Time flies quick.

Philly, huh?

We rolling?

Of course we are.

You got me.

Let me know.

Just keep it going.

I actually like Philly though, great city.

I like Philly.

I spent a little bit of time there when I was younger.

I actually played at the Palestra in high school.

Yeah, my senior year it was, you know, growing up and being like a historian

and reading stories about the Palestra and obviously Wilt Chamberlain

and all the things that he did there

and how historical it was for us to go there My senior year being from Akron.

I was like, oh man I'm like in a building with some of the greatest ever played

So it just had an aura about it when I played it was it was fun.

AI came to the game That was pretty cool to see Bubba Chuck at the game.

So what do you remember about that game?

What I remember about the game was that we was playing the number one player in Pennsylvania Um, Maurice Rice.

He had broke Wilt Chamberlain's single season scoring record.

So, I'm reading all this stuff about Wilt and the history of the game, and we're traveling to Philadelphia, and they say, okay, well,

you guys are going against a guy who's broken Wilt single season record.

And I'm like, this guy Wilt averaged 60 and 40.

What the hell is this guy doing

so it was like oh we better have our shoes tight

and we better be ready to go yeah i definitely remember

and i remember walking into the into that into that arena and just it just it felt like

it felt like the coliseum like like gladiators like fought in

this place like it was an old like field feeling about it

so you can tell like the basketball gods and the basketball while Spears was in there that night.

Like, it felt right.

History was in the building.

Yeah, history was in the building, it felt right.

That's cool, man.

Yeah, I always love asking you old questions like that.

Yeah, yeah, it felt right.

I can't believe how much you always remember about shit that's like a million years old.

Yeah, yeah, it felt right.

Yeah, that's cool.

It's a shame, I mean, we always got to move on now, but those old buildings are the best, for a totally different reason.

I don't know if you had to play in them every day, but this is always special.

Yeah, I always think about now, like, even out in the present, like, you know, playing in the new arena

that Golden State has like compared to Oracle like I had

so many battles in Oracle and Oracle felt like

that too yeah like it felt like everything was on top of you like it felt like

that like so it's always like you know going into the chase arena now I believe

but it's always feeling like a little different you know going

in there now it's like a computer chip yeah yeah exactly

a concrete circle exactly yeah before we Philly before we get

into Philly before we get into Philly I definitely want to bring up

Obviously one of the greatest coaches ever played a game someone

that you played for someone that you admired and I want you

We all take a time for the late great Don Nelson.

Yeah.

Yeah, and just give us you know Give us give me you

know us you know the perspective obviously you play with him being around them You know what did he mean for you?

Nelly means the world to me So for those who didn't get to spend a lot of time with Nelly, he's one of a kind.

Larger than life, big personality, can walk into any room and own it,

free spirit, but also a basketball mind and genius.

I mean, the effect he had on the game, played in the league, obviously won championships, hit a game -winning shot in the finals, I think, at the Forum, if I'm not mistaken.

Hit the back rim, bounced way up in the air, went in.

Coached at an elite, elite level, one of the all -time leaders in wins.

Was on the rules committee, always out in front of where's the game going, what are we doing, how can we affect and make the game better.

But for me, it was about a coach who took me at a time in my career that was tricky for me, and where I was just trying to make a name for myself.

So I'd played two pretty good years in Phoenix, but was playing behind Jason Kidd, Kevin Johnson.

Second year, earned a bunch of minutes, showed a little value.

They thought they were going to lose me in free agency, so they traded me.

And I went to Dallas and hurt my back.

That's when I first realized I had back issues.

So it was tricky at first, but playing for Nelly was amazing because he would push you,

but he also believed in you and

if you could handle it he'd give you more rope

and more rope and more open so he challenged me in a lot of ways

and I remember one of the most impactful things Nelly did for me was made me more aggressive

and less shy You know, I grew up in an era where the point guard was to run the team organize the team

Facilitate and he thought that was bullshit.

He's like you can score the ball.

You can attack I want you to attack and shoot the ball as many times as you need to shoot the ball.

You know one story That I remember in the details may be a little fuzzy,

but we played Atlanta I think I came out pretty passive maybe had like five points in the first half

or down 20

he kind of laid into us got on me for not

being aggressive i think i had 35 in the second half

and we lose in overtime and he comes in the locker room

and he was like that's fucking bullshit if you're a dominant player dominate

and he lit me up you know you know you're thinking you know yeah man we lost

but got us back in the game yeah he's like that's unacceptable like your job is to attack

and to kill people

and i think for me as a young player from the

west coast of canada like someone believing like you're as good as these guys don't sit

and wait and play make go and so

100

that was impactful for me for the rest of my career

101

to not be shy to believe to to know i belong

102

and i think that him pushing and asking more of me

103

and giving me more responsibility but also letting me drown

104

if i had to yeah you know remember he used to say to me

105

if i were having a bad shooting stretch he'd be like sleep in the streets like

106

And I didn't quite know what he meant at the time, but he was like, man, if you're a bum, you're a bum.

107

Go sleep in the streets.

108

Accept it.

109

It'll come back around.

110

And so there's so many stories.

111

Those are just a couple, but the impact he had on me to have more belief, to have more, you know, you know, just feeling of I can do this at the highest level.

112

And I also remember when I made my first All -Star game, he kind of looked at me shaking my head, like, because I had this, like, excitement and smile on my face.

113

He's like, oh, now you believe.

114

You know, like, what have I been telling you to go do?

115

So just, he put a lot of life into me.

116

Yeah, absolutely.

117

Put a lot of life into me, and so one of the truly most impactful people I think our game and our league's had, and sorry I went off on a tangent.

118

No, I love that.

119

The guy means a lot to me.

120

Absolutely.

121

He's meant a lot to our game, and we will miss you very much, Nelly.

122

I love the man.

123

Absolutely.

124

We send all our prayers, our spirits, our good vibes to his whole family, friends, everybody, anybody being associated with Nelly.

125

and we lost a great one, but he's definitely going to continue to look down on us on the basketball community, you know, for as long as he'll be up there with us.

126

So we know that.

127

So that's awesome.

128

Like I said, I never got an opportunity to play for him, but I've been around him obviously as an opponent, you know, and just being around some of his teams either when he was in GS, Golden State or in Dallas,

129

you know, so much respect.

130

Like you said, one of the most winningest coaches in NBA history, and that doesn't just come by uh by luck that's right you know no way

131

that that that is that is by detail

132

that is by knowing the game that is by putting the work in and good things happen so

133

unbelievable person thanks for saying that

134

some cities shape you as a player dallas shaped me as a person i spent six seasons there

135

and it's where I really came into my own as a player.

136

More importantly, it's where I met some of my best friends.

137

Every summer, my friend hosts a celebrity tennis tournament, which always gives me a good excuse to get back to Dallas and talk a little trash to my old teammate.

138

For this year's tournament, I booked a great home on Airbnb in the Uptown neighborhood.

139

It was spacious, perfectly located, and put me right in the middle of some great restaurants and things to explore around Dallas.

140

And while I love the tacos and burgers, Texas barbecue is no joke.

141

That's what I like about staying somewhere like uptown you're not

142

just in dallas you get to experience the neighborhood find your way around

143

and feel a little more like a local and

144

if you're heading out of town yourself it's worth thinking about

145

your home too instead of sitting empty you can list it on airbnb while you're away

146

especially

147

when something big is happening in your city a sporting event

148

a concert a festival fans traveling your city can experience it like a local

149

while you earn a little extra cash to put toward your own travels.

150

It's a pretty nice way to make your home work for you while you're off exploring somewhere else.

151

Your home might be worth more than you think.

152

Find out how much at airbnb .com slash host.

153

You know, I'll give you my end of career feelings because I want to get to the big picture of your summer.

154

Like the start, I'm sure the summer started a lot different than it ended

155

yeah for sure right before it's ending um you know i i retired at 40.

156

the last year and a half or more was tough injured

157

but when i got to 40 and retired i wanted to play so bad I wanted to play.

158

I just wanted to get whatever I could out of it.

159

I wanted to be a part of it.

160

I wanted to compete.

161

Because I knew the end is finite.

162

Like, if it's done, it's done, right?

163

Coming out of this season, I mean, you just dominated a playoff series, right?

164

So it's a little different.

165

Like, your health wasn't necessarily a mileage can be an issue, but your health was good.

166

You're playing at a high level.

167

How did you go into the summer, and how did we get to the end of the summer?

168

Um, yeah, like you said, you know, coming out of that playoff series and coming out of the postseason, I felt, you know, pretty damn good, you know, at the, like you said,

169

the mileage that I have on my body, the toll that's taking me to get to this point, I felt pretty good.

170

But there was like a, there was a lot of moments of once we lost to OKC, is this the end, you know, and.

171

Where did they show up?

172

Like, when are you thinking that?

173

Like, when you're in the locker room after the game and you're playing home, just like on vacation with the fam?

174

I'm they show up in just like random moment like it show up sometimes the day of the game Yeah, you know, it's so when I got right going or shows up like,

175

you know You're leaving home

176

and now you got to get on a four -hour flight It'll show up there

177

while you're on the plane and you just like reading or listen to music and you

178

It'll just show up like this may be it.

179

Yeah, you know, so it shows up at random, you know moments and random You know times of the day, so So, you know, it just always,

180

it played all the way obviously to the end of the season and also into, you know, into the offseason.

181

Yeah.

182

And as time goes by, you know, I'm sure you get some time with the fam.

183

You take your break.

184

You know, you do other things.

185

By the way, did your golf game improve this summer?

186

It has.

187

Here we go.

188

It has improved.

189

All right, all right.

190

That's a good sign, huh?

191

YouTube channel.

192

Yeah, come on now.

193

Cut it off.

194

But you go from, like, everything's in doubt, season ends, I don't know, team, am I still playing, how do I feel about this whole thing,

195

to what were the stages to get to, like, I'm playing first?

196

Yeah, I mean, it all came down to, you know, for me, I've always told myself,

197

like, if I feel like I can't put in the process of waking up and training the body and training the mind,

198

and I feel good after I do that on a consistent basis, like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

199

Like, if I feel like I am cheating that process because that's what's gotten me to this point, then I know for sure that I'm done.

200

You know, and I was able to take the time off after the season.

201

You know, it took like a month and a half, two months off of no basketball.

202

I was obviously still, you know, doing certain things, whatever the case may be, to try to keep the body in a good place.

203

But, yeah, I just, I felt like my body responded very well, you know, after the season.

204

My mind responded better than it actually did last summer.

205

Okay.

206

Do you attribute that to anything?

207

I don't know.

208

I don't know.

209

Like, I think the only thing that I continue to say to myself was like, if you still have an opportunity to do what you love,

210

then why just say I'm done?

211

Yeah.

212

What is the reason?

213

And do you have a real reason if your wife is saying continue to go if you want to?

214

Your daughter and your two boys are like, yeah, do what you do.

215

This is, you know, we're going to be here.

216

Like, if I have an opportunity to still do what I love to do

217

and continue to inspire people in what I love to do, then I think that's what it came down to.

218

And I'm not going to cheat it, you know.

219

I'm not going to just, you know, wake up and show up to practice.

220

No stretch, no workout, no weight room, you know, no recovery, no nothing.

221

Just go on the court and play.

222

That's your answer.

223

Yeah, there's no way I can do that and be successful in this game.

224

So I think it just came down to just like like

225

we talked to her like you said what what's this What's the courage closed the curtains closed?

226

Yeah, you know And

227

if you still have an opportunity to still play it at a higher level and compete at a high level, you know Why not for me there was this?

228

Two -sided nature of wanting to play and it wasn't just loving the game.

229

It was I love the game I want to compete

Me encanta el juego, quiero competir.

230

and perform but as much as anything I loved and was obsessed or addicted to the lifestyle of preparing competing,

y actuar, pero más que nada me encantaba y estaba obsesionado o era adicto al estilo de vida de prepararme para competir,

231

recovering, going against someone else the next night, where's your balance between I just love the game, or has that love shifted to I love this pursuit of trying to be my best every night?

Recuperándote, enfrentándote a alguien más la noche siguiente, ¿dónde está tu equilibrio entre "simplemente amo el juego" o "ese amor se ha transformado en 'amo esta búsqueda de intentar ser el mejor cada noche'"?

232

Yeah, I think I'm more in love with the pursuit of how much can I continue to define the odds.

Sí, creo que estoy más enamorado de la búsqueda de hasta qué punto puedo seguir definiendo las probabilidades.

233

It's this whole father of time thing that I've actually dived into and have a real basketball competitive thing with him.

Es todo este tema del padre del tiempo en el que realmente me he sumergido y tengo una verdadera rivalidad en el baloncesto con él.

234

Uh, so like, you know, like last week.

Eh, bueno, como, ya sabes, como la semana pasada.

235

I've been doing on the court.

Lo he estado haciendo en la cancha.

236

I've been working out Monday, Tuesday on court, take Wednesday off, and then I go Thursday, Friday, and then take the weekend off.

He estado entrenando los lunes y martes en la cancha, descanso los miércoles, luego entreno los jueves y viernes, y finalmente descanso el fin de semana.

237

Last week, I went Monday, Tuesday, and then my trainer hit me Tuesday evening.

La semana pasada fui el lunes, el martes y luego mi entrenador me llamó el martes por la noche.

238

It was like, good first two days, big fella.

Fue como, buenos dos primeros días, grandulón.

239

See you Thursday morning.

Nos vemos el jueves por la mañana.

240

And I was like, you know what?

Y yo pensé, ¿sabes qué?

241

Actually, I'm going to be in tomorrow morning.

En realidad, estaré allí mañana por la mañana.

242

And I was like, what?

Y yo me quedé como, ¿qué?

243

And I showed up Wednesday, and I did three days straight.

Me presenté el miércoles y trabajé tres días seguidos.

244

Like, it was like, and I went through the workout, felt really good, responded well.

Como, fue como, y terminé el entrenamiento, me sentí muy bien, respondí bien.

245

And Chris, shout out Chris Johnson and Corey, man.

Y Chris, un saludo a Chris Johnson y Corey, tío.

246

Those are my guys, Corey Smith.

Esos son mis muchachos, Corey Smith.

247

Those guys are awesome.

Esos chicos son geniales.

248

They was like, what you doing here three days straight?

Me preguntaron: "¿Qué haces aquí tres días seguidos?".

249

We ain't doing three days.

No vamos a hacerlo durante tres días.

250

I'm like, we're going to get something done.

Yo pienso: vamos a lograr algo.

251

And we got something done.

Y logramos algo.

252

It was super productive.

Fue súper productivo.

253

So just like you said, Steve, I think that I'm more in love with just like the process of getting the body right,

Entonces, tal como dijiste, Steve, creo que estoy más enamorado del proceso de lograr que el cuerpo quede bien,

254

keeping the mind fresh.

mantener la mente despejada.

255

How long can I keep the mind fresh?

¿Cuánto tiempo puedo mantener la mente despejada?

256

And now, moving on to Philly, you know, giving all the game and the blueprint to these guys,

Y ahora, pasando a Filadelfia, ya sabes, dándoles todo el juego y el plan a estos muchachos,

257

you know, to Embiid, to Maxie, to Vijay.

Ya sabes, a Embiid, a Maxie, a Vijay.

258

You know, JB kind of, he has some of the blueprint because he experienced it, obviously, in Boston.

Ya sabes, JB tiene una idea general del proceso porque, obviamente, lo vivió en Boston.

259

You know, but Anthony Simons, and obviously I'm back with KCP, who I was able to give some of the DNA to.

Ya sabes, pero Anthony Simons, y obviamente he vuelto con KCP, a quien pude aportar parte de mi ADN.

260

When we won a championship here in 2020, you know, you know, Dean Wade and the rest of those guys,

Cuando ganamos un campeonato aquí en 2020, ya sabes, ya sabes, Dean Wade y el resto de esos muchachos,

261

like I'm I'm excited about that almost more than that.

Como si estuviera emocionado por eso casi más que eso.

262

It's going to sound crazy, but actually get on the floor, right?

Va a sonar descabellado, pero de verdad, ¡tírate al suelo!

263

Because if that thing clicks, this will be easy.

Porque si eso funciona, esto será fácil.

264

That will be easy.

Eso será fácil.

265

So I'm excited and intrigued about that.

Así que estoy entusiasmado e intrigado por eso.

266

So there's two things I'm hearing like one you went three days in a row instead of two.

Entonces, hay dos cosas que estoy escuchando, como que fuiste tres días seguidos en lugar de dos.

267

That's that's because you want to push.

Eso es porque quieres empujar.

268

And you want to say, like, the smart thing to do is two.

Y quieres decir, como, que lo inteligente es hacer dos.

269

The smart thing to do is two.

Lo más inteligente es hacer dos.

270

I want to prove I can still.

Quiero demostrar que aún puedo.

271

So there's a father time competition.

Así que hay una competición contra el tiempo.

272

And it's a lunatic thing.

Y es una locura.

273

Yeah, yeah.

Sí, sí.

274

Like, you don't want to insult yourself.

Es decir, no quieres insultarte a ti mismo.

275

You know?

¿Sabes?

276

You want more.

Quieres más.

277

And then the other thing is this legacy.

Y luego está el otro aspecto: este legado.

278

Sharing.

Intercambio.

279

Mentoring.

Tutoría.

280

Yeah, man.

Sí, hombre.

281

Like you said, inspiring with your play.

Como dijiste, tu juego es inspirador.

282

But that's kind of our peripheral thing.

Pero eso es algo secundario para nosotros.

283

That's a second thing.

Esa es otra cuestión.

284

The thing inside the locker room is to be able to share, grow, mentor.

Lo importante dentro del vestuario es poder compartir, crecer y ser mentores.

285

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Sí, sí, absolutamente.

286

And that still means a lot.

Y eso sigue significando mucho.

287

You still get juice from that.

Todavía se puede obtener jugo de eso.

288

Yeah, absolutely.

Sí, absolutamente.

289

Absolutely.

Absolutamente.

290

You know, I've been around some, obviously, some great locker rooms, been around some great teammates.

Ya sabes, he estado en algunos vestuarios, obviamente, estupendos, y he estado rodeado de compañeros de equipo fantásticos.

291

And, you know, this is another opportunity to be able to share all the stuff

Y, ya sabes, esta es otra oportunidad para poder compartir todas las cosas.

292

that I've been able to gather over two decades as a professional.

que he podido recopilar a lo largo de dos décadas como profesional.

293

And, you know, over 30 years of being in the game.

Y, ya sabes, más de 30 años en este mundillo.

294

and believing that I was, not only believing, but knowing that the game was given to me the right way

y creyendo que lo era, no solo creyendo, sino sabiendo que el juego me fue dado de la manera correcta.

295

and the proper way of how to play it and how to approach it and how to go after it, you know, to be able to now,

y la forma correcta de jugarlo y cómo abordarlo y cómo ir tras él, ya sabes, para poder hacerlo ahora,

296

you know, take that into a new locker room is something that's motivating for me.

Sabes, llevar eso a un nuevo vestuario es algo que me motiva.

297

That was a great comment you made about, like, if we take care of this, the on -the -court stuff.

Fue un comentario genial el que hiciste sobre, por ejemplo, si nos ocupamos de esto, las cosas en la cancha.

298

Yeah.

Sí.

299

I mean, that's one of these, we can maybe touch on this later, but we'll start talking about why Philly but like that's one of these things

Quiero decir, ese es uno de esos temas, tal vez podamos abordarlo más adelante, pero comenzaremos a hablar de por qué Filadelfia, pero es uno de esos temas.

300

that I really want to hear from you about is You know, you're coming into a locker room with personalities a lot of success and we're gonna get to that but

Lo que realmente quiero escuchar de ti es que sabes, estás entrando a un vestuario con personalidades, mucho éxito y vamos a llegar a eso, pero

301

But first I want to hear like how did you come to Philly?

Pero primero quiero saber, ¿cómo llegaste a Filadelfia?

302

I? I have my thoughts on it.

¿Yo? Tengo mi opinión al respecto.

303

Yeah, but I'd love to hear from you.

Sí, pero me encantaría saber de ti.

304

Like what what led to saying like that's my destination?

¿Como qué fue lo que llevó a decir que ese es mi destino?

305

Yeah, um Um, I think one of the, well, first of all, my relationship with Tyrese Maxey goes beyond the court.

Sí, eh... creo que una de las, bueno, en primer lugar, mi relación con Tyrese Maxey va más allá de la cancha.

306

You can tell every time you mention him on the podcast.

Se nota cada vez que lo mencionas en el podcast.

307

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sí, sí, sí.

308

You love him.

Lo amas.

309

And by the way, when I mentioned him in the past on the podcast, Philly was not even in question.

Y, por cierto, cuando lo mencioné en el podcast en el pasado, Filadelfia ni siquiera estaba en duda.

310

Like, it was just like.

Como, fue como.

311

You didn't even know they would.

Ni siquiera sabías que lo harían.

312

No, absolutely.

No, absolutamente.

313

I didn't even, you know, obviously, and it's way before the JB trade as well, which was another intriguing piece.

Ni siquiera lo sabía, obviamente, y es mucho antes del intercambio de JB también, que fue otra pieza intrigante.

314

Yeah, right, yeah.

Sí, claro, sí.

315

You know, but I just love everything about Tyrese Maxey,

Ya sabes, pero me encanta todo de Tyrese Maxey,

316

man like he just said every every day you get the same person and that is very rare

Como acaba de decir, todos los días te encuentras con la misma persona, y eso es muy raro.

317

in sports and and obviously super rare in life

en los deportes y, obviamente, súper raro en la vida

318

and I've always talked about how great of a person

y siempre he hablado de lo maravillosa que es esa persona

319

that he is and obviously we know what he brings to the basketball court

Él lo es y, obviamente, sabemos lo que aporta a la cancha de baloncesto.

320

but like he he was deaf when I became a free agent

pero al igual que él, era sordo cuando me convertí en agente libre.

321

and and we decided to let the Lakers know

y decidimos hacérselo saber a los Lakers.

322

that I wouldn't be returning he was one of the first people

que yo no regresaría, él fue una de las primeras personas

323

that was on my line calling me yo what we doing oh what's up What's up, OG?

que estaba en mi línea llamándome yo qué estamos haciendo oh qué pasa ¿Qué pasa, OG?

324

What's up?

¿Qué pasa?

325

What's up, O -Heg?

¿Qué tal, O-Heg?

326

You know, come on down here, man.

Ya sabes, ven aquí, hombre.

327

We can use you down here, you know.

Te necesitamos aquí abajo, ¿sabes?

328

So in our relationship, like, it's a lot of times that I just I don't answer the phone for a lot of phone calls

Entonces, en nuestra relación, muchas veces simplemente no contesto el teléfono para muchas llamadas.

329

because I don't even want to be swayed in one way

porque ni siquiera quiero dejarme influenciar de una manera.

330

or I don't even want I already know what you're calling about.

o ni siquiera quiero, ya sé por qué llamas.

331

But I mean, he's just such a he's such a great person.

Pero quiero decir, es una persona tan maravillosa.

332

I cannot not talk to him, one.

No puedo dejar de hablar con él, uno.

333

But I thought the JB trade, too, was another.

Pero yo también pensé que el intercambio de JB era otro caso similar.

334

that nobody I don't think anybody seen coming I think people saw

que nadie, no creo que nadie lo viera venir, creo que la gente vio

335

that something was going to happen there

que algo iba a pasar allí

336

but I didn't I don't think anybody thought that it would be Philly

pero no creo que nadie pensara que sería Filadelfia

337

that would be part of that that trade package

Eso formaría parte de ese paquete comercial.

338

and I love the way he approaches the game too you

y me encanta la forma en que él también aborda el juego.

339

know both sides of the floor what he brings to the

conocer ambos lados de la cancha lo que aporta al

340

game his insight on the game I watched him you know kind of misunderstood and

juego su perspectiva sobre el juego lo observé ya sabes, una especie de malentendido y

341

that is absolutely okay I don't think I think we're all individuals for a reason like you know i'm saying

Eso está perfectamente bien. No creo que todos seamos individuos por una razón, como ya sabes a lo que me refiero.

342

and everyone's always trying to put everybody in the same box

y todo el mundo siempre intenta meter a todos en el mismo saco.

343

and i and i love what what he stands for

y yo y me encanta lo que él representa

344

and what he brings uh to the table um you know in that fashion

y lo que él aporta, eh, a la mesa, eh, ya sabes, de esa manera.

345

and one of the most important to be honest is is the big fella he's done everything in our league

y uno de los más importantes, para ser honesto, es el grandullón, él lo ha hecho todo en nuestra liga.

346

and the only thing he has not done and that's winning championship and i want to try to help him

y lo único que no ha hecho es ganar el campeonato y quiero intentar ayudarlo.

347

get that first one.

Consigue el primero.

348

He's been the MVP of our league.

Ha sido el jugador más valioso de nuestra liga.

349

He has a gold medal.

Tiene una medalla de oro.

350

All -stars.

Todas las estrellas.

351

Signature shoes.

Zapatos de autor.

352

Bunch of money.

Un montón de dinero.

353

Beautiful fans.

Hermosos abanicos.

354

He has everything.

Lo tiene todo.

355

He has the city on his back.

Él carga con la ciudad sobre sus hombros.

356

He's been the process.

Él ha sido el proceso.

357

You know, for what, 10 years, 12 years, or however long he's been there.

Ya sabes, ¿durante cuánto tiempo? ¿10 años, 12 años, o el tiempo que sea que haya estado allí?

358

But I mean, I think it's time now that we even dig even deeper into the process, and I hope that I can be kind of

Pero quiero decir, creo que es hora de que profundicemos aún más en el proceso, y espero poder ser de alguna manera

359

that final little piece that can help him get over the hump

esa última pequeña pieza que puede ayudarle a superar el obstáculo.

360

and have him see maybe just see it a little bit

y que lo vea, tal vez solo un poquito.

361

differently than he's seen it in his career as far as

de manera diferente a como lo ha visto en su carrera en lo que respecta a

362

like the day -to -day process the day -to -day what it takes to get there

como el proceso del día a día el día a día lo que se necesita para llegar allí

363

so definitely one of the most disappointing things has been his health like for a player

Así que definitivamente una de las cosas más decepcionantes ha sido su salud como jugador.

364

that is so talented so gifted to have such a difficult time staying healthy you know

Es tan talentoso, tan dotado, que le cuesta tanto mantenerse sano, ¿sabes?

365

that that's the big question right the team is

Esa es la gran pregunta, ¿verdad? El equipo está

366

that he is you know such a big piece of the

que él es, ya sabes, una parte tan importante de la

367

team such a talented player I mean he shows up for three games against Boston

El equipo tiene un jugador tan talentoso, quiero decir, aparece en tres partidos contra Boston.

368

and wins a series you know and just bullied them through the series

y gana una serie, ya sabes, y simplemente los acosó durante toda la serie.

369

and then his body can't take it

y entonces su cuerpo no puede soportarlo

370

and that's the thing is like can we see Joe play ball

y esa es la cuestión es si podemos ver a Joe jugar al baloncesto

371

and stay with it that's that's the you know what everyone

y quédate con eso, eso es, ya sabes lo que todos saben.

372

wants to see what I want to see know Joe a little bit

Quiere ver lo que yo quiero ver, conocer un poco a Joe

373

and really really like him

y realmente me gusta mucho.

374

and his talent is amazing it he loves to play ball yeah

y su talento es asombroso, le encanta jugar al baloncesto, sí.

375

so it's gonna be interesting I think that's gotta be one

Así que va a ser interesante, creo que tiene que ser uno.

376

those things like on everyone's mind is can he stay healthy through a playoff run

Una de las cosas que preocupa a todos es si podrá mantenerse sano durante los playoffs.

377

so you know what's interesting about tyrese is um you remember

Entonces, ¿sabes lo interesante de Tyrese? Es que... ¿te acuerdas?

378

on the pod with steph like i had a comment

En el podcast con Steph, como si tuviera un comentario.

379

that like as good

que me gusta mucho

380

and talented as stuff is it's his personality his day -to

y talentoso como es, es su personalidad su día -a

381

-day like who he is as a person tyrese has

-día como quien es como persona Tyrese tiene

382

that some of

que algunos de

383

that right like it feel like he's just like loves to

que justo como se siente como si él simplemente amara

384

play yeah Loves to like there's a positivity to everything he does it comes across.

Juega sí Le encanta que haya positividad en todo lo que hace y eso se nota.

385

He's been the same person

Él ha sido la misma persona.

386

Since the moment I met him before he was drafted into

Desde el momento en que lo conocí antes de que fuera reclutado

387

the NBA the same Exact person he came to my house

La NBA, la misma persona exacta, vino a mi casa.

388

and at that point in time he was 19 years old

y en ese momento tenía 19 años.

389

So he was actually hanging with Bronny

Así que en realidad estaba pasando el rato con Bronny.

390

and Bryce They was like playing video games at the cretin inside the house

y Bryce Era como jugar videojuegos con el cretino dentro de la casa

391

So I met him say what's up to whatever he's going into the draft But he was actually, he was closer to Bronny and Bryce than he was to me, obviously.

Así que lo conocí, le dije qué tal, lo que sea que estuviera haciendo para el draft. Pero en realidad, era más cercano a Bronny y Bryce que a mí, obviamente.

392

So he was hanging with them.

Así que estaba pasando el rato con ellos.

393

But, like, came in super respectful to me, super respectful to my wife, super respectful to everybody in the house.

Pero, la verdad, fue súper respetuoso conmigo, súper respetuoso con mi esposa, súper respetuoso con todos en la casa.

394

Bright smile and just, like, super just, like, down to earth, you know.

Sonrisa radiante y, simplemente, súper sencilla, ¿sabes?

395

And from the moment he's gotten drafted to the perennial all -star superstar that he's becoming, nothing has changed.

Y desde el momento en que fue seleccionado en el draft hasta convertirse en la superestrella All-Star perenne en la que se está convirtiendo, nada ha cambiado.

396

Yeah.

397

Nothing has changed in his demeanor.

Su actitud no ha cambiado en absoluto.

398

You know, and we all know how people can be the humble kid coming in

Ya sabes, y todos sabemos cómo la gente puede ser el chico humilde que viene

399

and I'm excited and then some success happen and they be totally different.

y estoy emocionado y luego sucede algo de éxito y son totalmente diferentes.

400

Kid has been the same, same person, man.

El chico sigue siendo el mismo, la misma persona, tío.

401

And that is it's hard sometimes, too.

Y eso es que a veces también es difícil.

402

I'm not faulting anybody for having some change as far as, you know, growth is good when it's about change.

No culpo a nadie por experimentar algún cambio, ya que, como saben, el crecimiento es bueno cuando implica cambios.

403

But like, you know, this kid has this young man now, I would say this young man now is beyond his years for sure.

Pero, ya sabes, este chico tiene ahora a este joven, diría que este joven ahora es definitivamente más maduro para su edad.

404

Easy to root for easy to root for what about Jalen what makes him misunderstood

Fácil de apoyar, fácil de apoyar, ¿qué pasa con Jalen? ¿Qué lo hace incomprendido?

405

because this guy's always played hard both sides of the ball

porque este tipo siempre ha jugado duro en ambos lados del campo.

406

physical skilled intelligent what do you think it is it's made

físico hábil inteligente ¿qué crees que es? está hecho

407

him misunderstood I just think anytime someone kind of moves to

él malinterpretado yo solo pienso que cada vez que alguien se mueve a

408

their own beat it makes people uncomfortable he has his own

su propio ritmo hace que la gente se sienta incómoda él tiene el suyo propio

409

voice his own voice he moves to the sound of his own beat it makes people uncomfortable

Su propia voz, se mueve al ritmo de su propio compás, incomoda a la gente.

410

because it's not the what everyone's accustomed to yeah you know

Porque no es a lo que todos están acostumbrados, sí, ya sabes.

411

so you know when it becomes misunderstood then it becomes intimidating

Así que ya sabes, cuando se malinterpreta, se vuelve intimidante.

412

and people look at it as like you know i don't want to be around

y la gente lo ve como si no quisiera estar cerca.

413

that because they feel intimidated by it there's an energy there's an energy

que porque se sienten intimidados por ello hay una energía hay una energía

414

that they don't feel comfortable with right i don't know am i right i'm going to spend some time

que no se sienten cómodos con lo correcto, no sé, ¿tengo razón? Voy a pasar algún tiempo

415

and get an opportunity to to be around them even more i've we've worked out three

y tener la oportunidad de estar aún más cerca de ellos. Hemos resuelto tres cosas.

416

or four times this it's off season, we've been in communication because we want to we're two of the guys on the team

o cuatro veces esto es temporada baja, hemos estado en comunicación porque queremos que seamos dos de los chicos del equipo

417

and obviously kcp's on the team as well um

y obviamente kcp también está en el equipo.

418

but we're two guys on the team that's been through the foxhole

pero somos dos tipos del equipo que hemos pasado por la trinchera

419

and been through the ringer of what it takes from the

y ha pasado por todo lo que implica desde el principio hasta el final.

420

moment we step on the court for training camp to the moment we raise

desde el momento en que pisamos la cancha para el campamento de entrenamiento hasta el momento en que levantamos

421

that larry o 'brien trophy we know what it takes

Ese trofeo Larry O'Brien, sabemos lo que se necesita.

422

so you're just trying to make sure we're on the same page

Así que solo estás tratando de asegurarte de que estamos en la misma sintonía.

423

and have everybody else on the same page but it's been nothing but good, you know, good interaction with JB, you know, and we're going to continue that.

y tener a todos los demás en la misma página, pero no ha sido más que bueno, ya sabes, buena interacción con JB, ya sabes, y vamos a continuar así.

424

What do you, what have you seen or what do you know so far this summer from VJ Edgecombe?

¿Qué has visto o qué sabes hasta ahora de VJ Edgecombe este verano?

425

The intel that I've got from everyone is that this kid is beyond his years.

Por lo que he podido averiguar, este chico es muy maduro para su edad.

426

They say he was actually one of the leaders of the team as a 20 -year -old rookie.

Dicen que, siendo un novato de 20 años, era uno de los líderes del equipo.

427

Wow and not in a disrespectful manner it's not like he was just speaking just to be speaking

Vaya, y no lo decía de forma irrespetuosa, no es que estuviera hablando solo por hablar.

428

or you know thinking he's better than this guy no it's just they say he speaks with an intelligent

o ya sabes, pensando que es mejor que este tipo no, es solo que dicen que habla con inteligencia

429

confidence natural natural exactly and works extremely hard yeah

confianza natural natural exactamente y trabaja extremadamente duro sí

430

and uh he's a flat -out player man yeah i mean

y uh, es un auténtico ligón, sí, quiero decir

431

he's the player he's i mean other than joe's health i mean he's the guy that

él es el jugador que es, quiero decir aparte de la salud de Joe, quiero decir, él es el tipo que

432

You know you kind of put all the pieces together He's a guy

Ya sabes, como que vas juntando todas las piezas. Él es un tipo.

433

that still has leaps to make you know with his athleticism shot making defense, you know

que todavía tiene saltos para hacerte saber con su atletismo, tiro, defensa, ya sabes

434

He obviously that has to come with what the right time the right fit how it all works

Obviamente, eso tiene que venir con el momento adecuado, la persona adecuada y cómo funciona todo.

435

But like the playmaking stuff like

Pero como las cosas de creación de juego como

436

that can continue to grow different types of variety in a shot making

que pueden seguir cultivando diferentes tipos de variedad en una toma

437

So that's exciting to be out of a young player like

Así que es emocionante salir de un jugador joven como

438

that I don't know there's no reason he he shouldn't be able to If he really wants to be

que no sé no hay razón para que él no pueda hacerlo si realmente quiere serlo

439

contending for an all -defensive team this year with his athleticism, with his length, with his speed, if he wants to.

Si quiere, puede aspirar a formar parte del equipo ideal defensivo este año gracias a su atletismo, su envergadura y su velocidad.

440

Obviously, I think JB is going to set the tone with his ability to guard, but I think Vijay should be right there.

Obviamente, creo que JB marcará la pauta con su capacidad defensiva, pero creo que Vijay debería estar a su altura.

441

Just taking all the keys from JB, learning all the nuances because he has all the tools.

Simplemente estoy tomando todas las claves de JB, aprendiendo todos los matices porque él tiene todas las herramientas.

442

People always want you to get your turn or you're, you know, well, why?

La gente siempre quiere que tengas tu turno o, ya sabes, bueno, ¿por qué?

443

Why can't I do it now?

¿Por qué no puedo hacerlo ahora?

444

Especially defense.

Especialmente la defensa.

445

Yeah, especially defense.

Sí, especialmente la defensa.

446

Everyone can play, feature themselves on defense.

Todos pueden jugar, participar activamente en la defensa.

447

And one thing about it, if we can get stops, if we can get stops or create turnovers,

Y una cosa al respecto, si podemos conseguir paradas, si podemos conseguir paradas o crear pérdidas de balón,

448

then it's going to benefit Vijay and Tyrese more than anybody on the team.

Entonces, Vijay y Tyrese se beneficiarán más que nadie en el equipo.

449

Those guys are so fast and so athletic, like, you're not going to be able to catch up to them.

Esos tipos son tan rápidos y tan atléticos que no vas a poder alcanzarlos.

450

You're not going to be able to catch up to those two guys.

No vas a poder alcanzar a esos dos tipos.

451

So, you know, that's going to be important for us.

Así que, ya sabes, eso va a ser importante para nosotros.

452

And that's been, you know, Traditionally, Nick Nurse has liked teams that turn people over.

Y eso ha sido así, ya sabes, tradicionalmente, a Nick Nurse le han gustado los equipos que cambian de jugadores constantemente.

453

The Raptors Championship team, you know, they were in passing lanes.

El equipo campeón de los Raptors, ya sabes, estaban en las líneas de pase.

454

They were running people off the line.

Estaban echando a la gente de la fila.

455

They were speeding people up.

Estaban obligando a la gente a ir más rápido.

456

I think some people have thought it's going to be a challenge for you guys defensively.

Creo que algunas personas han pensado que va a ser un desafío para ustedes en defensa.

457

I think a lot of that comes down to Joe's health.

Creo que gran parte de eso se debe a la salud de Joe.

458

But talk about those strengths.

Pero hablemos de esas fortalezas.

459

I mean, you have, you know, speed.

Quiero decir, tienes, ya sabes, velocidad.

460

You have versatility.

Tienes versatilidad.

461

You have guys that can guard multiple positions.

Tienes jugadores que pueden defender varias posiciones.

462

What do you like about it?

¿Qué es lo que te gusta de ello?

463

With Nick Nurse's kind of system, how do you feel of being a good fit?

Con el sistema que propone Nick Nurse, ¿qué opinas de encajar bien?

464

Yeah, I've been able to be on some really good defensive teams in my career.

Sí, he tenido la oportunidad de formar parte de muy buenos equipos defensivos a lo largo de mi carrera.

465

And I think defense always comes down to the first thing, like a pride.

Y creo que la defensa siempre se reduce a lo primero, como el orgullo.

466

It's a pride thing.

Es una cuestión de orgullo.

467

Like, I'm not going to allow my guy to continue to exploit me or beat me or whatever the case may be.

O sea, no voy a permitir que mi novio siga explotándome, pegándome o lo que sea.

468

Like, there has to be some type of pride in a sense of that.

Es decir, tiene que haber algún tipo de orgullo en ese sentido.

469

And at the end of the day, the best defense never stops the best offense anyways.

Y al fin y al cabo, la mejor defensa nunca logra detener al mejor ataque.

470

And that's okay.

Y eso está bien.

471

But if we can make teams uncomfortable, If we can make teams turn the ball over, if we can make teams or just,

Pero si podemos incomodar a los equipos, si podemos hacer que los equipos pierdan el balón, si podemos hacer que los equipos o simplemente,

472

you know, not be in a rhythm like they're accustomed to be in a rhythm versus other teams, it gives us another opportunity.

Ya sabes, no estar en el ritmo al que están acostumbrados contra otros equipos, nos da otra oportunidad.

473

It gives us more possessions.

Nos da más posesiones.

474

We want to try to win the possession game.

Queremos intentar ganar el partido de posesión.

475

And I think what Coach Nurse and the things that I've seen with his teams in the past, especially with the Raptors team that won a championship, that's what they did.

Y creo que lo que el entrenador Nurse y las cosas que he visto con sus equipos en el pasado, especialmente con el equipo de los Raptors que ganó un campeonato, eso es lo que hicieron.

476

They got up into you.

Se metieron dentro de ti.

477

They got into the passing lane.

Se metieron en el carril de adelantamiento.

478

If you got around one guy, there's another guy helping you you know and obviously you know with OG

Si te juntas con un tipo, hay otro que te ayuda, ya sabes, y obviamente ya sabes, con OG

479

and Pascal and Kyle you know obviously Mark Gasol being on

y Pascal y Kyle ya sabes obviamente Mark Gasol estando en

480

that team like it was a lot of you know high IQ guys as well to be able to do that

ese equipo era como si tuviera muchos, ya sabes, chicos con un coeficiente intelectual alto también para poder hacer eso

481

and and I'm looking forward to seeing you know

y estoy deseando verte pronto.

482

if we can kind of translate a little bit of

si podemos traducir un poco de

483

that as well

eso también

484

because we have the speed we have the athleticism now it's

porque tenemos la velocidad, tenemos el atletismo ahora es

485

about do we have the discipline to actually be able to take

sobre si tenemos la disciplina para realmente poder tomar

486

that on a defensive end and be and hold each other accountable too

que en defensa y ser y responsabilizarse mutuamente también

487

because that's what it's about you gotta you know force force

porque de eso se trata tienes que ya sabes fuerza fuerza

488

guys in the contested twos you know try not to give up straight line drives don't give up corner threes

Chicos en las jugadas disputadas de dos puntos, ya saben, traten de no permitir tiros rectos, no permitan triples a la esquina.

489

and then we got a rebound you know we as fast

y luego tuvimos un rebote, ya sabes, somos rápidos

490

as athletic as we can be we can't do shit

Por muy atléticos que seamos, no podemos hacer nada.

491

if we don't get the rebound you know

Si no conseguimos el rebote, ya sabes

492

so that's important it's an attitude you know

Eso es importante, es una actitud, ¿sabes?

493

if it starts with like being organized

Si empieza con algo como estar organizado

494

and not giving them the easy stuff right if you start to take

y no darles las cosas fáciles, ¿verdad? Si empiezas a tomar

495

that away then you can start to build on how who are we what's our identity

De esa manera, podrás empezar a construir sobre quiénes somos y cuál es nuestra identidad.

496

but I think his Toronto team and I don't know if others agree with this they remind me a little or

pero creo que su equipo de Toronto y no sé si otros están de acuerdo con esto me recuerdan un poco o

497

OKC's defense reminds me a little about Toronto.

La defensa de OKC me recuerda un poco a la de Toronto.

498

Yeah, we're flying around getting people off the line flooding the paint Guys in the gaps using their length

Sí, estamos volando por ahí sacando a la gente de la línea inundando la pintura. Chicos en los huecos usando su longitud.

499

and speed and then

y velocidad y luego

500

that IQ to know like a lot of times It's not

ese CI para saber como muchas veces No es

501

it's not from the shoot around in the morning what the

no es del tiroteo de la mañana lo que

502

rotation is It's just the next guy's on his bike day

La rotación es simplemente el día de la bicicleta del siguiente.

503

and the other guys reading off him and playing and that takes IQ Yeah, not not every team has that type of defensive IQ.

y los otros chicos leyéndolo y jugando y eso requiere CI Sí, no todos los equipos tienen ese tipo de CI defensivo.

504

Yeah, I mean when you have You know, you have Kyle who's one of the smartest guys that I've ever played against, you know kind of at the beginning, at the whole defense thing,

Sí, quiero decir, cuando tienes a Kyle, que es uno de los tipos más inteligentes contra los que he jugado, ya sabes, al principio, en todo el asunto de la defensa,

505

and then you have OG and Kawhi, you know, and Pascal, you know, and those guys, and then you have the smartest of Mark, who I played with, you know, a year, maybe a year or two here with the Lakers.

y luego tienes a OG y Kawhi, ya sabes, y Pascal, ya sabes, y esos muchachos, y luego tienes al más inteligente de Mark, con quien jugué, ya sabes, un año, tal vez uno o dos años aquí con los Lakers.

506

You know what's happening before it actually happens, you know, and that's what helps out the defense, the anticipation of things happening.

Sabes lo que va a pasar antes de que suceda, ¿sabes?, y eso es lo que ayuda a la defensa, la anticipación de lo que va a pasar.

507

We've studied the game.

Hemos estudiado el juego.

508

We've studied our opponent.

Hemos estudiado a nuestro oponente.

509

We know pros and cons.

Conocemos las ventajas y las desventajas.

510

We know what they like to do.

Sabemos lo que les gusta hacer.

511

We know what they don't like to do.

Sabemos lo que no les gusta hacer.

512

Let's force them in stuff that they do not like to do and make them uncomfortable.

Vamos a obligarlos a hacer cosas que no les gustan y a incomodarlos.

513

So, you know, when you compare them to what OKC does, absolutely.

Entonces, ya sabes, cuando los comparas con lo que hace OKC, absolutamente.

514

They make you uncomfortable.

Te hacen sentir incómodo.

515

They make you do these.

Te obligan a hacer esto.

516

They speed you up.

Te aceleran.

517

They want you to play faster because they know that is not to your likeness that you want to play at.

Quieren que juegues más rápido porque saben que ese no es el ritmo al que quieres jugar.

518

You know, you want to play a little bit more methodical.

Ya sabes, quieres jugar de forma un poco más metódica.

519

You want to play a little bit more, you know, smooth.

Quieres tocar un poco más, ya sabes, con suavidad.

520

No, we're going to speed you up.

No, vamos a acelerarte.

521

We're going to force you into this paint.

Vamos a obligarte a entrar en esta pintura.

522

We're going to reach from behind, and then we're going to make you take either contested shots

Vamos a alcanzarte por detrás y luego te vamos a obligar a hacer tiros disputados.

523

Or we want you to go to the rim with Hartenstein and Chet is right there, and they're cleaning everything up.

O queremos que vayas al borde con Hartenstein y Chet está justo ahí, y están limpiando todo.

524

And they're so good at, like, those defenses are so good at, like, when they speed you up, your pitcher closes.

Y son tan buenos en eso, como que esas defensas son tan buenas en eso, como que cuando te aceleran, tu lanzador se cierra.

525

But their pitcher broadens.

Pero su lanzador se amplía.

526

They go, oh, he's in trouble.

Dicen: "Oh, está en problemas".

527

Now they start to pick off your thoughts, and they're ahead of you, and now you're in trouble.

Ahora empiezan a interceptar tus pensamientos, se te adelantan y ahora estás en problemas.

528

And the next pass is deflected, thrown away, and now it's spiraled in your home.

You know you had a six -year run with the Lakers and won a championship.

Sabes que estuviste seis años con los Lakers y ganaste un campeonato.

548

It's the most, if not the most famous, it's one of the top famous franchises in all of sports and won a championship in the Lakers.

Es la franquicia más famosa, si no la más famosa, es una de las más famosas de todos los deportes y ganó un campeonato con los Lakers.

549

You're here six years.

Llevas aquí seis años.

550

It's a chunk of your career.

Es una parte importante de tu carrera.

551

No, no. I mean listen man I came to, a lot of people say you know

No, no. O sea, escucha, hombre, vine, mucha gente dice, ya sabes.

552

when I came to the Lakers like I was just coming to be in Hollywood

Cuando llegué a los Lakers, fue como si simplemente viniera a Hollywood.

553

and movies and shit like that you know but like you know I've always loved a huge challenge you know And,

y películas y cosas así, ¿sabes?, pero como sabes, siempre me han encantado los grandes desafíos, ¿sabes? Y,

554

you know, to come to a historical franchise

ya sabes, para llegar a una franquicia histórica

555

that has some of the greatest basketball players that we've ever seen in the history of sports, to be a part of that,

que tiene algunos de los mejores jugadores de baloncesto que jamás hayamos visto en la historia del deporte, ser parte de eso,

556

one, wasn't like a super -duper big thing to me.

uno, no fue algo súper importante para mí.

557

It was, like, super cool and, like, humbling at the same time.

Fue algo súper genial y, al mismo tiempo, me hizo reflexionar.

558

I think there's a Sports Illustrated, when I signed with the Lakers, a Sports Illustrated cover that they had, like, all the Laker greats on it.

Creo que hay una portada de Sports Illustrated, de cuando firmé con los Lakers, en la que aparecían todas las grandes figuras de los Lakers.

559

And then I was on there, and I was like, holy shit, this is different, you know?

Y entonces estaba allí, y pensé, joder, esto es diferente, ¿sabes?

560

So the expectations around here in Los Angeles when it comes to the Lakers is like, let's win championships.

Así que las expectativas aquí en Los Ángeles con respecto a los Lakers son: vamos a ganar campeonatos.

561

And I heard that and I understood that.

Y lo oí y lo entendí.

562

And for us to be able to win one, that was something I would never forget.

Y el hecho de que pudiéramos ganar uno, eso es algo que nunca olvidaré.

563

Like, obviously, with that group, with that team, for this city, I still think about not being able to do the parade.

Obviamente, con ese grupo, con ese equipo, para esta ciudad, todavía pienso en no poder hacer el desfile.

564

I was going to say, scale of 1 to 10, how much does that bother you?

Iba a preguntar, en una escala del 1 al 10, ¿cuánto te molesta eso?

565

That bothers me.

Eso me molesta.

566

1 to 10, 20.

1 a 10, 20.

567

20. Like, just to be able to celebrate with the Lakers faithful, yeah, absolutely, like, you know, I don't know what the route would have been.

20. O sea, simplemente poder celebrar con los fieles de los Lakers, sí, absolutamente, o sea, ya sabes, no sé cuál habría sido la ruta.

568

I'm thinking go down Olympic, just like all the way down Olympic and end up downtown right by Staples Center.

Estoy pensando en bajar por Olympic, justo al final de Olympic, y terminar en el centro, justo al lado del Staples Center.

569

I might want to call it crypto and shit, I'll call it Staples Center to me.

Puede que quiera llamarlo cripto y esas cosas, pero para mí seguirá siendo el Staples Center.

570

Nah, it would have been super duper dope, man, but yeah, we did that.

No, hubiera sido súper genial, tío, pero sí, lo hicimos.

571

We did that and that banner, that banner is up there.

Lo hicimos y esa pancarta, esa pancarta está ahí arriba.

572

That banner is in that arena for forever, along with the other ones that have been able to go up in the history of the Lakers franchise.

Esa pancarta permanecerá en ese estadio para siempre, junto con las demás que han podido ser izadas en la historia de la franquicia de los Lakers.

573

And L .A.'s home.

Y el hogar de Los Ángeles.

574

Yeah, for sure.

Sí, por supuesto.

575

Really, right?

¿En serio?

576

Yeah, L .A.'s home.

Sí, Los Ángeles es mi hogar.

577

Family laid roots here.

Mi familia echó raíces aquí.

578

Yeah, yeah.

579

Kids kind of grew up here really now yeah I mean

Los niños crecieron aquí, sí, quiero decir.

580

my daughter for sure she don't remember a white winter my boys do somewhat but uh

Mi hija seguro que no recuerda un invierno blanco, mis hijos sí, en cierta medida, pero...

581

but they went to middle school my boys went to middle

pero fueron a la escuela secundaria mis hijos fueron a la secundaria

582

school here high school here obviously my daughters start from kindergarten on up

Aquí hay una escuela secundaria, obviamente mis hijas empiezan desde el jardín de infancia en adelante.

583

so yeah this is this would be home for us for

así que sí, este sería nuestro hogar para

584

the foreseeable future let's talk a little bit about the term super team

En el futuro previsible, hablemos un poco sobre el término "super equipo".

585

because people debate about what is a super team what is

porque la gente debate sobre qué es un super equipo, qué es

586

a super team the reality is I think a super team we should probably all agree

un super equipo la realidad es que creo que un super equipo probablemente todos deberíamos estar de acuerdo

587

that a super team is just a collection of players

que un super equipo es solo una colección de jugadores

588

and personalities that have had a lot of success

y personalidades que han tenido mucho éxito

589

that have either been all -stars or heliocentric parts of their team

que han sido estrellas o piezas clave de su equipo.

590

but the reality is it's not the names it's where are

pero la realidad es que no son los nombres, sino dónde están.

591

they at this stage in their career what have they been

ellos en esta etapa de su carrera ¿qué han sido?

592

doing like some people would say this is super team

Como dirían algunos, esto es un súper equipo.

593

and some people say that's that's not a super team

y algunas personas dicen que eso no es un super equipo

594

because it's been going on for a long long time you've had teams with three

porque ha estado sucediendo durante mucho, mucho tiempo, has tenido equipos con tres

595

or four absolutely great players it's the 60s yes the 60s

o cuatro jugadores absolutamente geniales, son los años 60, sí, los años 60.

596

you know the Lakers Celtics you know you make them super

ya sabes los Lakers Celtics ya sabes que los haces súper

597

teams I mean even teams go under the radar like the

equipos, quiero decir, incluso equipos que pasan desapercibidos como el

598

Lakers who won you know with Gasol Bynum yeah Odom you

Los Lakers que ganaron, ya sabes, con Gasol Bynum, sí, Odom.

599

know like these are teams you could consider super teams

Sepan que estos son equipos que podrían considerarse super equipos.

600

but people don't want to you know

pero la gente no quiere que lo sepas

601

so there's all this some people do some people don't let's talk about let's get past

Entonces, está todo esto de que algunas personas lo hacen y otras no, hablemos de ello, superémoslo.

602

that because I wanted to set the context

eso porque quería establecer el contexto

603

because it's this is a debate

porque esto es un debate

604

that you say that's a super team I say that's not like it there's no real way to define

que dices que es un super equipo yo digo que no es así no hay una forma real de definirlo

605

which each team is of clearly some you know have

que cada equipo es claramente algunos ya sabes tienen

606

that the makings the Warriors team you know a lot of

que los elementos del equipo Warriors ya sabes mucho

607

that teams haven't been healthy

que los equipos no han estado sanos

608

but that's a big issue health age what stage of your career you're at

pero ese es un gran problema de salud edad en qué etapa de tu carrera te encuentras

609

so for me it's more about if you have players

Para mí, se trata más bien de si tienes jugadores.

610

that had a lot of success that have either been the primary

que tuvieron mucho éxito que han sido los principales

611

or secondary ball star all -stars or or better there's

o estrella secundaria de la pelota, estrellas de todos los tiempos o mejor hay

612

so many factors that into building a team and

Hay tantos factores que influyen en la formación de un equipo y

613

so those are some elements you guys are gonna have to i think it's the success to deal with success

Así que esos son algunos elementos que ustedes van a tener que considerar. Creo que es el éxito para lidiar con el éxito.

614

that they have yeah where they are in their careers i mean you could look at you know

que tienen sí, donde están en sus carreras quiero decir podrías mirar, ya sabes

615

and i no one ever brings them up

y nadie los menciona nunca

616

but you could look at like the brooklyn team with you

pero podrías mirar como el equipo de Brooklyn contigo

617

know darren williams joe johnson kevin garnett paul pierce jason terry right you know

conoces a Darren Williams, Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, ¿verdad?

618

that team you know

ese equipo que conoces

619

but they didn't get an opportunity they didn't get an opportunity to really match it

pero no tuvieron la oportunidad, no tuvieron la oportunidad de realmente igualarlo.

620

and they really get an opportunity to play much I think they played maybe one

y realmente tienen la oportunidad de jugar mucho, creo que jugaron tal vez uno.

621

or two years and for the most part they were all past their prime too

o dos años y, en su mayor parte, todos ellos ya habían pasado su mejor momento.

622

so it's like I think it's where you are in your career

Entonces, creo que depende de en qué punto de tu carrera te encuentres.

623

and the success that you're able to have you know you can get guys

y el éxito que puedes tener, sabes que puedes conseguir chicos

624

that come together and and it just doesn't work out you know so but let's go through some of those reasons. So personality.

que se juntan y simplemente no funciona, ¿sabes? Pero vamos a repasar algunas de esas razones. Entonces, la personalidad.

625

You know, what are the mix of personalities?

¿Sabes? ¿Cuál es la mezcla de personalidades?

626

What stage of their career are they in?

¿En qué etapa de su carrera se encuentran?

627

So for example, as great as you are, you're not going to Philly saying, give me the ball and everyone watch me.

Por ejemplo, por muy bueno que seas, no vas a ir a Filadelfia diciendo: "Denme la pelota y que todos me miren".

628

Because you have an understanding like, I can play whatever role.

Porque tienes un entendimiento como ese, puedo desempeñar cualquier papel.

629

And there will be times when I'm, okay, I need the ball now.

Y habrá momentos en los que pensaré: "Vale, necesito el balón ahora".

630

And there will be times when you're like, Tyrese is fine, JB is fine, Joel is fine.

Y habrá momentos en los que pienses: Tyrese está bien, JB está bien, Joel está bien.

631

And you're able to accept, control, mentor, direct from a different position.

Y eres capaz de aceptar, controlar, guiar y dirigir desde una posición diferente.

632

That's not always the case right

Eso no siempre es así, ¿verdad?

633

so I think that's a big part of this is where

así que creo que esa es una gran parte de esto es donde

634

is a player at mentally in his career how are the personalities who's the leader how does it work

¿Es un jugador mentalmente en su carrera? ¿Cómo son las personalidades? ¿Quién es el líder? ¿Cómo funciona?

635

so I think what happens is you a lot of teams

Entonces creo que lo que sucede es que hay muchos equipos

636

that have had multiple players of success it's almost like their

que han tenido múltiples jugadores de éxito es casi como si su

637

personalities are bumping into each other you know how do we

Las personalidades chocan entre sí, ¿sabes cómo lo hacemos?

638

get someone to declare to be the leader right someone is the are the other guys accepting right

Conseguir que alguien se declare líder, ¿alguien es el que acepta los demás?

639

or is it natural right

¿O es un derecho natural?

640

that I you know I'm quite happy not to be the leader he's a natural leader he He can be a leader, whatever it may be.

que yo ya sabes estoy bastante feliz de no ser el líder él es un líder natural él Él puede ser un líder, sea lo que sea.

641

So I think there's so many variables when you put these things together.

Creo que hay muchísimas variables cuando se combinan estas cosas.

642

What do you think with this Philly group, given all, you know, you have such a nice mix.

¿Qué opinas de este grupo de Filadelfia, teniendo en cuenta que, ya sabes, tienen una mezcla muy buena?

643

You know, you have obviously your success, Joel's success, Jalen's in the prime of his career.

Ya sabes, obviamente tienes tu éxito, el éxito de Joel, Jalen está en la plenitud de su carrera.

644

Tyrese is kind of, if not in the prime, ascending to a prime.

Tyrese, si no está en su mejor momento, está en camino de alcanzarlo.

645

Same with Vijay, he's gonna have a great career.

Lo mismo ocurre con Vijay, va a tener una gran carrera.

646

What are the principles that you feel are most important when you go into a season with this new group?

¿Cuáles son los principios que consideras más importantes al comenzar una nueva temporada con este nuevo grupo?

647

Because time is also.

Porque el tiempo también lo es.

648

So I look at your first year in Miami, the Dallas series.

Así que me fijo en tu primer año en Miami, en la serie contra Dallas.

649

Like a lot of it is it's the first time we've been under duress together.

Como suele suceder, es la primera vez que estamos bajo presión juntos.

650

So how do you, with all your experience, approach it?

Entonces, ¿cómo lo abordas tú, con toda tu experiencia?

651

Yeah, I think one, it needs to be what is our mission?

Sí, creo que primero debemos preguntarnos: ¿cuál es nuestra misión?

652

What's our day -to -day mission?

¿Cuál es nuestra misión diaria?

653

You know, is are we bringing our egos to the table, our personal egos to the table for the collective group?

¿Sabes?, ¿estamos aportando nuestros egos, nuestros egos personales, al bien del grupo?

654

or are we bringing our egos to the table for the collective individual?

¿O estamos poniendo nuestros egos sobre la mesa en aras del individuo colectivo?

655

You know because obviously we're all got to this point in our career for a reason.

Ya sabes, porque obviamente todos hemos llegado a este punto de nuestra carrera por una razón.

656

We're all who we are for a reason But if we're coming together for one common goal

Todos somos quienes somos por una razón. Pero si nos unimos por un objetivo común...

657

Now if things happen and transpire we can look each other in the eye

Ahora, si las cosas suceden y ocurren, podemos mirarnos a los ojos.

658

and say okay But this is what we said.

y decir está bien Pero esto es lo que dijimos.

659

This is how we say we don't go about it.

Así es como decimos que no lo hacemos.

660

Mm -hmm, and that's the call.

Mm-hmm, y esa es la llamada.

661

That's accountability you know, so

Eso es responsabilidad, ¿sabes?

662

I am super intrigued

Estoy muy intrigado

663

that I'm looking forward to actually getting in the locker room

que tengo muchas ganas de entrar al vestuario

664

getting into the film room getting into practice kind of listening

entrar en la sala de cine entrar en práctica escuchar

665

dissecting

diseccionando

666

and letting it kind of just go through my database on

y dejar que simplemente pase por mi base de datos en

667

how now i could implement myself unless some joe reese jb somebody come to me

¿Cómo podría implementarme ahora a menos que algún Joe Reese JB o alguien venga a mí?

668

and say hey bro what you doing like we you came here for it to be you you know

y dile oye hermano, ¿qué haces? Como si hubieras venido aquí para ser tú, ¿sabes?

669

and not a sense of like be you 30 points or 29

y no una sensación de que te gusten 30 puntos o 29

670

or whatever we're not we're like we need you to be

o lo que sea que no seamos, somos como si necesitáramos que lo fueras.

671

you we need your voice yeah my voice has always been

Necesitamos tu voz, sí, mi voz siempre ha sido

672

one of my biggest attributes my little league coach always told me like your voice commands

Una de mis mayores cualidades, mi entrenador de la liga infantil siempre me decía que era como tus órdenes por voz.

673

so much attention and people need to hear that so if

tanta atención y la gente necesita escuchar eso, así que si

674

if what i've been hearing from the guys that we're here to to have championship habits,

Si lo que he estado escuchando de los muchachos es que estamos aquí para tener hábitos de campeones,

675

and this is what we're a part of, then there shouldn't be no misunderstanding.

Y si de esto formamos parte, entonces no debería haber ningún malentendido.

676

There will be some pushback, which is okay.

Habrá cierta resistencia, y eso está bien.

677

That's all part of the process.

Todo eso forma parte del proceso.

678

That's all part of the process.

679

It might be some pushback.

Podría haber cierta resistencia.

680

There will be some, you know, there will be some good bets.

Habrá algunas, ya sabes, habrá algunas buenas apuestas.

681

You got to go through shit.

Tienes que pasar por una mierda.

682

And I hope we go through a three -game losing streak, you know.

Y espero que tengamos una racha de tres derrotas consecutivas, ¿sabes?

683

I hope we go through some of those moments where we— Get some shit out on the table.

Espero que pasemos por algunos de esos momentos en los que... pongamos algunas cosas sobre la mesa.

684

Yeah, get some shit out on the table.

Sí, pongamos las cosas claras.

685

We go through a couple games where, you know, it was a two -point game and who was taking the shots, who was making the plays.

Repasamos un par de partidos en los que, ya sabes, la diferencia fue de dos puntos y quién estaba haciendo los tiros, quién estaba haciendo las jugadas.

686

We don't quite know.

No lo sabemos con certeza.

687

We got to figure it out.

Tenemos que averiguarlo.

688

That's all part of it.

Todo eso forma parte de ello.

689

You know, I had the same thing my first year in Miami.

¿Sabes? A mí me pasó lo mismo mi primer año en Miami.

690

I had the same thing my first year back when I went back to Cleveland, you know, myself, Kyrie, and Kev.

Me pasó lo mismo el primer año que volví a Cleveland, ya sabes, yo, Kyrie y Kev.

691

You know, so those are some of the moments

Ya sabes, esos son algunos de los momentos

692

that we have to be able to go through some real

que tenemos que ser capaces de pasar por algo real

693

-life battle moments in the fight In order to know really who we are

-momentos de batalla de la vida en la lucha Para saber realmente quiénes somos

694

and what we want to become we got to peel the onion.

y en lo que queremos convertirnos, tenemos que pelar la cebolla.

695

Yeah, we have to I mean essentially you're saying there's got to be an acceptance.

Sí, tenemos que hacerlo. Es decir, esencialmente estás diciendo que tiene que haber una aceptación.

696

Mm -hmm.

Mm-hmm.

697

That we're here for each other We're here to get better.

Que estamos aquí el uno para el otro. Estamos aquí para mejorar.

698

We have to put our individual kind of agendas Aside and align them.

Tenemos que dejar de lado nuestros intereses individuales y alinearlos.

699

Yeah, the other thing is like we can talk all we want about

Sí, la otra cosa es que podemos hablar todo lo que queramos sobre

700

You know the right way to do this or that

Sabes la forma correcta de hacer esto o aquello.

701

but the ultimate is how do we work every day to get better?

Pero la cuestión fundamental es: ¿cómo trabajamos cada día para mejorar?

702

I have a growth mindset like try to improve every day You can't say like

Tengo una mentalidad de crecimiento, como intentar mejorar cada día. No puedes decir como

703

if we do this this and this we're champs, but if we do this this

si hacemos esto, esto y esto somos campeones, pero si hacemos esto, esto

704

and this we can get better every day We get better at the end of the season

y esto podemos mejorar cada día Mejoramos al final de la temporada

705

if we got better every day.

si mejoráramos cada día.

706

What else can you ask right?

¿Qué más se puede pedir, verdad?

707

Give yourself a chance like the chips lay what they may like you get championship is not guaranteed Obviously, it's been eight different champions right eight straight seasons.

Date una oportunidad como las fichas están dispuestas, puede que te guste ganar el campeonato, no está garantizado. Obviamente, ha habido ocho campeones diferentes, ¿verdad?, ocho temporadas seguidas.

708

It's oh, you know, so we got but what we know What we can control is how we show up to work.

Es oh, ya sabes, entonces tenemos pero lo que sabemos Lo que podemos controlar es cómo nos presentamos al trabajo.

709

It's not gonna always be there a hundred percent physically So when it's not now we have our minds

No siempre va a estar ahí al cien por cien físicamente. Así que cuando no lo esté, tenemos nuestras mentes.

710

if it's you feeling like your mind can't be there that's

Si sientes que tu mente no puede estar ahí, eso es

711

when you got the guy next to you that's

cuando tienes al tipo al lado que es

712

when you got your brother pick you up all right i

cuando tu hermano te recoja, todo bien.

713

got you don't worry about it bro i got you today

No te preocupes, hermano, hoy te tengo cubierto.

714

if we're not on the court and we're just in a film room or

si no estamos en la cancha y estamos en una sala de video o

715

if we ain't in a film room we go on the court we got times on the bus we got

si no estamos en una sala de cine vamos a la cancha tenemos horarios en el autobús tenemos

716

so many moments where we can we can jail

tantos momentos en los que podemos podemos encarcelar

717

you know this the this venom can become a person sure you know

Sabes que este veneno puede convertirse en una persona, seguro que lo sabes.

718

that in a good way it just continues the mesh into what we want to become

que, en el buen sentido, simplemente continúa la conexión con lo que queremos llegar a ser.

719

but it's going to take it's going to take sacrifice it's going to take communication

pero va a requerir sacrificio va a requerir comunicación

720

and it's going to take all of us just understanding okay

y va a requerir que todos entendamos, ¿de acuerdo?

721

what are we really here for you know are we here to just play in a regular season

¿Para qué estamos aquí realmente? ¿Estamos aquí solo para jugar en una temporada regular?

722

and no we're here we're really here to win yeah build a team

y no, estamos aquí, estamos aquí para ganar, sí, para formar un equipo.

723

that can compete at the end we want a team

que pueda competir al final queremos un equipo

724

that can compete for a championship and i think the city of philly wants

que pueda competir por un campeonato y creo que la ciudad de Filadelfia quiere

725

that this is this is the city of champions The Phillies have done it in recent years.

que esta es la ciudad de los campeones Los Phillies lo han hecho en los últimos años.

726

Obviously, the Eagles have done it in recent years.

Obviamente, los Eagles lo han hecho en los últimos años.

727

I'm not a hockey fan, so I don't know about the Flyers.

No soy aficionado al hockey, así que no sé nada de los Flyers.

728

I have no idea.

No tengo ni idea.

729

It's been a minute.

Ha pasado un tiempo.

730

It's been a minute?

¿Ha pasado un tiempo?

731

Okay.

Bueno.

732

And I know it's been a minute for the Sixers since the year before I was born.

Y sé que ha pasado mucho tiempo para los Sixers desde el año anterior a mi nacimiento.

733

Having been a part of a super team with the Lakers and coaching one in Brooklyn,

Habiendo formado parte de un super equipo con los Lakers y entrenado a uno en Brooklyn,

734

there's a lot out of your control, right?

Hay muchas cosas que escapan a tu control, ¿verdad?

735

And the noise, though, is that everything's in your control, right?

Y el ruido, sin embargo, es que todo está bajo tu control, ¿verdad?

736

But, like, coming to play for the Lakers in 2012, you know, Kobe and Powell came off the Olympics, long summers.

741

And it was probably at a time when the game was starting to be

Y probablemente fue en un momento en que el juego estaba empezando a ser

742

really a pace and space league, right? and so yeah maybe some of

realmente una liga de ritmo y espacio, ¿verdad? y entonces sí, tal vez algo de

743

that was in our control maybe some of it you know

Eso estaba bajo nuestro control, tal vez una parte, ¿sabes?

744

wasn't the reality is like you you have to be healthy

¿No era la realidad que es como tú? Tienes que estar sano.

745

we weren't you you have to have a little break

No éramos tú, necesitas un pequeño descanso.

746

or two along the way right and and the same

o dos en el camino, ¿verdad? y lo mismo

747

when i coached in brooklyn like you know at our best we were unbelievable played some great basketball

Cuando entrenaba en Brooklyn, como ya sabes, en nuestro mejor momento éramos increíbles, jugábamos un baloncesto fantástico.

748

but our big three played like depending if it was james

pero nuestros tres grandes jugaron dependiendo de si era James

749

or ben simmons you know our big three i think played like 16 games together in two plus years

o Ben Simmons, ya sabes, nuestros tres grandes creo que jugaron como 16 partidos juntos en más de dos años.

750

so you you know there's always things but you know i think

así que ya sabes que siempre hay cosas pero ya sabes que creo

751

when you look back and at the moment the noise is loud about, well, it's success or fail.

Cuando miras hacia atrás y en el momento en que el ruido es fuerte sobre, bueno, es éxito o fracaso.

752

It's binary.

Es binario.

Por eso creo que gestionar esas situaciones es tan importante.

755

And at the end of the day, if you don't have the bounce, you don't have the luck, you don't have the health, you know, it can undermine everything.

Y al final del día, si no tienes la chispa, no tienes la suerte, no tienes la salud, ya sabes, puede echarlo todo a perder.

756

But being inside those locker rooms, trying to recognize what, how do we get everyone on the same page is the challenge that everyone can buy in.

Pero estar dentro de esos vestuarios, tratando de reconocer qué, cómo lograr que todos estén en sintonía, es el desafío en el que todos pueden participar.

757

And that messaging, like you said, every day, that commitment to trust one another's motives right

Y ese mensaje, como dijiste, todos los días, ese compromiso de confiar en los motivos del otro, ¿verdad?

758

and it has to be some trial and error too some things

y también tiene que haber algo de ensayo y error en algunas cosas.

759

that we may start the season off doing

que podamos comenzar la temporada haciendo

760

that we know okay oh we like that

Eso ya lo sabemos, está bien, nos gusta eso.

761

and then we can you know get to a point where you know December come around we try something else

y luego podemos llegar a un punto en el que, ya sabes, llega diciembre y probamos algo diferente.

762

that don't fit for our team that's not

que no encajan en nuestro equipo eso no es

763

that doesn't fit for our ball club you know there's going to be trial

Eso no encaja con nuestro club, ya sabes que va a haber un juicio.

765

and and Joel has the most chemistry out of anybody They've played together for, what, eight years now or seven years now.

But the rest of us are learning.

Pero el resto de nosotros estamos aprendiendo.

767

I mean, Vijay, one year, obviously he knows the system.

Quiero decir, Vijay, con un año, obviamente conoce el sistema.

768

But other than that, I mean, myself, JB, KCP, Anthony Simons, Dean Wade, like, the rest of us are, we're all coming into it fresh.

Pero aparte de eso, quiero decir, yo, JB, KCP, Anthony Simons, Dean Wade, el resto de nosotros, todos estamos entrando en esto desde cero.

769

We're all coming into it like, okay, we're excited.

Todos estamos entrando en esto como, bueno, estamos emocionados.

770

But we're new to the system, and we're new to the surroundings.

Pero somos nuevos en el sistema y también en este entorno.

771

We're new to Philadelphia.

Somos nuevos en Filadelfia.

772

Well, what I like about that approach, too, is that there's gonna be noise around your team.

Bueno, lo que también me gusta de ese enfoque es que va a haber ruido alrededor de tu equipo.

778

You know, you can hear it already what's happening.

Ya sabes, puedes oír lo que está pasando.

779

So the important thing is to stay focused on the task, and that's a way to simplify and get the noise out.

Lo importante es mantenerse concentrado en la tarea, y esa es una forma de simplificar y eliminar las distracciones.

780

If you don't simplify, if you aren't focused and aligned every day, doing the simple things.

787

Inside the locker room.

Dentro del vestuario.

Whereas this is a nice way to just focus on getting better.

Mientras que esta es una buena manera de concentrarse en mejorar.

791

Es lamentable, pero a la vez muy afortunado.

792

But the noise that comes with me, good, bad, and different, everything, it's a little different. And is it warranted?

Pero el ruido que me acompaña, bueno, malo y diferente, todo, es un poco distinto. ¿Y está justificado?

793

I don't even know but it is it's different but if we have a bunker mentality on like

Ni siquiera lo sé, pero es diferente, pero si tenemos una mentalidad de búnker como...

The only thing that matters is what we preach every day and how we're going to hold each other accountable.

Lo único que importa es lo que predicamos cada día y cómo nos vamos a responsabilizar mutuamente.

811

Boost Your English Speaking with LeBron's Philly Story

What You'll Learn

This video clip is a goldmine for language learning, focusing on two key speaking skills: casual storytelling and conversational fluency. You'll practice how to share personal anecdotes naturally, using phrases like "I actually like Philly though" to add emphasis. Additionally, the dialogue teaches you to maintain a conversational flow—notice how LeBron and the host interrupt and build on each other's points, a crucial skill for real-world speaking practice.

Listen For These Sounds

Connected speech is everywhere in this conversation. Listen for reductions like "Mind the game" (pronounced "Min' the game") and linking in "growing up and being" (blending "up and" into "up'n"). LeBron also uses casual contractions, such as "it was" becoming "it was" (no reduction here, but the rhythm is relaxed) and "I'm like" (a common colloquial phrase). These sounds are key to sounding natural, so focus on how words flow together, not just individual pronunciation.

Say It Like a Native

To mirror LeBron's rhythm, use the shadowing technique: repeat his lines aloud immediately after he speaks, matching his pace and stress. Notice how he stresses words like "aura," "gladiators," and "history" to emphasize emotion. He also uses pauses effectively—after "I was like, oh man"—to build anticipation. For pronunciation practice, mimic his casual tone: shorten "you guys" to "y'all" (if natural) and stretch vowel sounds in "fun" and "cool" to keep the conversation lively. Remember, native speakers don't speak in perfect sentences—they use filler words like "yeah," "man," and "like" to connect ideas. Practice these to make your speech sound more authentic.

By focusing on these elements, you'll turn this conversation into a powerful tool for improving your English speaking skills. Whether you're practicing alone or with a partner, the key is to engage with the language actively—listen, repeat, and refine. Happy learning!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
