Oh wow, that's tough. Well, AAU was a big, big deal. The AAU circuit was huge for my age and even now coming up in basketball. But I think that I had my first AAU like big, big tournament showcase in Houston. It was a tournament called the Kingwood Classic and it was huge. Teams from all over the nation came out and played in this tournament in like the outskirts of Houston, and I had a really good game. One game, I had a really nice dunk, and that weekend I got a ton of scholarship offers, and throughout the rest of that weekend a lot of college coaches who were big Hall of Fame coaches came to see me play. And after that summer it was all up for me.

And after that summer it was all up for me.

It was great, I'm sure. And you know, in that AU tournament or just an AU tournaments in general, for you, can you tell us a story about maybe playing against another future NBA star?

It was great, I'm sure. And you know, in that AU tournament or just an AU tournaments in general, for you, can you tell us a story about maybe playing against another future NBA star?

Oh? Yeah, there. The summer circuits are insane. You play against guys, and especially in my class, against guys like Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, Derrick Rose, Oj Mayo, Eric Gordon, who was we got drafted together to the Clipper. So I played against all those guys in high school. But I will probably say, uh, I was most excited to play against a guy like Kevin Love because we played the same position. We were in the same high school graduating class, so playing against him in the summertime at these different camps and tournaments was was really really cool. And to say that we're still in the NBA now was a great experience.

Yeah, that's so special, And what are your thoughts? I know, like, to me, Cooper, flag reclassing and just geting a year of high school is so interesting, and I feel like it's not I mean, it's something we've seen before, right, but for someone to be that dominant that he's like, I don't even need that year of development. Was that ever something that you would have considered or what are your thoughts on that happening now?

Yeah, that's so special, And what are your thoughts?

Was that ever something that you would have considered or what are your thoughts on that happening now?

Well? I think, I mean, if you're talented enough and you're physically and mentally ready to take that next step, I think why not. However, I think for me coming up, I obviously wanted to get to the NBA, but I've definitely needed that development, those four years of high school, that one year of college. I look back and I'm very appreciative and grateful that I got to go to college for a year and had that college experience with teammates, with friends who I still talk to this day, and I just overall I've needed that development to be able to get to the next level and be somewhere ready to play against these adults.

Yeah, and speaking you know of those adults at sixteen, did you have any relationships with guys already in the league or were they foreign to you? Like, were they really just gods?

Yeah, and speaking you know of those adults at sixteen, did you have any relationships with guys already in the league or were they foreign to you? Like, were they really just gods?

They were foreign to me? They were definitely foreign to me. I remember at a certain time it switched for me having a favorite team and I just went to having favorite players because I didn't want to pick a favorite team and not be drafted to that team or just like you know, like a connection and it'd be disappointment later in the draft. But I think that like seeing the guys that I looked up to and they're finally being able to play against them did something for my confidence and for me as a player.

And then you know now that we're I want to move on a little bit to your NBA career not being sixteen anymore. What was it like seeing those guys that you thought of as gods now as like your equals.

And then you know now that we're I want to move on a little bit to your NBA career not being sixteen anymore. What was it like seeing those guys that you thought of as gods now as like your equals.

It was a shock, I will say that to be able to you know, aize guys like Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O'Neill, trying to think who else like Shack, Guys like that, and then actually be like Lebron seeing him in high school, Carmelo Anthony, Guys like that and then to be able to play against them and be like, wow, this is not just I'm looking at this person's highlights, like this is happening in real life, game time situation. So it was. It was shocking at first, but then after a while you kind of have to go into a okay, like I can't look at it that way. I have to focus on competing against this person, you know, to lock in. Yeah, you have to lock in. And it was an adjustment, but a good one. Yeah.

I have to focus on competing against this person, you know, to lock in. Yeah, you have to lock in. And it was an adjustment, but a good one. Yeah.

I mean, of course I'm not like a six ' ten basketball I can relate that a little bit because well, yeah, you know, we never know, maybe something crazy will happen. But I can definitely relate to that because what I always say is that I think, like, I've been so lucky to make relationships, you know, with people like you and be able to talk to these amazing athletes, and whenever I see an NBA player on the court, my whole perception change. Yeah, Like, you know, I interviewed I interviewed Chris Paul in a in a classroom at UCLA, and in that moment I felt so comfortable. I was like I got this whatever, And then I saw him on the court and I was like, who is that? God? You know, like there's such like a thing about seeing you guys suited up on the court that's so special. But having that perception and then being like, oh wait, that's also me. It's probably I don't even know how how you could deal with that, you.

It's probably I don't even know how how you could deal with that, you.

Know, Yeah, it's insane. There's definitely a like an on and off switch or like it's almost like two different worlds, you know, to be able to have that separation of this is me off the court, chill, no, kind of and you know, like intensity, I'm just relaxed. But then on the court it's a totally different thing because the competition aspect kicks in and you know, sports they take you through so many different emotions and you see guys the physicality of the game, the intensity of the game, the seriousness of the game at times, and people have it's almost like doctor Jaco, mister High, like people have multiple personalities on and off the floor, which I think is good for us to have.

Some balance for sure. So speaking of you know, your time in the league, what was your welcome to the league moment?

Some balance for sure. So speaking of you know, your time in the league, what was your welcome to the league moment?

Oh? Wow, I think that I was in the weight room as a rookie. This is one of I've had plenty of these because I came into the league at nineteen. But like I was saying earlier, like Dirk was one of my favorite players coming up also, and we were playing against the Mavericks and I was a young player. I wasn't really playing a lot and we were in the weight room. I was doing like some lyfts little Cardio before the game, as all rookies do, and I saw dirt into our weight room and I was kind of like freaking out. I was like, oh my god, Wow, it's dirt. It's it's him and our our weight uh cardio and strength guy. At times, like I don't care who it is. You got to finish your weights, and I was kind of like, oh sorry, I forgot, And it was it was just that moment made me realize, like, this is this is my job, and you got to be focused on your task at hand. Even though that this person is somebody who you may have looked up to for a long time, You're still competing against this guy. And it was definitely welcomed me for sure.

For sure. And do you think you've ever had an experience sort of the opposite of that where someone came up to you and asked for your autograph, and you were like, you're asking me for my autograph? Like, look at you?

You know? Uh, Yeah, I've had I've had a couple of those moments. Just being able to play against your peers and people who respect what you bring to the game. I think is it's huge, you know.

You know? Uh, Yeah, I've had I've had a couple of those moments. Just being able to play against your peers and people who respect what you bring to the game. I think is it's huge, you know.

I just I can't think of one person who I was kind of like, wow, But I always tell this story. I do believe that we played against the Lakers one time as when I was a rookie and Kobe had some really great words to say to me after the game, which really really stuck with me throughout my career.

And then one more, let's go with only because we played him tomorrow and I think he's a really good player, but he's not like he's one of their best players. I'm gonna go Shay. I think it's of course, yeah, like he's tough.

And then one more, let's go with only because we played him tomorrow and I think he's a really good player, but he's not like he's one of their best players. I'm gonna go Shay. I think it's of course, yeah, like he's tough.

SHA's the type of guy that this this segment could also be called takes hotter than Alexander. It's true. My fantasy backstall team is called Sloan gilligas Alexander, and you have to make an abbreviation, so it's.

Just s g A.

Because like, what specifically about Shay would you say you think makes him really that good? Because he went from being I mean, you know, he he's always been good, but last year he really took off what do you think it was about him that that allowed him to have that jump.

Well, one, I think for sure, like maturity, being able to you know, go from when he was with the Clippers. He was kind of you know coming into his own and trying to figure out what kind of player he was going to be to come into OKC and you know, learning with Chris quite a bit and then coming into his own as a player and like you know taking over this team. And I think that that was that was pretty cool to see. But for one, you know, he's a big guard. You know, he's not short, he's tall, He gets spot, his mid range is crazy. He shoots over people. He's one of the best like reject guys in the league. So he he gets to the foul on So he he's a very very tough guard. And I think that he will continue to develop and you know be tougher for a lot of teams for for years to come.

Yeah, I mean this definitely connects to you and to Shay. The Clippers draft some really talented guys, and I think a lot of them don't get their opportunities to thrive on the Clippers, especially right now, because of how you know, Star heavy the Clippers are and a guy that I've always thought that if he got the right opportunity, could be similar to Shae is Brandon Boston Junior. I really think that he's extremely talented, and we've seen that with the Ontario Clippers. He's really proven that he's a really, really talented guy. And I think it's interesting to see what would happen to someone like him who was in a similar position to Shay if he was traded to his team like the Spurs or the Rockets.

Yeah, I see that because Brandon is you know, he's he's tall, he's skilled, he's athletic, he can score the basket really well. But I also think that you know, with that comes you know a time where you can learn from guys like PG Kawhi to where when it's when it is your time to either you know, step up and take a bigger role with the team that's're on, or if you get moved or you decide to move on to a different team, that you're ready to be able to take on those responsibilities. So I do think that he is getting everything that he needs to get at this time and then when when the time is right for him to excel. I think that that will happen, Like, uh, it's hard for guys who are extremely talented to not be talented in this league. Like you'll get that opportunity, I believe. Yeah.

And so you know, right now, I'm in tenth grade, sixteen, and I'm starting to think about college, which is a little bit stressful. I'm going to be honest with you, and I wanted to know. I feel like you're sort of a master of this college spectrum because, as we all know, you went to Texas A and M for one year. But then I also heard a little rumor that right now you're studying at Brown, two very different places. So I'm curious to know which school would you suggest, you know, like, what do you think the juxtaposition is between those two places?

So I'm curious to know which school would you suggest, you know, like, what do you think the juxtaposition is between those two places?

Oh? That is that is tough. You know, I haven't really seen a lot of Brown's sports programs up close, so I will say that, you know, my time at Texas and then was awesome. And I think for that period of time that I was in as a as a person, as a player trying to get to the goal that I was trying to get to, it was perfect for me at that time. But now that I'm older and I've matured quite a bit. I think that being at Brown is something that is amazing for me, and I'm very grateful to be at this university with these fantastic and amazing professors and my peers that I'm able to learn and discuss and debate things with on a daily basis, and classmates that I consider friends at this point in time, and I think that it's it's great to be able to have those relationships and and do it at a time where I didn't think I was going to ever go back to school.

Yeah, well, before we move on, I just want to clarify you'll get me that letter of reck right to Brown, right question for me?

Yeah, well, before we move on, I just want to clarify you'll get me that letter of reck right to Brown, right question for me?

Okay, thank you.

Okay, thank you.

I just want to make sure, like before we move on, I got that down. Okay, cool, thank you, thank you.

I just want to make sure, like before we move on, I got that down. Okay, cool, thank you, thank you.

Whatever you need.

Whatever you need.

I want to move on to this. So Wemby, let's talk about Wenby. Right. It's been a few games for Wemby so far, and he's he's he has been special. I I it's been a pleasure for me to watch. I've never seen a more dominant person in my life. It's really so cool. And I want to know as someone who's also pretty tall and big. Are you going to try to dunk on Wemby? And if so, how would you approach that?

And if so, how would you approach that?

I think at this part of my career, like I've I've had a lot of dunks, and like why not. I'm sure he's gonna try to block everything that comes into the pain. He's gonna try to dunk on everybody. So I think when you as a competitor, like you're definitely gonna try to do these things because he's gonna try to do these things too. So it's it's something that you can't go up against a guy that big, who is you know, playing some great basketball this time he has a great I feel like, you know, knack for the ball. His timing is really good. So with him, you got to go to the basket aggressively. If not, like.

It'll get Yeah. The other day I was watching Rocket Spurs and Javari Smith Junior went up for the poster. He gets denied by Wemby and tries to do it again, and I'm like, what are you doing? You are getting yourself done something you do not want to be in. Like you're gonna be on House of Highlights not once, but twice and you know, that's his way of being like, look at me, I want to get on House of Highlights. That's fine, but I feel like he should try to get on House of Highlights for another reason than getting destroyed by Wemby multiplely.

I did like the way he puts to the basket aggressively. So I did like the first attempt that he had though, because at that point.

You know, we've given some shout outs to SGA, to Wemby, the Brandon Boston Junior, and I want to continue doing that. So my next segment doesn't really have a name, but the idea of it is all positivity. I'm a teenage girl and I'm trying to bring a fresh perspective to the NBA world, which unfortunately so much of media of the media is so negative. You know, So I would like to highlight five special players that you have played with before, and I would like you to, like, you know, give a little compliment to your guys. Okay, so let's start off with Blake Griffin.

Yeah, And does he like basketball? Like, I'm confused. Does he like basketball? Does he not? I'm confused with what's going on.

Listen, I hear this quite a bit. And I uh, I think that it's okay to be able to have an off button from basketball at times. You know, basketball is what we do, is not who we are. And I think that having other hobbies can help you stay sae throughout your career in the NBA. So, you know, if he likes to not pick up a basketball for a month or two, if he wants to ride horses, if he you know, if like, that's fine as long as you know. But I mean, I think that you know, even when he does take a break from basketball, he comes back and it's like he hasn't taken a break from basketball. So I think that he's he's just fine.

Of course, of course, does he say sorry like in the Canadian way? Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, No, Jamal I think is one of the most relentless guys I've been around. Obviously, he went through a very very tough injury during a tough time, and he fought his butt off to get back and you know, led us to win a championship last summer. And just his fight alone and the type of mindset he had to get back, like that's that was awesome.

Yeah, for sure. And I want to move on to another guy on the Nuggets that I every time I watched either the Nuggets play or the Clippers play, I always saw this guy and I was like, I feel like no one talks about how good he really is.

Yeah, Reggie's good man. Reggie has been doing great things in this league for a long time. Back when he was with OKCE and Detroit. He he you know, with the Clippers, he did a really really good job. And I think that you know, to be able to play in different spots in this league, whether it's coming off the bench, being a starter, and being one of the main guys to coming off the be again, his value is so big for what he does for multiple units, and it's really great to have him back this year with us.

Yes, I think that he his ceiling is really really high. He is extremely athletic, He has a knack for blcking shots, getting steals, and he can also score the basketball too. But I think right now his focus is energy and defending and doing anything he can to be on the floor, And just his growth within the past year has been amazing. And he has guys like you know KCP, who is a great defender and a great shooter to kind of learn from and like pick his brain about different things. And him and Michael Porter Junior have Michael Porter Junior is one of the best shooters we have in this league. They have shooting competitions after practice, so just you know, guys like that, he's able to kind of feed off of and and learn from Uh, it's gonna it's gonna take him high.

Yeah, and I feel like, you know, correct me if I'm wrong, But it seems almost that that sort of family connection that all those guys have is the key to winning the chip, you know, is like all you guys seem so close, and the fact that those players are wanting to enable to really mentor younger guys like Peyton shows, at least to me from the outside, why you guys are so special.
