Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hi, I'm slum and I know basketball. Today's guest is
a sharp shooting rookie. His journey from being a three
star recruit to getting drafted by the Clippers and becoming
more than just Max his little brother is a story
you won't One of the today on slum Nose is Cam.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Christie, Cam, thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Of course, I had your brother on the pod about
a week or two ago, so it feels really cool
to get two Christie brothers in within a month. So
I'm really excited for that. Let's get into it. As
a kid, what was your basketball game?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Like? I would say it's kind of similar to what
it is now.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Just always been a I'm more of a shooter, been
a good passer and a smart player, stuff like that.
But I think it's always kind of it's kind of
been the same, and I've just gotten better at the
things I've always been good at.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So yeah, and you probably grew right, yeah, just a
little bit. When did you like hit that big gross Berg.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I want to say it was like sophomore year like COVID.
I think because I was, like I think I was
six feet as a freshman in high school, and then
I got like six four as a sophomore, so I
think that was the biggest.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
One than them. It's funny because I feel like so
many NBA players live out their height and I was
reading like these articles about you, and every single one goes,
he's a true six six, like just to like make sure.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, yeah, I like legits, okay, legit Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So continuing on with you as a kid, who was
your favorite NBA team and who was your favorite NBA player?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
My favorite NBA team was the Phoenix Suns, and my
favorite player was Devin Booker.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Okay, but growing up in Illinois, why was there a
connection with the Suns?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I just like Devin Booker. I don't know, I just
like Devin Booker.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And then I've always liked like Arizona is like a
like a spot.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So yeah, okay, did you like vacation there when you.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Were I've been there a couple of times. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
okayeh nice?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Were you a Clipperson, Like, did you like the Clippers
growing up or what was that?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Like? I mean they were just you felt yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So we spoke about Illinois a little bit just now.
But I want to know what it was like for
you growing up in Illinois sort of what the like
AU circuit was like their your experience.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
So I played for the Illinois Wolves growing ups. They're
they're an under armer team and the under armor circuit.
So I played for them starting in eighth grade, played
for them until junior, senior whenever you had to stop. So,
you know, a great program. I still talked to a
lot of my teammates from them, a lot of coaches
from them. So it was, as you know, a great
(02:44):
program for me.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah. How old were you when NIL was implemented? Was
that during all you played?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You or No?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I think I think it started in what twenty twenty one? Yes, okay,
so you had it, So I was.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I was a junior in high school.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So you get any deals like right off the bat, No,
I did not.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
No, I did not know.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well they're coming, yeah, hopefully I like it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Growing up? What was it like to be thought of
as Max's brother, being the younger brother of you know,
Lakers player Max Christie. I feel like that must be
sort of hard to grow up with an older brother
in the NBA. But it seemed to work.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Out for you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, No, I mean it was definitely there were definitely
some some frustrating things about it, but I think there's
also more pros than cons, just because obviously, you know,
we're really close and stuff like that, So.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
It didn't really affect that relationship at all.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
And I think it's just always I mean, it's cool
to be able to say that you know someone in
the NBA, and now we're both siblings in the NBA.
So I think it did end up benefiting me so totally.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Other than Max, what was your first interaction growing up
with the pro athlete?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I want to say, I don't know. I think I
met I met Shaq when I was really young. I
got a picture with him at airport. Yeah, I know
it was very random. He was like triple my size.
But I said, that's probably the first, like ever interaction
I had with like a pro athlete.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I would say, yeah, other than that, was there anyone.
I mean, it doesn't have to be a pro basketball player,
but just an athlete in general. That was sort of
a mentor for you or you think like helped you
get to the place.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
That you are now.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I think it wasn't necessarily like a pro but I
think Dee Brown held me out a lot. Okay, from Illinois,
so he played it on.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
He was really helpful for me and my brother going up,
so he was. Yeah, he was definitely a little bit
of a mentor for us.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, okay, So I want to talk about high school
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You came from a pretty clouded high school class. I
use the word clouded because you know, there's people like
Mikey Williams and Brownie Jane, so I feel like are
the epitome of cloud in basketball. I want to know
what that was like for you, because I'm sure it
was stressful to always have to sort of be in
that shadow, you know, these famous guys in your class.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, I mean it was always It's always funny because
you would, you know, you would talk about it with
my friends and stuff like that. Yes, it's like Brannie
James obviously in the NBA now, but he has had
a lot of fame back then. He still does same
with Mikey and all those guys. I mean, it was
definitely it was interesting for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, but to now kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
You know, for me to be in the NBA and
stuff like that and be on the same stage as
a lot of those guys. I think it's pretty cool,
and I think it shows, you know, my work ethic
and kind of how you don't necessarily need the fame, Yeah,
or to get where you want to go.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
No, totally. And in addition to Bronnie and Mikey, some
other players in your high school class included Jared McCain,
Cody Williams, A J. Johnson, Mantas Buzzellis who's from Illinois
as well. Is there any stories that you have of
interacting with them playing against them in either high school
or a I used.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
To play with Matis all the time actually growing up.
We've known each other for a long time now, so
whenever we see each other, we still say what's up,
checking on each other. But yeah, we used to play
each other all the time. It was a lot of
fun going up against them. So I think it's cool
to see how much he's how much he's progressed. Obviously,
you know, he's done really well for himself so far,
So it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, when the Clippers play the balls in Matos, what
do you think that that's going to be like for you?
Do you think that's gonna be a little bit of
an I made it moment, knowing you've known each other
for so long.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, I think it'll be cool for sure, especially for
the people that have that have been around us, you know,
when we were playing and stuff like that, for them
to actually see both of us on the on the
biggest stage. I think that will definitely be one of
those moments.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, totally. Okay, So I want to talk about your
sort of what your younger self would think about you now.
I always think that that's a really fun question because
especially you, I think you were underrated in high school
and you know, the rankings didn't necessarily show like what
you're going to be now. So what do you think
the kid that was, you know, not even ranked in
the ESPN Top one hundred would think, Oh, now I'm
(06:39):
teammates with James harden Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I think he would be very proud, obviously. I think
he'd be super excited and proud just just see how
how far, like I said, are the work ethic has
got me, regardless of being in my brother's shadow, regardless
of not being the highest frank kid all the time.
But yeah, I know, I think it'd be really happy
with how everything turned out.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So have you gotten any advice from James or Kawhi
really anyone on the Clippers about what it's going to
be like going into your rookie year.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Just to kind of, you know, stay staving kiled. Obviously
there's gonna.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Be a lot of ups and downs, but to you know,
remain true to yourself, not kind of let yourself kind
of fall to the back or anything like that. Just
remain who you are no matter what happens and take
it from there.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, I would say. So.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, So now this is a segment especially for Clippers fans.
So you're the new rookie here in LA on the Clippers,
and so we're gonna play a game, well not really
a game, but we're just gonna talk about you know,
who is Cam Christina to get the Clippers fans. No, okay,
what is your first basketball memory?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I think my first basketball memory is probably when I
started playing first grade. We used to have this league
called like Hyba or whatever. It was like a like
a bunch of yeah yeah, rctly a bunch of young
guys played. My dad was a coach actually, and I
think I remember I remember that we won the championship
for uh, for my first year playing. So I think
that's probably that's probably my first basketball memory.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah growing up, where were you just a basketball player
or did you play other sports as well?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I played flag football up until you know, when I
stopped I think fifth grade or something.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I was very good though, I was very good running back.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Some shocking information what I played flag football up until
last year? Wow that Yeah, you know, high school varsity
girls flag football. I really showed up. I was running
the rout much safer than actually than tackle. Actually, when
I was younger, I like really wanted to play tackle football.
I saw, you know, like all those like movies or
whatever about you know the girl that's on I really
(08:42):
wanted to be that girl. And then I think one
day I was in middle school, I'm watching the football
team play. I'm watching them run, and like, oh, I'm
not gonna do.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah no, it hurts a little bit a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Too much for my Like, yeah, I think you pick
this safely in basketball? What drives you? Not just in basketball,
but in general.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I would say just the the want to be the
best version of myself. I think I kind of owe
it to myself to work as hard as I can
every day and to kind of get the most I
can out of, you know, my potential and out of
my life.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So what is a story or a moment in your
life that you were proud of that you want people
to know? And again, it doesn't have to be basketball related.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I don't know. I think there's a lot of a
lot of moments I'm proud of.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I guess I would say just getting drafted probably, I mean,
that's probably the.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Most proud, most most proud moment I have.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So what was going through your head on draft night?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I was definitely a lot of nerves, for sure, one
of the more nerve wracking days in my life, but
also a lot of excitement just knowing at the end
of it all, I was going to be in the NBA.
So for it to be on the Clippers and in
the same city as Max too, I think.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's super cool. So I think it's really really good
how that all worked out.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's definitely special. What went through your head when they
read the name Clippers and you're like, oh my god,
Max and I same city.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
All that, Yeah, I mean I was I was super excited,
super stoked obviously to have two siblings in the NBA
and then have them be in the same city as well. Yeah,
it was super helpful for both of us and it
made things a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You know, we still talk to each other every day
and see each other all the time, so I think
it's been really cool.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, No, that's an amazing experience. Speaking of the draft,
before it, you described your game as a sharp shooter.
Can you give us more on that? Why was that
the word that you used to describe yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I've just always been I've always been a shooter at
something that I take pride in and going up middle school,
high school, everything like that, I've always I've always liked
to shoot the ball, and I think it's just been
something that I've that I've always been good.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I've had a knack.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
For just finding my shot and stuff like that. So
I say, and that's always translated no matter what level
I've played at.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So that's probably why you know I said that.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, obviously, like you said, you are a good shooter.
But in nights when you aren't shooting, well, what do
you do to stay locked in and not fall into
a slum?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You know, I just have to have to stay involved.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
There's a lot of other ways to impact the game
other than you know, shooting and scoring. You know, there's
a lot of play defense. You can you know, cheer
teammates on rebound, stuff like that. So I think shooting
is probably one of the stronger part of my games,
but I think there's definitely other other facets that I
can definitely impact the game.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And yeah, I mean, it sort of contradicts my own
question here because I'm curious, do you actually believe in slumps? Like,
do you think that's real? As a Warriors fan, I
feel like people always say, oh, you know, Steph's in
a shooting slump whatever, And I always debate with myself
and like, do I believe that he's actually in a
shooting slumper? Is he just like he had a bad game?
Can we just say that, you know?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I think I think there's definitely slumps, but I don't
really I think the really good shooters don't really let
it affect them. I think they kind of just keep
shooting no matter what. They just know that the next
one's going.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
To go in.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So I mean, I would say it's more so just
an off shooting game as opposed to a slump.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, that's mentality.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Don't get any slumps when I'm watching the Clippers and
like if you miss a shot and be like, can't
remember what we said goldfish men, Right, that's my soccer hood.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm really bad at goldfish memory, but I think.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's it's very helpful. It's very helpful.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Unfortunately, we are not goldfish, so we can't actually really
do that, but if we could. All Right, So the
Inuit Dome, you know, is the Clippers new arena. I
feel like it's been all over social media with I
know that there's a mural of all these you know,
high school basketball jerseys in California, and there's like AI
is implemented into the stadium and all this cool stuff.
(12:30):
It's anyway so cool to be in the NBA, But
what's it like to know that your first season gets
to be the first season of the into it.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's really cool.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Obviously when I first got drafted, I had heard about it,
but I obviously learned more about it once I got
here and stuff like that. I mean, it's a it's
a remarkable facility. I mean, because we've been going there
for the past like three weeks or a month, or
whatever that may have been. So the practice facility and
everything is on one spot. So it's it's really cool.
I mean, it's just I feel like you have to
go see it for yourself to kind of understand and
(13:00):
the scope of it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I mean it's yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I think I'm going in October, so.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, no, it's it's wild.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Have you been able to see any of the like
you know, like food stamps or any of the like
sort of touristy things there see the basketball part.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I mean I've seen like they have like the stuff
outside of the arena, like with the outdoor pickup court
and stuff like that. So I've been out there. I've
been to like the team store that's out there and
stuff like that. When I was on the concourse, it
obviously didn't have everything stocked, but I saw like how
like they have this thing where you don't even need
to pay or pay with your walk in and walk
out with your stuff. I don't know how that works,
(13:36):
but uh yeah, I think overall it'll be a great
viewing experience as well.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And speaking of teams stores, like I've always wondered this,
are you going to buy your own jersey? Or you
get it sent to you.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I would hope that I could get one.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, well, I think, like you know, when people have
them hung up in their house, I don't think it's
a big game war and Jersey like I like to
take home.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Don't you go buy it?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You they're they're they're game war. Yeah, I think. I'm mean,
I'm pretty sure they give you let me know.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Because if you don't, that would be I mean, I
feel like it must be. You know, with how big
NBA contracts are, I feel like it'd be a pretty
minimal Yeah, that is true, all right. So let's move
on to your experience in LA right now. I think
it's pretty exciting. I mean, I don't want to speak
for you, but if I was an NBA player, I'd
be pretty excited to get drafted to a city like
(14:25):
La as opposed to some of the other NBA cities.
So I gonna know what your like sort of first
thoughts have been about La so far.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I mean, I love it out here. It's it's very nice.
You know, the weather's nice here right by right.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
By the ocean.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
There's a lot of different torsy things to do and
stuff like that. Uh so I mean, I've I really
enjoyed my time right here so far. I haven't really
found a day where I've been where I've been bored.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So, do you have a favorite LA restaurant yet?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I think I think Max said this too, but they
say Mastros he did, he did?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, Okay, what's the order?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I just get a steak.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You're a steak guy.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Do you have any new hobbies that you picked up
in l A. I feel like a lot of LA
stuff like pickle ball, right, surfing?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No pickleball? No surfing.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I guess I have started golfing a little more, but
I wouldn't say I've picked up anything crazy yet.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Okay, and then you know this is the classic l
A question. Have you had any good celebrity sightings.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I saw Sydney McLauchlin Lavron, I think I.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like the full name.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, yeah, the track I saw her.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, that's cool where here?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I saw around around where my apartment complex. I was
a little bit because I've never really seen a gold
medalist before.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So I was pretty cool coming into the your dumb
I feel like you're going to get to see like
that's probably gonna be cool over and you're like, oh
my god, celebrity. I feel like that would be that
must be crazy. Yeah, going back to your rookie year,
what are some individuals that you have for this upcoming year?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I would say kind of just to to just improve
as a basketball player and as a person. Obviously, as
a rookie, you can't really you're not really guaranteed anything, yeah,
in terms of you know how much you're gonna play
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So it's kind of just not really worrying too much.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
About that, just showing up every day and the main
goal is to really just be a better basketball player
and a better person than I was when I first
got drafted.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So yeah, I like that. So Tyron lou is going
to be your coach this year, have you you know
how much have you gotten to know of him so
far or is there any advice that he's given you
that is released to that.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, I've gotten to know him pretty well so far.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I've talked to him a bunch of times up at
the facility whenever we're practicing and stuff like that, So
I've definitely talked to him a lot. I'd say some
of the advice that he's given me is kind of
just like you know, like what my other vets were
giving me, kind of just to you know, remain true
to myself, not to get flustered or anything like that.
Just remember that I you know, I'm here for a
reason I belong and to just kind of ride with that.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
So yeah, I think also, you know a lot of
rookies probably go into their rookie year knowing nothing. I
think you're in a special situation because your brother sort
of just experienced it. What are you going to take
away sort of from Max's experience that you want to
do the same or what you want to do differently.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I think I've already implemented a lot of things that
that he learned his rookie year and stuff like that.
I think it's been been really helpful for me to
have just in terms of, you know, like I said,
handling all the ups and downs on how to handle
the adversity and stuff like that, and just being more
prepared for what to kind of what to expect as
a rookie.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So yeah, what do you think it's going to be
like the first time you play against Max?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I think it'd be really cool. I'm definitely looking forward
to it. But we don't play each other until like
I think January. Really, yeah, we played each other. Yeah,
wait a little bit, But no, I think it'll be
really cool to definitely be on be on the same
floor as him at the NBA level. I think it
will be a really cool experience, So I'm looking forward
to that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
That's special.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Other than Max, who else are you looking forward to playing?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And if you're looking forward to playing Devin Booker and
the Suns, obviously Steph and all those guys, I mean.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Really really everybody, honestly.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I mean there's a lot of a lot of great
players in the league that I've definitely admired and grown
up watching. So I'm really excited to just go out
there and play against everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Really, yeah, how do you think that you're going to
like refrain from being starstruck on the court, Like when
Steph drilling up the ball. I can't imagine it's being like, wait,
that's Steph Curry.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
No, there's definitely gonna be a time where I'm like,
oh my goodness, like this is this is really happening.
But I think it'll only last for a little bit
because at the end of the day, it is just basketball.
But no, it'll definitely be one of those times during
and then definitely after the game I'll be like wow,
like I really just did that.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So no, for sure, have.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You been given your rookie duties yet by your team
or like is that real? And if so, what are they?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I have not been given any rookie duties yet, but yes,
I know for a fact that they Okay, they're coming.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
They are real, Yes, and they are coming.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
What do you do you have like a hunch of
what they're going to be.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I would assume it'd probably just be like buying people
food for the plane or buying cards or stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I hope it's nothing too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
DeAndre Jordan told me his story where he I think
wore like a door the Explore backpack maybe filled it
with like smelly socks. So and that was the slippers
you know.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
So yeah, No, Actually Kobe who got drafted last year,
said he had to carry like a backpack like that.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
He didn't say anything about the socks though.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Okay, but I know this is like a thing at
a lot of high schools where seniors in high school
where the like Spider Man backpack. Y. Yeah, I feel
like you could make it onto league fits with like
a door the Explorer.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah, no, honestly, I don't think that's too bad at all. Yeah,
I definitely will not complain about that one.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'll take it like.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I'm excited to see that. Let's see how you style
out there like that? Uh? Is there anyone in the
league right now that you think is underrated and you
want to show love to Max Christy? Okay, very sweet,
but other than your brother, can you give us another answer?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Let's see who's underrated? Obviously I grew up or I
work out of the same place as Jalen Brunson. He's
no longer underrated. Yeah, well, but I think he was before.
For who else is there? I'd say, like.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Maybe like a like a Grayson Allen, I would say, obviously,
I think.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You really are sun Set.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Okay, I think he's got a lot better.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He's a really good shooter, so I think he's probably
one of the one underrated players.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I like that. I feel like people always say pretty
generic things, but I think that Grayson pull is a
good one. I grew up, you know, watching Duke, so
I feel like I've always.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Really liked Tracy. That's a good one. You know Ball.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm glad you know.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Cas.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What do you think you're gonna buy with your first
NBA check?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I mean I don't, I don't know. I already bought
a car. Does that count?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I guess yes, that counts.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Okay, what type of car?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
I bought? A pors Tie CANi.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I see you.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Okay, it hurt a little bit, but it had to
be done.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But once like that actual check comes out, what do
you think, like, are you gonna like go to like
Walmart and like do the shock thing where he bought
everything at the.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Store now I will not Okay, No, Well.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I have like a shopping list, like a wish list,
so I can send it to you when you get
to check, Like please feel free just like an Amazon
wish list to check off the things you want.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I really appre that. That's great. All right, Cam, It's
been a great interview and I want to finish it
off with a little cam Christi trivia. Okay, So if
you're a guy, you're definitely a smart guy who thinks
you probably know a lot about yourself, right, but Sloane
also knows. Okay, I think Sloane may know. This is
really weird hearing me talking the third person, But I
(21:30):
think I may know more than cam Christie about Camp Christie.
So I'm going to ask you some questions and let's
see how you do. Okay, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
You were picked forty sixth in the twenty twenty four
NBA draft. Who was picked forty fifth? And who was
picked forty seven?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I think was Antonio Reeves? Yes, forty seven?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yes, correct?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, one point h forty five?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Jamal was picked.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Okay, yes, okay. And then for so right now we're
at two points. This is a bonus. I'm curious if
you know where they went to college.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Jamal went to Houston, Antonio went to Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, wow, Okay, maybe I underestimated your Christie knowledge.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
How many current NBA players went to the University of Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Current two? Yeah? Me and a mir.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Okay, yes, So for those of you who don't know,
a Mere Coffee, who's on the Clippers as well, also
is the only the NBA player who went to Minnesota.
So when I was writing these questions, I went to
Chatchibt and I was like, chat, what are the odds
that out of everyone in the NBA, and out of
all the people that ever went to Minnesota, the only
two current ones in the league are on Minnesota. And
(22:46):
I wanted it to give me a number, and then
I was to have you guess, and it was like, oh,
unfortunately I can't do that. I was like, okay, what's
the point of chatchibt? But that would have been a
fun question anyways, So I wonder what you think. Are
you a.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Math guy or I mean, it's guys, it's gotta be weirdridiculously,
I mean, very bad. And it was funny because Dan Ortou,
who also went to Minnesota, got drafted by the Clippers
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Wow, look at that. Maybe there's like a weird correlation.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yes, that's so funny. Okay, how many points did you
score and who did you play against in your collegiate debut?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
U t s A eighteen points?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Oh my gosh, okay, you may be on the best
role there is. I'm actually okay, here's my other question.
You missed your what was supposed to be your first
college game. I read online it was with an illness.
What was that mystery illness that led you to the
Zuerst game?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
It was a fake positive diagnosis of mono. It was fake.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No way, no symptoms. That sucks. That's not fun to
get right before you're that's crazy unfortunate. Okay, next question,
let's see if you can keep going. How many assists
did you average as a senior in high school?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
It was other five or four?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Well, I can't tell you. You have to guess.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I'm gonna go five.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Okay, it was four, it was, but I don't know.
I mean, you still have Okay, four points five points six,
you're at seven. I mean, that could be the best
anyone's ever done. You should like go home and flex
to your brother. You did better than he did on
ye Okay, okay. In your college your only college season
at Minnesota, what percentage did you shoot from three? And
(24:21):
you know, we need to go to the third decimal place,
like we need to be very precise.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I want to say it was thirty nine point one.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Oh my god, yes, wow. Okay, Okay, let's see how
well you know your family?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
What pick was your brother in the twenty Okay, maybe
I've made these questions.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well, this is the last question and we'll see who
this is. So sorry, I'm gonna butcher this name from
or Rich Chomache, who was drafted by the Raptors, will
be the youngest NBA player this season. How many NBA
players this season are older than you?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Are older than me? Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Wait? Sorry, no wait, I need to rephrase that way everyone, Okay,
how many?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Wait, you're the okay, in the list of the youngest?
What ranking are you?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I think I think I was.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I was the youngest American born prospect to get drafted
this year, and I think there were I think there
were three people European, so I think I'm the fourth,
the fourth.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You're the fifth youngest, fifth young player, and I don't
remember who it was. But what's funny is that there's
two second youngest players because they randomly have the same
exact birthday. Camp. We are going to do a little
(25:57):
rapid fire section right now to continue you to get
to know you for those Clippers fans out there, for

Game of Thrones number two, Prison Break number three, Like.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I've never seen any of those. It's funny because we're

your TV show choice, it really seems like there's a
big age.

Media, So okay, like that, Okay, if you were to

Okay, it's like a Netflix show, Like it's on.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Netflix, like Outer Banks or something. Okay, I see why

But but no, that's not it. It's like Okay, I
don't even know if you know it. I'm gonna give
you one more hit. It's okay, it's set in England.

Never I think I have heard of that. Actually, yeah,
I'm sure you have.
Speaker 2 (30:16):

Speaker 2 (30:53):
I was having a good time, like you know when
you're on the headset. Well sometimes okay, sometimes I obviously
play with my friends. Okay, I need to preface that
first and next part doesn't sound sad. Sometimes it'd be
so funny when you go on the mic and then
you talk to the random people.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Oh yeah, in the game chat.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I'd always hope too that I got paired with Ninja.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is like a rapper or pop like.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I guess like I have a few, but the person
I have in mind is like a pop person. It
fits into your outer bank stereotype. That's why I was
curious if you were going to fit into the outer dump,

more than just Max his little brother is a story
you won't One of the today on slum Nose is Cam.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Christie, Cam, thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Of course, I had your brother on the pod about
a week or two ago, so it feels really cool
to get two Christie brothers in within a month. So
I'm really excited for that. Let's get into it. As
a kid, what was your basketball game?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Like? I would say it's kind of similar to what
it is now.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Just always been a I'm more of a shooter, been
a good passer and a smart player, stuff like that.
But I think it's always kind of it's kind of
been the same, and I've just gotten better at the
things I've always been good at.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So yeah, and you probably grew right, yeah, just a
little bit. When did you like hit that big gross Berg.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I want to say it was like sophomore year like COVID.
I think because I was, like I think I was
six feet as a freshman in high school, and then
I got like six four as a sophomore, so I
think that was the biggest.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
One than them. It's funny because I feel like so
many NBA players live out their height and I was
reading like these articles about you, and every single one goes,
he's a true six six, like just to like make sure.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, yeah, I like legits, okay, legit Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So continuing on with you as a kid, who was
your favorite NBA team and who was your favorite NBA player?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
My favorite NBA team was the Phoenix Suns, and my
favorite player was Devin Booker.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Okay, but growing up in Illinois, why was there a
connection with the Suns?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I just like Devin Booker. I don't know, I just
like Devin Booker.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And then I've always liked like Arizona is like a
like a spot.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So yeah, okay, did you like vacation there when you.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Were I've been there a couple of times. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
okayeh nice?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Were you a Clipperson, Like, did you like the Clippers
growing up or what was that?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Like? I mean they were just you felt yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So we spoke about Illinois a little bit just now.
But I want to know what it was like for
you growing up in Illinois sort of what the like
AU circuit was like their your experience.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
So I played for the Illinois Wolves growing ups. They're
they're an under armer team and the under armor circuit.
So I played for them starting in eighth grade, played
for them until junior, senior whenever you had to stop. So,
you know, a great program. I still talked to a
lot of my teammates from them, a lot of coaches
from them. So it was, as you know, a great
(02:44):
program for me.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah. How old were you when NIL was implemented? Was
that during all you played?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You or No?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I think I think it started in what twenty twenty one? Yes, okay,
so you had it, So I was.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I was a junior in high school.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So you get any deals like right off the bat, No,
I did not.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
No, I did not know.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well they're coming, yeah, hopefully I like it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Growing up? What was it like to be thought of
as Max's brother, being the younger brother of you know,
Lakers player Max Christie. I feel like that must be
sort of hard to grow up with an older brother
in the NBA. But it seemed to work.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Out for you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, No, I mean it was definitely there were definitely
some some frustrating things about it, but I think there's
also more pros than cons, just because obviously, you know,
we're really close and stuff like that, So.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
It didn't really affect that relationship at all.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
And I think it's just always I mean, it's cool
to be able to say that you know someone in
the NBA, and now we're both siblings in the NBA.
So I think it did end up benefiting me so totally.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Other than Max, what was your first interaction growing up
with the pro athlete?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I want to say, I don't know. I think I
met I met Shaq when I was really young. I
got a picture with him at airport. Yeah, I know
it was very random. He was like triple my size.
But I said, that's probably the first, like ever interaction
I had with like a pro athlete.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I would say, yeah, other than that, was there anyone.
I mean, it doesn't have to be a pro basketball player,
but just an athlete in general. That was sort of
a mentor for you or you think like helped you
get to the place.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
That you are now.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I think it wasn't necessarily like a pro but I
think Dee Brown held me out a lot. Okay, from Illinois,
so he played it on.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
He was really helpful for me and my brother going up,
so he was. Yeah, he was definitely a little bit
of a mentor for us.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, okay, So I want to talk about high school
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You came from a pretty clouded high school class. I
use the word clouded because you know, there's people like
Mikey Williams and Brownie Jane, so I feel like are
the epitome of cloud in basketball. I want to know
what that was like for you, because I'm sure it
was stressful to always have to sort of be in
that shadow, you know, these famous guys in your class.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, I mean it was always It's always funny because
you would, you know, you would talk about it with
my friends and stuff like that. Yes, it's like Brannie
James obviously in the NBA now, but he has had
a lot of fame back then. He still does same
with Mikey and all those guys. I mean, it was
definitely it was interesting for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, but to now kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
You know, for me to be in the NBA and
stuff like that and be on the same stage as
a lot of those guys. I think it's pretty cool,
and I think it shows, you know, my work ethic
and kind of how you don't necessarily need the fame, Yeah,
or to get where you want to go.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
No, totally. And in addition to Bronnie and Mikey, some
other players in your high school class included Jared McCain,
Cody Williams, A J. Johnson, Mantas Buzzellis who's from Illinois
as well. Is there any stories that you have of
interacting with them playing against them in either high school
or a I used.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
To play with Matis all the time actually growing up.
We've known each other for a long time now, so
whenever we see each other, we still say what's up,
checking on each other. But yeah, we used to play
each other all the time. It was a lot of
fun going up against them. So I think it's cool
to see how much he's how much he's progressed. Obviously,
you know, he's done really well for himself so far,
So it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, when the Clippers play the balls in Matos, what
do you think that that's going to be like for you?
Do you think that's gonna be a little bit of
an I made it moment, knowing you've known each other
for so long.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, I think it'll be cool for sure, especially for
the people that have that have been around us, you know,
when we were playing and stuff like that, for them
to actually see both of us on the on the
biggest stage. I think that will definitely be one of
those moments.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, totally. Okay, So I want to talk about your
sort of what your younger self would think about you now.
I always think that that's a really fun question because
especially you, I think you were underrated in high school
and you know, the rankings didn't necessarily show like what
you're going to be now. So what do you think
the kid that was, you know, not even ranked in
the ESPN Top one hundred would think, Oh, now I'm
(06:39):
teammates with James harden Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I think he would be very proud, obviously. I think
he'd be super excited and proud just just see how
how far, like I said, are the work ethic has
got me, regardless of being in my brother's shadow, regardless
of not being the highest frank kid all the time.
But yeah, I know, I think it'd be really happy
with how everything turned out.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So have you gotten any advice from James or Kawhi
really anyone on the Clippers about what it's going to
be like going into your rookie year.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Just to kind of, you know, stay staving kiled. Obviously
there's gonna.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Be a lot of ups and downs, but to you know,
remain true to yourself, not kind of let yourself kind
of fall to the back or anything like that. Just
remain who you are no matter what happens and take
it from there.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, I would say. So.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, So now this is a segment especially for Clippers fans.
So you're the new rookie here in LA on the Clippers,
and so we're gonna play a game, well not really
a game, but we're just gonna talk about you know,
who is Cam Christina to get the Clippers fans. No, okay,
what is your first basketball memory?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I think my first basketball memory is probably when I
started playing first grade. We used to have this league
called like Hyba or whatever. It was like a like
a bunch of yeah yeah, rctly a bunch of young
guys played. My dad was a coach actually, and I
think I remember I remember that we won the championship
for uh, for my first year playing. So I think
that's probably that's probably my first basketball memory.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah growing up, where were you just a basketball player
or did you play other sports as well?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I played flag football up until you know, when I
stopped I think fifth grade or something.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I was very good though, I was very good running back.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Some shocking information what I played flag football up until
last year? Wow that Yeah, you know, high school varsity
girls flag football. I really showed up. I was running
the rout much safer than actually than tackle. Actually, when
I was younger, I like really wanted to play tackle football.
I saw, you know, like all those like movies or
whatever about you know the girl that's on I really
(08:42):
wanted to be that girl. And then I think one
day I was in middle school, I'm watching the football
team play. I'm watching them run, and like, oh, I'm
not gonna do.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah no, it hurts a little bit a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Too much for my Like, yeah, I think you pick
this safely in basketball? What drives you? Not just in basketball,
but in general.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I would say just the the want to be the
best version of myself. I think I kind of owe
it to myself to work as hard as I can
every day and to kind of get the most I
can out of, you know, my potential and out of
my life.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So what is a story or a moment in your
life that you were proud of that you want people
to know? And again, it doesn't have to be basketball related.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I don't know. I think there's a lot of a
lot of moments I'm proud of.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I guess I would say just getting drafted probably, I mean,
that's probably the.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Most proud, most most proud moment I have.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So what was going through your head on draft night?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I was definitely a lot of nerves, for sure, one
of the more nerve wracking days in my life, but
also a lot of excitement just knowing at the end
of it all, I was going to be in the NBA.
So for it to be on the Clippers and in
the same city as Max too, I think.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's super cool. So I think it's really really good
how that all worked out.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's definitely special. What went through your head when they
read the name Clippers and you're like, oh my god,
Max and I same city.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
All that, Yeah, I mean I was I was super excited,
super stoked obviously to have two siblings in the NBA
and then have them be in the same city as well. Yeah,
it was super helpful for both of us and it
made things a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You know, we still talk to each other every day
and see each other all the time, so I think
it's been really cool.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, No, that's an amazing experience. Speaking of the draft,
before it, you described your game as a sharp shooter.
Can you give us more on that? Why was that
the word that you used to describe yourself.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I've just always been I've always been a shooter at
something that I take pride in and going up middle school,
high school, everything like that, I've always I've always liked
to shoot the ball, and I think it's just been
something that I've that I've always been good.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I've had a knack.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
For just finding my shot and stuff like that. So
I say, and that's always translated no matter what level
I've played at.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
So that's probably why you know I said that.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, obviously, like you said, you are a good shooter.
But in nights when you aren't shooting, well, what do
you do to stay locked in and not fall into
a slum?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You know, I just have to have to stay involved.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
There's a lot of other ways to impact the game
other than you know, shooting and scoring. You know, there's
a lot of play defense. You can you know, cheer
teammates on rebound, stuff like that. So I think shooting
is probably one of the stronger part of my games,
but I think there's definitely other other facets that I
can definitely impact the game.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And yeah, I mean, it sort of contradicts my own
question here because I'm curious, do you actually believe in slumps? Like,
do you think that's real? As a Warriors fan, I
feel like people always say, oh, you know, Steph's in
a shooting slump whatever, And I always debate with myself
and like, do I believe that he's actually in a
shooting slumper? Is he just like he had a bad game?
Can we just say that, you know?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I think I think there's definitely slumps, but I don't
really I think the really good shooters don't really let
it affect them. I think they kind of just keep
shooting no matter what. They just know that the next
one's going.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
To go in.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So I mean, I would say it's more so just
an off shooting game as opposed to a slump.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, that's mentality.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Don't get any slumps when I'm watching the Clippers and
like if you miss a shot and be like, can't
remember what we said goldfish men, Right, that's my soccer hood.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm really bad at goldfish memory, but I think.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's it's very helpful. It's very helpful.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Unfortunately, we are not goldfish, so we can't actually really
do that, but if we could. All Right, So the
Inuit Dome, you know, is the Clippers new arena. I
feel like it's been all over social media with I
know that there's a mural of all these you know,
high school basketball jerseys in California, and there's like AI
is implemented into the stadium and all this cool stuff.
(12:30):
It's anyway so cool to be in the NBA, But
what's it like to know that your first season gets
to be the first season of the into it.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's really cool.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Obviously when I first got drafted, I had heard about it,
but I obviously learned more about it once I got
here and stuff like that. I mean, it's a it's
a remarkable facility. I mean, because we've been going there
for the past like three weeks or a month, or
whatever that may have been. So the practice facility and
everything is on one spot. So it's it's really cool.
I mean, it's just I feel like you have to
go see it for yourself to kind of understand and
(13:00):
the scope of it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I mean it's yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I think I'm going in October, so.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, no, it's it's wild.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Have you been able to see any of the like
you know, like food stamps or any of the like
sort of touristy things there see the basketball part.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I mean I've seen like they have like the stuff
outside of the arena, like with the outdoor pickup court
and stuff like that. So I've been out there. I've
been to like the team store that's out there and
stuff like that. When I was on the concourse, it
obviously didn't have everything stocked, but I saw like how
like they have this thing where you don't even need
to pay or pay with your walk in and walk
out with your stuff. I don't know how that works,
(13:36):
but uh yeah, I think overall it'll be a great
viewing experience as well.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And speaking of teams stores, like I've always wondered this,
are you going to buy your own jersey? Or you
get it sent to you.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I would hope that I could get one.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, well, I think, like you know, when people have
them hung up in their house, I don't think it's
a big game war and Jersey like I like to
take home.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Don't you go buy it?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You they're they're they're game war. Yeah, I think. I'm mean,
I'm pretty sure they give you let me know.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Because if you don't, that would be I mean, I
feel like it must be. You know, with how big
NBA contracts are, I feel like it'd be a pretty
minimal Yeah, that is true, all right. So let's move
on to your experience in LA right now. I think
it's pretty exciting. I mean, I don't want to speak
for you, but if I was an NBA player, I'd
be pretty excited to get drafted to a city like
(14:25):
La as opposed to some of the other NBA cities.
So I gonna know what your like sort of first
thoughts have been about La so far.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I mean, I love it out here. It's it's very nice.
You know, the weather's nice here right by right.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
By the ocean.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
There's a lot of different torsy things to do and
stuff like that. Uh so I mean, I've I really
enjoyed my time right here so far. I haven't really
found a day where I've been where I've been bored.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So, do you have a favorite LA restaurant yet?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I think I think Max said this too, but they
say Mastros he did, he did?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, Okay, what's the order?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I just get a steak.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You're a steak guy.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Do you have any new hobbies that you picked up
in l A. I feel like a lot of LA
stuff like pickle ball, right, surfing?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No pickleball? No surfing.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I guess I have started golfing a little more, but
I wouldn't say I've picked up anything crazy yet.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Okay, and then you know this is the classic l
A question. Have you had any good celebrity sightings.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
I saw Sydney McLauchlin Lavron, I think I.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like the full name.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, yeah, the track I saw her.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, that's cool where here?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I saw around around where my apartment complex. I was
a little bit because I've never really seen a gold
medalist before.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So I was pretty cool coming into the your dumb
I feel like you're going to get to see like
that's probably gonna be cool over and you're like, oh
my god, celebrity. I feel like that would be that
must be crazy. Yeah, going back to your rookie year,
what are some individuals that you have for this upcoming year?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I would say kind of just to to just improve
as a basketball player and as a person. Obviously, as
a rookie, you can't really you're not really guaranteed anything, yeah,
in terms of you know how much you're gonna play
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So it's kind of just not really worrying too much.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
About that, just showing up every day and the main
goal is to really just be a better basketball player
and a better person than I was when I first
got drafted.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So yeah, I like that. So Tyron lou is going
to be your coach this year, have you you know
how much have you gotten to know of him so
far or is there any advice that he's given you
that is released to that.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, I've gotten to know him pretty well so far.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I've talked to him a bunch of times up at
the facility whenever we're practicing and stuff like that, So
I've definitely talked to him a lot. I'd say some
of the advice that he's given me is kind of
just like you know, like what my other vets were
giving me, kind of just to you know, remain true
to myself, not to get flustered or anything like that.
Just remember that I you know, I'm here for a
reason I belong and to just kind of ride with that.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
So yeah, I think also, you know a lot of
rookies probably go into their rookie year knowing nothing. I
think you're in a special situation because your brother sort
of just experienced it. What are you going to take
away sort of from Max's experience that you want to
do the same or what you want to do differently.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I think I've already implemented a lot of things that
that he learned his rookie year and stuff like that.
I think it's been been really helpful for me to
have just in terms of, you know, like I said,
handling all the ups and downs on how to handle
the adversity and stuff like that, and just being more
prepared for what to kind of what to expect as
a rookie.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So yeah, what do you think it's going to be
like the first time you play against Max?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I think it'd be really cool. I'm definitely looking forward
to it. But we don't play each other until like
I think January. Really, yeah, we played each other. Yeah,
wait a little bit, But no, I think it'll be
really cool to definitely be on be on the same
floor as him at the NBA level. I think it
will be a really cool experience, So I'm looking forward
to that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
That's special.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Other than Max, who else are you looking forward to playing?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And if you're looking forward to playing Devin Booker and
the Suns, obviously Steph and all those guys, I mean.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Really really everybody, honestly.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I mean there's a lot of a lot of great
players in the league that I've definitely admired and grown
up watching. So I'm really excited to just go out
there and play against everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Really, yeah, how do you think that you're going to
like refrain from being starstruck on the court, Like when
Steph drilling up the ball. I can't imagine it's being like, wait,
that's Steph Curry.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
No, there's definitely gonna be a time where I'm like,
oh my goodness, like this is this is really happening.
But I think it'll only last for a little bit
because at the end of the day, it is just basketball.
But no, it'll definitely be one of those times during
and then definitely after the game I'll be like wow,
like I really just did that.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So no, for sure, have.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You been given your rookie duties yet by your team
or like is that real? And if so, what are they?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I have not been given any rookie duties yet, but yes,
I know for a fact that they Okay, they're coming.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
They are real, Yes, and they are coming.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
What do you do you have like a hunch of
what they're going to be.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I would assume it'd probably just be like buying people
food for the plane or buying cards or stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I hope it's nothing too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
DeAndre Jordan told me his story where he I think
wore like a door the Explore backpack maybe filled it
with like smelly socks. So and that was the slippers
you know.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
So yeah, No, Actually Kobe who got drafted last year,
said he had to carry like a backpack like that.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
He didn't say anything about the socks though.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Okay, but I know this is like a thing at
a lot of high schools where seniors in high school
where the like Spider Man backpack. Y. Yeah, I feel
like you could make it onto league fits with like
a door the Explorer.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah, no, honestly, I don't think that's too bad at all. Yeah,
I definitely will not complain about that one.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'll take it like.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I'm excited to see that. Let's see how you style
out there like that? Uh? Is there anyone in the
league right now that you think is underrated and you
want to show love to Max Christy? Okay, very sweet,
but other than your brother, can you give us another answer?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Let's see who's underrated? Obviously I grew up or I
work out of the same place as Jalen Brunson. He's
no longer underrated. Yeah, well, but I think he was before.
For who else is there? I'd say, like.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Maybe like a like a Grayson Allen, I would say, obviously,
I think.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You really are sun Set.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Okay, I think he's got a lot better.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
He's a really good shooter, so I think he's probably
one of the one underrated players.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I like that. I feel like people always say pretty
generic things, but I think that Grayson pull is a
good one. I grew up, you know, watching Duke, so
I feel like I've always.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Really liked Tracy. That's a good one. You know Ball.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm glad you know.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Cas.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What do you think you're gonna buy with your first
NBA check?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I mean I don't, I don't know. I already bought
a car. Does that count?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I guess yes, that counts.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Okay, what type of car?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
I bought? A pors Tie CANi.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I see you.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Okay, it hurt a little bit, but it had to
be done.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But once like that actual check comes out, what do
you think, like, are you gonna like go to like
Walmart and like do the shock thing where he bought
everything at the.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Store now I will not Okay, No, Well.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I have like a shopping list, like a wish list,
so I can send it to you when you get
to check, Like please feel free just like an Amazon
wish list to check off the things you want.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I really appre that. That's great. All right, Cam, It's
been a great interview and I want to finish it
off with a little cam Christi trivia. Okay, So if
you're a guy, you're definitely a smart guy who thinks
you probably know a lot about yourself, right, but Sloane
also knows. Okay, I think Sloane may know. This is
really weird hearing me talking the third person, But I
(21:30):
think I may know more than cam Christie about Camp Christie.
So I'm going to ask you some questions and let's
see how you do. Okay, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
You were picked forty sixth in the twenty twenty four
NBA draft. Who was picked forty fifth? And who was
picked forty seven?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I think was Antonio Reeves? Yes, forty seven?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yes, correct?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, one point h forty five?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Jamal was picked.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Okay, yes, okay. And then for so right now we're
at two points. This is a bonus. I'm curious if
you know where they went to college.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Jamal went to Houston, Antonio went to Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, wow, Okay, maybe I underestimated your Christie knowledge.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
How many current NBA players went to the University of Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Current two? Yeah? Me and a mir.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Okay, yes, So for those of you who don't know,
a Mere Coffee, who's on the Clippers as well, also
is the only the NBA player who went to Minnesota.
So when I was writing these questions, I went to
Chatchibt and I was like, chat, what are the odds
that out of everyone in the NBA, and out of
all the people that ever went to Minnesota, the only
two current ones in the league are on Minnesota. And
(22:46):
I wanted it to give me a number, and then
I was to have you guess, and it was like, oh,
unfortunately I can't do that. I was like, okay, what's
the point of chatchibt? But that would have been a
fun question anyways, So I wonder what you think. Are
you a.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Math guy or I mean, it's guys, it's gotta be weirdridiculously,
I mean, very bad. And it was funny because Dan Ortou,
who also went to Minnesota, got drafted by the Clippers
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Wow, look at that. Maybe there's like a weird correlation.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yes, that's so funny. Okay, how many points did you
score and who did you play against in your collegiate debut?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
U t s A eighteen points?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Oh my gosh, okay, you may be on the best
role there is. I'm actually okay, here's my other question.
You missed your what was supposed to be your first
college game. I read online it was with an illness.
What was that mystery illness that led you to the
Zuerst game?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
It was a fake positive diagnosis of mono. It was fake.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No way, no symptoms. That sucks. That's not fun to
get right before you're that's crazy unfortunate. Okay, next question,
let's see if you can keep going. How many assists
did you average as a senior in high school?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
It was other five or four?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Well, I can't tell you. You have to guess.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I'm gonna go five.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Okay, it was four, it was, but I don't know.
I mean, you still have Okay, four points five points six,
you're at seven. I mean, that could be the best
anyone's ever done. You should like go home and flex
to your brother. You did better than he did on
ye Okay, okay. In your college your only college season
at Minnesota, what percentage did you shoot from three? And
(24:21):
you know, we need to go to the third decimal place,
like we need to be very precise.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I want to say it was thirty nine point one.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Oh my god, yes, wow. Okay, Okay, let's see how
well you know your family?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
What pick was your brother in the twenty Okay, maybe
I've made these questions.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well, this is the last question and we'll see who
this is. So sorry, I'm gonna butcher this name from
or Rich Chomache, who was drafted by the Raptors, will
be the youngest NBA player this season. How many NBA
players this season are older than you?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Are older than me? Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Wait? Sorry, no wait, I need to rephrase that way everyone, Okay,
how many?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Wait, you're the okay, in the list of the youngest?
What ranking are you?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I think I think I was.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I was the youngest American born prospect to get drafted
this year, and I think there were I think there
were three people European, so I think I'm the fourth,
the fourth.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You're the fifth youngest, fifth young player, and I don't
remember who it was. But what's funny is that there's
two second youngest players because they randomly have the same
exact birthday. Camp. We are going to do a little
(25:57):
rapid fire section right now to continue you to get
to know you for those Clippers fans out there, for
those Camp Christie fans out there, Minnesota fans out there,

Game of Thrones number two, Prison Break number three, Like.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I've never seen any of those. It's funny because we're
only two years apart. But by your movie choice and
your TV show choice, it really seems like there's a
big age.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Guy. I watch a lot of I watch a lot of.

Media, So okay, like that, Okay, if you were to

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Okay, it's like a Netflix show, Like it's on.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Netflix, like Outer Banks or something. Okay, I see why
that would be your guest, but very stereotypical.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But but no, that's not it. It's like Okay, I
don't even know if you know it. I'm gonna give
you one more hit. It's okay, it's set in England.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Never I think I have heard of that. Actually, yeah,
I'm sure you have.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
That's the difference. I feel like we we like basketball,
that's oort of thinking common. But like media consumption, clearly
there's not much overlap.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Day.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Okay, what is your favorite video game?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
I think Max said this too, but Zelda.

Covid every day I was on Fortnite's But the sad
part is when I say grinding, I was attempting to play.
I literally think I've won solos.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
When ever I was. But you were having a good time.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I was having a good time, like you know when
you're on the headset. Well sometimes okay, sometimes I obviously
play with my friends. Okay, I need to preface that
first and next part doesn't sound sad. Sometimes it'd be
so funny when you go on the mic and then
you talk to the random people.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Oh yeah, in the game chat.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I'd always hope too that I got paired with Ninja.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
That never happened to me exactly. Okay, let's keep going.
Do you have any hidden talents?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I'll let you know what I think great, Okay, describe
your style in one word like sporty, athletic. I want
to go back to the favorite artist thing, just because
I thought it was funny when you guess that my
favorite team the show was Outer Banks.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Guess who my favorite musical artist.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is like a rapper or pop like.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I guess like I have a few, but the person
I have in mind is like a pop person. It
fits into your outer bank stereotype. That's why I was
curious if you were going to fit into the outer dump,
you know, like a teenage girl. It's not Terror Swift,
No it's not. It's who else is there? What would
(32:27):
you have said?
Speaker 1 (32:28):

That's your secret?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
After hidden, you're just like a glass half half full person.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I don't. I mean, I'm blanking on on on pop. Okay,

Okay, So if you don't know who that pretty sure
we were gonna have to. I was not going to
release this name though, but I know who that is, okay,
Like one Direction, you couldn't even name one Directions.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
