116° basketball’s Indo something like that I heard it was like record like it it’s the hottest that City’s ever been like a couple of days ago whatever it was so yeah that’s exciting uh thankfully we play an indoor sport so don’t have to worry about it too much what your thoughts as far as you guys have have gotten together here obviously you’ve gotten some good practic in you you ready to play someone else now it’s been awesome getting to know everybody just kind of coming together as a team um you know kind of bouncing around and uh trying to figure each other out figure out each other’s games where we all fit in and uh I think it’s going to be a great opportunity and hopefully we can we can go all the way is it extra cool for you to wear the Nuggets your crein is he who’s more excited kind of about this all um you know any Jersey I think would be great um but being here with Christian like you said is is obviously special getting to put this on and uh just kind of following his footsteps so to say um he’s kind of paved the way we’re really proud of everything he’s done and uh yeah it’s special it’s it’s a great opportunity what was your experience like when you I mean just looking at your bio stuff the fact that you guys were able to play together win state championship I mean had to be just tremendous highlight not just to do that but to do that with a sibling yeah it’s fun uh we kind of grew up playing against each other all the time competing and uh kind of built that that competitiveness up but uh once we kind of got to high school like you said we’re on the same team and now every time we go back home we play we’re always on the same team kind of playing together I think that’s more fun that way but um yeah it’s been fun it’s really really special to have a guy play at that high level and kind of live his dream other sports you guys play against each other too and how competitive things get who was good at the other sport it didn’t matter what sport it was we could whoever finished dinner fastest you know like it it was it was a competition for everything we did basically for those who are more familiar with his game what about yours give us the Scouting Report here um I think just versatility uh just being able to do a little bit of everything on the court whatever is asked to me um you know it might not be flashy but I think making winning plays you know even if you’re not making shots or you’re not kind of being the loudest player out there just being able to make winning plays on both ends of the floor what are some of the final points of emphasis here before you guys head to Vegas from Mon it’s just competing and playing hard that’s kind of bottom line uh you know we don’t have a lot of time to put too much stuff in so it’s just a matter of playing hard and and playing having fun and playing together what advice has Christian given you about this opportunity and about being here just to go play hard and leave it all out there um he kind of when he did it it was we went out there and watched him and you know he had a lot of fun but at the same time like coach has been saying it’s a business trip so I think winning at at this level is kind of what stands out the most to coaches and organizations so we’re just going to go out there and win and that’s kind of what Christian said too competitive person in your family my mom not even close uh you guys kind of see Christian get fired up sometimes but never like my mom so when you guys were playing one-on-one like would your mom watch like what was that experience um no most of the time she just kind of throw a ball out there and watch us go at it um there wasn’t much splitting us up it was kind of figured out you know may the best man when did uh have you been in touch with Christian after each of these practices the a little bit he’s on vacation right now so I try to stay out of his hair let him let him enjoy his downtime but um yeah he’s kind just kind of picked his brain he’s asked me a couple times how’s it going just checking in but nothing really too serious yeah is he uh is he going to be in Vegas or still on vacation I think he plans to yeah I don’t know if he I don’t know if it’s going to be like the first game or what but I think he’s going to spend some time out there very cool um are there any any favorite Christian stories from growing up um I think just watching him uh I think I don’t know if he’s been told but he was a big KU guy always growing up and I’ve been asked a couple times like were you disappointed he wasn’t a he didn’t go to missou with you and I was like honestly I didn’t think there was any chance he would he would go to missou cuz he was a Kansas guy through and through so just kind of watching him live his dream at every level and and following his journey I think it’s something that I’m really proud of and I think we’re all really proud of you said it was a contest so you could eat dinner fastest who did eat dinner fast not me I’m I’m the slowest eater out there but uh you know Christian he’s pretty FY too he takes pride in in winning and no matter what it is so he kind of he probably got me in most of that stuff so when we talked to after the t- wolf series he was as down as you know we’ve ever seen him um what was it like because you seen him at his highest of highs and lows of lows with that yeah I I tried to call him afterwards we normally talk like after every game or whatever cuz I watch them all but um I tried to call him he didn’t answer so I was like all right I’ll kind of let it cool down try to call him the next day he still didn’t answer I’m like well at this point I hope he’s okay and then my mom was like I think he’s going to come in town Friday or something like that and I didn’t hear from him until he got into town so I think he took it pretty personally I think it kind of hurt him a lot especially you know how much he’s won at every level so I think he wants to win it every single year he plays uh he wants to win every game he plays so he was definitely down after that and uh hopefully he’s going to have a big offseason and and step into a bigger role and you know hopefully they can go back and we’ll watch him in the finals again take you back a year how funny was it to watch him at the parade he was awesome he’s he’s definitely uh card play hard kind of guy um and he he deserved it you know this it’s winning at literally the highest level it’s you’re the world champion so he had he had the right to go celebrate a little bit do you hate losing as much as he does I do um I kind of just love playing the game it might not be as fiery and screaming out there like Christian is but um yeah I think it’s it’s definitely you don’t want their man to score on you you want to win every possession is there a time you’ve beaten him in something that you’re most proud of whether it’s basketball home or something completely definitely some things I think I’m more proud of my golf game I think is way better than his he he’s this summer came back and I thought we’d maybe have some competition but I think I got him by a mile in golf so I’m I’m definitely going to hold that over his head will he agree with that or oh he’ll he’ll definitely agree with that he won’t he won’t fight you over that he’ll probably go out there and and try his best but he I don’t think he’ll be able to do it you
