Most important thing of the summer. Yes. By far. Yes. I haven't even thought about basketball. It's been just trying to train at golf. I did it a couple years ago, and it was the funnest experience I've had, you know, and it's I got the most respect for golfers.
I wish, I wish my dad put a golf club in my hand before, before, you know, baseball and football, obviously basketball worked out pretty well, but, uh, I started playing around COVID and then, uh, I got very invited to the American century tournament. It's, It was great, man. Everything's fun until they announce your name, all your accolades, and everything's quiet.
My caddie's like, yeah, just take it over the guy in the red hat over his head. I'm like, oh, shoot, this is a little bit different than shooting a free throw. It's fun, though, man. I got a passion for it. I play all the time, me and my boys. It's fun.
Last time, I got to do better than I did last time. So my first time I had the jitters, I think I finished like 12th from last.
Had a decent first day, and after that, it was just blow up hole, you know, scared to hit people. So that was a couple years ago. I've been playing with a couple of my boys. That was the year Steph won, though. So I need to be in the top 10. top 30. I'll be happy with.
Okay. That's my, that's my boy. I was just playing with him the other day. Uh, Devante will be out there. Um, Who else? Probably Kyle Lowry. That's one of my good friends, too. I want to probably beat him. Devontae's pretty damn good, man. He's probably like a five handicap.
No, the guy that has nasty stuff, man, every time I talk to him, I say, you can't be this good at both sports. Yeah, agreed. He's pro-level at golf, so it's sick.
Yeah, it started off as golf. I got addicted to it. I was, you know, you guys know me. I'm a pretty good athlete. I was a better baseball player than basketball. So, you know, it's, you know, picking up golf was it wasn't that hard. I already knew how to swing. But it's definitely it's challenging, man. It's challenging.
I think I would have been pretty good. Obviously, um, you know, me and me and Donovan Mitchell were having this conversation. We did the little celebrity all-star game in Seattle. And, uh, We're like, how about we both retire at 32 and see which one of us will make the pros after we retire. I made a good choice, man. I can't get mad at anything I've done.
Basketball is definitely my passion and something I excel at.
Still does. Yeah, no, I mean, I've done everything from, you know, athletic training-wise of,
running jumping plyometrics i used to i used to do lunges on the football field from 100 yard lines and then do them backwards 80 backwards 60 i would hop the hashes i would i would run you know run hills with weight vests on when i was 12 you know my dad was training me like a you know a professional when i was a kid so i think i think everything helped out yeah so he's still he works you out now every once my dad's retired now that's what he says you know he said my job is to you know enjoy you enjoy enjoy his grandkids and
you know, come to games and talk a little shit. I think that's about it, you know, but, uh, he's still, uh, you know, he still gives me some workouts for sure.
I mean, the guy, the guy's a crash dummy, man. I mean, playing with him for three years, he, he's one of the smartest dudes. He's going to be a great coach when he's done. You know, when he, when he was with us in Chicago, he would, he would help lead some of our meetings. Um, and you know, him coming from LA, having that championship predigree, you know, it elevated our defense immediately. Um,
Helping guys out like me and DeMar just being gaps. And Alex, you know, Alex is a great athlete. But, you know, he'll tell you first. He's like, I'm not an elite, elite, you know, athlete. He's just all heart and IQ, man. You know, he studies film a lot. I've seen him break down dudes game. I remember how he guarded me. I always tell him I gave him 38 one day, but it was a hard 38.
But AC is one of the best defenders in the NBA. I think he should have been all-first defense many times, many times.
Every year he should have it, every year.
Everything that goes Alex's way, man, he deserves. One of the hardest working guys. You know, one of the coolest dudes. Talk about a good golfer, too. He's a little bit better than me, too. I think he competed in the American Century Tournament one time. So he's a great guy. He's one of my good friends.
Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm going for my guys all the time. You know, AC, I want him to, you know, be able to hoist another championship. I'll see him later this summer. So, you know, if he can get another one, I mean, what a trade. You know, the upgrade that they had when Chicago traded him to OKC, man, it was an incredible trade for them.
I mean, they're a really good defensive team. I think they put that first. You know, guys that support each other are hard-nosed guys, and, you know, that's their role to go out there. You know, we understand Shea's role, but, you know, he sits in gaps. You know, he's not somebody that you're going to say is an elite defender, but, you know, he sits down when he needs to. He has really good hands.
