The Bulls are gonna be sneaky good this year.

They have this young man who's gonna let an all star level.

They have Lori marketing.

They also drafted Kobe White.

And you know, my guys act.

Levine is on the squad.

Jacoby.

So what excites you about this squad at the season is about to get started.

I mean, you names all the great players.

We have a lot of players who know their role on the team know, including bad and sad.

Hranjski.

I feel like we have a really good young court with a little bit of better veteran.

So we have a more to each other.

We all are kind of from the same background.

So we kind of get along from day one.

Since I met everyone there like we've been feeling good, we want another week.

We have fun on and off the court.

If I were gonna be really, really good as long as everybody stays healthy, I feel like that's the biggest portion is staying healthy this year.

Well, you have You had the thumb issue and then you have the core issue.

Are you healthy?

Ready?

Go for the training camp?

Yeah, I'm 100% ready to go.

I've been playing pick up almost every day these last couple weeks.

So I've been feeling really good and just can't You're right.

I'm super ready for the season.

Who gave your buckets and pick up?

Who gave you buckets?

Who gave you buckets and pick up she?

I don't think no one gave me a bucket.

Weighs handed out the buckets, you know, Go on some course, Of course.

Of course.

No one scored on you all summer Long after you know your first year in the n b A could be a world wind What are some of the things that you were exposed to that surprised you on and off the floor for the first thing on the court was how strong everybody.

Musician waas I mean, you know, college is one thing.

You know, people are strong, but you can probably use your strength out power like people.

But at this level, everybody is just a strong if not stronger and faster than you.

So you got to find other ways to be certain players out thinking hit him early.

You know, look, names like that.

And off the court, of course, the money.

You know, I can't say I came from nothing, but I know it's a huge jump, you know?

Saying so what if some of the challenges that the money brings people, I save more money, more problems.

But I don't have that much, but I can't believe that's true.

I can.

It is not more money, more problems.

It's gotta be more money, less problems.

But what are some of the challenges now that you know, people in your life know that you've got some money in the bank, get hit up like, how's it work?

Uh, no.

It usually starts with your family close family.

I feel like they they deserve something that you earned.

You know, I have two great parents at home, so they kind of understand that, you know, they were just being great parents.

And now I'm going to take care of my choice.

Not because I have to, you know, I'm saying so and learn how to say no.

You know, I had a lot of friends out there, not friends anymore just because of the amount of money I'm making out.

So you know, it's just life and find out who's really there for me, it was really not.

This young man is preaching the gospel way.

We owe this one lesson.

There are people going to get mad at you for three reasons.

How you spend your time, your energy and your money.

So you do a really good job.

You did a really good job of understanding that from a young age.

And don't look back.

I don't regret it.

Don't allow people to make you feel guilty that you're really talented, eh?

NBA basketball player With a bright future, there's not gonna fund all of their goals and dreams.

Don't feel guilty.

Yep.

Exactly.

It sounds like you have some experience with that, Jalen.

Learn from experience.

I play basketball since 2000 and seven and I still got people hit me up.

Okay, Speaking of that, so Oh, Jacoby.

And now, as you see, we embody the cultural in this show and we love hip hop.

You were born in 1999.

What?

Whether you consider old school or what are some of the artist that has fired you growing up?

Uh, I'm a big R and B fan.

Uh, no, I grew up.

My parents kind of played that lying around the crib.

So I'll probably say my go to probably boys to man.

I know I feel like in this generation, the best artists of all time is definitely draped, like just because you're so versatile.

He's ableto give You are different moves today, so I feel like he's he's go and drink and play a little basketball Tuesday as part of his house doing something.

Jalen grew up in an era in Detroit, where the Pistons would even shake hands with the Bulls like they wouldn't even shake hands with the Bulls.

And you play for the Bulls Now it seems like it's a different errand now.

Like, do you feel like players are a little too friendly with with opponents and with each other?

Yeah, yeah, that's something I really don't like.

I don't like it when my teammates is wrapping up with the teammates when they make a good move.

Opponents when they make a good move like I really hate it.

Uh, I've checked a couple of my teammates whenever they have done that.

Like, you know, like I can do that after the game.

Like right now we're trying to win, especially with us not having that winning record that we were shooting for last season.

We never know someone's out there smiling.

Having fun like especially was losing really got under my skin.

I went there because the best players usually define how air behaves.

So when I was in the lead, the best players were Michael Jordan, Hakeem, Elijah Want Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal.

It didn't became the LeBron here, and he has figured out how to be great into my.

In my opinion, he's found a way to disarm the opponents in So this attitude.

Jacoby.

This young man got a chance to be a V p one day.

Mama works with that attitude.

I'm excited about this.

He's like, Look, I'm gonna go out there and get buckets.

No one gives me buckets.

I'm attract talk trash, and I'm not gonna be friendly with the opponents.
