Chapter 5: What insights does Jaron 'Boots' Ennis share about his boxing career?
We got a very special guest joining us tonight. Ocho, you're going to love this. Jerron Boots. He joins us in about 30 minutes. But first... De'Aaron Fox says he sacrificed his game for the betterment of the team. Obviously, I'm not shooting the ball as much, but coming here, I knew that was the way it was going to be. As a player, you sacrifice for the betterment of the team.
There are times where I need to take shots or times where I don't take as many shots, but at the end of the day, you need to make shots that you take. Joe, should De'Aaron Fox be sacrificing more or less of his game, or should he become more aggressive in order to take the pressure off? I don't think he should be sacrificing, fellas.
I think he has to be aggressive, you know, to take some pressure off these other guys. I mean, he's the quickest, fastest guy on the court who can get to any spot he wants to. I'm not worried about, obviously, his shooting percentage, but he has to still be aggressive just to put pressure on the defense and make them loosen up a little bit. Hey, man, they in the finals, bro.
We can't make excuses now. We just got to get the job done. I think he has to be aggressive. He has to have some big games in this series for them to win. Yeah, but I think the thing is, Joe, I don't think he needs to take 30 shots because he's not playing with a player that's been – he's never played with a player that's the equivalent of Wimby.
So naturally, you're going to have to – you know, obviously, maybe not – I'm not saying you need to take five shots, but I'm not saying you need to take 25 shots either. You're going to have to find a – there has to be a balance somewhere in there, Ocho and Joe, that he can find a way I can be aggressive but not be because, bro, you're not in Sacramento anymore. Yeah.
you would have never been in this situation in Sacramento. And maybe that's one of the reasons is that, first of all, you didn't have the level of talent that you have surrounding you now. And obviously, when you're in that situation, you have to sacrifice something.
If you go back and look at LeBron and all those guys when they teamed up, you go back and look at KD and Klay Thompson and Steph when they teamed up, somebody... has to be sacrificed some parts of their game, Joe, in order for this thing to be successful.
I'm not saying you take five, six shots, but the thing that you need to take 25, 30 shots like you did in Sacramento, I don't think that's a good idea either.
Go ahead, Joe.

Chapter 6: What are the challenges of transitioning between weight classes in boxing?
And Joe, and correct me if I'm wrong, obviously when you have to sacrifice and you come to a team where you're playing with better players and you're not in Sacramento, as opposed to sacrificing your shot selection and efficiency becomes that much more important, right? Man, you have to become more efficient when you have so many guys around you Who can play, bro?
I take y'all back to 0405 when I played on that Phoenix Suns team. I'm telling you, I knew that I wasn't going to get no 18 to 20 shots a night playing with Sean, Mary, and Steve Nash, Amari Stoudemire, and Quinn Richardson. But the damn shots I did get, I wanted to be efficient. You know what I mean? I wanted to be hella efficient, bro, so I could put my stamp on the game.
And what Fox has to realize, yeah, you ain't going to get 18 to 22 shots. You know, maybe. But for the most part, you got to be efficient, bro. You can't go three for 13. If you're going to shoot 13, 14 shots, they need you to go about seven for 13.
seven for 13 you know what i mean yeah he has to be efficient and i think he's he's a good enough player bro to where he's able to do that like there's nobody out there on the court who can stay in front of him he has to know that and he has to use his quickness to his advantage bro getting the spot shooting his floater making plays shooting with confidence shooting his middies he has the game he just has to bring it out
Do you know that notice, Joe? I know that notice, Joe. When people say sacrifice, what they mean? Only on one end of the court. You notice that on Joe and Joe? Did he sacrifice any defense? Did he sacrifice his assist? So what did he sacrifice, Joe and Ocho? Shots and points, you see? Everybody likes to judge themselves by how many points I scored, how many catches I had, how many touchdowns.
Okay, when you sacrifice on one end, did you pick up something else? Right. Because if I sacrifice one bill, Joe, your mom sacrificed one bill in order to bring something else. She didn't sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. She sacrificed one thing, Ocho and Joe, your grandma, Joe.

Chapter 7: How does Boots prepare for a fight in training camp?
She sacrificed one thing to do another. My grandma sacrificed one thing to do another. If you notice, I had to sacrifice a large portion of my game. So normally, I say, you know what? If I sacrifice on the offensive end, maybe I can pick it up on the defensive end and create something. an opportunity for me to get another shot. Maybe if I get a steal, I get an easy layup.
Maybe if I poke the ball away from behind, they pass it out, I get me an easy two, four points like that. You notice everybody when they sacrifice, what do they sacrifice? Don't nobody say, well, I sacrificed my defense. I sacrifice my money. Go ahead. Joe, you got to understand.
Now, what he talks about when he's saying sacrifice, he's going to bring up the points because of what he's done when he was in Sacramento. And you know what else people are going to point to, Joe? Look at the money he's making. Look at the deal he signed. So the deal that he- He about to go into that big extension, Joe, where he makes, I think, 51, 52 next year, 53, 58, then 60.
They ain't paying you 50, 50-something million to play no damn defense. They ain't playing you 50 million to set no picks. Huh? Joe, stay with me now. I'm with you. We paying you to score. So when you do have a night where you're three for 13, come on, somebody talk to me now. Hey, they paying him to lead, fellas. They paying him to lead. He's a veteran.
Listen, I don't know if San Antonio knew they was going to have this much talent on this team. You know what I mean?

Chapter 8: What is Boots' mindset going into his upcoming fight?
I don't think they did. And it's a good problem to have. What Fox has to do, he has to know how to utilize those guys the best to his advantage and be a key component. into them winning games in this series. You know what I mean? If they want to win the title, he has to be aggressive, man. I don't want to hear nothing about that sacrifice in my game.
Bro, you're on the biggest stage, the biggest moment. Hey, man, enjoy while you can. Lead these guys, man. Y'all can get it done. Well, the question is, Joe, I mean, you can put up Sacramento numbers and be where you were in Sacramento. That's the problem, playing meaningless basketball. So, you see, there's a fine line.
that you have to walk between, you know what, I want to be the guy, I want to be all-star, I want to do X, Y, and Z, and be home in the postseason. Even if you make it, you going home in the first round, or sacrificing, finding other ways to contribute other than scoring and being in the NBA finals and potentially winning a championship.
Because as a key contributor on an NBA or a World Series team or a championship team in football, it changes you. It changes the way people look at you. It changes the way people think of you. We look at Draymond Green in a totally different light. Draymond Green could have those same exact stats on a team that has not won championships.
And we're not looking at him because everybody tries to devalue, talking about, yeah, you only did that because you was with Golden State. If you was with Detroit, if you was with this team and you ain't have these championships. So that is the fine line that you really have to walk as an athlete. is that do I want the gaudy numbers?
And we all, we all would love to be Kobe in average 30 and still go to the NBA finals. We would love to be Jordan in average 30 and go. We would love to be Jokic and put up LeBron and these guys to put up gaudy numbers. But everybody can't do that. Everybody can't be the lead dog, still get their shots. KD sacrificed, Steph sacrificed, Clay sacrificed, and all for the betterment of the team.
And that's what you're going to have to do, Fox. You're going to have to sacrifice. And like Joe said, you might only get 13, 15 shots, but they need to be really, really efficient. You just can't arbitrarily heat check now.
Yeah.
Because you're around better players. You've never played with a player like Wimby. And the guards, they might be younger than you. But you haven't played with guards like Castle. You haven't played with guards like Harper. You think that's difficult, though? What? Yeah, it is. Just coming to a team that's better, being that now you're in a situation you've never been in before.
