Full Episode
you know we love ohio on this podcast we've got two for you Ty Jerome, one of my favorite stories slash favorite players in the NBA. His rough start to the career, to the highs of this Cleveland team, their long-term success. And just talking hoops with Ty Jerome. And Will Howard from Ohio State, the national champs.
Post-combine, we'll go over the season and get ready for his dream to be an NFL quarterback next month. And life advice. He's one of the best stories in the NBA this year, and look, I know he's not the headliner, but he's in the conversation for sixth man of the year, and the Cavs are just brilliant, and he's been a lot of fun. It's Ty Jerome. Good morning, man. Thanks for doing this. Of course.
Thanks for having me. Okay, so what's this season been like for you? Like having this stretch, having this run, putting up real numbers, having a role after some of the early transitions in the league for you?
Yeah, it's kind of like you... I've always had the vision of who I want to be in this league. And, you know, deal with some injuries, some trades, all these different things pop up and it kind of derails your vision. And holding that and being able to keep in that belief in yourself until you finally get a consistent opportunity. And to see it come to light has been pretty cool. Obviously...
There's a million things that I individually still want to accomplish, and as a team, we still want to accomplish. Nobody's on a victory lap yet, but it's definitely pretty cool to have that consistent night-to-night role that I've always strived to have.
Let's go through the resume here before the Cleveland part of it. So you're a first-round pick. Were you aware of what was going on with all of the trades? What did you know? Because you were basically traded on draft night, but then I think the Bain deal was already done as well, but then that was announced like a week later.
Yeah, I knew I was going to Phoenix when my name was called. I knew it was Phoenix.
Yeah.
Because they traded for the pick before the pick actually occurred.
