John's, very famous gentleman, comes up to me and says, and he's on the committee, right? He's young man, you're not going to make the Olympic team, but you're going to be a great pro basketball player. I'm going, whoa, wow. Okay. And I'm saying to myself, wait a second. I thought they played pretty good. And I thought they were supposed to evaluate this.

Obviously, he already knew who was on the team. And I'll be perfectly honest with it. In the trials and do stuff, Bill Bradley did not play well. Okay. And he was a great college player. Did he deserve to be on the Olympic team then with averages? Absolutely, he did. You know, so he had a bad start. they'll try out.

In fact, the United States is the only team in the only country in the world that they don't take their best players. You have to try out and you have to have a bad time trying out. A lot of times you don't make it in track and field. Do you have a bad day? You might not make the track and field team. You might have the world record and you won't be on the team.

There's no other country in the world that would not take the world record holder in their country and force him to go to a tryout and not put him on the team.

So it doesn't make any sense. So it's stuff like that that's really kind of interesting. So I was so happy for Canyon after he had, you know, the unbelievable the sad experience of not getting a chance in the NBA to really play, which I thought he was capable of certainly doing, and to get to be an Olympian. And then, sadly, Jimmer Fredette, you know, they were the top scorers on the team.

They were the two best back then. You only get two and three on three, not three. It's a three-point shot, though. And from distance-wise, and... My son was number one and Jimmer was number two the whole year in the world tour. And so, you know, you lose Jimmer and they still lost three games by only two points. My son had two unbelievable games that they won.

They almost had a chance to get to the medal round. Two free throws were missed, not by him, but two free throws were missed. missed it would have put him in the medal round playing with only three guys. So I was so happy for him to see the joy in his face and the experience that he had. And, you know, I told him in life, it's not everything happens for a reason.

It wasn't meant for you to be in the NBA, but you've dealt with it so well. And he made a commitment to spend all those years. He's done seven USA 3X3 national teams, participated in five international events and had, yeah, was it five? No, six, participated in six international events. No, he didn't participate because he didn't get to play in the Olympic qualifying.
