Three you know have have a different land on you guys differently than than they do on my children but yeah we’re doing that I mean you know Barclays it’s our local it’s our local uh you know yeah barlay is close for you um Jason S

He was a heck of a high school player he’s coming out on fire folks s oh my goodness four threes 14 points I mean the power of editing speaks for itself speaks for itself what was I was so nervous that going up there so nervous I because that especially that

One that was like in 2013 I want to say or 2012 and I hadn’t played in months and and sue you and I talked about that like we haven’t shot in a long time like that first game back it could just it could it could be uh crazy and I was

Certain I was going to end up being a gift of some sort like getting my ankles broken you know throwing a pass like in like a referee’s head or something something stupid and lo and behold it became that you know hitting that first three-pointer off the glass from the top

Of the key I was like okay here we go well since you’ve been working out with Stewie a lot and you’re a huge Nicks fan when you watch J Brunson out there are you like that could be me with the Lefty I you know I um yeah you’re like that’s high that’s high

Praise that’s High Praise I feel like I feel like um you know maybe if I if I got my my hair you know all twisted up like I used to do an English class to you know drive my teachers crazy um then maybe you would probably have a tough time

Distinguishing our games but just just hair styles Alone um sets us apart yeah no so you’ve said it so if you played in the NBA it’d be a Jaylen Brunson tip um it must be the Lefty thing but I don’t know I kind of see your game I’m like who could your game

Be would you want to be just like a shooter off screens you want the ball in your hands like what are we feeling no I always love Jason Williams I love point guards I love pass first point guards oh I will say when we were when we were at

Thing what would you be saying to the Bucks they they they took like an 11 11 Point deficit they’ve now cut it to seven how would you be getting in their psyche right now oh how how would I get in there if I was coaching them mhm coaching the buck

Yeah yeah yeah I would say I would say you know one stop at a time one bucket at a time two points every bucket unless behind the line unless that line is the free throw line then it’s only one point you know I just break it down the simp

You know just like the simple back to n Smith’s rules I just go through n Smith’s you know just get a real specific remember that’s where dribble the ball keep your eyes open gentlemen we got to have our eyes open you know if one of the fellas with the whistle says something yeah
