One what was that like and what did it feel like to get the win when I was playing against I remember me I remember when I was playing with the middle school kids I look at them like this uh they was really tall there was couple rebound could get he just standing and

Grab it I was like that’s not fair but it was good it was really good like I can see really special talent and he going to do big thing in the NBA those guys like I’m learning from them because uh I’m still working hard you’ve been in

A lot of big game situations and atmospheres this is a little bit like an exhibition but late did it feel like some pressure H the late game was it turned out to be a it be a fight everybody now they locked in now say

We’re not losing um we had a lot of fun a lot of fun at the end um my my my guys were just we were trying hard but those guys they were just hitting everything and uh finishing strong pretty good week for you you get in and play in the third

Quarter in that Raptors game help the team get a victory in the NBA and now you’re in the rising stars game playing well that was a good one I was good one out of the blue I was sitting on the bench I just hear coach osar and I said

I look behind me I look I was the only OS in the bench I tell you I was not I knew they going to play me at some point but I did not expect to be in to so I was relaxing cheating for my team I just

Hear my name that’s why I KN I was W so that was good I we have a team win you think Ben deserves the MVP I think he deserved the MVP um because he went crazy at first game the second gave me Tun Up too but that’s okay he was just

Named MP osar H he was just he was just Nam yeah you going to get it next time but I’m happy for him he got the crowd going a little bit so it’s good Oscar how did this kind of compare to maybe what you were expecting or hoping for um

What I was expecting like I thought like people just going to J Around not do anything but this actually was a little competing the first game people play a little bit relaxing the last game was a real uh game seven for me we were going at each other Oscar I feel like

Everybody’s always sleeping on the g- league Talent is this win show that you guys can compete with anybody absolutely we can we can work hard like we can compete um but we still walk hard and trying to get to the NBA level um we got special talent in the gague too lot of

Special talent um we’re going to just keep working we’re going to keep walking how fun was it for you tonight to have Ty miles Obie Isaiah in their Courtside cheing you on it was a lot of fun they talking crazy they were like OS if you

Do this we’re going to do this for you I was like yeah let me I’m show you the next game um they told me if I shoot a threes and I make it is was going to buy me he told me go buy me my new airpod

Something like that that’s why I think it that please I had so much confidence I saw going in you can see how it bounced and it went up I was like yes it’s coming back up and it’s back after next and then Oscar I remember at

The beginning of the year uh Tyrese said that you were the best Rebound in the world you actually out rebounded wimy today do you go into every game thinking that that’s that’s what I do I know my gift is rebound so I would rather to have more rebound than have more points

Um to go against wmy and I rebound him that’s what I do I just go for Rebound I just position myself to get it who was it like trying to defend what’s it like trying to defend him when he’s dribbling it is tough it is tough um he trying to

Thre between my legs and trying to get it I would say it was a kind of foul him little B sto him but it was a allar game the rising they were not going to call that but it was fun fun guarding him I was talking to him all the game we were

Just talking and it just have fun what were you talking about I was just talking about the game he was talking about the game you know H that was F they didn’t call that I said no man I you know I could get that re I just let

To get it I said with agent talk it was good how much were you able to watch that first game and what do you think of then kind of taking over in the middle and and talking throughout as you see in practice I saw that coming I saw that

Coming because you was telling me I’m going to turn up I’m going to turn up watch me I’m going to turn up I saw that coming and he prepared for it so I expected that
