good just heard y'all in Oklahoma right now off day uh so you enjoying the beautiful downtown of Oklahoma City N I worked out this morning I just been chilling all day I a walked out the hotel I a stepped fo outside ah I got you I got you it's a ton of beautiful lakes and ponds and out there you a you ain't trying to I'll just I'll take your word for it and keep it moving bro okay I'mma watch I'mma watch my language this episode cuz pops he ripped one on me uh about cursing too much so I'mma I'mma watch what I say on this episode your dad okay oh his dad good I like I I like your dad already this is great when he tell you that he told me the summer league summer league and then I was mindful of it and then he came to me again I think when we were out there and he was like man you're doing better you're doing better not not so so many cuss words this time so I'm on the right path but just to jump right into it bro because we don't want to take too much of your time we want to talk about the season overall um you started off the year tremendous hit the ground running uh hell of a first half you had some highs in you know some crazy games you had uh the Allstar Weekend which I think one of the best allar that represented their cities during Allstar Weekend which you did when you hosted I mean I thought you were phenomenal you won ton of awards you you showed the Showmanship I mean you you you just was awesome and you had a blast doing it which I love the most U but then you had some lows you talk about the injuries you talk about uh playing through uh you know managing that you know when when you know they're they're limiting the minutes and stuff like that and have to find Rhythm through that give us a mentality going through that and navigating your way through all of that yeah obviously there's uh like you said there's been a lot of highs a lot of lows The Season's been a lot of fun uh to learn more about I think myself and in our group as well um but I think where I'm at right now is just trying to get back to you know just being myself having fun playing um you know my goal is to be in the playoffs this year so the biggest thing is like usually at this point in time in the season I'm like one more month and we out of here you know I got go to bahav or something uh that's not the way I'm thinking right now this the first time that I've ever thought about like mentally preparing myself to play more basketball right to see my homies on vacation and I'm still playing basketball like that's that's the goal for the year you know so I'm really excited about that I think just trying to get my mind right and uh us as a group like how can we you know still maintain who we are and finish the season the right way because the way that the league is going right now and the East and the West like you lose two games in a row you go from being like the four seed to like the eight seed like in two games like that's how that's how crazy it's getting so for us it's just trying to take it one game at a time and me myself same thing just obviously there's you know been a lot for me going on this year and you know injury and stuff like that but just getting through that and and and getting ready to you know hopefully help lead a team to to the playoffs and and make some noise talk to us a little bit about uh because I know you lost one of your closest friends who's been with you throughout your whole career and Buddy hill now he's moved on he's in Philly talk to us a little bit about like how that is the adjustment now because at one point you know that is your comfort zone someone that you been around the longest and now he's gone and now it's like all right there's a void there that's missing obviously but you know I still have to be myself I still have to run the show talk to us a little bit about it about that the loss of of Buddy Hill for you yeah it's been weird it's been weird for sure I mean obviously I knew at some point we would we wouldn't be able to play together for for my whole career um but obviously with the trade and and stuff it's it's been different and I think on the court is obvious right without like he's so prominent in our offense and what we do with a lot of ghost screens and the way that we move and like his presence shooting on the on the floor like that opens up a ton for me because you know you're not going to be as much in the Gap if you're guarding buddy because you know who he is as a shooter you know so it's been a little different on the court obviously but I think off the court has been kind of the the the the biggest adjustment for me uh he just has always carried this energy around him and this I think like who he is is a person every day like not having that energy has just been a little different uh like just even in practice like coming into practice you know how it is and like in February or March you just lost to you know a team you had no business losing to now you got to practice to get now you got two days before a game like I'm like man I'm not trying to be in here right now but like then buddy come up to me he's screaming in the in the gym and now he's now he's like oh the bench GNA bust the starter's ass today like all right bet I gotta lace him up like I'm not lose buddy today like that's uh that being gone is a little different but I think that that that kind of comes you know with the territory and now it's just for me about finding ways to to manufacture energy sometimes you know I think we all have to do that as as human beings and as As Leaders right you got to find a way to bring some energy even on the days where you know you don't have it and and that's kind of a big part of it but that's it's a little different now because the days that I didn't have it or didn't was having a bad day didn't bring it or something I could always count on buddy to bring it and get on me to be better you know and with that gone uh just having to learn to adjust to that it's been interesting but I'm figuring it out and uh he's doing good in Philly I'm doing good here uh we knew we weren't gonna play together forever hopefully we can uh we're done playing them for the year unfortunately so hopefully we can like play them in the offs or something because I know I want to play against buddy more than anything yeah that'd be fun that' be fun I want to follow up just because you you brought up allar and we were down there but tyes it felt like you hit like six or seven threes in like 30 seconds to start the game and then it I don't know if they were icing you were they hating a little bit not giving you the ball a little bit more cuz I thought you were going to go for like 40 or 50 great story in Indiana were they hating a little bit or were you just kind of like all right I got mine in I don't know what happened I don't know what happened uh I was I was going to the game like man I'm really not trying to be out here like that like it's at the crib so you know and like I'm I was trying to make some shots and get out of here try to Elbow pass or something and keep it moving but then like I couldn't Miss like I don't know it was just one of them days so I was like all right maybe I will try to go for MVP and then Dave started making shots and it was like ah like he he whoever just makes the most shots is probably is gonna get it uh but I I don't know I don't know what happened maybe they were ice me maybe they weren't but uh hopefully I got a lot more All-Star games to to to try to win one but yeah no I I ain't made a shot since the All-Star game so try trying to figure that out at this point funny enough that game we were like we felt good about it right West felt good in our locker room we like before we go out there like all right fellas let's go win this one like let's go get it and then we saw y'all you went on a three-point flurry Dame started off hot and then we was like all right yeah it's it's getting out of hand early like so it it y'all shifted definitely shifted the the landscape of that game the way you came out the way Dame came out so yeah I was pretty tight about that pretty tight about that yeah we couldn't we couldn't miss and then and then JB started making shots we couldn't we couldn't miss and we we just made we just made so many shots that's that's the interesting part though is like when is the G is the game ever going to get back to being like we talked about in the locker room like when is it gonna get back to being serious I wonder I mean I feel like I got I I got probably more to do with that because I'm a younger guy but that's the interesting part is when is it going to get back to being like like really like serious I I don't know when we'll get there if if we'll ever get there I had an idea of like all right say fourth quarter defense scores points like how you think that changes the allstar game like in what way like like you're saying like like stops that's the most PG quote I think I've ever heard I'm saying though like all or what about because then because then all offensively guys won't go as hard then right if offense doesn't count so like what if defense is double points like so if you shoot a three if you get the stop is six points for the defense or for the other team it's going to be crazy I'm not rolling I I think that couple things layup count you should count layups layups shouldn't count you have to dunk it or shoot a three or mid-range whatever but layups don't count if if we're playing like that because yeah nobody's nobody's even there they sleep when you see the layup well there's got to be like nine guys or eight guys back and you G have to what about you get scored on you get subbed out dudes don't want to be there you you going have to put more time on the shot clock though you got to walk us through this play you guys are playing the timber wolfs the other day and you get the ball and you Outlet it to your teammate Aaron neith and he's driving to the basket and it looks like he has a game tying layup but then Anthony Edwards just comes out of uh nowhere probably one of the craziest blocks we've seen in a long time on on TV it looked crazy but walk us through that play what was it like in person and like what were you guys thinking when you saw him go up and hit his head on the rim while blocking the shot with his left hand you know I never I didn't even notice he hit his head on the rim until after when we got to locker room I mean it's unbelievable unbelievable uh I mean the whole fourth quarter like I think he had like 16 in the fourth and he was making some crazy shots um that's what he does but you know sometimes like when somebody's shooting certain shots in the fourth quarter in a close game when they shoot it when they let it go you're like yes like I know that's not going in like there's no way but like every time I did that a was making it every time and then that block was unbelievable unbelievable it was CRA I don't even know like after the game you're like because I made the pass I'm like should I have kept it should I have thrown it to the left instead of the right it's like nah like and just made a ridiculous play like what can we what can we really do about that it was uh it was ins and I was sick the next day because then he played against Cleveland and he had like zero points in the fourth and over time I'm like it works like this every single time bro every time yeah yeah I I personally thought like the block Anthony did was amazing but it it wasn't a foul on Ant it it should have been called on McDaniels I thought McDaniels like took n Smith out like I thought that play was Wild N Smith right there's a lot I thought Smith took uh uh or uh McDaniels took n Smith out but the the block was was by Anthony Edwards was clean it that that was beautiful like his athleticism is off the charts but I they could have called the foul on that look uh I want to talk about the playoffs the playoffs man I know it's uh been a real tight race going on to close the season off but y'all Pacers are making the playoffs again and y'all haven't been to the to the playoffs what since the uh the bubble last time right that's been a long long time but that's not the only thing going on for the first time Tyrese it's your first time going to the playoffs baby I didn't even know that until today you know what I'm saying so I want to know have you even thought about that moment being your first time playing in the playoffs man nah yeah it's all I think about it's all I think about I'm so excited for it uh like it's hard not you know because the the race between four and eight is so close like for me I think everybody in that in that wants to avoid the play in nobody wants to be in the playing have to play extra games if you don't have to so like it's hard for me not to like think so much about the playoffs because I got to take care of in front of me every day like like we talked about like one or two bad losses could like completely put you you know solidified in the eight seed and you can't like assume that you're going to get help like the every time that we expect a team to like they're like okay maybe they should lose tonight they end up winning and then it's like you just got to stop worrying about the help that you could get or couldn't get and worry about yourself and just kind of be like living the moment and uh yeah but I'm super excited for it I feel like uh you know it'll be interesting because of how fast we play I'm excited to see how that translates to the playoffs because the playoffs is more slow and you know methodical and understanding all Tendencies and all that stuff so I'm really excited to see how that how that translates and you know hopefully if we get there like who we're matching up with because it could be you know the way that it's moving around I mean it could be anybody in that 4 to eight race it could be Cleveland it could be Milwaukee it could be a lot of different teams so that's really exciting for me and I just wanted to play in high stakes basketball I mean obviously the inseason tournament run was cool but like the playoffs is what everybody wants to be a part of you want to you know compete for Larry run so I'm really excited for it and uh just looking forward to seeing like how our team translates how my game translates um seeing you know how how the cookie crumbles you mentioned in an interview that teams are starting to guard you a little differently now right a little more face guarding probably adding a little more physicality um and denying you the ball obviously you're the head of the snake so trying to get the ball out of your hands is probably the like game plan going into that night right so like what are some of the strangest coverages that you've seen up until the season so far yeah there's been some interesting stuff um I would say up until like up until like the Lakers game in the tournament everybody was kind of guarding me the same way like everybody was mainly in a you know up to touch at or dropping uh like semi deny but not really I mean just knowing that I'm kind of the focal point and then after after the Laker game then everybody started to Blitz all my ball screens um and that took a little bit of an adjustment but I feel like I figured that out like understanding getting off the ball early playing more through pitches than having to come off ball screens every time and like becoming a screener myself I've never I've never set screen so like me trying to understand like how I can be better there too but I I think now it's interesting because like it's just adjusted so much and I'm just seeing so much different coverages because now I feel like teams won't Blitz me anymore because I feel like I've like figured it out where it's a lot more like traditionally teams have put like taller longer dudes on me to like bother my jumper and stuff like that I feel like it's adjusting a little bit more to putting like a quicker a quicker like more endurance guy to pick me up full court so like sometimes when I'm tired I'm like I'm not trying to bring this up like take it up you know what I mean and then the minute I give it up it's like a full it's a full denial like kind of like they're they're playing on my top side sending everything down and and that's when I really have to become a screener I think that part of my struggles have been I've just been conceding to these denials like so easily and then kind of like you know you see there's some players in the league who do it when they're getting denied they're just like y'all do it like y'all take care of it four on four you know like I I've kind of had to get back to like chasing the ball a little bit but like in an unselfish way if that makes sense like because when you hear chasing the ball you just think like somebody's going G they're not passing like no no I'm trying to chase the ball to kind of put teams in different you know uh coverages then we can get to our action and stuff like that so that's kind of been the biggest adjustment for me is like just kind of learning how to play off the ball a little bit more like when I played with with Fox like I didn't necessarily play off the ball like it wasn't like sets were being run for me off the ball I was just spotting up off the ball but it wasn't like I had to like come off pin downs and scream for somebody to you know like it's it's a complete completely different especially without buddy and uh me having to adjust to that role so it's been really interesting uh to kind of like learn more about myself and like change change my workouts a little bit more I feel like for the majority of the year my workouts have just been pick and roll handling an ISO you know getting to my getting the shots and now it's like I'm like setting screens working on pin down shooting like I've never done that before so that that's kind of been the interesting part with the with our new group right essentially you letting the defense Off The Hook by not going and get the ball is what you're saying yeah yeah yeah for sure like cuz when you think like Chase the ball I'm like well I don't want to get in guys's way but there's like different ways for me to like Chase the ball to get downhill like if you're chasing the ball to reset then we're slowing down and that's we're not at our best but if I'm chasing the ball by set by setting like cross screens and like setting screens for Pascal when he has the ball and different stuff like that we get better stuff like it's like so interesting I was talking to somebody about this like the minute that I started you would think like by being super unselfish so by me not bringing up all the time that like my assist would go like up but it's like completely the other way like by me being so unselfish to be like y'all handle it four on four just every points assists everything goes down like it all goes down because I don't have the ball you know what I mean so that's kind of been the interesting part it's like counterintuitive a little bit but you know figuring it out gotta I I do want to ask because you're such a dual threat with playmaking and scoring when it when the game is going like at what point does one click in more than the other like is it teams is it schemes is it Phil is it it's time like at what point is it like all right reys you got to be a scorer right now yeah I think uh like I during the flow of the game right I don't necessarily think about that I'm just like thinking how do I make the right basketball play right now you know it feels like I've been on a this is what it's been all year for me going to halftime I'm two for six I got 10 assists and we're down five and then they come up to me and they show me the stat sheet and they're like six shots this isn't enough and then I go in the third quarter and I shoot I shoot shoot shoot and then like it balances out you know like because I'm like I got to be more aggressive so like I would say like if I I don't know for sure but I feel like if you look at my numbers the third and the fourth would be where I get the majority of my points and I've been trying to like find a way to adjust that mentality and because like I remember Tyrese Maxi said it to me uh last season like I went in a halftime with like 10 assist probably like five points and we're coming out of halftime and I'm wiping off my shoes and tyes comes and guards me full court and he all right time to play defense now like you're actually gonna score and I'm like people actually think that about me like I didn't I didn't like know that I did that he was the first person to point it out to me and uh I think it's it's not on purpose it's just the flow of the game and trying to find the right way to like I think every game is a battle of those of those balances I talk to like Sue bird about it all the time because she's somebody had to do it too and there's not many people have to like do both and like have like figured out how to do it both at a high level and uh so just trying to find the the the right way between the two because there's times like I said by me being too unselfish it's like selfish to our team because now teams aren't guarding me the same way guys aren't getting the same looks like just trying to find that balance is always like it's it's my biggest battle it's a it's a battle every game mhm I want to I want to ask him just because Tyrese I don't know if you've heard P say this on a previous episode but now that you're kind of having to learn uh how to move without the ball in your hands how comfortable are you with back door cutting because P talked about it before which I think's funny but every time he does back door he he makes a great play or something you know goes well so I think he's better at it than what he thinks but for you have you had any like you know little back door cuts and getting some easy baskets now that these guys are face guarding you or getting you off the ball a little more a little bit a little bit like uh but I think that all that is like based on like the speed of your cut too and we actually talked about my first time on this podcast when was like I suck at back dooring and I was like you're had a 360 game whatever uh but I think that it's all set up by like how good of a screen Setter you are too like I think why Steph is Steph gets so many back doors a game because of how good of a screen Setter he is and like how honest you have to be to play on his top side it also goes as to like how good of a shooter he is at the same time but I feel like to get I feel like my back doors are not going to come from me being in the corner like that's not how my back doors come I feel like my back doors will come from screening and slipping uh or like you know like back screens slipping like stuff like that it's a little different I feel like uh but maybe I'm tripping I probably got like one back door layup All Season it it's not easy bro I a it's not easy Ian watching like Steph and those guys and like I'm like why do they bite so hard on them coming off I feel like I'd be doing the same thing and they don't ever bite everybody just knows what I'm doing I don't know no I I I feel you I could be on the bench watching the game and somebody that subbed in for me will get a back door and I'm like how did he do it like why is that so easy and so simple like that could have been me I had only asked that question about the Dual threat of you being a playmaker and a score because of you obviously play for Coach Carl who's been notorious of being a little harder on his point guard and that relationship there I know we had dinner not too long ago and you talked about how comfortable he's made you and and how good you feel at that point guard position under his coaching talk to us a little bit about or or the the the public about um just how much he's elevated your game and allowed you to to kind of do a little bit of everything and run the show and and you know call the plays yeah he gives me like the the utmost Freedom like all the time like I can't there's probably like five or six instances a game where we're at the free throw line and he calls something and I'll just be like we're not running that like and he'll be like okay go ahead you know like he has the utmost trusted me to to wave his calls off and uh you know just be honest and have honest dialogue like I feel like the best possible way for a coach and a player to have a relationship is just like honesty and accountability and I feel like I have that with with Coach carile like I've obviously been struggling a little bit lately like he calls me to his hotel room like not just to like not to like cuss me out or anything but just like obviously tell me how I need to be better and like problem solve with me to figure that out versus you know trying to I hate you know you gotta hate when like people like think they have all the answers like he's just trying to like help me through that by speaking about how I can be better there um and what what makes the most sense and I feel like just our our honest relationship helps everything work because when coaches like lie to you or they think they got all the answers when we both know that they don't it never works like I just all I ask for is like honesty and like he just holds me accountable at all times like we watch a lot of film together on the plane or something he might call me to the back we'll go through some offensive sets that you know he likes or talk about what I like and in certain sets and then we'll watch like a lot of my film and like honestly because offensively of course I'm going to watch my offensive film all the time like OverWatch it it's more like how can I be better defensively how can I be in the right spots just like more I think offensively I'm such like a you know tell everybody where to go and like use my IQ on that end but this year has just been about a lot more figuring how can I do that on the defensive end as well uh to kind of make up for the things that I don't do well on the defensive end just knowing schemes and knocking more into like the advanced Scout and stuff like that he's just held me you know accountable in all those in all those facets love that love that before we cut I I do do have one more question you guys did bring over Pascal um before we wrap just talk a little bit about how much Pascal has helped your play and helped you guys um because he's been playing phenomenal feel it feels like he's it's crazy I feel like Pascal's been there his whole career like he just came in and he just like it was just like you just dropped him and he just started performing the same way he performed in Toronto so I think a lot has to do with you with you making him comfortable and and playing the style of basketball that guys are playing but just talk to us a little bit about how much Pascal has helped you guys yeah I think it's it's it's been it's been good um trying to like kind of learn on the fly like from the minute he got here we only had and I was obviously still hurt and then I came back the game he got here and I got re hurt so just kind of having to figure that out I was on a minute's restriction so our minutes together weren't you know super heavy it's just like it's been like a fun process of just trying to figure out everything uh what makes the most sense and how we play and you know still being myself because I'm sure like you can relate like going to OKC the first time like learning how to play with Russ like it took it took some time like learning how to play with like another guy you know what I mean like that that that's how I look at like me is like how do I play with him like play the right way like he screen for me I screen for him he can still get his looks I still get mine just trying to balance between those two has been interesting but I think like the best part is like P is such a good dude that like I feel like our dialogue has always been open from the minute he got here we met in Portland uh in like the lunch room and we just talked about like expectations between us two and how we can help each other and like he's pulled me aside so many times in the locker room like you know I need you to shoot more like we're gonna get to the playoff teams are gonna you know guard us a little different you're going to be expected to take more shots like get them out now like understand like you're going to go your your your shots are going to jump up when the playoffs start because you're gonna be held more accountable to do that you know and uh it's just been good because he's you know he's played in big playoff games he's won a championship and so just kind of learning from him has been has been good as well and uh you know it's a partnership that's that's ever growing and uh curious to see how it looks at the end of the year but yeah I'm excited it it works really well I feel like we flow off each other well love that love that well we appreciate you Tyrese we don't want to take any more of your time thanks for your Insight and your outlook bro we want to wish you uh a a healthy finish to this season and uh we'll definitely see you soon bro yes sir appreciate you guys having me stay close to the action with AT&T at home or on the go AT&T keeps you connected to the game you love fellas before we WP we got a check in with our podcast P family always you know they send some some you know Postman P questions so D go ahead and uh what we got what's the first question on Postman okay so the the first Postman Peak question of the day it comes from Daniel yings burner love it burner account burner account and he asked P I recently rewatched your 254th quarter verse Brooklyn when you were in OKC and it had me thinking how do you approach scoring game to game is it a flow or is it more strategic where you try to get points per quarter like MJ and Shaq have talked about I like it good question good question Daniel e Ewing burner uh to be honest game to game is kind of just a flow um I always have a mindset going into the game to to try to go dominate both ends try to be aggressive when I have the ball and definitely look for opportunities to to be aggressive I think when it relates to that OKC game that fourth quarter it just I don't know I know recently Braun talked about it the game against us where he came back that second half he was phenomenal but it's just a Zone you go into and uh it literally feels like you cannot miss anything you throw up it feels like the game slowed down it feels like the hoop is that much bigger it feels like I don't know it's it's it's kind of equivalent to like video games where you get a power up and you're just moving and doing things way better than your opponent and that's kind of just how I can best describe what those you know scoring explosions look like or feel like but on a game- to game basis is it's kind of just having that mentality to go out and just be aggressive and you know um you know just put pressure on on the defense any chance you can do you think that there's guys just follow up with that do you think that there's guys that do approach the game like that because that answer like you know I feel like most people today do say that it's like with the flow of the game like I'm not really yes I need to be aggressive but like I remember MJ and Shaq talking about like I think it was in MJ's book like yeah to score 32 I just 888 you know a couple free throws and so forth do you think there's guys in the league that do look at that like on a quarter to quarter basis yeah yeah absolutely I I mean I know there's guys in the league that look at like if I can get 10 free throws I know I'll at least have 20 to 25 points and so there's there's guys that definitely look at it that way um you know it's it's you know Five Points a corner I got 20 um I won't you know say names but there are guys that look at it that way next question comes from Kyle cap and he wants to know what record is more likely to be broken is it wils 100 point game or LeBron's 40,000 points what y'all think fellas ah the 100 points really yeah both are difficult I feel like both are difficult but 40,000 bro points in a game or 40,000 points career points like think about it you got to be I think I saw like a stat or something like that in order to break that you got to play 20 years average something average 30 and like play minimum like 70 60 or 70 games a season that's very hard to do Le BR came out of high school right came out of high school and he been in the so that alone it takes someone to start their career on fire right yeah he been on fire ever since ever since it takes someone to start their career on fire and then it takes them you have to have the longevity to do that every year and he got a lot of he wasn't even really hurt a lot of Seasons didn't sit out he's every game blessed I wouldn't say lucky blessed and and cuz he he takes care of his body pay a lot of money to do it he shoot yeah I mean think pay that much money for your body I think you should have 40,000 sh it's paying off I I'd be curious if there was a stat PE on like longevity or average tenses in the NBA from like the 80s the 90s and how much like modern medicine and and different you know accessibility to things like because you never know like what if in 10 15 years there's some new you know procedure whatever it may be where guys can have a higher chance at that longevity I don't know it's just a crazy you what I mean maybe the longevity will get easier as modern medicine progresses but 100 both are difficult both are yeah proba I wouldn't say that to me the 100 is not that difficult just because the way a quarter exactly and just the way that this I'm saying just the way this game is played now and say for instance Stephan Curry yeah if one day before he out and he's done and he's like just going I want to try it he probably could do it for sure that's a record that man can break I don't care what you say that's one man who I think and second maybe second I would say Dame dollar you know but first for sure Stephen Curry can do that he can definitely do that I don't think so that's they Chang the rules I would say technically he could like he could definitely go for it but it it just it's letting it's easier it's easier if you picking out of the two it's easier to get 100 in a game 4K in a career I'm just saying cuz if he I mean dudes you think about now dudes have been scoring in the 70s close to it yeah I know that's what I'm saying I I just want to know what that looked like like was that front end heavy like did he start the game off with like 70 or 60 in the first half and then they started doubling them and or like was it a late ser where he just went crazy I think they came out with video wasn't there like some Recreation of the video footage then they like rendered it to 4K of that or no one was there that was a game no one saw the people always say they don't know if it's true or if it's false did Wilt actually score 100 points and I I'm must say just because of the the the the the year that he played in wasn't nobody as big as him and was nobody as good as him it was like he was playing with ants and I would say it was easy work B Bop easy honey every there been a lot of people that came out and was like yeah I was at that game I don't I've never heard anybody never heard nobody say yeah I that's what I'm saying not even in a movie made a joke about it never right he had to of though you don't bring a piece of paper out and something like that whole thing was a gimmick like he that part I don't I don't I wouldn't get why they lie about it either photoshopped what if it is photo they would phot they photoing back then does look a little littley like I say I I would say in his time period when he was playing I can say it could have happened cuz he was so dominant like literally nobody could guard him it was like just give me just give with the ball he got it with ball got it got it seey I could see it happening just because of that time period and how how dominant he was but like let's see the stats right here game right here yeah so he 63 63 attempts 28 for 32 from the free throw line was he a good free throw shoo I mean he was good that day good that day 28 rebound 25 rebounds two assists he had two assists so he could have had 104 two fouls could had four I don't know man I don't I don't know I I don't know that's a lot of shots cuz you think about the free throws too like he shot 63 times but 32 free throw attempts like that's okay can I ask that's another 15 shots what was the length of the the court back then still 9 yeah yeah okay and how the same the uh uh the uh rims everything height of the rims and all that everything everything was the same there's just no three-point line I'm assuming okay I'm just going say he was dominant down there that's it and he played that's impressive All 48 minutes he played the whole game what's what's the they had to have won by they had final score of this game was it a they play against they won by 30 they won by 22 on that Knicks team a the they was oh so they didn't even play they played in the small through the life theary gillary Jil they ugly nobody got cafeteria Gil come on I don't know man I don't want to I don't want to you know I don't want to go against tabl people like oh it must have gone to will that's just that's just like even the scores table people like did they all die like yeah like that's why I'm curious who was on the Knicks is anyone still you just that's that was the only thing that could like sell me on like there was people like yeah I was actually at that game cuz it wasn't that long ago do y know do y'all know his age at that when he did that when he8 I'm trying to think if he you know there just so many mysterious score look at the toal score 169 or 147 D who was everybody was Balling on they were some someone right and they talk about our era is too easy like there's no there's nooters there's no three-pointers on for a long time there was no three-pointers 25 he was 25 at the time so I give him that I would say he was probably very out but then again there's like he's had games of 70s multiple games of 70s he's had 60 point games like and that was one game he just said I'm getting 100 to that you saw KOB you he probably could have got more you know what I mean I think I think I'm going I'm going with Will got the 100 he got it going we got to we got to believe he got it I'm going with will that that's history and his in his in his name man we got to believe it I'm I'm rolling I would love to see it and and just have the confirmation but I'm rolling you know what I like about the most it give everybody motivation to beat it it do it do it's entertainment at the end of the day it's entertainment for the league exactly come on man next question comes from w w we gonna get back to you but uh we G to still ask your question they want to know is there something specific you would want to adopt from European feea basketball to USA Basketball yeah I think there's a lot of cool and interesting things that go on in in the Euro feba leagues uh for one like have you seen like their their game atmospheres like my wife Danielle is obviously Serbian so like she showed me some of the partisan and the ah red something red I want to say it's like red red star she showed me the Rivalry game between those two and they play like outside and it's like smoking fire fire and it's theme songs and chants and like that would be dope if that was here in the US you know what I mean Gladiator yeah it's like you really like and then I was when I was there they was telling me like it's really like on some gang type like what side you on like what team you rep like and it's ramifications behind that you get caught from what I was told like it's it's it's that deep um and so that'll be dope like not the violence and not that part of it but just how the games are um I remember we played the feea games when we're playing other countries they're waving their Flags in the stands and they're singing like their Countryside songs and it was just like yo this is dope like you know you really like they really Embrace where they're from in their culture so I I think that that that would be dope like if that was part of the game I would definitely think it would be dope smoke I can see you in there like doing your chance in the songs and the you know going crazy in the stands only you do that now the only thing could be bad is when you lose after you did all that you have you at least you had fun though you did you had fun though I would defitely say that cuz I know I come out singing and doing all the that they do sure to be off and all that cuz we got to break down though like what are the actual difference of rules you have the goal tending that's one that I know because we have been talking about the offensive and defensive side and all those European players say it's easier to score in the NBA than it is back where they're from so what what other rules really are there besides the go tending is there three in the key I think you can stay in the key longer I think that's one I think yeah you can stay in the key a little longer obviously go tending go tending would be crazy in the NBA I know they call like it's it's a certain step you can't do like you have to put the ball down before you actually take a step in feea basketball opposed to us you can catching catching and go yeah and dribble as you're going yeah outside of that it's not really any big differences but physicality physicality is different they're they're way more physical I think in Euro leagues but I don't like if we had that goldendent rule no one scoring nobody like our league is too athletic like it's too our league Le still doing them the case right you talking about his chase down block yeah that he have a th points right now at 40,000 yeah you start racking up the points he took away man n he got to be at 10,000 points that he he denied I'm trying to think what else the could they go tending you said what they get more time in the keepy like there's no defensive 3 seconds no I think because they have the the lane is actually bigger it's like uh instead yeah it's like a trapazoid so the lane is actually a little bigger I wonder if there are any other rules their charge circle is different what they deem is charge is different than in the NBA you got to be like outside the circle is the same amount of uh rosters I mean players on the same I think so less technicals I know that we're seeing guys get body slammed over wild and they and wait and they say three is shorter than the NBA it's easier they saying that it's easier to score in the NBA come on man but you got but you got to think about it our game is is more ISO and over there is they not letting you hold the ball in in ISO it's a lot of ball movement it's a lot of player movement it's like they actually running offense over there they rules make a difference yeah yeah yeah yeah like they really fundamental in how they play whereas over here it's it's ISO you can get a shot up in two seconds if you want to like you know so it's really a offensive or isolation heavy lead that we have like like Dame dollar all the time yeah all the time the Fe quart is two feet smaller okay so you have the quarter smaller like vertically or horizontally that makes sense like where's the the so it's vertically be different if Itor if the sidelines were 2 feet and that'd be more difficult before I say what I say do they play with a bigger ball or smaller ball okay Ball's the same monkey I said that good that was good you C cleared that up for us for sure yeah there's some there's some differences but for me it the takeaway is is like if we can have the environments that they play in that should have be dope that would be dope of course that should have be dope y'all get to come out with some real when we played Thea like it was like they were hidden like there there was no freedom of movement like if you come across that paint they chucking you you know what I mean like almost to the point where it was like no bro we got a fight like what what you doing like I remember who hit me and we and it was dudes that I was cool with in the NBA it it want to say it was and to this day like after he did this I was like all right it's smoke every time I see Patty Mills we played Australia and they was Australia's like that team they they dirty like Australia was dirty he did a Kobe like he did man he he did something where I'm just running like running to get back on offense and I'm just running to feel the corner and he just like right in my chest like I'm like this is different bro wait hold on like what like and then ever ever from that point on like I'm a person that I I'mma get my revenge so like at at that point every time I saw him I'm I'm hitting it I'm hitting him so at that point I was like yo this is different over here like and and and it wasn't that I wasn't I I like the physicality but it just it caught me by surprise cuz those same dudes in particular they wern't doing that in the league so now we playing over here and this is their game this is how they play um but the phys yeah the physicality is definitely different like even like Fast Break situations like that take file now over there like that's your chance to like line somebody up oh like it ain't it ain't no transition it ain't no flagrant like nah you get a fast break like they going to put you on your ass you going to think about the next time you get a breakaway I don't want no fast break yeah I don't know if I want a breakway take the ball down when you get it take the ball down that was one thing I noticed they they hitting on them on the fast break opportunities too it ain't no soft foul love it we know Kobe could have played in that league for sure oh yeah that's that's why Kobe thrived in in the feea game d and I I I think to that question of like the more physicality I think it's more so just cuz they're gearing up for for playoffs like I think they're getting us ready for to play in that atmosphere and and them not calling the cheap Ticky Tac files they going to let us actually play in the playoffs um so everybody that's getting these little Quick Draw fouls or you know running into the Defenders I think they're going to start slowly limiting that and uh you know get back to you know just letting us play all right so our last question it's coming from Cavita and she says that I know when I go to the games I can hear what rivalry fans say loud and clear so P she wants to know if you have ever heard fans Courtside during your games yeah and no yeah and no um like you definitely hear what people saying court side but it's like soon as you process what they just said it's like you already like going down the court and getting ready for the next play or like so like it just happens so quick and then sometimes you're on the court and you just like you just blacked out like it's not hearing nothing you don't hear you don't know what you don't like only thing that matters at that point is just what's what's within that rectangle and I don't I don't hear I don't see it's just I'm locked in but I do know one thing he do do soon as the game is over he always go to Mama and Daddy got to acknowledge M and Pops I don't care who if who there he always go to Mama and Daddy and then he'll come if if he see you after the game still in your little spot he might come say what up to you buy and that's about it but majority of the time he might have a little little ball or Jersey and give it to a y and he about a year you dig I do but like you I I got to acknowledge like my parents like it's it's it's so cool to me that I can go over there and I can hug my parents yeah you know what I mean like that it never gets old it's it's so cool to me that I can do that I tell I tell whoever sitting with me all the time I'll be like watch peace soon as the game I don't care if the camera's going talk watch what he do first watch what he do first D you go right to pop every time when Jackie runs around Gets behind him just so it's yeah I do want to make a public announcement now that you brought up that subject I do want to make a public announcement please give me space when I go and see my parents please please please it was getting it's starting to get chaotic with everyone starting to go over there my mom is has a disability so if you knock my mom over it will be problems okay please please give us space when I go to see my parents I I got to I got to throw that out there because it's starting to get a little too hectic they had people putting their babies putting their kids over where my mom seats on those those seats like they had people throwing their kids over and like I'm like bro what is y'all doing like that's a lot it's becoming to be a lot yeah it's it's stared to be a lot like a jersey but a full full baby they're putting their babies over likeing them over you see what they done did they done mess it up for their s they did that was going to be extra security it will be over you know so hey hey I love the fan engagement I love the fan engagement but my priority is to go see my parents and make sure that they're good as y'all see every time I I make sure she gets on her her chair and and gets CED out correctly and taken care of so maybe we could get Jackie like a seat behind them and that's I take care of M and Pops every game already know y'all can have y y both can have your hair out you and po Pop Pop's going probably had a ponytail cops don't like getting his hair braided too much he told me he like the he like the Poli H that's funny I'm sure there have I I can't think of none that come to mind but I'm I mean I'm sure there there's been times where I was like you know that that okay that was funny that that gives me a like oh okay I see you you done play in every Arena somebody there there's been there's been some yeah there's been some funny moments for sure I can't think of nothing I've I've I remember more so the times where you know people got out of line more so than say some some funny I think cuz the fact of the matter is like they say a lot of more funny and more positive and like that was like oh okay that's actually like I I I see you that was funny they say that more they do that more than the the bad times so I think I'm just wrapped on those bad times I think I got Aon I think it was Aaron it could have been Drew but we were sitting on like the second row and I was uh there was a foul call and they were complaining to the ref and I was just like Aaron stop crying like a baby you know and he turned around and then he sees me and I was just like laughing at like okay my bad my bad so all right fellas well that's a wrap on the episode great episode with you guys I thought we had good time Postman P we had Tyrese come through and bless us once again and uh
