The funny thing about it, though, is that early in the season, Joe came and talked to us in the media and we were asking questions. I think it was after you posted the step Brothers post on on your Instagram, and we were like asking Joe about your guys relationship, and he was like, I didn't even know they were that tight. I don't know if that was like Joe being like dead panting to us, because he does that a lot. But for sure, it's funny that he's the one that came up with the name that now everyone is calling you guys.

And like I remember getting in the car and I'm like, it's cold outside. I'm as like, is the car? Is it going to start? So it gives me that look like yeah, like it's going to start, but it's like an unsure yeah, And like he turns the car, he puts the key in and he turns it and it comes on, and he's like, yes, I got that.

But the reason the cookies and cream actually got dropped publicly, which has now turned into a wallpaper that I don't know if you guys saw that on the Celtics handle. They've made a wallpaper if you guys with cookies and cream. But the reason it got out there is because you retweeted a or you quote tweeted a highlight reel of just you guys on the court.

Highlights of you guys on the court.

Highlights of you guys on the court.

It's almost three minutes long, the highlight reel of just you two already this season. So how has the off the court relationship actually translated into the success that you guys have felt together. I mean, I just feel like the connection that behind the back passes the back cuts, like it's like you guys know each other are going to be at all times.

I think our games really just compliment each other, Like, you know, him being a great shooter and then also a lob threat puts teams in a difficult position, especially when I'm trying to get downhill, because it just makes the reader either easy. You know, I could throw it up if you step up, or if he pops and I'm just hitting him on the pop and then I can just hit him every time. And at that big if he's there, he doesn't kind of know what to do. Do I stop Jalen from getting downhill? Or do I rotate to KP who's just hit three threes in the rows? Like, it's a difficult position to be in, especially if we're playing with pace and where we got it Roland. So I think our games just kind of compliment each other. So, you know, I think it's been a great fit.

But how much easier does it make it when you do.

But how much easier does it make it when you do.

I think it helps us in terms of like being able to communicate with each other, say things to each other and not take it personally because we're cool off the court also, you know, and that way you can like kind of push each other and tell each other things maybe that are not you know, things you would say to somebody that you're not as close to, you know, on the court. You can, and I think that's where that's where we have that advantage, you know, because of our relationship off the court and obviously, as he said, we just match on the court and try to look for each other, and it's honestly, it just kind of happens. Happened off the court and on the court like supernaturally.

But you know, over the course of your life you play a lot of yeah, you games and teams, but not KP definitely ranks at the very top. Just chemistry. Just in year one, like we haven't been playing together for a full year yet and you already see how many like highlights and points and that we've been able to generate.

Jalen, for you this season, and we've talked a lot about trying to step up into that leadership role, I feel like it's not just the connection with KP either, it's kind of taking some of the other new guys under your wing and how much of that is important to you And are you seeing the results on the floor.

Yeah for sure. And people get mad at me, but like you know, as a part of like being a leader is trying to get your guys involved so that means each and every night. That doesn't mean I have to score or look to score the ball every single night, you know. And obviously, you know, everybody wants you to come out and drop thirty points a game and everybody be happy. But at the same time, making sure Sam gets shots, making sure Peyton, finding our guys, playing through them, you know, gives them the rhythm and the confidence that we need going for getting him rolling, because when he scores, you know, he's feeling good. He's blocking shots, he's hitting threes.

So sometimes I've you know, you know, trying to find a balance of being aggressive myself but also understanding seeing the game and knowing that, like I need the teammates around me to be the best version of themselves. And that means if they're watching me just scoring the ball, that you know that they're not getting the game experience that I need them to have.
