just to see him doing what he’s doing now it’s like hey bro good for him right okay this what it is okay knowing what you know there’s not a lot of players that have been coached by Two Goats that’s true one goat two goat Nick Sabin bill bich yeah from knowing what you know now obviously you had longer tenure with one than the other yeah what’s the difference what’s the the similarities who’s the overall goat yeah I mean obviously they’re very close friends right so they’ve been together they call defense together like it’s the same defense we went against every OTA but I don’t know they’re they’re different in their own way Sav is very detailed very OCD Bel is very like what do we have to do to win this game you know how it is you got to throw this many completions got to do this got to do that but um blessing to play for both of them and my high school coach was a great coach and so I played for three so man listen that’s where I’m at mac and cheese if you haven’t heard me tell you this once twice or three times I rooting for you bro killing it good to see you dude okay well I’ll say that all right guys welcome back to our set that remember when I said that Cam Newton is going to come with you know the the real tea on the red carpet that’s exactly what he just got out hey man that’s you know he’s asking ma some questions you know probably better if he asked exactly might might get might get a better answer about that yeah exactly exactly so glad he asked that question um great okay so we are now going to present the best WNBA player presented by AT&T yeah we told you we had some awards on the show let’s take a look at the nominees really fast before we announce the winner which is currently in my hand so the nominees are no surprise here we got nefisa klier yes of the Minnesota links Brianna Stewart of the New York Liberty Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut sun and Asia Wilson there they are yes right here let’s take a look at these beautiful faces that’s a great group yeah I was going to say four very worthy nominees I mean truly um and I mean even it’s been so funny you know we talk about the WNBA getting more attention it’s been so funny watching how many people realize Alyssa Thomas not only is she great and was the MVP she’s playing with two torn rotator cuffs isn’t that crazy people don’t listen it’s funny if you haven’t been watching The W for a long time obviously you you may not know this but talking to ATS people she’s like y’all always talking about my cut but people don’t know right right especially with all the new eyes you have to cuz people are like hey like why free throw form and because she’s playing with two exactly which is incredible honestly and is worthy of its own award also great watching the fisa as we as we mentioned Ste we on that list as well Asia Wilson all very worthy nominees but only one can win so let’s take a look at the winner right now Harry I need another drum roll please is that a good drum roll is there a better way I could do that uh if you had actual drums the winner is Asia Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces hard to argue that one yeah yeah I I I know we were trying to make it a a Stewie Asia Wilson thing you know over the last few years of course yeah it is I think clearcut at this point um obviously this is for a lot of her accolades in the last year right uh I would be shocked if she and not to get ahead of ourselves here I would be shocked if she doesn’t win this award next year yeah I mean she is just so talented put up 24 and 20 last night yeah it’s insane um watching what Asia has done obviously we talk about what she’s done on the basketball court but even the impact that she’s made outside of it she’s been one of the faces of the league for a very long time so it’s great to see her get that recognition as you mentioned we talked about it’s been Asia and Stewie back and forth so good to see her finally get that recognition here on at thesp uh now as we know one of the goats AIA Wilson one of the goats one of the other goats Serena Williams now she’s hosting hosting the S tonight as we’ve mentioned aside from obviously dominating the red carpet she dominated tennis for two decades uh take a look at this excerpt from ESPN plus Serena inside the arena it would be the best story not only in tennis but maybe in sports raise your hands we were just two young black girls playing in Compton this is not normally how that story goes I look different I played different I was more emotional I was better I was Stronger I had muscle that was something that no one had ever seen before ever she just yeah she just was on that she was on that they just got footage from her on the S review man report love and we have the young and in charge Bryce youngan my boy how we doing I’m doing amazing sir how’s Charlotte treating you bro good good it’s been great being out there love the city love the environment so I I love that I want to hear from the hores mouth himself obviously what you’ve been able to do in college and and your whole resume as a football player is nothing less than amazing how do you get Carolina to that same frequency of winning championships um I think it takes everyone uh accountability uh from all of us from myself first and foremost um and then us all having that mindset um I think we just um you know day by day making sure that we’re holding ourselves to a high standard um it’s a bit of a new team now new roster so forming that identity creating that standard for ourselves and then day in and day out making sure we’re pushing ourselves to reach it um it’ll be a process but I’m really excited to do that former number one pick of the draft I mean Bryce as you’ve seen this league to be it turns over like steep do you dig what I’m saying what have you learned in your first year that you probably didn’t know this time last year going into the league yeah uh the movement how much you know how much people are going in and out of the building how much things are changing that’s something that’s obviously different from the levels before that um and then really i’ I’d say just how important it is to to Value those those reps you get those walkthroughs all that stuff you know college it’s you going you know you going to practice a new play a new three four times you going get routes versus scout team the whole thing you know you know how it is we get a lot less reps so having that urgency especially early on making sure we’re on the same page we have an identity and creating that making sure we take advantage of the limited reps we get that’s something I’m definitely going to lean into now this is the thing that I do know I mean I’ve talked to a lot of people here but this conversation is a little different I know what you’re going through I’ve been where you are the frustration and even yearning for the success right the city of Charlotte the Carolinas as a whole when they see you what is something that you want them to know from the horses I just want them to know that I’m I’m giving my all we as a team as a organiz we’re giving our all um again I get it being a sports fan being whatever it is I appreciate how passionate of a city of the Carol of the states that the Carolinas are I’m I’m grateful for that I love being a part of that we all we we don’t want anything worse than than one to win we we all want to do we’re doing whatever it takes we’re putting the work and we’re continue to do that so we appreciate the passion we love it and I just want everyone in the Carolines know we’re

right here drum roll please see it thank you very much thank you very much and the winner for best college athlete women’s sports presented by Athleta is Kaylin Clark ladies and gentlemen surprised there probably it it blows me away I had no idea that it would plug I had no idea that all those records would just she’s honestly a real Underdog yeah I know I’m I’m very surprised I mean honestly uh Caitlin claric has done so much not only for women’s college basketball obviously what she’s doing in the WNBA but just women’s sports in general so she’s been huge for the entirety of everything that we’ve seen on the women’s side of the game what I love about her is that she is causing so many discussions around the women’s game just however you feel about it whatever side you’re on about it you’re talking about it and that’s what we’ve always wanted to scale up there’s going to be discussion there’s going to be controversy there’s going to be people with opinions and that’s exactly what we want Caitlyn does that and she’s great at basketball too yeah for sure it’s great to watch her yeah she’s all right I get to see Caitlyn by the way on Sunday when the Minnesota links play the fever I’ll be on the sideline so you’re going to want to watch that Athleta is proud to sponsor the best college athlete women sports ESP to Spotlight a Powerhouse athlete who is changing the game and inspiring others oh you already know who it is Jaden Daniels I mean what can we expect from from you in this upcoming season for Washington man I just say somebody is going to give it his all and have fun playing football at the end of the day ain’t really ain’t really too much man I can’t say what the wins and losses going to be but I just know I’m going to get my all what are you looking forward to most playing the games playing against some of my friends that I grew up against competing against the best all so I can go out there and prove that I’m one of the best well I’ll tell you this on camera it’s not the speed of the game it’s the coverage of the game it’s the little things behind the scenes it’s preparation for the game it may not necessarily be the LSU audience and the stage that you’re used to seeing but it gets there preseason is just for mental reps yeah the first part of the Season you’ll get like a rush but one thing I do know about the NFL you’re going to play 18 games or 17 games regardless yeah and you have to keep that same energy when you’re 1 and0 6 and0 or you’re 0 and6 or 0 and 17 because like I would always hear a coach say you are what your film says you are not who you think you are that’s real keep rocking and roll that’s [Music] real you Jaden Daniels obviously up for ANB tonight we’ll see if he will win what we got about I don’t know math what is it 39 minutes don’t look at me you have the of Mi education and Clemson by the way in case you didn’t know Miami and Clemson yeah um so we’ll see if he’s able to win his SV later tonight great to see him you know uh we’ve been looking at some of the things that people are wearing out here today yeah anybody that stood out to you at all I mean you wow can we can we put the what a coost I guess we can’t put the hood up tell why look at my Instagram right it’s but still it’s worth emphasizing again Exquisite what is it giving what is it giving you know Flawless some people are like some people are like it’s giving Star Wars some people it’s giving like honestly it’s like to me it is like red carpet bold and classy honestly gosh thank you Harry you know cuz not everybody can pull that off I think if I came out here in a hood uh I might run into some problems yeah like you be swea and you’re already sweating enough I feel like the hood would would kind of make that thing go a little bit more okay so there’s so many awards being given out tonight we’ve obviously given out some awards on our show ourselves let’s take about let’s talk about one of the awards that we’re going to see uh best breakthrough athletes where I mean we’ve seen so many record-breaking performances so many people that have just come on the scene that maybe we didn’t know about before uh the nominees for this we talked to one of them already today Haley Bryant is there CJ stoud had an amazing rookie season to say the least Juju Watkins also another another to talk to her we just saw her walk by on the red carpet unfortunately we didn’t get her she kind of slid on through quickness exactly exactly she already knows she already knows what it is so that out here and of course Victor when Bama I mean you really can’t go wrong with any of these options okay I’m I would pick CJ shroud you would I would why I think what he did he he surpassed literally anybody’s expectation in him everybody was so locked in understandably on Bryce young which you know I think he’s also going to have a monster sophomore season CJ though truly came through this past year and showed everybody not just hey like we’re going to be good immediately they are a team that people have been talking about as an AFC Contender so CJ he gets M off okay so that’s who you got as the winner obviously he’s done a lot oh Amina Smith okay I see you girl out there on the red carpet um obviously he’s done a lot like you mentioned for that team and he exceeded expectations and the team exceeded expectations because of what he was able to do on the football field I do want to shout out though as I as I just mentioned we just saw Juju walk by us Juju Watkins dropped 51 you guys yes 51 as a rookie that’s crazy that’s crazy she she really hasn’t even scratched surf yeah exactly yeah and for everybody that was wondering hey like you know is is women’s college basketball still going to have momentum once cait and Clark leaves um extremely that’s exactly what I was about to say extremely because the game the women’s college basketball game maram having a good time back there yeah markram obviously like at the top of his lungs per usual I feel like we’re used to that and he’s in velvet oh no I’m sorry I thought that was crush velvet it’s paisley print um anyways uh we’ve seen what Caitlyn Clark has brought to the women’s game we’ve seen obviously the question has paig Beckers is obviously returning to Yukon and the question has been is there going to be a star that’s going to take the next the next uh the next place where Superstar level T cuz it’s it’s hard to contain and maintain that level of basketball play so Juju Watkins certainly going to fill that Bo for sure and USC added pieces they’re going to be really really dang good next year I mean they were great this past year and obviously Wy was on that list look I I know we’re just now mentioning him I I mean come on right I mean breakthrough athlete like absolutely um had to had to give some of the other guys love too W be future Hall of Famer for sure uh great to see him obviously play in the League this year we’ll see what he does moving forward now speaking of a guy well I was going to say a guy that has things ahead of him things that we haven’t seen we’ve seen Drew Brees on the football field he retired let’s see what he has with Cam Newton here with the legend Drew Brees when I was playing it was something about the NFC South that it wasn’t an off week I had Drew Brees one week Matt Ryan the next week proba probably the way this the the schedule was set up I probably had Drew another one depending on what it is NFC South Champs Super Bowl winner Drew how we doing bro I’m doing great I see you everywhere really yes yes media you you’re you’re you’re becoming a media mogal now I’m Mogul I would not say that but I got a lot of flack from this past year of the analogy Game Changer versus game manager you obviously was a game changer giving so much opportunity I just had a guy Bryce young Bryce would not have been even looked at without the likes of yourself i’ i’ I’ve witnessed from across the field this man carve up a defense like a Thanksgiving turkey I mean the preparation and going into it you’ve heard too small you’ve heard arm strength you’ve heard these things all your life how did you do it well see I I had guys to look up to when I came out like Doug fluty and others that probably got overlooked probably got they had to earn it each and every year because maybe they didn’t have the measurables or some of the tangibles or the Prototype uh you know traits that a lot of guys were looking for so look I you see a league now full of guys like Russell Wilson or Bryce Young or others who aren’t your prototypical guys like yourself but uh but at the end of the day playing the position is so much about here and here for sure um and I think we do incredible things with offensive football now and a lot of the college game I think has bled over to NFL where we’re able to take offenses and totally gear them around the strengths that the quarterback you know comes in with and and I think that’s given guys a lot of opportunities that they might not have otherwise had so my last question I always get asked how do you look at the game now and when you’re looking at the game of football who’s your favorite player to watch man I I love I love watching offensive football I mean I I I’ll just I’ll just Monday morning I’ll wake up and I’ll just pull up games or drives that I want to watch of course I love watching momes I love watching certain offenses I love the Dolphins offense uh I love the the Niners offense um of course I watch My Old Coach sea Payton right I see what the Saints are doing um CJ shroud is probably one of my favorite young qu quarterbacks to watch I watched him a lot last year so and and look we just have six draft picks in the top 12 picks of which a lot of those guys are probably going to start or get significant play in time so it’s going to be a fun year so I person this is my last I really mean this but as a person who doubted critics or proved critics wrong all their life with a different sport what would you give words of advice to bronie James well bronny James needs to be bronny James and not his his father right um he’s he he’s his own man and while he he’s taken everything that he’s been taught and and certainly the kind of the advice and guidance of his dad at the end of the day I think he has to be able just to kind of create his own path and I hope that others give him that opportunity as well um look his dad’s going down as one of the top three players of all time right and deservedly so but uh bronny James just need needs to be given the opportunity to be himself say less what there you have it here Super Bowl winner everything else multiple record holder Drew Brees ladies and [Music] gentlemen thank you so much Cam I mean the people are out here I don’t know who who paid these people or what they’re doing but they’re cheering for all the people walking on the red carpet I mean it makes sense it’s all the best we do next year it needs to be like a live show with people behind us just screaming our names all day that’ be great it be beautiful um okay so we have Cam Newton standing by with somebody else who’s the future possibly just like bronnie of basketball so we’re here with Cooper flag cop how we doing bro I’m good I’m excited to be here uh great atmosphere great environment so I’m excited who are you most excited to see um I’m not sure to be H I’m just excited to see it all you know get his experience for the first time so I’m seeing the threepiece you know what I’m saying black on black on black

and you know personal to himself and he really expressed himself so I like that so obviously it’s been a lot of Buzz around bronnie dig what I’m saying do you think he’s going to have success what’s your thought process on that yeah Manan I think he’s a great player uh they wouldn’t have picked him if he wasn’t and you know I think he has what it takes he has a good work ethic so I’m going to see

seen how the SPs has grown you guys have grown you’re just talking a little bit ago about being mom so how is it just having this full circle moment for you guys yeah it’s incredible I mean it’s such a special time for women’s sports and um we’ve been been in the game for a long time so to see all of this take place it’s it’s really cool no it’s amazing and um you know everybody thinks that women’s sports this is a moment I feel like this is momentum and it’s been super special to be a part of women’s sports with a friend and to see how much Allison has accomplished and just what this next generation of of young athletes are doing yeah it’s been very beautiful to watch so you guys are presenting on behalf of Nissan the sp sp for best athlete women’s sport so let’s take a look really quickly at the nominees that are in this category of course there’s no surprise at all that Kaitlin Clark is here we got Coco golf also no surprise Nelly Corda no surprise in Asia Wilson also all in this category what impresses you the most about this group I mean everyone is so dominant you know and I think you have such a range here and everyone’s just been killing it I mean I’m I don’t think I’m shocked at all I’m not shocked at this list at all I think that this is both the present and the future of women’s sports and I mean I I feel bad for people having to choose between that group because uh it’s super special and you mentioned this not being a moment and we look at that group and I mean that is a phenomenal group a group that I think in terms of recognition on a national scale you see more how have you seen women’s sports grow over the last few years to where again this is not a moment that this is something that is going to be sticking around well I think where you see the the growth in women’s sports is not necessarily in the skill level but in the conversation around it we’re seeing more and more turning on ESPN and them talking about women’s sports and talking about matchups and games and rivalries and Records being broken and so now more eyeballs are witnessing the greatness that has been going on on the track on the field um on the basketball court so I think it’s super special to see now people are catching up to how great it has been because we’ve been yelling it from yeah for sure uh you mentioned Candace the fact that you guys have been here for 20 years this is the 32nd SB it’s kind of crazy to think about Serena is only the fourth woman to host this award show uh only the second mom to host this award show and Allison I know you’ve had an impact on the Olympic Village introducing a nursery what exactly how what went into that and why of course did you want that to happen yeah I mean just you know coming back to competition with my daughter um I knew it was really challenging and and Candace really you know paved the way you know a long time ago she told me that it was hard um so it’s just about how can we support I think there are a lot of ways that we can step up and make things easier because we know that women are just as capable after they have children and I think we need to be able to help them have those amazing performances long after and speaking of amazing performances candid I don’t mean to bring up angel Reese breaking your double doubl record it’s just a statement of fact but with that said what have you seen out of her and also this rookie class that has obviously garnered so much attention I think it’s unbelievable uh what she’s been able to accomplish and it’s been so cool to see her Relish in people telling her she can’t and she won’t be successful and to see her grow throughout this season has been remarkable I mean she’s a rebounding machine uh and we saw that in college and I know that she took that fuel of people saying is it going to translate and has done just that in this early round so I mean listen sky’s the limit I keep saying that no pun intended her playing for Chicago sky but it’s great because I know Chicago sports are going to Rally around her and that team uh so you know what time it is it’s we’re about to get ready for the Olympics the Paris Olympics happening you guys are not strangers at all to winning gold but I do want to ask you because you know USA got to stay in the mix we always obviously we want to stay on top every single year what do you how do you like the chances for both track in basketball this year uh we have a lot of depth it’s looking really good um a lot of young Talent so I think we’re going to see a lot of record-breaking performances and I’m excited to take it in now for the first time as a spect sure Candace what do you think about women’s basketball I mean it’s going to be a gold medal I’ve always said this and not to brag but I think USA and women’s basketball could win gold silver and bronze and I think that to be honest with you uh not to sound cocky I think our talent and our skill development and everything around women’s basketball is just going to be showcased in Paris yeah for sure it’s going to be a lot of fun can’t wait yeah thank you guys for stopping by it’s so great to see you thank you and by the way I know you said 20 years ago you guys were on the carpet y’ look like y’all are 20 years old so y might have one maybe you were one when that happened but so great to

night you guys have been here before you’ve done this before but when you look at your careers cuz you know when you think about student athletes a lot of people don’t get experience the student athlete experience in the same way that you guys both have if you were to describe your journey what you guys have experienced so far what you guys have accomplished so far what would you how would you describe it liby oo I would say I am a completely different person than when I first started this journey especially at LSU I feel like LSU and the culture in Louisiana has molded me into the person I am today and LSU just produces amazing athletes and National Championship period and yeah I’m just so grateful okay but they also produce great rappers oh yeah right wey you remember this this time last year we were on the red carpet you were talking about getting the collab done with Lil Wayne We got it done what was that like we got it done it was amazing we actually shot the video

did you happen to see the game today I was getting my Glam done and I had my phone propped up and I was into it yes so so you saw he got pulled after seven Innings okay so so so how do yeah how do we feel about that you know what what he was doing was legendary because because a no hitter as a rookie is insane first of all that ain’t bad but he does throw really hard and he did throw a lot of pitches so save his body look at that advocate for that yeah that’s smart you’re smart I do want to ask you too liby you obviously you’re coming back for a fifth year not done yet why did you decide

doesn’t have her microphone yet get her a mic doesn’t have her microphone yet uh all right we’re ready Paige Becker’s in the building hello sister uh first because we haven’t actually asked anybody this we told them that they look good but we haven’t asked anybody what they’re wearing because they haven’t come like this so so so what what are we what are we wearing today uh David Yurman Jewelry um this is a kid suit on one of the first athletes that they’re working with and Jimmy chew on the shoes Okay kids super that’s huge that’s iconic I love that for you okay so let’s talk big picture because we all know women’s college basketball it’s it I was going to say it’s her that’s literally what it is watching I mean watching you since you were a freshman has been great to watch but just watching how the game is grown in your career at Yukon what has it been like from your perspective it’s been amazing I I just see the growth of popularity of just accessibility to the sport um I’ve always said women’s sports have always been great but I feel like people are really starting to understand that respect that um so it’s just amazing and truly grateful to be a part of and I think Paige the think that that is so interesting about your particular story came out hot freshman year injuries the past couple of years and then to come back this year and have the year that you did I mean what was that like for you I know that couldn’t have been easy it was tough it was a mental journey I grew a lot of my faith during that time um and I think life is all about how you come back from setbacks and how you respond to adversity um and for me I I was able to have a platform to show kids and younger people in the Gen in the Next Generation that everything is not always sweet there’s going to be tough times in life but it’s how you respond and how you battle back that says a lot about you it’s going to be so fun to watch you guys play this year I am like I know it feels like it just ended we’re ready for it to start again uh when you look forward to this upcoming season what are you most looking forward to uh God willing having a full roster and just being able to play with everybody um and just compete um have fun and just enjoy it yeah for sure it’ll be great so great seeing you you look good can’t wait to see on the basketball listen everybody’s been coming up here just absolutely serving and just kind of showing out showing us out so thank you for doing that so great seeing you apprciate you great to see you guys thank you see you later all right I believe that our friend Cam Newton is with a guy who is very used to winning championships won Draymond Green cam yeah you already know what we got going on Draymond Green ladies and gentlemen Draymond Green uh you looking like it but I have to ask clay oh man clay you know what we did some great stuff together I was telling someone the other day like we had a great run 12 years I’d rather us be remembered as dominant as we were and the Champions that we were than trying to just piece it all together and go out lming like so i’ rather be remembered as the guys who change the game of basketball not the guys that hold held on to it too long big I think will the question has to be asked bro and I must talk to a person that’s inside the source is the dynasty dead bro the Dynasty is never dead because dynasties don’t die dynasties are made they live on forever so it could never be dead yes sir now lastly for me bro coming from a person who’s using their platform to speak their truth in their own way obviously you’ve been able to do that same thing in season outseason creating unbelievable content talk about just athlete generated content right now bro I think athlete generated content is the future you know uh when you look at it everyone always say cut out the middleman it’s not necessarily looking at it to me as cutting out the middleman it’s what better story to tell about me than from me and I think guys have realized that and I must tell you I respect what you do I love your show um one of the things that really pissed me off is when people try to take away your legacy and what you’ve done the MVP of the NFL all the things that you did so I want you to know brother get your get your flowers from here you’re a legend you’re a Hall of Famer brother and I appreciate you my dog man listen we have to link up we have to create content now I can say now how crazy it sounds that I’m a YouTuber Dr resume you us yes sir it’s time now for the juiciest Moments in Sports presented by simply spite you guys remember this moment and if you don’t I don’t know what you were doing this is a gamewinner versus Tennessee Camila cardoso an absolute bucket who had never shot a three-pointer in her career until that one I mean that’s a good time to get it done there’s literally not a better time uh moment two Messi scoring a game-winning free kick in his inter Miami debut obviously everybody knows inter Miami Christine uh as your favorite soccer team yeah of course the 305 till I die all my friends were really excited about this one I never got to see Messi in person down in there 305 that’s very unfortunate you know it’s not unfortunate what Christian Christen yuse cheek did this entire NFL season she’s been doing it for a long time we just started taking notice if you haven’t been paying attention you saw Taylor Swift walked in with that Travis Kelce jacket she does this she’s been doing it for a minute and we should probably get hooked up with some maybe sometime soon certainly don’t regret the outfit decision but yeah I think it would be a good thing for next year moment four Ricky peera the people at Florida call him Pretty Ricky peaw crazy’s onehanded grab a lot of people thought he might have went early but I’ll tell you what rookie of the year candidate right there I’m so disappointed that you didn’t know that pricky Pretty Ricky was a group I did we knew that Caitlin Clark was going to be on this list duh she broke the NCAA women’s basketball scoring record I know why you’re laughing but uh she was an absolute bucket and she did it on that logo 3 which is honestly the best possible moment that you could get that absolutely not surprised that she’s on this list the V Foundation continues to be an important part of ESPN’s fight against cancer all funds raised through the SBS programming we’ll go to the Stewart Scott Memorial cancer research fund at the V foundation and stay tuned for a special announcement regarding the V Foundation during tonight’s s SP show so here we are Jaylen Brown have we named the trophy what’s the trophy’s name [Music] Larry Larry o’b Larry yeah Larry you ain’t got no nickname for it you know what I’m saying come on home team you can’t just be like what you got for it what you got what you got I mean that’s the partner you know I can’t even touch it cuz I a you know I mean know but listen bro real question how do you feel about the USA team right now bro what you mean why aren’t you there do you feel away I don’t really got no comment you know what I mean no come on home team come on bro I got a I got my beautiful day right there so he’s trying to deflect ladies and gentlemen and she’s a stepper now if we want to go there who steps more you or her who steps more definitely her you know what I mean but agree I do my thing too abely definitely her so do you think like right now we’ve seen so much we’ve seen so much growth with Team success obviously with personal success I’m not going to lie I’m going to be a man of my word I did not think you guys had the tenure to to boss up like y’all did and you put the world on notice from you what’s next for the Boston Celtics for you bro for us we we keep winning um we developed the culture built the Brotherhood so we do our best to keep that intact and we keep winning so last question for me are we going to spare bronnie if you had like are we talking smack are we you know what I’m saying like what are we doing you going to deflect that one too hey what we hey come on what’s the question the question is if you see bronny James on the court are you sparing him or are you going to give him a two-piece and a biscuit well I mean like when whoever’s in front of you it’s your job to to do what you do are we mentioning are we talking smack what’s the first thing you going to say when you see what’s the first thing I’m going to say I’m not going to say nothing oh my God J what I got to say we got we got the champion what I got to say we got Laro I’m sorry yeah yeah ain’t nothing to say let’s say l he coming here stepping I mean he stepping and flexing make sure he don’t pull nothing you dig I’m saying with so much sauce Elegance from Atlanta too you dig what I’m saying ladies and gentlemen Jaylen Brown yes sir get you mad bro all right so people are now filing in to the Dolby Theater as we get closer and closer what are we about eight minutes away before Serena Williams takes that stage as the host it does look really good uh cam is standing by again with another gu so I got to make sure my posture is on point like Stacy Adams with my dog Keenan Allen oh yeah what’s going on with you ain’t nothing man same old same old in this beautiful city beautiful but check this out though it’s a new transition for you bro yeah yeah are you ready oh you know I’m ready football’s football no matter where you play you know that um but I’m excited for the environment the city um the love I’m back on the southide where the you know the tradition is felt you know what I’m saying you feel a lot of love so um I’m excited for it but you now you’re the you’re the vet now yeah see what I’m saying you had the luxury of having a veteran quarterback coming into the league and obviously nurturing a baby in the league now so this is no new position for you what is something that the world or the sports world hasn’t found out yet about Caleb Williams um he’s young um I think I think being a being a you know one of the best guys in college you see a guy and you expect him to not make mistakes not have those those games and not um not like always supposed to respond he’s always you know you know the quarterback position they always expect you to you know be the top guy at all times and you know sometimes you going to make mistakes especially when you get into the league uh the NFL it’s hard you know it’s hard to come in and learn the knowledge snap count pre- snap reads um defensive coverages um everything is hard so it’s just hard to figure it out um it’s going to take some time and uh so you got guys like me DJ Moore Co K and the veterans you you got my old rookie DJ DJ he’s in good hands obviously with you bro how far are the Chicago Bears from being a playoff Contender I think we’re right there um obviously the defense is uh Second To None um playing them last year was always tough um they’ve been together for quite some time so they’re already you know have the chemistry like I said the offense we got so many weapons yes you know we just got to we just got to get on board and everybody got to get on the same page man I tell you like this from going to Chicago for a moment brief time the Bears they are in Search and they are yearning for winners bro major luck to you Keen keep rocking bro I appreciate you baby it is now about 6 minutes away from the start of the 2024 SB Awards it’s going to be great look at all these people in here a lot of these people are on the red carpet cam talk to a lot of people that we talk to a lot of people put in work yeah for sure it’s going to be so exciting uh so far Excell best part of best part oh my gosh I

saying so you guys it’s been fun it’s been a plum pleasing pleasure just to see so much talent and we’ seen everybody as we say it from what I’m from we seen some steppers today okay okay okay I like that you said that because a stepper first of all can you just can you just give everybody the actual definition of stepper okay see so it’s not a stepper it’s a stepper so you know when you walking like it you know you feeling like it and you just stepping they hear you but it’s like a you know a figure of speech okay no I stepped a couple times it’s really this I know this is bothering you cuz Christine hates when I give Atlanta Love and we got more I don’t hate it but he he does it too much listen this is why I’ll be I’ll be shut up I’ll be over here and he’ll be like so Atlanta and I’m like I’m here too okay Jay-Z has a saying that says if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere uhhuh it’s really supposed to been if you can make it in Atlanta have your little moment then okay you uh shout out to everybody from Atlanta you dig what I’m saying 44770 678 all that you know 47 I did 47 all right like Atlanta is wakanda so stop playing with it you dig just that’s the moment that’s what y’all needed I’m well we’ll leave it at that okay we’ll save the rest for later uh so cam as you mentioned you saw some steppers today who do you think has been the best dressed wow

too I asked him he’s been he’s been media trained cuz I asked him how does he feel about not being on the USA team you would have thought he was out here playing basketball the way he Euro out of that question because I know it it’s it’s it’s on his it’s on his mental yeah for sure and just to know that three to four other of his teammates are there yeah so I mean and he’s Finals MVP come on now
