There also a few city guys like you who could get drafted.

Precious jewel.

Coal.

Anthony.

What?

What do you think?

About what?

That you know, in terms of just for New York City toe have, like three local guys going in the draft in the first round.

What do you think the significance of that is?

Yeah.

I feel like a lot of people in New York look up to us just because of what we're doing and and where we're going.

Especially in this draft, like everyone from New York who who's in the draft or great players.

And they put in the work to be in the position that they are.

And I feel like that's even for myself.

And so, like us, us having that name behind us.

All right?

Especially New York being a basketball city.

Like if we have a lot to live up to and so we're gonna we're gonna make sure we do.

So when we get to that next level, you know, it's been a while since you've had three New Yorkers first round picks.

What?

What do you think that would mean for that to happen.

I feel like it's gonna be amazing, but at the same time, it it's a different level and and something we're gonna have toe stand out and be a name for New York.

And I feel like us three.

Or I think there's a couple other guys to us going into the lead like we're gonna have toe do what we have to do toe, make sure people know where we're from and and make sure the statement or the statement that we leave is very good.

So thanks.

Thanks, Dan.

Walk.

It will be a stand with you with daily times.

Um, you know, by the time this next season starts, it'll been a year since you've lost Ah, basketball game.

It was last December.

Um, what's it been like to not have just the feel off the ball, going up, competing in the environment that you're used to and how have you tried to replicate it?

I'm in playing in games like I missed it a lot, but at the same time, like this extra time, it's only helping me like I feel like the extra time that I had to be ableto get in the weight room, get get on the court with NBA Guys, I feel like these opportunities is helping me for the next level.

And I feel like I'm more paired and mentally prepared for when the time comes and and I feel like Like, when I'm when I'm on the court and and that jump ball goes up, I feel like I've been waiting so long that it is gonna be an amazing feeling.

So, yeah, Anthony's later.

Yeah.

I was wondering if you had any contact with the Warriors, and and if you have a sense that that is potentially arranged all the way up there, there at two.

Right now?

Yes, sir.

So I had I had an interview call with warriors.

Haven't heard anything after that interview call, but the call went very well.

Uh, they have a great organization over there at Golden State, and, um, like they believe they liked me a lot.

So, um, I don't know what happened after the call.

They haven't reached out or anything.

So when the time comes for for me to get drafted, we'll see Mark Berman.

Yeah, I'll be, uh, you were signed by c A their agency.

Did you get a chance to get to know Leon Rose before he became next president?

Or do you know Leon from C A.

Back, then were just No, sir.

I didn't get Thio meet with Leon before before, See a Because I believe I was introduced to Austin Brown, who's my head CIA agent and everyone that's in my agent Austin Brown.

Mitch, Um, Christine Sam, those guys right there, like I'm on the phone with them every single day.

I don't believe like I ever had a Zoom Kohler or other than when I was talking to the Knicks.

I don't believe I was talking him before that.

So thank you.

George Clinton.

Yes, hi O B.

I cover Kentucky for the newspaper Lexington.

I wondered what you could say about your brother Jacob, his game and how he's developing what his potential is.

Yeah, Jacob Jacobs potential is super high.

Like everything he's doing that Kentucky like I'll talk to him every single day, and he just literally 10 minutes before I got on the zoom called, he literally called me and said, We just tested our vert and he touched the top of the backboard and knowing him, he exaggerates sometime.

But like he's definitely putting in the work.

He's super excited that he's ableto be able to play this year.

And when the opportunity for him to get on the court and show what he's capable of, he's gonna he's gonna make a statement, and I feel like I can't wait to be able to play with him at the next level because I feel like he's working enoughto be ableto get their with me.

So thank you from home Hi.

Every time from Double Clutch in the UK, I just wonder when you're thinking about where you'd like to get picked.

What are the most important factors to you?

So is it just about being is high pick is possible or you're thinking about the city you're gonna be in or the playing time.

I just I feel like I would love to get picked at a place that's gonna best fit me and best fit, uh, the people around me, like I feel like going to a place where people are gonna are gonna wanna help me develop and get better and is gonna make sure that I'm gonna be great one day be be a Hall of Famer beat player of the year.

Like all these things, M v p like I feel like going to a team that's gonna work on me and and develop me to be a great players is where I wanna go.

Like whether that's one or at the bottom of the job.

Like I feel like wherever I go, team the team that's gonna help me prepare the most toe to be great.

And when a lot of games is where I wanna go.

So Chris Miller, we'll be.

Congratulations on your journey, man.

Thank you so much.

I got two questions.

The first one is How well were you playing in March?

From your estimation, uh, this year, Yes, before the pandemic, I feel like I feel like I was playing really well.

I believe we only had one game, uh, George Washington, which was our last game on March 7th.

But I believe, like if we if we would have went to March March Madness, we would have we would have showed a lot of people that were made of, and I feel like we did that throughout the season.

but March is a different ball game.

And if we would have got there, we would have.

We showed a lot of people that that we can hang with anybody, so I just have one follow up.

I'm seeing two people on here that every time you talk there smiling from ear to hear and they're doing it now, what does it mean?

To have your people behind you on this journey is you're getting close to being drafted.

Yeah, having my family members next to me, especially my mom and my dad and my brother, uh, coming through me every step of the way.

It's a great feeling.

And it's an amazing feeling while and then be happy.

And me going through this journey and doing something I wanted to do since I was young and my dad be in a basketball player like seeing seeing the smiles on on my mom and dad's face make me make me play.

Uh, we'll work hard, even harder every single day because I love to see that happen.

E Congratulations to you, Mom and Dad.

Congratulations to you.

Thank you.

Okay.

Chris.

Fedor.

Hey, Obie.

Thanks for doing this, man.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

So I'm here in Cleveland.

I covered the Cavs.

The workout that you had with them a couple of weeks ago.

How do you feel?

Like that went.

And what are your impressions of the organization and you're fit there.

I feel like it went really well.

Um, sorry.

Excuse me.

Uh, I feel like I did a lot of things to show them that I can I can spread the floor.

I can work inside.

I can guard, uh, different positions like I was ableto show a lot of different things and show my athleticism showed I can shoot the ball like I was able to show all those, uh, those things toe help them in their decision, and I feel like meeting with them over Zoom to for the interview.

I feel like that.

That went really well.

Um, I went to date in, and they're they're in Ohio, so it's like going going to Cleveland will be will be cool, and especially having a fan base at that date.

And that I had a day and it would be amazing to so thank you.

Thanks.

We have been for two more questions.

Dwayne.

Ranking Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Obey What?

First of all, congrats on getting getting to this point.

But secondly, I was curious.

Who else have you worked out for besides Cleveland?

Eso I worked out with Cleveland.

Uh, Minnesota, Um, the Knicks and the Hornets.

Okay.

When you when you look at those when you're in that situation, how are you controlling the nerves?

You wanna do well?

But then it's like, Hey, I'm in this environment where I'm trying to impress people.

How did how did you fight that within the toe.

To be confident and fight off.

Maybe it's maybe some nerves you might have had in those workouts.

I'm being honest with you.

I don't I don't really feel nervous during the work.

I was just because, like, I'm being myself like, I feel like being myself helps me out through helps me through any workout.

And that's just like playing in the games that dating like having 15,000 at every home game at at the University of Dating.

Like like I would say, I'll be more nervous to go into there like a couple.

I's comin from from an MBA team and watching me work out things that I've been doing the past eight months, like I didn't change anything in my work.

I literally showed them everything that I've been working on for the past eight months.

It's just something like I've been doing my whole life and and having the opportunity for those guys to be in there and watch me is just a blessing.

And I don't feel nervous when they come into Jim.

I'm just doing what I do best and doing what I love.
