Good morning Benji let wake up man come on come here here you go got to get your morning poop in man oh the pee turned into a poop wow worst part about having a dog can only imagine how it’s going to be once me and my wife

Have kids I not stand dog poop baby poop any sort of poop good boy good boy come on okay now that the goon has had his morning poop I can chill out a little bit now I get my morning coffee weirdly I I look forward to this I will

Literally go to bed thinking about my morning coffee is that a problem yeah probably it’s probably weird but there’s something about it it’s like 15 20 minutes I get in the morning it’s my time to like think reassess the day whatever all the things got to do most

Time before I drink my coffee I take my vitamins on an empty stomach and I also get water first thing in the morning so for vitamins I don’t take I don’t take anything crazy right now just the simple the bare minimums Omega-3s multivitamin and little Magnesium today is another game day for Champions League we play galatas put a vlog out when I went to when we went to Turkey got her asses whooped so I’m thinking today is going to be a get back day time to get my get back they’re a

Really really good team but tough travel from Turkey to Lisbon both ways you know what I’m saying it’s a must- win for both of us it’s going to be a dog fight I wanted to make a vlog out of this one and I’m I’m calling my shot early

Because I’m feeling like I’m going to play really well tonight bounce back from last time I played them I it’s me calling my shot so we’ll see you know I’ll just take you guys kind of throughout my day a little bit bit before and and then we’ll get to the

Game oh and another quick question for you guys I want I want a little feedback do you like these game day type Vlog or what else do you guys want to kind of like see about the overseas life I mean I don’t do a lot of traveling right now

But um I do some exploring and kind of you know life outside of basketball I’m just interested to know like kind of I don’t know I want some feedback what would you guys like to see more of on my channel let me know in the comments and

I’ll make sure to respond to anybody asking you know questions or recommendations for this type of stuff I’m convinced I’m autistic too cuz I have a lot of these weird obsessions but one of them is yatsi when I tell you I play like an hour every morning of yatsi

I’m strange I know but I guess that’s just how I tick greatest game of all Time we’re running a little late to treatment that’s okay though got to be there in 10 minutes I just like being early to things so a little rush this morning but it’s all right I’m I want to show you guys a little bit of the gym and the arena and the facilities I

Haven’t really done that before so maybe if I got some time I’ll show you guys a little bit of that all right so there’s our Stadium it seats 55,000 stadia Del L one of the biggest coolest fan bases in the world you have all the soccer I think captains or

Something like this on the roundabout another view of the stadium so there’s the football stadium the big stadium and here’s ours kind of like the smaller one is like all the sports outside of football basically Bena is a huge Club it actually has 27 sports that’s the list of them right

There here’s the main entrance for the players you have a swimming pool weight rooms down there you walk straight in here here’s G in the player entrance to the Gym it’s all the Championships Championship from last year here’s the locker room nothing special but I guess does the trick perfectly I feel like in overseas basketball they kind of skimp out on locker rooms cuz normally they have great gyms and Facilities so my locker nice and clean big Niner Oh here’s our Arena I think it seats 2 3,000 most time it’s not very full it’s the Calm before the storm I know I still really like it the red is cool color all right shoo run just got over just arriv back to the house yeah got to go get

Some lunch take the dog on a little walk and then I’m for sure hitting the pregame nap then it’s straight into the game day routine shoot around was cool my body feels solid I think the team is ready again we’ve already played the these guys so we kind of have a a feel

For him we did very poorly in some things last game like guarding the Spanish pick and roll or we allowed too many points off our turnovers we’re ready to make the adjustments and they had to come to our place so it should be I think it’s going to be a way different

Game but yeah super excited they got a lot a lot of dynamic players they have a huge budget so those that don’t really understand or know a lot about overseas basketball a lot of teams from Turkey have real good money and so they’re able to sign a lot more proven experienced

Players a lot a lot of times just straight up more talented so we’re for sure the underdogs in terms of budget and that makes a big difference overseas they have eight foreigners where we only have five that doesn’t always mean like the foreigners are the best players but

A lot of times those are the players that they’ll pay a lot for it’s an interesting game it should be really fun we both really need this win I’m really looking forward to it I’m I’m sure our fans are going to show up tonight and uh

Give us some of that same football loud Portuguese spirit that we’re going to need hi baby boy what’s up baby doggy hi baby hi buddy hi buddy that’s a good boy yeah you want to play ball you want to play ball buddy want to play ball put these nets up last week

Looks like they’re still there proud of it but the we had some basketballs here that I put out and those are all for sure gone that one’s falling off a little bit don’t like that but oh lunch is here I don’t know why I do this every single time I feel I feel

Like I’m like hiding can you see him buddy can you see him you I see him hold on oh got though thank you a Local Kitchen let’s see I got a salmon poke Bowl got two of them one for now one for after 8 pretty expensive but

I think worth it normally I make myself a little sandwich or something on game day but I know exactly what this is so I get the protein with the salmon and there’s rice underneath here then I get the carbs with the fruit and the rice this is basically like the best pregame

Game Day meal you can get I might need a little more calories so I’ll probably eat half of this one but this is about as good as you can get salmon poke Bowl that’s tuna too salmon and tuna Fire got to get in my pregame snack pregame journal for my snack I got a peanut butter Bagel yeah I’m going to give this little pregame Journal get my mind right and then get ready for the game it’s cool cuz you can I can go back and look

At you know almost every game how shooting workout over it’ll be Prett cool by the see they have everything I’ll see you later I was getting ready for the game tonight I don’t know why but but I keep getting this I don’t remember who said this or remember where I heard this

Where are you operating from a place of Faith or a place of fear it’s one or the other maybe you have moments where you operate from fear or moments where you operate from faith I always hear people say like oh don’t play scared like oh he’s playing like he you know he’s

Fearful or something but in reality that’s our natural human reaction but when we have a higher Vision higher purpose and you have faith in something greater than yourself it takes the pressure off you you you no longer have have to operate from that that place of fear like like things won’t turn out

Okay for me like I think that’s my my key for tonight’s game My All Around overall goal is to just operate from a place of Faith cuz it’s in God’s hands he he he knows my my steps knows my path that’s all I can really ask for and now

It’s just up to me to just walk and just do it to the best of my ability and all the chips will fall where they’re supposed to so for tonight I’m operate by faith and not fear and just literally just do my best I’m getting sick and tired of saying

This but it was another tough one for us we were really really competitive for about 2 and 1 half almost 34s and we just completely lost it in this game I had some great moments and some not so great moments let’s take some time and let’s learn and get better we tweaked

The starting lineup a little bit so now I’m coming off the bench to have more of a playmaker role I get in the game with about 4 minutes left to go in the first and I immediately make an impact hting this quarter three this is just a good

Example of being ready to play right when you check in very important especially in European basketball now here in the second quarter I hit another quick release Corner [Applause] Three now watch it again and pay attention to the little hop I make before I shoot it’s called a pop hop and I think that’s why this shot was so quick and hard to guard now here I get a top pick and roll I think I need to do a

Better job setting up the reject first do a good job drawing two Defenders and making a pass off the dribble with one hand if I do the traditional jump stop and pass right here I don’t think my teammate gets an open [Applause] three on this next play we have to guard

A bunch of different ball screen actions in high level European basketball there’s not much time in between action you have to be constantly reading and adjusting your position right here I’m a little bit out of position my feet should be one step above the restricted

Area and I think if I do this it’s not a foul here this one step is a difference between a winning and losing play initially I thought I didn’t foul and I jump straight up he said I jump from point A to point B and when I watch the

Replay it’s exactly what I did kind of jump into him and he does a good job putting his shoulder much yet now here we have sort of a broken play but we end up in a good position for a step up ball screen I try to make a pocket pass

Doesn’t get through and it forces my big man to shoot a tough mid-range now what could I have done differently to get this pass through the pocket pass is clearly the right read it’s open but if I make this with my inside hand I think it gets through it seems like a small

Detail but that’s the difference between winning and losing plays here I do a really good job of creating an advantage for my team I extend the big man then when I drive three commit to me and I make a nice little hook pass here this is winning basketball now this play

Right here is when hits the fan for both me and the team I ripped down a nice rebound over two guys and I pushed the break rightfully so I put pressure on the rim trying to evade my Defender with the Euro Step I think I get fouls

Here the defender does a good job selling that this wasn’t a foul but I actually broke my cheekbone let’s slow it down right here is when I knew I up what’s tough is at this exact moment we are up by eight with all the momentum now I’m doing a pretty good job

Acting like I’m not in excruciating pain but my face is throbbing and it’s all I can think about and honestly this was not a good decision to go back in the game after that play where I broke my face they went on a 20 to2 run I only

Played like three more minutes in this game so there wasn’t much to learn from and no punt intended that was just a tough break for me and the team in general here at Benfica we have a tradition of thanking the fans after the game I mean they did come out and spend

Their time supporting us so of course I want to give back in this moment my face is killing me right now I mean here you can see the bump there’s clearly something wrong regardless the outcome of this game and how horrible my face feels I’m just grateful for all the

Continued support from the Benfica faithful this season’s far from over so if you want to see more make sure you like And subscribe to the channel and I’ll see yall soon and she said yeah I know wish I can make it easier I can I just know right and wrong
