Thank you, man. I've been very, very blessed, been very, very fortunate. When you say it, that does feel weird, like as a little kid watching basketball and all of a sudden to be like, bro, you're one of the voices of the game of basketball. Like that's trippy. Thank you for bringing that to my top of my brain at 9 a.m. this morning.

You know what? I had gotten to know Draymond. I knew a little bit about from college, but I know Tom Izzo guy. So he gets there and I'm year, I think I'm year 12 or 13. My back is fucked up. So I'm in full, like I'm in full, I'm just going to be a veteran role. I got young Clay. I got Steph who was, hadn't quite graduated. grown and established himself to be that guy yet.

He was still dealing with the ankle surgeries and stuff, but it's Harrison Barnes, Kent Baysmore. I had this young group of talented guys that I was like, fuck it. If this is how I go out mentoring these guys for a year, cool. So I get to know Draymond a little bit and first shot he hits, he's screaming and yelling, gets a technical and I, he gets technical, whatever.

But he was like, no, I got to, I'm like, no, Dray, this is who you have to be, bro. I'm like, I know enough about this game. You got to be a mean, like not dirty, but a mean motherfucker. That's who you have to be. If you do that and play with that intensity, now you got to control it. then you're going to be in this league. Because he's a second round pick just trying to make it.

If you out here not like instilling fear or people being like, oh, here comes this guy. Think Pat Bev. Pat Bev is like, I'm trying to prove that I belong here, even though I know I belong. So Draymond, now he's gotten a little outside of the realm at times. And that's where I feel like every once in a while I'll text him or I can put a message out via social like Dray.

You know, I'm the person that's saying this is who you have to be. But with that power, you also have to regulate it. I would say better than he has at some times. But most of the time they've won four championships with them, you know.
