00:00We were talking about how he went off with 16 in the third quarter.

00:03He had 30 all together, and he's just looking fly,

00:06and he's just like, I was feeling it last night.

00:08What is it like when you get in one of those runs

00:11like you were offensively there in the third quarter?

00:13It's the best feeling ever.

00:15Did it start with that shot that you made at the end of the first half

00:18to kind of get you going?

00:20Probably. Yeah, probably.

00:22Yeah, that was a nice shot for me.

00:24It got me going.

00:25You know, did you see him last night doing an interview with the chick?

00:28And he's like, what up, nephew?

00:34Did you see the guy walk by, and he stopped the interview

00:36and started talking to him?

00:38What up, my boy? What up, kid?

00:40And then he looked at the chick and he's like, what'd you want?

00:45He's awesome.

00:47Because he's already made it very clear.

00:50He doesn't want to be one of these guys that is the face of the league.

00:55He don't want any part of that.

00:56But the whole place loves him.

00:58Like, they sort of, you see him go up, him and Gary Payton after the game.

01:01Remember last week with Irvin?

01:03All that, like, everybody wants a piece of ant.

01:05But ant's just like, he don't want nothing to do with any of it.

01:09He don't want to be no face of the league.

01:10Right.

01:11Or do the interviews.

01:12But he's a cool cat.

01:14I mean, he's here right there.

01:15He's a cool cat.

01:16I think he likes filling it up.

01:18I think when he gets going, man.

01:22Julius Randle has liked filling it up, too.

01:24He's been, since that first game where he wasn't very good and they lost, he's been excellent in this series for the Wolves.

01:31He had a triple-double the last game.

01:33Then he had 31 points last night.

01:35Here he is.

01:36You know, he's been through a lot, too.

01:37He's had a lot of stops with the moving van.

01:41But remember, he started way back in Los Angeles with Kobe.

01:45And he learned a lot even back then.

01:47I don't know, man.

01:48I've battled through a lot in my career, to be honest.

01:51So, I mean, my first game in my career, I broke my leg.

01:55You know what I mean?

01:56So, I've been through a lot.

02:00I had a great mentor in Kobe.

02:02He, you know, that didn't necessarily let me pout or get down on myself.

02:08You know, his thing was always, all right, what's next?

02:10You know, how can you get better?

02:11How can you improve?

02:12So, I always just kind of took that mentality with me.

02:16I mean, growing up, my mom raised me to be a hard worker and, you know, not feel sorry for myself.

02:21So, I mean, I just think it's in my DNA and it's just a part of who I am.

02:24So, I look forward to challenges, adversity, all that different type of stuff.

02:29You know, it's room for growth.

02:30Do you think if I had that little kid's due that Kate Upton would finally sleep with me?

02:38I don't know.

02:41I mean, she's got JV.

02:44So, I mean, we might have to find somebody else.

02:46He's looking real old, bro.

02:47I mean, honestly, he looks older than me.

02:50He fits pretty good last year.

02:52I'm 20 years older than him, but I look better than him.

02:55He did lose, but he didn't look better.

02:58He is Uncle Graybeard.

03:00Steph Curry's not going to play tomorrow night in a game five in Minneapolis.

03:07Here's Draymond Green.

03:09The Warriors got all kinds of problems.

03:12We're already missing our number one guy who makes the dominoes fall.

03:17So, he makes it that much tougher.

03:18So, got to come up with all the loose balls and set that type of tone and then defensively.

03:26Got to be really good.

03:27You know, you can't give up 117 points without Steph.

03:31You're probably losing.

03:33Because the likelihood that we're going to score 117 points without him is not that high.

03:38So, everyone has to commit to getting it done on the defensive end, everybody being on the stream.

03:45That's how we can give ourselves a chance.

03:46Okay, so that is all you need to know that they're finished.

03:52He's already, like, saying it right there.

03:55We can't even do this.

03:56We can't score 117 points.

03:58We can't stop anybody.

04:00And we don't have Steph.

04:01He's just, he's laying the groundwork already for their exit.

04:07They're going fishing.

04:08Cabo.

04:10And another one, I'm going to say it again.

04:12He can't shoot.

04:14I mean, when he pulls up, I'm like, yes, please, more of this.

04:17More of this.

04:18And you know what?

04:19Even if Minnie's down in a game and that guy's shooting, I'm like, all right, here we go.

04:24Let's go on a run.

04:25Because you know he's going to miss.
