We of course left here Friday wondering when the Ace Bailey
00:04
stuff would end in Utah. Well, he did arrive over the weekend.
00:08
I'm sure you saw the clips of him getting off the plane, giving everybody hugs.
00:12
Hugs and kisses for everybody. Ace Bailey, very happy to be with the Utah team.
00:16
Very happy. Was there any point that you considered not coming to Utah?
00:20
No, not at all. I mean, just
00:24
blessed to be in this position I am. Not a lot of people can sit in these chairs and have great teammates
00:28
as I got on. They came on with me, so I'm just blessed to be here.
00:32
I mean, what more do you have to hear from the kid?
00:36
No one believes him. They all think he's a liar. Meanwhile, when he played at Rutgers,
00:40
everyone loved him. It's amazing to me how he's like the most beloved player.
00:44
Coaches, staff, teammates all love him. And then suddenly overnight, everyone hates
00:48
his guts and he's the devil. I just don't believe it. I also told
00:52
you on Friday, there is no way in hell that this guy is going to
00:56
win this battle. He's not going to not show up and he's going to lose
01:00
that Danny Ainge is not losing to
01:02
some kid that he drafted
01:04
fifth. He's going to win. Danny Ainge
01:06
will win every time. It does not matter
01:08
what the draft
01:10
choice says, what his reps
01:12
say, his agents, his handlers,
01:14
his PR people, his whole
01:16
machination. You know, the
01:18
whole group of
01:20
them, they knew what was going to happen.
01:22
He was playing for the Jazz whether he liked it or not.
01:26
He was absolutely going
01:28
to do that. Speaking of
01:30
first round draft picks, of course,
01:32
Yang Hanson, who
01:34
I believe they were calling what the Chinese
01:36
Joker, the kid that Portland
01:38
took in the middle of the first round.
01:40
Of course, we're just learning more about
01:42
these kids with them coming over
01:44
especially the guys that played overseas.
01:46
So what does he like to do
01:48
in his spare time when there's no basketball?
01:50
This is great. Why don't we find out?
01:52
Hi, I'm interested in
01:54
you as a person. What
01:56
are some of your interests and what do you think
01:58
you'd be doing if you weren't playing basketball?
02:03
Watch this.
02:06
Sometimes I
02:08
sleep.
02:10
All time sleep.
02:12
And I
02:14
like to play
02:16
PS5.
02:20
And I like
02:22
eat.
02:26
I like to sleep,
02:28
play PS5 and eat.
02:30
That is a fantastic
02:32
press conference.
02:34
In fact, he sounds like my son.
02:36
That's what he does. He sleeps,
02:38
smokes,
02:40
and plays PS5.
02:42
And then goes to movies with me.
02:44
I did see F1 the movie.
02:46
I have to give you
02:48
a massive five stars.
02:50
I mean, what in IMAX
02:52
it was insanity. How cool that
02:54
and not only that Brad Pitt
02:56
and F1 smashed
02:58
the weekend at the box office
03:00
destroying all others in its path.
