetitive and he would tell me I would ask him why are we doing it the same thing every day and he would tell me like it's repetitive and it's going to just click and I guess he was very he gets 12 on the first down you know the situation I don't have that and that inability um thank you prep meals what is that hey [Music] bro [Music] prep meals prep meals Hickory North Carolina going straight from high school the NBA is that something that you like consider or going overseas yeah I think it's like it could be good and like whatever situation you're in so I would consider it in my situation when you get in here because we in like just like a door right when you walking into the right and it's closed um [Music] he is I'm not shocked but I feel like it could have went either way like I could have been in a whole different situation and I feel like my family didn't but like they didn't not believe but like it's they didn't know I could be on this like point at this point either and I feel like I knew I could be here but I just didn't have a chance to show it now I am having a chance to show it I just think about like being the best player I can be and if that's being the best player on the next level then that's what I'm gonna do but whatever like the best I can be that's what I'm gonna be so how did the season go um it was a good season I feel like I've always like a player we involved as a team we just got better as one and it was a great season did it did it go to your expectations oh yeah for sure because I expected like that I would come and like be a leader of the team and like that's what I did I feel like I did this that this year Timmy [Music] I'm Denzel Dillingham Robert's older brother I mean in middle school he was nicely like as soon as you hit middle school he was already going for like 30 a game and like he was already talented when he was a kid so I knew he was going to be like special but like where he's at now I knew he had a chance to be like one of the best players in his class because like early on like any time he would play like whether it was like made Hoops or like any type of AAU tournaments like he'd always Dominate and it looked like he was like Head and Shoulders better than like his competition like it was easy for him like he's always been like real skilled and it's just like home effortless so it's not really surprising that he's one of the best players in his class are considered to be um but like honestly I expect him to be where he's at I actually think he's underrated low-key like I know he's getting the attention but I still feel like like they don't even know like he's just scratching the surface really oh foreign school and like 5 30 and we go up to um like the gym and he get up like at least 200 mates like that's the difference like like he wasn't just shooting 200 in the morning like he was making 200 and it was like all different types of shots like like on like he became a three level scorer because like you know what I'm saying he shot so many different types of shots and uh then after that he'd have like middle school practice you know it wasn't like too hard but it was just like still playing basketball and then um as soon as he got out of school like we work out again make the 200 and then it'd be like added stuff in there like ball handling and finishing through contact like things that definitely have like translated over to high school and like you see in this game today so foreign players this summer will you just be kind of like cool or will you be very excited to play them I mean I'm gonna look at every game as the same game and I'm gonna go out there and play the same every time no matter who I'm playing against so I just feel like it don't matter if I'm playing a good player or trash player still gonna play the same oh yeah [Applause] thank you oh my God it's the same energy all right [Music] get him up here short walk I don't know you're gonna be upscano hello yo Nick bro you probably can just pull up to this yesterday class fellas 30 minutes bro bro what time is it not pretty far there's nothing to answer right now the dark Bernard it's you it's good to see you back so you guys are both in the same class will you be playing each other this summer yeah I'm gonna lock that up okay what time is it right now sign after this we have another workout yeah uh usually like once a week I come to do card therapy and then get normative [Music] uh my name is DeSean Davis I'm uh robs Dillingham basketball trainer my training experience I've been on the coaches level college coaches level I was at the University of South Carolina and I spent some time with the Hornets so right now I just coach and I train a lot of times at the high school level it get guys that's going to be able to rough them up and it's going to get into his get into his grill so you got to be able to play through contact finish through contact as well as you know just handle and be poised and play with Pace as well oh is uh I mean if my first two years has been but I quit very quick to feel crazy that now I'm in my junior I'm about to enter my junior year but it's also like because I'm ready to get to the NBA so I know like it's just one step closer to my dream [Music] s oh [Music] foreign [Music] let's go [Music] hey bro please [Music] I want to say like for the most part like I know he's probably went to other people like here and there but like consistently just because of like transportation and stuff I want to say four or five days out the week we work out like going into freshman year I just like put more of an emphasis on the fact that I knew like the level he was going to play at especially like at kanban that they were going to have a National schedule he was going to be playing against like High Caliber players not really like getting in a weight room but like just playing stronger like he would lift weights here and there but it was just like finishing through contact like I said earlier uh finishing over taller Defenders like his float package that was like a big emphasis because you can be kind of weak as a freshman but if you can shoot the ball you can kind of space the floor and it can open up the rest of your offense [Music] [Applause] all right [Music] all right [Music] [Applause] thank you [Applause] [Applause] everybody ready all right [Music] [Applause] boys [Applause] [Music] all right [Music] [Applause] [Music] boys [Applause] [Music] thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right let's work up man [Music] oh my God [Music] [Applause] [Music] come on [Music] [Music] who's there [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] laughs [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] thank you [Applause] what's the score 46-59 [Applause] [Music] good morning everyone [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] let's go [Applause] [Music] come on please [Applause] [Music] what's up everybody [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right [Applause] thank you [Music] [Applause] bro did you see that he has six left right then kill my three but he counted the time took it off ensive Rebound in 20 seconds bro I hit a three and turn around 16 seconds left they should have put 16 back on they left the team six and let us play the rest of the game you're doing now tough game you know your stats we're gonna win tomorrow foreign what happened last game and it came really short how come you don't play with Rob for the game changer yeah whoa so yeah so will you be playing there in July okay it's CP3 for life you're right good are those apple juice over here so man I never heard of you until now foreign [Music] now [Music] hey man I think you have a lot to prove this summer for sure [Music] so they just gotta learn how to chill together so you know over really over the past couple years it's been I'm sure a whirlwind for you as you went from the Sixth Man on your high school team between the guy on a national running high school team and now having all this attention surrounding you how do you kind of just deal with that from a mental standpoint of knowing that every everywhere you go people are watching you that you still have to be you still have to be Robert I mean I don't think I had no way because I'm robbing the lamb everywhere I go and I feel like I'm interested home [Music] you can kind of give a background of the city that are you from here like you guys are from Hickory um it's like a small town in North Carolina it's a whole bunch of small towns but like we've had great athletes come out of here like guys like Al Young Chris Washburn like professional athlete um we even got new talent coming out like a guy like Caleb Farley that's about to get drafted into NFL um but like our players don't get the recognition as like bigger cities like Charlotte um and like Raleigh Durham area but like it's just like one of those cities in North Carolina that has like so many talented players it's just like lacking the exposure [Music] [Music] foreign he's like the first player since forever like the type of recognition that he's getting like on the national stage it's just like uncommon like especially in basketball like we haven't had too many guys come out of here like besides Chris Washburn he played in the league but like that was like 80s since then like we've had good players like I said but nobody but like become a possibly like a high major D1 and potentially even after that like playing on the highest level [Music] good yes sir it's more sword at work ethic they understand they see they're growing they see the work ethic they understand where they came from they see the hunger for the gang whenever they play you can tell you can tell a lot from a player when he's on the floor you can tell what type of player he is is he more finesse is he just um a guy that actually just wanted just one just want to win their will to win I think between Dame and a job I think those guys actually have a will to win um and their character their their dogs got to stick out like that in order in order to be successful at the next level and I think a lot of GMC that a lot of those guys during the year we will work out like they had a crazy schedule anyways like they work out before classes during the day and then at night we would get in the gym if we had uh Tom going into his sophomore year this year making sure like we was getting in there like in the morning and then we come back later on in the afternoon or at night so at least two times every day every day yeah like I'm telling you repetition like people see Robert get hot that's normal like I really be expecting him to have games where he misses like maybe one or two shots I feel like he's just scratching and surfacing if you're from Hickory you know what level he really plays at the rest of the nation just catching on for real [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] got him there we go nah it'd be times where he got mad you know what I'm saying because he'd be tired but like I just always tell them like like what you not wanting to do somebody else is gonna like go that extra distance like even now like he is getting National recognition but like he really ain't accomplished anything yet like even when you make it to the league like you know what I'm saying like that's just the beginning of the journey like so like it's a kid right now that's like thinking like Robert Dillingham like I can't wait to play him like I'm gonna show the world why I'm better than him and he has to have that mentality and he has that mentality you can tell like because he feels like like rankings don't matter but if they're going to rank him he he feels like he probably number one oh my God so now's the off season did you pick up your workouts more or did you hell yeah oh dude way more because I mean this is an effect like is there energy in the game or do you think it increases uh I think it like increased my standard more because like working out more increasing stamina which is like running more so I just feel like and it also made my skill even better so okay instead [Music] I mean I started like close like in the middle of the Season like with meal prep and stuff and then I did during the summer I'm just trying to get bigger what's wrong I need five minutes and give like younger people to keep them as flexible as possible drink water get your massages regularly start at a young age getting massages also stretch and take those cold baths all right when did you first start recording a rock it's great man eight three is he like that I mean he he was he was all right he was all right he would be what he is now no no I can't even lie though I can't even lie the way that his dad hyped him up bro the way that his family hyped him up and stuff just like in elementary school and stuff bro it was wild and like he met he met their standards like exceeded the expectations am I wrong so far so good another day also it's gonna be a shooting day he's been working hard this week so I was mainly making sure that uh he's getting his reps up how awesome you guys oh for Rob at least four to five times a week at least especially off season it's off season this year got to make gains what about two days um he have different stuff so he uh not necessarily two days on the court but it's two a days probably in the weight room Push Pull with your right hand and pass it to me okay all right so triple with your left hand dribble with your left hand pull with your right hand and pass it here same thing right now so it's Push Pull make it make it ill Push Pull windshield wipers pass es that's the only way you're gonna get better good job baby what's your background in basketball uh I played in high school then I played uh division two at LR I played two years there I did pretty well and then I transferred to a HBCU D2 and Augusta Georgia and um like I did well there my junior year we won the conference I got player of the year and then my senior year had a better year but the winds just didn't correlate to that so but that was it like just College um played well with D2 and then after that that was pretty much it showed me the same thing now inside okay ready good night hey touch it like I worked hard but it wasn't like until I got to high school but you know what I'm saying like sophomore year and like my workouts were just like oh just hard like really just tiring it wasn't like exactly focus on detail you know what I mean and like work on my weaknesses it wasn't like ball handling it wasn't like finishing at the rim with both hands um it was just repetition which like I preached to him now but like there's an attention to detail like I was saying like you want to be a three level scorer you want to work on every part of your game to make sure like when you step on the court during the game like you're comfortable doing anything to hold it hold it I'm not gonna lie like the chances of making it the NBA are just like so slim but like I always tell them like when he makes it to NBA not if because like he has to have like High like aspirations you know what I'm saying like if you're gonna set the bar High you might as well set it as high as possible and um like with this game I know he hears it a lot now from everybody that he's gonna make it to the league but it's like I see guys in the league doing things that he does and it's just like he can do that like I see so many players in the NBA that I feel like his game is a mixture of so I mean it wouldn't be surprising to me if like in a couple years he's there don't I didn't know if you have control right now okay let's hold your follow through let's see your control fingers as well during the workouts it seems like he gets uh mad sometimes what what do you think that is for people that don't know that goes back to what I was saying like like he holds himself to such a high standard like he's seen himself make so many shots that like when he misses one or two in a row like he started thinking like dang like I gotta get my rhythm back going because like like you see it like you watch I guarantee you you watch stuff in the shooting workout he'd take 100 shots he making 96-97 so that's just wanting to be as great as possible you know what I'm saying like wanting greatness out of yourself and and not settling for nothing less pretty good [Music] workout one go okay come on [Music] thank you play we play 4 40 on Saturday and nine o'clock on Saturday [Music] he is about to enter um the upperclassman year and he was just like he was just um not Dory not too long ago right nah it's it's crazy like it's fast like it flies by but like I promise you like I've been hot like it seemed like yesterday I was talking with my cousins or like people in my family and just talking about like where he could be in a couple years and it's like he's following that exact path but even better you know what I'm saying so like it's amazing to watch um it's just like a book and every chapter just gets better water yeah like your hydration level all right so the whole time when like there was a lot of news the media saying this and that a lot of people might have thought that you were kind of caught up in it but how were you really like how did you handle it what made what made you do it the right way I'm pretty sure I did it the right way because like I didn't respond to it because like why am I responding to something that doesn't really matter to me if it's not true like and I know what my circle is and who my Camp is like as long as I know like I don't have to explain to other people what it is so I know like I don't have to react to other people's reactions so like the whole time you were just you weren't even how did you block out the outside noise I just stayed in the gym and did what I do every day like my regular I lived my regular life every day act like it wasn't nothing because like I always in my life like that was like it's nothing like life isn't promised so like gotta live your life so you don't know what could happen like anything could happen to you or your family member so you gotta live life to the fullest so like I don't really care like what other people think because like this isn't like all of me like basketball isn't just me I got other stuff other than basketball to worry about and then like everything it's like I'm not that's what isn't just what makes me a person like [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] doubts everything from the start so like I wasn't surprised people was trying to doubt it but like they was trying to say it wasn't accredited to go to college like we came out here checked that out they said like I get more gym time I stay focused out here like we stay in better living conditions we eat healthier we work out better like everything's like nobody really knows the real circumstances and everybody's just judging from a different standpoint so like different times throughout the day it's all right so

accordingly first of all I'm Dora nice to meet you everyone I'm yes director of Innovations for apparel I just came over from Adidas I've been with them for 12 years working basketball before worked on statement collaborations Palace all of that kind of stuff and Lawrence has been working with EA for the last few years and right now we're working on the Balenciaga collab as Justin mentioned with them now but obviously beside the design it's very very important for yay is that you guys feel comfortable and confident in the stuff what's the favorite Jersey Flair super tight yeah quite narrow but deeper right and also the armhole should have to be comfortable so it's very slim very tight what about the shorts cold air oh you talking about the sun it made him skinny that's what it is bring all the toxins and stuff out your body [Music] heated up what's up [Music] you do that every day too like is it is it hard for you guys to get used to doing treatment before and after that I like it but like if you're used to it like certain schools make you do it every day combine was like mainly like a North Carolina school we had some players from everywhere but like it was mainly like North Carolina players here we got players from every state like top players in their class like in each class like so I feel like it's even more Elite here like starting out it was good it was great over there because like we had a great season everybody played together and it was a team but I feel like here we like we haven't started yet and everybody and no one knows but like [Music] yeah most of the players yeah they told them Jersey from Jersey I'm from Jersey jelly fan is from oh so we're not leaving no that's like half and half because you got JQ you got it yeah Joy Walker who's the king of the city right now can't go to City right now we came to the city right now Isaiah Briscoe you'll always be the king of the city right let's go look look I got a story for you I asked Rob what yo y'all he's the legend no yeah he knows but he was saying he was trash I hear like the hood fan was real out there yeah yeah like it's crazy it's crazy I said Briscoe is like God to Jersey what if he goes to New York not even good still like God like what's the hood of Fame like that compared like you get like everything for free everything your games be crazy packed everybody is for you and is it easy to like get caught up in there because nobody's gonna let you they're gonna help you if you think you somebody bigger than you're not they're gonna humble you real quick facts that's that's a fact that's what look so look I got a story that's why Dior is not allowed to come oh yeah Dior and JuJu they always go at it like if there's an event them two are in it them two going one-on-one regardless like the whole gonna get shut down no he's allowed but I'm just saying like it's gonna get trenches and whoever wants to play them it's gonna be crazy anybody Juju no matter who you is how do they know if you're really from the city or if you're just Faking It uh they gonna tell I know it's crazy [Music] bro that's how it be coming to New York or Jersey and they think it's sweet they think like take it easy now they take it personal that's why when I was playing in Jersey every game is a championship game I gotta enjoy them cookies they say words you won't get 40 because we like that but it's gonna be like a hard foot you're gonna be like we don't have to deal with the crowd from the courts all right it's too much if you're not built for that then where are you I feel like people badge donda because it's not my home state like it's not like close to home and then my dad wasn't helping at all so like it's like far and then it's Kanye West like it's just too much like for people but like as long as I got my head and went straight like once again like like it's going to be good either way out here it's like real serious like you see yeah you can get in the gym one time a day it depends on who you are regularly you're not really going at the door most of the gyms like trainers be working out it'd be schools so they'll be having different activities yeah all right um if you just go to New York and work out most people just go to New York that's why everybody will be thinking Jersey's from New York because we'll be up there so much park on the left side and in the morning you got to move your car and everything yeah it's too it's too much on Jersey you can literally go into a bodega and park your car for like five seconds you're gonna get a ticket for 500. Rob you know the consumer jeans I got yeah I went in there I bought some consume bottles in there probably like five minutes bro I came out chicken but [ __ ] 450 bro if you don't know where you're at you can get like three in the day if you drive and then you got to be somewhere you either gonna be late because you couldn't find parking or you're going to be late because you parked too far I'll just Uber you driving you gotta look for parking in New York oh my little find some parks and pay parking or don't drive take an Uber [Music] don't talk to nobody to nobody just leave people alone listen to that man don't pull up your valid don't hurt don't even think about going over there I read the Bible all right you think I'm playing bro they really what if you want to go to Rucker Park are you good like it depends like if you're going to watch games and just chill you're gonna be fine don't try to be like trying to fit in and try to be cool with people that you don't really know then they're going to treat you like a widow yo my thumb is that's like me coming to where he from and trying to fit in and try to be awkward and weird they're gonna be like everybody from Jersey if you got a name they want to know who you are if you come out there and they saying you like that oh you gotta show us first and once you show us you get all the respect all the love respect all that take time so the hood of Fame is equivalent to celebrity fans in real life yeah like if you if you're not who you say you are then but if you who you say you are yeah come to Jersey come up here what is this from combine to L.A foreign how do you like it out here so far straight for him just being a gym you just come here and get your meal anytime after our uh practices unlimited food that you gotta get the this finished fettuccine with shrimp smack they have that here yeah everybody ate that that's Deluxe can you talk about a little how like when you went to combine it was still really starting out but a lot of people didn't really Bash now all of a sudden that you're gonna go there you're going with Donna where it's kind of the same thing people are bashing yeah I feel like people are bashing because like it's more like it's Kanye West like who wouldn't like you want to find why is Kanye West making the school like but like School the reason people weren't bashing combines because Jeff McGinnis was a great coach he had like a great history and he definitely did a lot of great things in the league but people don't know like the circumstances here we have Darrell Wright as an assistant coach we have uh Coach Frank he played overseas he played in the league he played college he played everywhere we got our other assistant coaches and one of our assistant coaches actually just signed the job at Georgia and left us like it's great coaching here also like and like everything's like the same here like you work out as much like people don't really know because it's the beginning so like but I feel like it doesn't matter what other people think until we play football events schedule tomorrow right we want to compete we don't want to go out there and get embarrassed right right so let's start locking in and understand why we're here oh yes I'm here I'm out there you go don't let him face type be white yeah oh ah let's go straight now this hurts he doing one three five seven oh yeah anyway I'll do this happening [Applause] I know you passing Magic not punishment it's okay [Applause] that's crazy too much [Music] [Applause] man I ain't ever seen this before bro I mean it's just for you top dog I got five for you [Applause] I know what my telling level was and I knew how much work I put in every day and I knew like every time I played against a ranked player or something like I was gonna I wasn't nervous like it was like I wanted to be them so like I always knew like I wasn't it couldn't be like and you can't put that much work in and not make it like work always shows pays on [Applause] it [Music] [Applause] foreign impact it's all good let's go figure it out figure it out good good we gotta figure it out figure it out that's gonna make you talented figure it out figure it out quick quick quick [Applause] now bro [Applause] [Music] hey that's it bro right [Applause] [Applause] [Music] all right [Applause] [Music] four two one minute before [Applause] thank you [Applause] [Music] I just couldn't hit no shots [Music] no one but you look like watch anime bro it ain't no wrong you dragged it but but either way is what I'm saying nah it's really not bro if you watch it like dead serious it's not that bad I don't watch anything that squid game is low key anime in humans 15.

[Music] just the defensive intensity like we're allowing that pass be white you're a no man and he steals it's you're engaged everybody's engaged good job seven with this that's too easy [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] all right [Music] come on feathers come on thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foreign I mean like nothing really changed my mind because like ever since I was a little kid I wanted to go to college because there was no other way other than yeah like so like it's like why would make short-term money like and not be able to and like maybe take a shortcut not saying it's a shortcut but like saying like it might not be the best situation other than College like the regular way everyone done it so I feel like uh it might not be good it might be good for other people but for me I just feel like it's the best decision would be College one right up good need that every time though gotta be that flow with you you cannot stop bring all that energy Cruz go bounce out stop eight yeah for the rest of your life for the rest of your life if anybody Hedges out on you because of your craftiness Kill Them All The Way gotta make good one good footwork footwork after I hit the tween is one two three one two one three one two three my son got the cut he said swaggy feet I wasn't expected for me to leave at all so like it really wasn't because like those were that was like my guys like and they still are so like but it like it just felt like a better opportunity so like you definitely like you always got to do what's best for yourself and your family like you can't that's how you like that's how people like that's how you don't succeed like if you're not taking chances so always just focus on the mango and know like like you know what you want to do know what your goal is and not care what other people think no matter how many people look at you different like it doesn't matter because like it's your life like you gotta live your life like even if it was your fault to messing it up like you know it's your fault like it's not anyone else's fault you got to take responsibility so like if it's your decision for everything like and you got to make the man go to Mango at all times like you can't blame anyone else for for a mistake in your life and like like blaming other people for mistaking your life that it's gonna be like regret and like you're regretting stuff like if you make your own decision you can't blame anyone you can't regret anything like well you can regret it but like you know it's on you like you can't blame someone else for something that's messed up with you like it's a reason you might fell down or something like yeah you listen to all advice but like you definitely gotta listen because like other people definitely have great advice you can't just be stuck up and not listen but like you got to make your own decision based off other people's advice and your own my own like knowledge so like you gotta make and basically make your own decision we're gonna care if I get a picture real quick my name out actually my name is Andre Brown I am the associate head coach but I'm also the head of skills Development I've been doing skills development for like five plus years majority working with a lot of the NBA guys that you guys see um some top high school talent that kind of transitioned from being no names to four stars and committed to some big schools and also got like programs for kids and like small rural areas in New York in Atlanta Georgia foreign [Applause] [Applause] in order to play here you have to have a high basketball IQ because we're preparing you for the next level yes we want to win high school games but our job is to prepare you for the next level that's why this is a little bit different it's more teaching it's not so much pounding and running and doing all the crazy High basketball IQ all right so can you name some people that you trade Paul Millsap Jamal Murray Davion Mitchell Tristan Thompson Tyrese Halliburton Isaiah Thomas Tori and Prince Jared Vanderbilt just name a few Dwight Howard I didn't know anything about Rob my little bro was from New York they knew Rob they've talked about him like from when they were younger I didn't know him personally I've never even seen him play basketball when I got here the hype was about Rob coming in I'm like who is this kid but when I met him his energy was contagious like he's like one of my favorite people now in the world to be honest like he's a different type of kid people watch it tonight belly by the Mickey from New York yo Robbie from New York now God bless you from New York now you better watch belly pig how do you watch belly and paid in full you watch billion metaphor huh you watch painful for sure yeah yeah I am so easy nobody thinks I'm cooking you [Music] it was common cool like we were trying to fill each other out I just kind of expressed them him and the rest of the team that like you know I'm here for them not just in basketball but you know anytime you want to talk they want to get a gym I'm a gym rat so I told him that you know me we'll be in the gym whenever as soon as I said that that sparked our our friendship and Coach player Bond because he likes to be in the gym too and likes to work so when we had like our scrimmages and things like that you know Robbie just hit me and say you want to get extra shots so I started out with extra shots and then it turned into you know before games he wanted to get pregame shot you know I mean everybody learns differently that's number one and everybody doesn't need the same things high school he just is better than a lot of high school kids but in college when it comes to strength balance and all those type of things he has to have that so I'm trying to give him a different Dynamic of understanding basketball and how to use his master's skill set to carry that over so he continues his career quick by the way other way I mean Super calm relax quick make sure he moving make sure he moving think of really freeze really push your legs we've got to use most people don't give a lending hand they give up on them I don't want to give up on them I want to show them that there is more to life there's more to this world than just basketball you know what I mean like so for me when I see guys make the mistakes I've made or I see guys too passionate to the point where they lose themselves or they're too emotionally invested where they they don't operate as a human being I have to grab them and I have to invest import into them and that's when like my soul and my heart kicks in even more because I want to save them as much as I could because it's kind of you know not fair to them to have my ability to the stuff that I've learned and went through and not give back to them what was the point of me being here was the point of me living life if I if I didn't give back if I didn't show somebody to save them you know right when they make the mistakes that I've made it [Music] [Music] all right thanks I believe legs [Music] um they're holding you to a standard of a pro early and it kind of takes away from the essence of being a child and being innocent I mean they don't have a childhood no more these kids got a 24-hour job now as high school basketball players which is to me is taking away the essence of being a human now as a five-star recruit you don't have time to just sit back and breathe you got to go to the gym you gotta go to a tournament here you got to go fly over here you got to go do this and then you got to do an interview here and you got to post this there's so much to it man and these kids are kids and they can't be kids anymore thank you [Music] good that's perfect foreign all right but some really bro this is a game like first game and we got really short-handed I didn't hurt eight players seven eight seven players it's a statement again too first game of the season can't go out there looking bad so y'all walk in do what y'all Gotta Do take a nap see the car and beat about 30. thought off 14. everybody played for each other was gonna beat that and most importantly have fun games [Music] I want a sweet tea no tomatoes no we're not done we're not done we're on the bench clap defense criticism bro like even if it's coming from each other in the game bro like if y'all start getting y'all heads when y'all getting criticized by each other in game bro just tell me bro chill if I yell at you all around y'all bro listen like for real like I'm gonna listen to what you guys say I'm listening to everybody [Music] thank you [Music] you already know thank you I'm in my bed no you're not in my coat oh gosh the bed is the coach I would promote Kanye West anybody in the world go get this soap it's comfortable you can sleep in it you can eat in it and you can sleep in it because I thought it was like 3.8 no no no it's one percent that goes D1 no it's 3.8 that only go D1 yeah do you get how do you jump yeah legs they go in like that they do see bruh no that's how no that's how he looks like genuinely if you think about it like okay cool take away this particular situation before they even got to this school right think about when they were in AAU before they even got to the grades that they're in how often have you seen a kid be able to just you know go hang out with their friends they don't they have an au tournament well don't you think that's sacrifice I think it's necessary sacrifice to put in the work for sure but you still have the one to put the work in I can't force you to right that's like me being and saying hey yo yo Rob for example Rob let's go let's go to the gym if he doesn't want to go to the gym I'm not first of all gonna get the best out of him because he doesn't want to be there right but he has to win it for himself because at the end of the day on draft night they're not calling my name they're not calling none of his coaches names they're going to call his name so he has to want that for himself so me forcing him to do it that means it's something for me at the end I'm getting something out of it more than he is no it's just kind of like it's like pressure it's crazy foreign [Music] let's pick on some other stuff to happen today and there's some situations where people truly genuinely care about their kid and they know they want them to work and they want them to get to a certain level because they see the the potential that they have but there's also a certain level where people don't do that people are looking at like okay cool if he does this for my program my program will get this or if he does this for my whatever I'll get this and that's where the motives are kind of drawing the lines of blurred and that's those are the people that we kind of try to pull the kids away from and that's why hero down to this kind of different me Coach Frank coach Bob we try to invest in the kids as much as possible we try to pour into them as far as them being humans being kids understanding them talking to them and communicate at a high level so that way they don't repeat the same cycle they had growing up because they've never gotten a chance to be held accountable they've never gotten a chance to be you know looked at as who they are like end of the day Rob Dillingham is Rob Dillingham he's not a five star he's not whatever school he picks he's not NBA players on a basketball player he's Rob Dillingham the things that he do I mean his talent that He has that's basketball when he goes to school is where he goes to school what he's choose to do is what he chooses to do at the end of the day he's still Rob Dillingham and for me that's what I wanted to look at I want to look at the kid the person the human so that way I can maximize all that he can be outside of just being a basketball player you never want to be viewed as just that that's a talent that's not who you are foreign don't got to go up we can just switch that into the state up you really don't look we really don't have to move from there for real you can really just stay there yeah look they gonna come back down bro let's stay there yeah it was like I'm gonna be up top so I'm gonna have to pop top guys energy man they got a camera yeah that's number three that's crazy I can't speak for every school in the world but I can speak for us like we're going to be on the road for the next six months we have two games in LA that's that's that sums it up pretty much we have an NBA schedule you know and it's crazy because [Music] back when I was in high school I would never think even when I went to prep school that a team would travel for six months 40 plus nights you know on the road um but the gift is is prepared enough for the league early is preparing them for the life that they you know aspire to live early the curse is you know the actual stability of being a person you know I mean you have no no time how much are they really traveling specifically um literally from now which is November through March so we leave Thursday every week you know for weekend games we're gonna be in the road every weekend no matter what so we're gonna leave Thursday to get there a little time a little bit early so we leave Thursday we play really Friday or Saturday and then we'll leave Sunday we'll get back to LA we'll practice Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday same thing for the next weekend so that's pretty much our schedule like weekly yes sir weak side has to be there the weak side is there that will not be a problem the clock still runs don't slam right all right about to go crazy yo yo so the time has finally come to debut of donda Academy here at Target centers we're getting ready to tip off against Minnesota prep lots to talk about it on this one but right now we got a basketball game underway 18 and a half 30 second shot blocks six personal fouls

shots on three two three four people no kicking heads no sharing the ball and then now they started high five and don't know just checked in the game caught this down did five threes what would make you think that that was a good shot why not execute the play in order to become who you're going to be you have to please every thought of what you think if you don't you will never become members you're fighting it I've developed several views I know you got to do with the more you fight it the more you go this way you realize that was the start of the Run if you needed a shot sometimes it's

just now wait no me no way I'm leaving it I mean oh I don't know you got your shoes Lincoln important in the airport bro Dy area I put you on first you right old-fashioned food raspberry Coolatta I understand let me tell you let me tell you a secret bro you see me and you I'm him one of these big planes everybody yeah it's not snakes on the plane it's definitely a lot which ties back into you know them them growing up and returning fast you know I mean like to be responsible enough to get up and go to school lock in to get your education to learn to to mentally grow and then to get on the court and physically grow and still be accounted for and be held accountable mentally like it's tough It's a lot especially when I look at these kids but the the gift is these kids are smart you know they're really really smart and they they get it done they get it done they find a way to get done that's that's the the thing I'm most proud of is the fact that they they don't make excuses you know they kind of they fight through it on the court and off the court they're fighting through it because their life isn't easy I mean it's easy but this stuff isn't easy you can't take a traditional high school kid and throw them in this type of fire and have them just what's like comparison Traditional High School is you know you have a building that you're gonna go to every day no matter what you're going to see the same building you're going to go to school from probably let's say 6 30 a.m to 3 P.M in the afternoon and then you got practice or whatever it may do whatever you may have to do after that so for them they got stability in a sense because they have an actual location they go to every single day as far as like going to school for us it's early morning School you know early morning school practice walk through performance bus plane lands eat and then we're back right back to it so these guys got to be on the Fly and they got to be alert they got to grow up quickly like they're they're hitting they're hitting real life earlier than the average high school kid you guys got a little school assignments bro I said I overslept until my alarm though foreign ER Junior oh thanks for doing this good luck tonight we appreciate it I'd rather hit me or licking me up [Music] I can't wait sir Santa [Music] you see this thing one point in time where teaching became more of my purpose my passion because it was more fulfilling like hooping for me was cool like I love hooping I compete I like to you know good after everybody but it came to a point in time where giving back to the world and the kids and people that needed more than me my information that God blessed me with to give to people was way more important than me playing basketball I could touch more lives so once you once you kind of find your purpose in life I feel like you got to really attack it I found mines God willing you know when I moved to Georgia and the Millsap family gave me an opportunity to do what I do now my only goal is to get every kid or every person out of touch to the maximum potential they can reach hey Nick we back [Music] get right before the game [Music] point at the shoes when I look at it afraid [Music] to the locker room it was just like a real to him going back and forth with him just walk into the locker room with the glasses on but the song playing that's hard all right go ahead who is me good anchors kids whenever y'all watch this keep good ankles on me someone nobody changes when the hand shows up real life free throw like but I'm not jumping I'm just fast where you going where are you going [Applause] come here bro about tonight [Laughter] [Music] ogre I'm praying I love it amen amen two times three times four times Nick [Applause] [Music] what you holding him why are you holding me [Music] [Applause] it's also about the mentorship like in New York we don't a lot of people don't we don't have that that people that you know push us past the limits a lot of people in the world as humans once we get to our limits we kind of revert back to our defense mechanisms you know I mean and we kind of go backwards so I know a lot of players that I've known in New York that are exceptional players that can really play at the highest level you know I've seen them kill some pros they didn't have that person push them past that limit to get them to the next step and get them to the next phase so the discipline mentally wasn't there because all they know is survival all they know is is how to get it out of where they got it at it from and then now once it gets to the point of getting to that next phase of learning how to be a businessman or how to conduct yourself on the next level no one's cared enough to keep them and push them through that they kind of let them go you know in New York when you get a basketball they emphasize you they treat you like the red carpet but when you don't make it to a certain point and no one's helping you get to that point they just expect you to just make it and kind of just falls to the Wayside and then you know you're talented in your skilled but no one's mentally checks you in to help you get over that home [Music] all right [Applause] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you know [Music] damn these big as hell get that dude all right [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] agenda and their own they worry about and it's bigger than the team it can't be that way you can't win games like that the very first thing I said is be selfless it's the same I'm preaching the whole season being selfless mean you are going to do things for your teammates we win games off of talent We're not gonna beat the good teams it doesn't matter if they have great players good teams will beat great players all the time you have to shift your mindsets man you have to I'm tired of team meeting that's what that's what losing teams do team meeting teams and teaming and teammate and team meeting y'all gotta make a decision come here and wait a minute he has a switch he just didn't have to talk I'll get him to talk to me it's still his drip though bro hey you could have averaged 30 this year and got your offers up as a sophomore this would have been seven out here bro Los Altos seven old school me and Chuck relate to a certain type of level we were late in what's going on like we were that guy at our school now we come here and we're not that guy but like there's differences in me and Chuck you know Chuck's a great older than me you know he has more uh offers than me he's just more like I wouldn't say up there because he's not better than me but like like on the stature [Music] have y'all seen the Staple Center

Detroit has a place bro Detroit is Detroit bro you know like I didn't really grow up in a lot of bad stuff you know my parents can't be away from that but the stuff I've seen though just like growing up some of the stuff I've seen bro like Detroit's wild people die every day foreign quarantine bro in Michigan like everything was closed down there was no gyms no nothing bro when I went back home from Vegas after working out in the summer and stuff I had a lot of starting to get fat chubby all that like and I didn't really want to play basketball tomorrow morning a lot yeah opportunity came to move to Arizona and go to a school out there like I was telling my mom some days like I don't know if I want to play basketball no more I ain't never tell my dad that I just couldn't I felt like I couldn't tell him some stuff like that like man I'm done with this and like all the work we didn't put in my whole life oh yeah I just hurt I got hurt in Arizona like At first I was just worried about my hip to make sure I was getting healthy but then I started getting like sad and then like because I wasn't playing and my goal was to come here and build a name for myself I'd be sitting up in the bed sometimes to be sitting there sad about things like so like bro I just came here wasted my time I don't want people to just be like oh Chuck just came here to follow the hype because he got him he got they called him to come here and he just followed the hype when they really not like that I really came here on a different Mission like to get better so is it kind of frustrating yeah it's

minutes ago because they wanted me to go home I said no like and my dad he just said asked me why didn't I just like it's home you got it you could tell he was mad like it was upset but like they can't really say too much because I'm just doing what's best for me the same reason they get up and go to work it's the same reason I'm trying to get up and go to work it's just my job is in a different state so do you have my choice [Music] I'm one of you most people look out they window see the sun shining all that stuff like that man I look out here into this gym finish up the season here but things arise and things come you got to kind of take opportunities for what's needed within your life versus you know what you want to do because you're hard and saying do something this is it that's all I've got three bags full of stuff so you literally live in the gym yeah literally you know if you walk out there and look out the window you'll be able to see the whole the whole gym out there it's not that my circumstances are weird like I I don't have other options I wasn't presenting with other options but I just go where I'm comfortable you know what I'm saying so the school didn't make you stay here no no no no no no no no no no that didn't make me stay here you know they they had somewhere for me to go you know apartment for me to go to but for me it was more about you

bro it's crazy especially coming from where I'm from the other side of the world bro me when I'm having my rough days I'm having a tough time I go down to the gym and I can be here by myself late at night just shoot dribble just just be in my element this is my element this is my happiness so you know um most people who talk about grinding and sacrifice for me like this is grounded sacrifice I mean I'm not from L.A I don't know nobody in LA so for me I ended up here in this space my own comfort zone in this box in this box it's been worse I mean I've lived in worse situations unless you believe it or not I mean there's times when I was living in my car when I lived in Atlanta Georgia and sometimes you got to sacrificing things that you're most comfortable with just just to get things done so how do you like shower so the the facility has another portion to the gym so there's a shower over there in this washing machine and dryer so you know I would go take a shower over there at

cooking especially like almost like 30 hours today closer time but then Rob do Rob things hit a three-pointer for like almost half court after that 60 Ball but once you get in that court or something crazy like this boy moved different over there just outdoor courts see I couldn't really give them shoes but you know if I got like extra pair of shorts I don't fit them oh yeah look at this shirt I don't even care I'm just throwing whatever but dumb sometimes we only have like two three pairs of shirts they have to wash their clothes outside running water sometimes they don't even have running water so like I don't take anything for granted New York like if they don't make it to that next level there's really nothing they could do because sometimes the kids don't have the smarts so they don't have the the money but I'm basketball is not their way out and they don't make it it's just gonna be around like in the hood around shooting dice you know feel like basketball is most of those people's Outlets over there shout out Jimmy Dean not Jimmy Dean for sure that's my job anyone want this Orange going crazy to Steve though Havana [Music] it's too easy man better put a phone number

it's not even the basketball stuff it's just stuff personal stuff out the court it was just like I don't know what to do like family issues dabs especially like making the decision here bro I thought about it when I got here like I was just like like I don't know if I'm doing it right but I just let God take care because that's because they'll make it to the NBA bro don't mean it's the end of the world because you know most people didn't make it bro it's just over like that's why I don't really be taking this stuff for granted because I just gotta keep going like even like overseas bro there's opportunities bro because you never know but it's gonna be here today I just gotta live a little day by day me trying to survive bro because that's all it is to do in Chicago bro that's why people die every day because it's enemies that got enemies it's a gang on every block you just gotta understand it I pretty much just can you know go to the gym instead of being outside outside ain't where you want to be in Chicago it used to be what you wanted to be but yeah bro it's just crazy now bro dude I might eat no tomatoes I don't it was like heated competitions okay again you must win I made for Cameron ah wait till he get his bucket right foreign [Music] [Music] oh my God [Applause] [Music] if you're playing a team that's less than it doesn't matter about the chemistry you should be able to just go in there and win bro that's our 10th week bro like be talented but we still got to figure it out that's what people don't understand oh they got hooked up and so and so but a good team they can beat anybody like if you're good then you're good you know how to work at anybody we've been together three months you need to work it out I feel like I feel like though like part of it do got to do our chemistry because I feel like some of us we don't all talk to each other enough you know like College basketball program that Kanye's trying to make or hyper basketball program it's gonna be okay the thing that I was thinking about I was watching Robert Dillingham who is you know where we communicate with each other it leaves us winning games and feeling like this app we want four games in Roblox look how we sit in New York for us to like be better than what we are like ours are we saying right now y'all taking it away y'all acting like y'all not taking it my old cook is the same time yeah it's like take the words not the tone ah yeah sometimes we'll even cut it shortcut right here and explode backwards no bro this stuff just came out of the blue bro you know they only they made this school within a month who you know ever did that what he's doing bro is crazy like in Chicago I'll probably tell like a younger kid like bro like you see what's going on here like this is better bro like is better than here bro most kids don't get to see the world me I'm blessed to even be here I've seen that I never thought I'd see and it's not just basketball bro there's a lot of ways you can make it I just want to be great in either one of those things basketball or life you know life's bigger than basketball uh yeah I learned some lessons from some of my teammates who have came from like less than me like be grateful playing with somebody like Rob and him telling me stories about like things he didn't went through in his life and stuff like I just feel great for you I'm saying because most people would think somebody like him just got it made you know because he's robbed into him top 10 player in America potential lottery pick in two years you know what I'm saying and people think he got it made but actually he didn't had a hard life you know what I'm saying it's harder than probably some of us so like I just learned how to be grateful you know like a lot of that have that a lot of the time that happens because they're not drinking enough water so their muscles start to contract like that Uber vibes okay like Alexis after the season ended really everybody just went home my name yeah really everybody just kind of ventured off almost that's what I would say how you guys be doing your school it's online so we just really interested really the bad stuff how was it at first like how was it at first it was weird bro it was normal it wasn't weird he like we got that side of the closet I'm like all right but my stuff just sleep here I snore a little at

but you just gotta understand it yourself like I can't explain it and learn from Life while it's teaching you before it's too late because it's going to come a time in your life where somebody's looking at you for the answers it's gonna come and tell me your life when you gotta look at yourself for the answers my biggest message to them was to Value this time while it's here you're already in it you remain who you are and learn grow and break through every moment that feels uncomfortable because in the end somebody's gonna thank you
