Speaker 1 (00:02):
Yo yo, y'all, Welcome to the Truth blounde. It's going
down today. All right, everybody, welcome to another episode of
the Truth Blounge. I'm here of course, Jay Crow, and
(00:26):
we got a special guest here tonight. High School Phoenom
breaking all kinds of records in the state of California.
Jason Crow Junior busting to the high school scene a
couple of years ago. This is junior year. And what's
interesting now, Ja Crow head coach Inglewood High School, where
(00:51):
his alma mater to where now you j Crow Jr.
Inglewood High School? Just like Pops Man? How how is
that felt, Jay? You know, being able to go back
to your alma mater and just see your son following
the same footsteps, walk the same campus and classes that
(01:13):
you were able to do. How has that been as
a father and as a coach.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's been It's been amazing. It's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's a blessing of course, watching him, you know, do
what you just said, being that environment that we grew
up in and having an opportunity to coach him and
be there, it's very special. I'm up on campus, you know,
like every day, and it's just so nostalgic and seeing
so many people.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Inglewood is a unique city, you.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Know in terms of like even me coming back seeing
the homecoming football game and seeing like so many people
that you grew up with. I saw they had chileads,
had their children outfits on. They followed the band. Our
stadium is about a half mile.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
From the campus.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
For football, you had the cheerleaders, they followed the band
back like Class of seventy seven, class of eighty three,
class of ninety two, they had their cheerleading outfits own
following the band back to camp. Like So now that
I'm older, those type of moments they're there hit home,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
How has that been for you? J two? I mean
you understood, you know, Pops went to Inglewood wanted to
see if championship. I don't know, man, It's just like, man,
I couldn't imagine, Like damn, you know, you see it
all the time where parents go to colleges and kids
go to college. But now we at the high school level,
he coaching you, and just I mean, how has it
(02:43):
been kind of following in his footsteps?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's been good.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
You know, transition from Lynnwood to Inglewood has been a
great transition. You know, getting to know the principal before
I even went there was great. He's a club principal,
knowing all my teachers. And then going back to Inglewood,
I went to Lattier, so a lot of people that
went to Lotsier went running back into them. Yeah, so
(03:06):
I'm just going back and talking to them again. So
that's just a good transition.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I mean, I think it's great because you have lived
in Inglewood your whole life and now you're at the
high school man, and just like, what would it mean
to bring home another CIF championship? I mean, I know
you got bigger goals because you've won state championship. Right
(03:34):
to be able to do that in an Inglewood Jersey?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
What would that mean?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Because we didn't win state. Inglewood has not won a
state championship since what nineteen eighty seventy nine? Yeah, what
would that mean? To bring home a state championship? Is
that the goal?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, that's definitely the goal. I mean I did that
one Wood. They haven't won a championship, uh for a
long time as well. Then we came in we did
that first first one. Yeah, and then going back to Inglewood,
I feel like I could do it again, so I
can stop hearing his mouth talking about he was going
tompionship every practice.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
You know, that's what you always say every practice.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah I'm in So.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, now you've definitely better been able to leave your
mark everywhere you went. Now Inglewood is in what division
is Inglewood is?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, you know they changed it this year, so now
it's in the equity system, So you don't know your
division until the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, is the first year of that.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
This the first year coming.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Up of that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
This the first year. Last year they were in Division three.
So if we was in the division they were in
last year, I'll be up here telling you we guarantee
you right.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Right, So what you're saying is probably that the competition
is better. It's going to be better.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Our goal is to try to push the level up.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
So, but the championship is going to be very difficult
because we're not going to be in this situation. When
we went to school, it was based on population, right,
In the last few years, it's been based on the
record of the two years prior. Well, last year Inglewood
went thirteen and twelve. So with the team we have
this year, if we were placed in the division that
we were based on before it. Yeah, we would win
(05:21):
that championship, like I would. I just tell him to
start fitting me in.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So what's it really been like just seeing J two
develop into just like as a player and a young man.
How's this? How has that been? Because you've been there
from day one you saw him. I remember my first
memory of J two and a basketball. I'll never forget this,
and I have this on tape, and I don't even
know if he'll ever remember this. I believe you was
(05:47):
like five years old. Jay and your grandpa had a court.
They had a court in the driveway and I grabbed
the ball. You was outside shooting. I grabbed the ball,
said d up. I remember I bounced it and I
crossed you up and I banged on you boom. I
(06:09):
remember you remember that day? He was only like five though,
you know, I think we recorded it. I said, all right,
this is probably the last time. I won't be able
to do this because we get older. He got something
because he was shooting the ball from deep right there
in the driveway. But like, talk to me, what was
your first memory of just actually fall in love with
the game of basketball?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I said, my first memories when I played under him
at the MC. I feel like that's why I started
growing and learning and loving how to play the game basketball.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
So I feel like that's whine. Oh I was like
probably four or five.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, that's when you first started. That's why I grabbed
got it, got it Rocky. He went the other way.
I got this on tape. I'm gonna find it. You
don't remember this. We was in the driveway. You definitely
don't remember it. I remember we didn't put it on
tape and I yelled at you, like ah but nah,
but uh yeah, that's just fun just watching my just
me watching you grow and develop. I just remember you
(07:03):
as a kid because you used to shoot. You always
used to shoot from down here.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah remember that.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, And I'm thinking, like, damn, maybe he just young
and not strong enough. I wonder how is that going
to evolve that jumper, Because that jumper gonna need some
work as he get older to get off. And like,
just me seeing you grow get stronger, develop that jumper.
You always had a long three ball from deep, and
(07:32):
so that's been really exciting just seeing you grow into
a young man.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's been really exciting watching you mature on and off
the court, accepting different challenges, your work ethic. I've been
able to witness you going out to the beach runs
he'll runs lifting weights. So I just want you to know,
just from me, from Unk to you, it's been a
real joy watching you still have that love for the
(07:56):
game and the spirit of competition, and so I just
want to let you know that I know I'll be
on you a little bit hard and critiquing you.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, you know, every dinner.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I critique you, But you know that's what Unks do.
We want to keep you humble man, And it's been
It's been great to watch and so so moving forward,
Inglewood Higher year one, what's your expectations? What do you
expect from this season?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Just a lot of a lot of fun, a lot
of uh, big crowds coming out, coming back to.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
See you espectually before we get the how how's the
adjustment being? Just like you coach a whole new school,
a whole new team, you know, and some of the
guys were on the team last year and now you
come in as a top player. How has that adjustment
being with your teammates? Like, how's that been? Has it
been difficult or or how's it? It wasn't adjusting with them.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
It wasn't difficult because, like I said, I already knew
a couple couple of guys that played on the team
last year. But definitely first practice I had to show
like what I really, like, really do, show them what
I really do because you know sometimes yeah, yeah, like
stuff like that. I had to how to break that
off day one day one. But then like as the year,
(09:14):
I mean the month, practice, practice and stuff like that,
then I started like trying to develop them like different
ways how they can.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Was it respect or was it no respect? A first?
So how was that?
Speaker 6 (09:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:25):
No, I definitely respected some of the guys because I
knew what some of them do, like DC or point guard,
shifty guard, quick guard.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You know, we got shooters like.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Steve and Kennedy and stuff like that, and then got
dogs like I got Jaden. So I feel like, uh, yeah,
there's definitely respect, but I just had to show them.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So let me tell you a story. So my junior year,
his senior year, a guard transferred to Inglewood. A star
guard played the same position as him, averaged twenty points
again all League, one of the top players in Southern
California checks in the Inglewood. Now now he's the two guard.
(10:11):
So we're looking like, oh damn, did we just upgrade
the two guard spot or some Now the competition and
you know, like you said, you came in, you had
to let everybody know. Well, this guard came in. His
name was Ray Young, Ray Outler, Ray Outler, and we
(10:32):
was like, oh damn, you know, we come to see
how this's gonna go. That's you know, Jake Crow. Jay
let him know it wasn't gonna be none of that.
So it's the complete opposite of what you did. He
transferred in. Jay was like, no, I'm established me right now.
I'm the starting two guard. And he won the competition,
and I thought just kind of like how ironic that
(10:53):
is you coming in starguard. Another star guard came and
he was there. You let him know, but he let
him know too.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yeah, That's where he instilled in me, like not like
let nobody punk you for no position, like showing like
what you could really do. Like that's what he tells
me before I go to any camp or anything. Show
him what like you really like doing work?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
What you work on?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
All right, talk to me about your mindset too, because
I noticed I've watched you a lot. Where does this
come from? You take on the challenge of whoever the
other star player is on the team, no matter what
position to guard. Where there be a point guard, big man,
(11:37):
I've noticed you want that challenge. Where does that come from?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Come from? Him?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You going out of position?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yeah, definitely because I'm used to playing out a position anyway.
Because of my team from last year Lynwood, we were
like a smaller team, so I had to play different
positions other than this point guard.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But I'm saying defensively, like I've seen you Matt with
with Taj who is I mean, he's six five six
six six A. I've seen you match up with a
j and you accept the challenge right now. They give
you the business, but you accept the challenge. But you, hey,
(12:21):
you go right back at him. And now I look
at that. Those are just little things that I see, like, man,
if they're gonna go at me, I'm gonna go right
back at them. And that reminds me of myself, you know,
like my battles with Kobe, my battles with Lebron, Like, well,
if he gonna go at me, I'm gonna go right
back at him, and I noticed that little stuff like
that about that and you, but like that comes from
your pops. Yeah, just do he make you guard him?
(12:45):
Or you want this?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
No, I just I just want it. I mean, I'm
just confident in myself. I'm just I might, I might
A like I'm overly confident in myself. Like people called cocky,
but I'm overly confident. It's like I'm the best player.
I should guard the best player. There's nothing like if
I'm the best player. If I feel like myself I'm
the best player, I'm not gonna have somebody else guard
the best player on another team. I'm gonna try to
(13:08):
like we put like my freshman year, we played Vanni.
He wanted to Chase to guard him, but I said, nah,
I gotta guard him because I'm trying to prove I'm
the best player. And Giovanni was at the time, was
the best player in Keli, so I was trying to
guard him the whole game.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah. I think a lot of people overlook your defense,
but that's I've been really impressed with your effort and
on the defensive end because you you're known as a
great score. I mean, you shoot lights out but I've
been impressed with your defensive competitiveness, and I think you
know that improvement in your game has gotten better each
(13:45):
and every year.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You know what I'm gonna ask him.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I'm gonna ask him something too, right now, So listen,
He's born the same.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Year as your daughter.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Great year, two thousand and eight. This is the year
you win a championship. So I'm ask you day because
we never talked about this, Like, so now you're born
in two thousand and eight, So what is your learning
about Paul in his career? Like what is your experience
of learning about him? Like when did you start learning
(14:15):
about him? And what is your what did you learn
about him in his career?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Well, to be honest, first couple of years knowing him,
I did not know he played basketball. I was just
you used to always go to your house on the weekends.
I was just hanging around with Prianna and stuff like that.
But getting older and then watching like highlights and stuff
like that, and then watching your game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh uncle, who yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Playing playing playing in the backyard and stuff like that.
You know, at first I thought he was just an
old guy talking trash. But then but then, like when
I got older and then started watching film on a
lot of basketball players. Uh that's why I started understanding,
Like I understand why he's a top seventy five players,
but he takes on like a lot of challenges that
(15:02):
and I feel like he's like very under underrated, Like
he should get more credit than like he already has
because what he does and like, like I see it
right here, Like what he does is like, I mean,
it's not a people that can do that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Man, he thought I was just the old dude just
getting They don't know, got to send them the YouTube.
That's how they find out who. So right now, who
is one or two or three guys that you kind
of like watch right now, whether it be college pro,
old school right now? Who you watching right now? Who
you kind of trying to pattern your game at or
(15:41):
take something from or you know, because I always like
like I would watch when I was coming up, I
would watch certain guys take something from him, take something
from him. Who is who is those players right now?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
For you?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Definitely, Darren Fox, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah. I just interviewed Leanna Daring Fox today. Yeah, yeah,
that's all. That's dope.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, Darren Fox. I feel like his improvement from last year.
This year is just crazy. Yeah he made that crazy jump. Yeah,
So like, yeah, I love watching this game. And then
obviously Curry and then Kyrie.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Who's your favorite player?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Uh, I say Kyrie?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Kyrie?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah, I say.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Carry Wow, that's interesting, you said Darren Fox because I
think right now, Darren Fox is one of the most
underrated players in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
For sure, he's made an All Stars. He's made the
lead this year average in twenty eight. Last year he
averaged like twenty six or seven. Taking another league. That's
not a bad guy to watch though. Man, he's definitely
gonna be an All Star again in this league. And
I feel like Sacramento is gonna make a run this year.
(16:49):
So season has started. The schedule is out, yep. Any
games you circle in or any players you circle in.
I just remember when I played it was like, all right,
I'm gonna circle this game Westchester. All right, we played Morningside.
Let me circle this him or him? Any games or
players you circling, Like, man, I can't wait to play
(17:10):
against them or a certain individual.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I circle all of them. I want to play every game.
But I know what you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I know what you.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I know what you're saying, but I want to go
at everybody like literally every game. I want to play
my best game every game. That's how I approach the game.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Okay, but it was one She's like, I can't wait
for this. I wish it was today.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I wish every game was today, right, Okay, Especially I
like that.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I like that because there's no respective person. When I
taught him from early age. The first thing that when
I told him, I said, I remember when they had
Mikey Williams and those guys they're uh they was going
to be a senior. Mikey Williams was the top guy.
He was playing with Bronnie James. So I was like,
and they was talking to him like yeah that too.
(18:00):
I said, listen, remember you're gonna have to beat his
head off. You're gonna be in the ninth grade when
he's in the twelve. You're gonna have to all that
fans like. And but also the one thing I was
teaching him was that I like that he said that
because every game is it matters. It's the reason why
you ever thirty seven a game, because if you if
(18:23):
you weak, I'm gonna destroy you and I'm gonna sit
out the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
He would have then LA.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Record if I wasn't the coach, right, if I wasn't,
because a lot of the daddy ball stuff, you know,
I mean fourth quarters, he didn't play. I'm just telling
him that he didn't play. A lot of people don't
know that though. People think, oh, it's daddy ball. How
is it daddy ball when y'all out there playing defense
in boxing one?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
What's the daddy ball in that? And then he don't play.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
The fourth if we blow you out.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I don't play with the game because you remember we
was out there the state championship. He needed two points,
but he already subbed out and was in celebration mode. Yeah,
So I'm like, I don't want to put him on
the floor for two points right now and he's in
celebration mode. He looked at me and said, we got
a chip. So I like that mindset that you have
of the purpose of while we play.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
The game, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And another think, all right, So another thing I want
to ask you. You've been able to play in USA camps,
You've played and multiple tournaments around the United States in
the high school class, whether it be this year, class
(19:32):
of twenty twenty five, twenty six. Who you been? Who
have you been most impressed by that you've watched or
played against?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I gotta go.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I got Christian Christian Collins. Christian, you made.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
The biggest leap of this year. I believe, Yeah, you
made the biggest leap. He went from playing JV or
being a five star.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I already knew it.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
I already told him, like when we were playing au
playing with the same team, he was playing with sixteen,
YA was playing seventeen.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I already told him. I was like, if you kill
this summer, which I know you will, because there's not
a lot of people out here that because he got
the big jump, he got stronger, he grew to be,
he grew into his body, he got he got a shot.
Now he can finish. He can finish on you. So
that's like he's like the biggest.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That's a good one. Whereas Christian at Saint John Boscoe,
y'all better watch out Christian Collins Saint John Bosco. You know,
I had to ask an interesting thing about him. Remember
we had the open runs or the tryouts, Well, how
old was he then when we did that? Well, he
didn't make the squad.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
He had to probably be like seventh eighth grade though.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Seventh eighth grade, and I remember talking to Christian. He
came up to me and was like, man, what you
think I need to do to get better? I said, Man,
you gotta be more competitive. You gotta believe in yourself.
Because he looked like he had all the tools, but
(21:08):
he just wasn't. He didn't believe in itself.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And that's what his body. Yeah, his body. When he
started to get in that weave room and put that
work in. We watched him.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
We was working the same place in Trevor's Jim. Yeah,
so we saw I saw it make the change of
embracing the workout. That's when everything works out for you
when you embrace everybody want to go to gym and
get shots up and do this? No, who want to
put the ball down and get your body right so
that you can compete at a high level.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
He started to embrace that aspect of the game.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
You know, this has been a this is gonna be this.
The class of twenty twenty six is gonna be probably
California's most impressive. It's a lot of five star players.
We're gonna probably see three or four guys make the McDonald's.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
You gotta get all six, you think, so you got to.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You got six players in the top ten from California,
from southern Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Talk to me about the recruiting process. How that's been, man?
How how do they do now? Do they send letters? Still?
Hold up?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Text call?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Text call?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Texting call?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, you can call.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Yeah, they can take well the first year they can
call him with this summer.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, yeah, So how's the recruiting process being?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Man, it's been fun?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You know, well business? What business? You're taking the visits yet?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I took the one visit to Miami and then you
know obviously U, C, l A and US and then
I went to Georgia Tech my.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
My freshman year. So yeah, oh that's the start of mind.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yeah, when he first got the job.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Right right, right, Yeah, I saw my recruitment. It's a
little different. We got letters. I was just never so
being so excited when I started getting letters.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
He used to run to the office looking in the mailbox,
like you got coaching office, not go.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Way for coach.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, I remember getting letters. So you took an official
visit to Miami? Unofficial? Okay, you got any more plans.
So look and listen, I'm gonna tell you about me.
So my recruitment, I took a visit to U C
l A USC and so I remember it was November.
(23:29):
It was like one of the first games. So I
took my visit. I didn't know where I want to go,
so I took. At this point, I hadn't already been
to like so many U. S l A games, so
many USC games, and I had visits schedule with Cal Oregon, Arizona,
U N l V. I took my visit to Kansas, right,
(23:54):
and I went to a game. I'm sitting in the
game and I didn't know where I want to go
at the time. Man, after the game, I knew I
was going there. I think it's something you gotta feel.
Now it's a different recruiting, it's just something I felt.
I got there, man, and I'm sitting there, I'm like,
(24:16):
I've never seen nothing like this, you know, I've never
seen nothing. I'm looking at the crowd. I think they
I think before the game they chanting my name or something,
and I'm like, I got chills, and I was like,
I need to play on this court. I said, I
need to play on this court, and I knew. I
knew I was going to Kansas, like after the visit.
(24:37):
I knew. I didn't announce it after my visit, but
I was like, I need to get I need to
be on this court right here.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I need to be playing till after Christmas or something.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Did you Yeah, I didn announce it after Christmas, but
I went in November, but I knew already. I knew
I was. After I came home, I was like, damn,
telling them, I'm not telling you. You told me. I
think I'm going.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, you told me you you told me can because
they was hitting me up.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I was.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
At that last Christmas tournament stuff. They was making a
push and they don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I was just like, man, I just felt it, you know.
So what I want to tell you, Man, enjoy the process.
I would say, go on as many trips as you can,
you know, enjoy the process and.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Feel it.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I think you're gonna feel it when you really understand
or or figure out where you want to play or go.
I think it's something that's just gonna come to you naturally.
Don't overthink it, don't overthink it. Just feel it. You're
gonna feel it. And it's gonna feel comfortable. Don't let
nobody else influence you. That's one thing I will say.
Don't let no outside and people say, man, I think
(25:46):
you should go here because I have people like, man,
you should go to U C. L A. You should
go to that. Yeah. So but just like this is
the thing, if you make a decision for somebody else
and it don't turn out the way you want it
to be, you're gonna blame them you make the decision,
(26:06):
you know what I'm saying. If that's the one piece
of advice I can give you. You a young man, Now,
you're gonna be faced with a lot of decisions coming up,
and this is decisions that you gotta live with, not
nobody else. So always keep that in mind when you
when you're making these important decisions, because you know Tom
is gonna fly, you know, just like that junior season,
(26:30):
senior year and then it's gonna be like whoa.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But you know what's different today than you is that
and I can see it too, is that he has
a team that you didn't have, Like he's what Excel Sports. Yeah, right,
so their understanding of the market, Like what if you
had that, what if you had Excel telling you like information, yeah,
(26:55):
to help assist you. It's nothing for them to make
the decision. But you're getting this other cause you have
a team. He got you, he got me, right, You
didn't have that. Me and you were just sitting there
like and you telling me your stories and what you're
going through and it was just you.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You had your brothers who been through the experiences, but
they wasn't a part of the current landscape of the game,
you know what I'm saying. So like you didn't get
that advice, you know what I'm saying. So you was
out there. You made the right choice though, right, That's
what I'm saying. You've ma you made the right choice.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It's no infans about it because I never told you nothing.
I don't think I I said nothing because I understand
what I have to offer, but support.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You know what I'm saying. I don't got your opinion.
I'm your age like it.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It was so hard for me too, because this is the deal.
It's me and my mom. It's just me and my mom.
My two older brothers is already out of the house.
So the difficult part for me was like, damn, my
mom gonna be by herself. You know what I'm saying, Like, ma'am,
I'm going way over here, and I don't know when
I'm coming back. You know what I'm saying. I don't
have no money to get no plane ticket. I don't
(28:06):
I can't come home for Christmas. I can't come home
for Thanksgiving. I just remember being on campus like this
is if I made this decision, this is I'm gonna
be here. I've been. I remember being on campus Thanksgiving.
You know, a couple of people go home for a
couple of days. I'm in my door and by myself
playing video games. Christmas, real, real, for real. And I
remember I came home for a couple of days or
(28:27):
a week in the summer, and I was back out
in the back out on Kansas for the summer. Yeah,
just me and him on the campus, no students yet
before summer school started. So I really, I really love
the decision I made to make that move. Now, you
told me, you watch you watch a lot of Deer
(28:47):
and Fox, and what you what you want to work
on now in your game? What kind of weaknesses or
what you want to get better at? What you're working on?
How what's what you're working on.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Just patching up couple like inside moves, midies and stuff
like that. Get into my spot, finding my spots on
the court easier cause I'm gonna get you know, double team,
triple teams, So just finding my spots, and then definitely
like leading more. Definitely, like come into our leader road.
This being my second half of my year, so it's
(29:20):
more vocal, more vocal, definitely, just because this new team,
like they haven't been through what I've been through. None
of them have, except for probably Parker, but he hasn't
been through a lot of what I've done either. So
just trying to lead them and give them all the
knowledge I have, like going to these different camps, getting
all this information, stuff like that. Just trying to lead
them and just show them, like on the court and
(29:43):
stuff like that, different ways they can impact me and
help help us win the championship.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
All Right, So I'm gonna tell you what I think
you need to work on. I need to get all
the break more. I needed to learn how to move
without the ball. I've you need to learn to play
without the ball. That's just a few things. Now, you
you you're great with the ball, but when you get
(30:12):
to the next level, it's gonna be somebody just as
good or better than you. And the thing that I
had to learn when I was I had to learn
to play with other great players. Like I went to Kansas,
I played with like another McDonald's all American who was
the top point guard in the college. I played with
(30:33):
another American big man I played with. All the players
I played with were great in high school. So I
was just like damn I was. I played point guard
in my senior year, so I had to learn, like damn,
how can I have an impact if I don't have
the ball? And I think by me doing that, it
made me a better player. So when I came back
to the ball when I didn't have the ball, I
(30:55):
can play both ways. So that's just my observation. To
make it how you want it. You know what I'm saying.
I'm always here, Listen. I'm not here to criticize your game.
Like when I tell you how I look at you,
it's out of love, it's out of like cause you
got a lot of the tools. I'm just saying, if
(31:15):
you might need that in your back pocket. You know what,
if you you know, it may not never happen. You
may be a guy that's always been great with the
ball that you know, and that happens, but you might
you want to have that in your back pocket. You
know what I'm saying, Like, damn all right, I'm i
gotta move, I got a back door cut, or I
gotta set a screen boom. Be a better screener, you
know what I'm saying, Because if you're a guy that
get doubled. And that's what I had to learn, and
(31:37):
I didn't learn that until later in my NBA career.
I started becoming a better screener. And what I learned
from that is I got open more, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So that's the last thing you gotta work on right there.
For me, it's the understanding of the finer points of
the game. I think from a skill perspective, he doesn't
have any like, yeah, you can polish this up.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
He got left hand, right hand.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah. But the stuff I'm saying that's not skilled.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Stuff. For me.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
The screening is the aspect that I would like him
like that to improve on the screening. I think him
setting screens this year, I'm asking him to set better
screens to be able to, like you said, free his
teammate up, but also free yourself up. Yes, because you're
getting switches, you're getting confusion. Now, you're getting a different
(32:28):
level of intelligence because he's just been used to. Look,
I'm just gonna go at everybody now. As you're getting older,
you learn the game, being the core more great players.
Let me find ways to manipulate the defense. Like you said,
without the ball, then when I get the ball, I
have a greater advantage. Right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
So I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Anybody, anybody in else in the league that's reached out
you to give you some game.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Jason Tatum, Jason Tatum, you talked to Chase Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Talks on here and there. Uh, he gets always gives
me pointers and stuff like that. I text him every
couple of days and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Yeah, man, obviously Westbrook, Uh, playing for his program. We
talked very often. Just give me pointers and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
And sure that's dope. Yeah, that's dope. Man. Damn. I'm
just thinking, like damn if I was in high school
and I was talking to Jordan and Magic. Hey, Jordan's
hey man, how you be getting up on that fade away? Hey? Magic,
I need you to teach me that hook. God have
(33:36):
been crazy. Oh man, that's pretty dope. Man. You got
a lot of the resources right there.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Man.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And I just man, I just hope you know in
this day and age with N I L. Talk to
me about the N I L. Dog House House. How's
that coming on? You told me you got you've been
signing some cards. Yeah, you're working with Panini. Let's see
what that. Hold hold on, man, what's that signature looking like?
Let me see ye man, let me oh, this is
(34:04):
your signature.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, let's hold this.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Hold on, let me see man, let me see here here,
sign me up again, let me see sign me up
right here? Hey two, can you sign this for me?
Come on, it's gotta be quick. You gotta line. Oh man,
you gotta line. Who's being on that? Hey there? Go
(34:27):
look watch this. This is gonna evolve eventually as you
started growing.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah, they told me when like before I started signing
them to this is gonna evolve.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Let me show you what my order. My first autograph
looked like I still know how to write it. I
still know how to write it. This is my first
autograph looked.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Like who you're right there for? The Paul Pis girl.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Man, Like, that's what it looked like when I was
in high school. You can see every letter that so
now it looked like this, I got a line, all right.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Next that actually looked better. Though, this looked better.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
This, it evolved to this. It was this, all right,
and then it got to this.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
What's the little skirls right there?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
That's Paul Pierce don It was like you, I know,
I get to see the line.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I see the two p's, but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
But when you get a line people down the street,
let's get it, let's get it going. You know what
I'm saying. You ain't gonna see every letter.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
But you know what I want to say about that, though,
is that, uh, it's crazy. Like I think parents, and
this is my advice for parents, is that then all
process is a process that you need to be willing
to work with. You shouldn't be jumping into it trying
to do anything.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Just work with it.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Allow your kid because sitting there watching him sign five
thousand autographs, that's a professional thing for a kid, you know,
sixteen years old. He's coming home from school, got to
do his work out. Now you gotta sign a thousand.
It's like, you know what I'm saying, so, but also
think it's educational and it's getting him in the mindset
of the professionalism that's required of the business because if
(36:33):
you want to proceed, the business has evolved to so
much now you know, it's really truly about giving yourself
to the game because it's it's we got social media,
we got all these different avenues.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
That are required.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
You know what I and you can comment on this
because this is what I This is my philosophy about
being a professional. You got three responsibilities and you tell
me what you think about this. To prepare, promote, and perform.
That's it, the three p's of a professional. Prepare, promote,
but you gotta perform, you know, m hm.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
That's that's what it is. Now.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Yeah, you always had to You had to promote. You
had to promote. You was always getting called. They was
always have media after the game. You had to promote
the games. You gotta promote this media everywhere you go.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
That's the job.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, that's the job.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
You gotta prepare you're not going, but you gotta perform
all that working hard in practice that don't This is
pros when they come out and pay them tickets. You
gotta show up. That's what Artison was talking about. Were
talking about practice. You know, you gotta perform and you
gotta promote because if you do anything that brings negativity
to the game, it's gonna hurt your career. So you
(37:46):
gotta promote the program yourself in a good manner. So
I'll just tell kids, prepare, promote, perform. Those are your responsibilities.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
All right. Man, listen, this is your junior year. You
about to play your first game. How are you feeling
right now?
Speaker 5 (38:03):
I'm feeling good. Definitely a lot of mixed emotions. Definitely,
just because this is my first game. But I'm really excited,
just trying to put the angle with Jersey on.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
That's gonna be official now, yeah, for sure? All right,
every era is different. Who is your goat?
Speaker 4 (38:22):
Jordan?
Speaker 6 (38:23):
Jordan's Wow?
Speaker 5 (38:25):
I heard?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I heard? Yeah, everybody is kad Or all right, give
me your all time starting five, Paul Pierce? Who else?
Speaker 4 (38:42):
I gee?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Just give me your all time? All right?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
So my all time is magic at the one not.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
This is just a different He's not a one, he
knows not a guard. He's not one.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
He's a guard, but he's not like a one. He's
more like combo.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
He like because now now it's now they have combos,
So like Curry's like more of a combo because because
you know, he's a combo, because he doesn't really he's combo.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
He's really can't even be in no position.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Now we're positionless.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Combo is a position now starting five, all time, all right.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
Magic, Jordan's Jordan's lebron lebron uh kgg and then shock.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Oh that's not bad.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
It's not bad. I rolle with that one. Solid, very solid,
very solid. Pedigret young man as well.

(40:29):
Your boy j Crow myself the Truth jay Crow Junior.
We appreciate y'all. Make sure y'all tune in.
Yo yo, y'all, Welcome to the Truth blounde. It's going
down today. All right, everybody, welcome to another episode of
the Truth Blounge. I'm here of course, Jay Crow, and
(00:26):
we got a special guest here tonight. High School Phoenom
breaking all kinds of records in the state of California.
Jason Crow Junior busting to the high school scene a
couple of years ago. This is junior year. And what's
interesting now, Ja Crow head coach Inglewood High School, where
(00:51):
his alma mater to where now you j Crow Jr.
Inglewood High School? Just like Pops Man? How how is
that felt, Jay? You know, being able to go back
to your alma mater and just see your son following
the same footsteps, walk the same campus and classes that
(01:13):
you were able to do. How has that been as
a father and as a coach.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's been It's been amazing. It's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's a blessing of course, watching him, you know, do
what you just said, being that environment that we grew
up in and having an opportunity to coach him and
be there, it's very special. I'm up on campus, you know,
like every day, and it's just so nostalgic and seeing
so many people.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Inglewood is a unique city, you.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Know in terms of like even me coming back seeing
the homecoming football game and seeing like so many people
that you grew up with. I saw they had chileads,
had their children outfits on. They followed the band. Our
stadium is about a half mile.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
From the campus.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
For football, you had the cheerleaders, they followed the band
back like Class of seventy seven, class of eighty three,
class of ninety two, they had their cheerleading outfits own
following the band back to camp. Like So now that
I'm older, those type of moments they're there hit home,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
How has that been for you? J two? I mean
you understood, you know, Pops went to Inglewood wanted to
see if championship. I don't know, man, It's just like, man,
I couldn't imagine, Like damn, you know, you see it
all the time where parents go to colleges and kids
go to college. But now we at the high school level,
he coaching you, and just I mean, how has it
(02:43):
been kind of following in his footsteps?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's been good.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
You know, transition from Lynnwood to Inglewood has been a
great transition. You know, getting to know the principal before
I even went there was great. He's a club principal,
knowing all my teachers. And then going back to Inglewood,
I went to Lattier, so a lot of people that
went to Lotsier went running back into them. Yeah, so
(03:06):
I'm just going back and talking to them again. So
that's just a good transition.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I mean, I think it's great because you have lived
in Inglewood your whole life and now you're at the
high school man, and just like, what would it mean
to bring home another CIF championship? I mean, I know
you got bigger goals because you've won state championship. Right
(03:34):
to be able to do that in an Inglewood Jersey?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
What would that mean?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Because we didn't win state. Inglewood has not won a
state championship since what nineteen eighty seventy nine? Yeah, what
would that mean? To bring home a state championship? Is
that the goal?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, that's definitely the goal. I mean I did that
one Wood. They haven't won a championship, uh for a
long time as well. Then we came in we did
that first first one. Yeah, and then going back to Inglewood,
I feel like I could do it again, so I
can stop hearing his mouth talking about he was going
tompionship every practice.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
You know, that's what you always say every practice.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah I'm in So.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, now you've definitely better been able to leave your
mark everywhere you went. Now Inglewood is in what division
is Inglewood is?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, you know they changed it this year, so now
it's in the equity system, So you don't know your
division until the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, is the first year of that.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
This the first year coming.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Up of that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
This the first year. Last year they were in Division three.
So if we was in the division they were in
last year, I'll be up here telling you we guarantee
you right.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Right, So what you're saying is probably that the competition
is better. It's going to be better.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Our goal is to try to push the level up.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
So, but the championship is going to be very difficult
because we're not going to be in this situation. When
we went to school, it was based on population, right,
In the last few years, it's been based on the
record of the two years prior. Well, last year Inglewood
went thirteen and twelve. So with the team we have
this year, if we were placed in the division that
we were based on before it. Yeah, we would win
(05:21):
that championship, like I would. I just tell him to
start fitting me in.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So what's it really been like just seeing J two
develop into just like as a player and a young man.
How's this? How has that been? Because you've been there
from day one you saw him. I remember my first
memory of J two and a basketball. I'll never forget this,
and I have this on tape, and I don't even
know if he'll ever remember this. I believe you was
(05:47):
like five years old. Jay and your grandpa had a court.
They had a court in the driveway and I grabbed
the ball. You was outside shooting. I grabbed the ball,
said d up. I remember I bounced it and I
crossed you up and I banged on you boom. I
(06:09):
remember you remember that day? He was only like five though,
you know, I think we recorded it. I said, all right,
this is probably the last time. I won't be able
to do this because we get older. He got something
because he was shooting the ball from deep right there
in the driveway. But like, talk to me, what was
your first memory of just actually fall in love with
the game of basketball?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I said, my first memories when I played under him
at the MC. I feel like that's why I started
growing and learning and loving how to play the game basketball.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
So I feel like that's whine. Oh I was like
probably four or five.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, that's when you first started. That's why I grabbed
got it, got it Rocky. He went the other way.
I got this on tape. I'm gonna find it. You
don't remember this. We was in the driveway. You definitely
don't remember it. I remember we didn't put it on
tape and I yelled at you, like ah but nah,
but uh yeah, that's just fun just watching my just
me watching you grow and develop. I just remember you
(07:03):
as a kid because you used to shoot. You always
used to shoot from down here.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah remember that.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, And I'm thinking, like, damn, maybe he just young
and not strong enough. I wonder how is that going
to evolve that jumper, Because that jumper gonna need some
work as he get older to get off. And like,
just me seeing you grow get stronger, develop that jumper.
You always had a long three ball from deep, and
(07:32):
so that's been really exciting just seeing you grow into
a young man.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's been really exciting watching you mature on and off
the court, accepting different challenges, your work ethic. I've been
able to witness you going out to the beach runs
he'll runs lifting weights. So I just want you to know,
just from me, from Unk to you, it's been a
real joy watching you still have that love for the
(07:56):
game and the spirit of competition, and so I just
want to let you know that I know I'll be
on you a little bit hard and critiquing you.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, you know, every dinner.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I critique you, But you know that's what Unks do.
We want to keep you humble man, And it's been
It's been great to watch and so so moving forward,
Inglewood Higher year one, what's your expectations? What do you
expect from this season?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Just a lot of a lot of fun, a lot
of uh, big crowds coming out, coming back to.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
See you espectually before we get the how how's the
adjustment being? Just like you coach a whole new school,
a whole new team, you know, and some of the
guys were on the team last year and now you
come in as a top player. How has that adjustment
being with your teammates? Like, how's that been? Has it
been difficult or or how's it? It wasn't adjusting with them.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
It wasn't difficult because, like I said, I already knew
a couple couple of guys that played on the team
last year. But definitely first practice I had to show
like what I really, like, really do, show them what
I really do because you know sometimes yeah, yeah, like
stuff like that. I had to how to break that
off day one day one. But then like as the year,
(09:14):
I mean the month, practice, practice and stuff like that,
then I started like trying to develop them like different
ways how they can.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Was it respect or was it no respect? A first?
So how was that?
Speaker 6 (09:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:25):
No, I definitely respected some of the guys because I
knew what some of them do, like DC or point guard,
shifty guard, quick guard.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You know, we got shooters like.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Steve and Kennedy and stuff like that, and then got
dogs like I got Jaden. So I feel like, uh, yeah,
there's definitely respect, but I just had to show them.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So let me tell you a story. So my junior year,
his senior year, a guard transferred to Inglewood. A star
guard played the same position as him, averaged twenty points
again all League, one of the top players in Southern
California checks in the Inglewood. Now now he's the two guard.
(10:11):
So we're looking like, oh damn, did we just upgrade
the two guard spot or some Now the competition and
you know, like you said, you came in, you had
to let everybody know. Well, this guard came in. His
name was Ray Young, Ray Outler, Ray Outler, and we
(10:32):
was like, oh damn, you know, we come to see
how this's gonna go. That's you know, Jake Crow. Jay
let him know it wasn't gonna be none of that.
So it's the complete opposite of what you did. He
transferred in. Jay was like, no, I'm established me right now.
I'm the starting two guard. And he won the competition,
and I thought just kind of like how ironic that
(10:53):
is you coming in starguard. Another star guard came and
he was there. You let him know, but he let
him know too.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yeah, That's where he instilled in me, like not like
let nobody punk you for no position, like showing like
what you could really do. Like that's what he tells
me before I go to any camp or anything. Show
him what like you really like doing work?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
What you work on?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
All right, talk to me about your mindset too, because
I noticed I've watched you a lot. Where does this
come from? You take on the challenge of whoever the
other star player is on the team, no matter what
position to guard. Where there be a point guard, big man,
(11:37):
I've noticed you want that challenge. Where does that come from?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Come from? Him?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You going out of position?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yeah, definitely because I'm used to playing out a position anyway.
Because of my team from last year Lynwood, we were
like a smaller team, so I had to play different
positions other than this point guard.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But I'm saying defensively, like I've seen you Matt with
with Taj who is I mean, he's six five six
six six A. I've seen you match up with a
j and you accept the challenge right now. They give
you the business, but you accept the challenge. But you, hey,
(12:21):
you go right back at him. And now I look
at that. Those are just little things that I see, like, man,
if they're gonna go at me, I'm gonna go right
back at them. And that reminds me of myself, you know,
like my battles with Kobe, my battles with Lebron, Like, well,
if he gonna go at me, I'm gonna go right
back at him, and I noticed that little stuff like
that about that and you, but like that comes from
your pops. Yeah, just do he make you guard him?
(12:45):
Or you want this?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
No, I just I just want it. I mean, I'm
just confident in myself. I'm just I might, I might
A like I'm overly confident in myself. Like people called cocky,
but I'm overly confident. It's like I'm the best player.
I should guard the best player. There's nothing like if
I'm the best player. If I feel like myself I'm
the best player, I'm not gonna have somebody else guard
the best player on another team. I'm gonna try to
(13:08):
like we put like my freshman year, we played Vanni.
He wanted to Chase to guard him, but I said, nah,
I gotta guard him because I'm trying to prove I'm
the best player. And Giovanni was at the time, was
the best player in Keli, so I was trying to
guard him the whole game.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah. I think a lot of people overlook your defense,
but that's I've been really impressed with your effort and
on the defensive end because you you're known as a
great score. I mean, you shoot lights out but I've
been impressed with your defensive competitiveness, and I think you
know that improvement in your game has gotten better each
(13:45):
and every year.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You know what I'm gonna ask him.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I'm gonna ask him something too, right now, So listen,
He's born the same.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Year as your daughter.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Great year, two thousand and eight. This is the year
you win a championship. So I'm ask you day because
we never talked about this, Like, so now you're born
in two thousand and eight, So what is your learning
about Paul in his career? Like what is your experience
of learning about him? Like when did you start learning
(14:15):
about him? And what is your what did you learn
about him in his career?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Well, to be honest, first couple of years knowing him,
I did not know he played basketball. I was just
you used to always go to your house on the weekends.
I was just hanging around with Prianna and stuff like that.
But getting older and then watching like highlights and stuff
like that, and then watching your game.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh uncle, who yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Playing playing playing in the backyard and stuff like that.
You know, at first I thought he was just an
old guy talking trash. But then but then, like when
I got older and then started watching film on a
lot of basketball players. Uh that's why I started understanding,
Like I understand why he's a top seventy five players,
but he takes on like a lot of challenges that
(15:02):
and I feel like he's like very under underrated, Like
he should get more credit than like he already has
because what he does and like, like I see it
right here, Like what he does is like, I mean,
it's not a people that can do that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Man, he thought I was just the old dude just
getting They don't know, got to send them the YouTube.
That's how they find out who. So right now, who
is one or two or three guys that you kind
of like watch right now, whether it be college pro,
old school right now? Who you watching right now? Who
you kind of trying to pattern your game at or
(15:41):
take something from or you know, because I always like
like I would watch when I was coming up, I
would watch certain guys take something from him, take something
from him. Who is who is those players right now?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
For you?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Definitely, Darren Fox, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah. I just interviewed Leanna Daring Fox today. Yeah, yeah,
that's all. That's dope.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, Darren Fox. I feel like his improvement from last year.
This year is just crazy. Yeah he made that crazy jump. Yeah,
So like, yeah, I love watching this game. And then
obviously Curry and then Kyrie.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Who's your favorite player?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Uh, I say Kyrie?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Kyrie?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah, I say.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Carry Wow, that's interesting, you said Darren Fox because I
think right now, Darren Fox is one of the most
underrated players in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
For sure, he's made an All Stars. He's made the
lead this year average in twenty eight. Last year he
averaged like twenty six or seven. Taking another league. That's
not a bad guy to watch though. Man, he's definitely
gonna be an All Star again in this league. And
I feel like Sacramento is gonna make a run this year.
(16:49):
So season has started. The schedule is out, yep. Any
games you circle in or any players you circle in.
I just remember when I played it was like, all right,
I'm gonna circle this game Westchester. All right, we played Morningside.
Let me circle this him or him? Any games or
players you circling, Like, man, I can't wait to play
(17:10):
against them or a certain individual.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I circle all of them. I want to play every game.
But I know what you.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I know what you.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I know what you're saying, but I want to go
at everybody like literally every game. I want to play
my best game every game. That's how I approach the game.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Okay, but it was one She's like, I can't wait
for this. I wish it was today.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I wish every game was today, right, Okay, Especially I
like that.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I like that because there's no respective person. When I
taught him from early age. The first thing that when
I told him, I said, I remember when they had
Mikey Williams and those guys they're uh they was going
to be a senior. Mikey Williams was the top guy.
He was playing with Bronnie James. So I was like,
and they was talking to him like yeah that too.
(18:00):
I said, listen, remember you're gonna have to beat his
head off. You're gonna be in the ninth grade when
he's in the twelve. You're gonna have to all that
fans like. And but also the one thing I was
teaching him was that I like that he said that
because every game is it matters. It's the reason why
you ever thirty seven a game, because if you if
(18:23):
you weak, I'm gonna destroy you and I'm gonna sit
out the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
He would have then LA.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Record if I wasn't the coach, right, if I wasn't,
because a lot of the daddy ball stuff, you know,
I mean fourth quarters, he didn't play. I'm just telling
him that he didn't play. A lot of people don't
know that though. People think, oh, it's daddy ball. How
is it daddy ball when y'all out there playing defense
in boxing one?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
What's the daddy ball in that? And then he don't play.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
The fourth if we blow you out.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I don't play with the game because you remember we
was out there the state championship. He needed two points,
but he already subbed out and was in celebration mode. Yeah,
So I'm like, I don't want to put him on
the floor for two points right now and he's in
celebration mode. He looked at me and said, we got
a chip. So I like that mindset that you have
of the purpose of while we play.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
The game, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And another think, all right, So another thing I want
to ask you. You've been able to play in USA camps,
You've played and multiple tournaments around the United States in
the high school class, whether it be this year, class
(19:32):
of twenty twenty five, twenty six. Who you been? Who
have you been most impressed by that you've watched or
played against?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I gotta go.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I got Christian Christian Collins. Christian, you made.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
The biggest leap of this year. I believe, Yeah, you
made the biggest leap. He went from playing JV or
being a five star.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I already knew it.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
I already told him, like when we were playing au
playing with the same team, he was playing with sixteen,
YA was playing seventeen.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I already told him. I was like, if you kill
this summer, which I know you will, because there's not
a lot of people out here that because he got
the big jump, he got stronger, he grew to be,
he grew into his body, he got he got a shot.
Now he can finish. He can finish on you. So
that's like he's like the biggest.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That's a good one. Whereas Christian at Saint John Boscoe,
y'all better watch out Christian Collins Saint John Bosco. You know,
I had to ask an interesting thing about him. Remember
we had the open runs or the tryouts, Well, how
old was he then when we did that? Well, he
didn't make the squad.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
He had to probably be like seventh eighth grade though.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Seventh eighth grade, and I remember talking to Christian. He
came up to me and was like, man, what you
think I need to do to get better? I said, Man,
you gotta be more competitive. You gotta believe in yourself.
Because he looked like he had all the tools, but
(21:08):
he just wasn't. He didn't believe in itself.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And that's what his body. Yeah, his body. When he
started to get in that weave room and put that
work in. We watched him.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
We was working the same place in Trevor's Jim. Yeah,
so we saw I saw it make the change of
embracing the workout. That's when everything works out for you
when you embrace everybody want to go to gym and
get shots up and do this? No, who want to
put the ball down and get your body right so
that you can compete at a high level.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
He started to embrace that aspect of the game.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
You know, this has been a this is gonna be this.
The class of twenty twenty six is gonna be probably
California's most impressive. It's a lot of five star players.
We're gonna probably see three or four guys make the McDonald's.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
You gotta get all six, you think, so you got to.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You got six players in the top ten from California,
from southern Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Talk to me about the recruiting process. How that's been, man?
How how do they do now? Do they send letters? Still?
Hold up?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Text call?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Text call?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Texting call?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, you can call.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Yeah, they can take well the first year they can
call him with this summer.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, yeah, So how's the recruiting process being?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Man, it's been fun?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You know, well business? What business? You're taking the visits yet?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I took the one visit to Miami and then you
know obviously U, C, l A and US and then
I went to Georgia Tech my.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
My freshman year. So yeah, oh that's the start of mind.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yeah, when he first got the job.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Right right, right, Yeah, I saw my recruitment. It's a
little different. We got letters. I was just never so
being so excited when I started getting letters.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
He used to run to the office looking in the mailbox,
like you got coaching office, not go.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Way for coach.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, I remember getting letters. So you took an official
visit to Miami? Unofficial? Okay, you got any more plans.
So look and listen, I'm gonna tell you about me.
So my recruitment, I took a visit to U C
l A USC and so I remember it was November.
(23:29):
It was like one of the first games. So I
took my visit. I didn't know where I want to go,
so I took. At this point, I hadn't already been
to like so many U. S l A games, so
many USC games, and I had visits schedule with Cal Oregon, Arizona,
U N l V. I took my visit to Kansas, right,
(23:54):
and I went to a game. I'm sitting in the
game and I didn't know where I want to go
at the time. Man, after the game, I knew I
was going there. I think it's something you gotta feel.
Now it's a different recruiting, it's just something I felt.
I got there, man, and I'm sitting there, I'm like,
(24:16):
I've never seen nothing like this, you know, I've never
seen nothing. I'm looking at the crowd. I think they
I think before the game they chanting my name or something,
and I'm like, I got chills, and I was like,
I need to play on this court. I said, I
need to play on this court, and I knew. I
knew I was going to Kansas, like after the visit.
(24:37):
I knew. I didn't announce it after my visit, but
I was like, I need to get I need to
be on this court right here.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I need to be playing till after Christmas or something.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Did you Yeah, I didn announce it after Christmas, but
I went in November, but I knew already. I knew
I was. After I came home, I was like, damn,
telling them, I'm not telling you. You told me. I
think I'm going.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, you told me you you told me can because
they was hitting me up.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I was.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
At that last Christmas tournament stuff. They was making a
push and they don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I was just like, man, I just felt it, you know.
So what I want to tell you, Man, enjoy the process.
I would say, go on as many trips as you can,
you know, enjoy the process and.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Feel it.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I think you're gonna feel it when you really understand
or or figure out where you want to play or go.
I think it's something that's just gonna come to you naturally.
Don't overthink it, don't overthink it. Just feel it. You're
gonna feel it. And it's gonna feel comfortable. Don't let
nobody else influence you. That's one thing I will say.
Don't let no outside and people say, man, I think
(25:46):
you should go here because I have people like, man,
you should go to U C. L A. You should
go to that. Yeah. So but just like this is
the thing, if you make a decision for somebody else
and it don't turn out the way you want it
to be, you're gonna blame them you make the decision,
(26:06):
you know what I'm saying. If that's the one piece
of advice I can give you. You a young man, Now,
you're gonna be faced with a lot of decisions coming up,
and this is decisions that you gotta live with, not
nobody else. So always keep that in mind when you
when you're making these important decisions, because you know Tom
is gonna fly, you know, just like that junior season,
(26:30):
senior year and then it's gonna be like whoa.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But you know what's different today than you is that
and I can see it too, is that he has
a team that you didn't have, Like he's what Excel Sports. Yeah, right,
so their understanding of the market, Like what if you
had that, what if you had Excel telling you like information, yeah,
(26:55):
to help assist you. It's nothing for them to make
the decision. But you're getting this other cause you have
a team. He got you, he got me, right, You
didn't have that. Me and you were just sitting there
like and you telling me your stories and what you're
going through and it was just you.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You had your brothers who been through the experiences, but
they wasn't a part of the current landscape of the game,
you know what I'm saying. So like you didn't get
that advice, you know what I'm saying. So you was
out there. You made the right choice though, right, That's
what I'm saying. You've ma you made the right choice.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Right.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It's no infans about it because I never told you nothing.
I don't think I I said nothing because I understand
what I have to offer, but support.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You know what I'm saying. I don't got your opinion.
I'm your age like it.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It was so hard for me too, because this is the deal.
It's me and my mom. It's just me and my mom.
My two older brothers is already out of the house.
So the difficult part for me was like, damn, my
mom gonna be by herself. You know what I'm saying, Like, ma'am,
I'm going way over here, and I don't know when
I'm coming back. You know what I'm saying. I don't
have no money to get no plane ticket. I don't
(28:06):
I can't come home for Christmas. I can't come home
for Thanksgiving. I just remember being on campus like this
is if I made this decision, this is I'm gonna
be here. I've been. I remember being on campus Thanksgiving.
You know, a couple of people go home for a
couple of days. I'm in my door and by myself
playing video games. Christmas, real, real, for real. And I
remember I came home for a couple of days or
(28:27):
a week in the summer, and I was back out
in the back out on Kansas for the summer. Yeah,
just me and him on the campus, no students yet
before summer school started. So I really, I really love
the decision I made to make that move. Now, you
told me, you watch you watch a lot of Deer
(28:47):
and Fox, and what you what you want to work
on now in your game? What kind of weaknesses or
what you want to get better at? What you're working on?
How what's what you're working on.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Just patching up couple like inside moves, midies and stuff
like that. Get into my spot, finding my spots on
the court easier cause I'm gonna get you know, double team,
triple teams, So just finding my spots, and then definitely
like leading more. Definitely, like come into our leader road.
This being my second half of my year, so it's
(29:20):
more vocal, more vocal, definitely, just because this new team,
like they haven't been through what I've been through. None
of them have, except for probably Parker, but he hasn't
been through a lot of what I've done either. So
just trying to lead them and give them all the
knowledge I have, like going to these different camps, getting
all this information, stuff like that. Just trying to lead
them and just show them, like on the court and
(29:43):
stuff like that, different ways they can impact me and
help help us win the championship.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
All Right, So I'm gonna tell you what I think
you need to work on. I need to get all
the break more. I needed to learn how to move
without the ball. I've you need to learn to play
without the ball. That's just a few things. Now, you
you you're great with the ball, but when you get
(30:12):
to the next level, it's gonna be somebody just as
good or better than you. And the thing that I
had to learn when I was I had to learn
to play with other great players. Like I went to Kansas,
I played with like another McDonald's all American who was
the top point guard in the college. I played with
(30:33):
another American big man I played with. All the players
I played with were great in high school. So I
was just like damn I was. I played point guard
in my senior year, so I had to learn, like damn,
how can I have an impact if I don't have
the ball? And I think by me doing that, it
made me a better player. So when I came back
to the ball when I didn't have the ball, I
(30:55):
can play both ways. So that's just my observation. To
make it how you want it. You know what I'm saying.
I'm always here, Listen. I'm not here to criticize your game.
Like when I tell you how I look at you,
it's out of love, it's out of like cause you
got a lot of the tools. I'm just saying, if
(31:15):
you might need that in your back pocket. You know what,
if you you know, it may not never happen. You
may be a guy that's always been great with the
ball that you know, and that happens, but you might
you want to have that in your back pocket. You
know what I'm saying, Like, damn all right, I'm i
gotta move, I got a back door cut, or I
gotta set a screen boom. Be a better screener, you
know what I'm saying, Because if you're a guy that
get doubled. And that's what I had to learn, and
(31:37):
I didn't learn that until later in my NBA career.
I started becoming a better screener. And what I learned
from that is I got open more, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So that's the last thing you gotta work on right there.
For me, it's the understanding of the finer points of
the game. I think from a skill perspective, he doesn't
have any like, yeah, you can polish this up.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
He got left hand, right hand.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah. But the stuff I'm saying that's not skilled.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Stuff. For me.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
The screening is the aspect that I would like him
like that to improve on the screening. I think him
setting screens this year, I'm asking him to set better
screens to be able to, like you said, free his
teammate up, but also free yourself up. Yes, because you're
getting switches, you're getting confusion. Now, you're getting a different
(32:28):
level of intelligence because he's just been used to. Look,
I'm just gonna go at everybody now. As you're getting older,
you learn the game, being the core more great players.
Let me find ways to manipulate the defense. Like you said,
without the ball, then when I get the ball, I
have a greater advantage. Right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
So I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Anybody, anybody in else in the league that's reached out
you to give you some game.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Jason Tatum, Jason Tatum, you talked to Chase Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Talks on here and there. Uh, he gets always gives
me pointers and stuff like that. I text him every
couple of days and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Yeah, man, obviously Westbrook, Uh, playing for his program. We
talked very often. Just give me pointers and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
And sure that's dope. Yeah, that's dope. Man. Damn. I'm
just thinking, like damn if I was in high school
and I was talking to Jordan and Magic. Hey, Jordan's
hey man, how you be getting up on that fade away? Hey? Magic,
I need you to teach me that hook. God have
(33:36):
been crazy. Oh man, that's pretty dope. Man. You got
a lot of the resources right there.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Man.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And I just man, I just hope you know in
this day and age with N I L. Talk to
me about the N I L. Dog House House. How's
that coming on? You told me you got you've been
signing some cards. Yeah, you're working with Panini. Let's see
what that. Hold hold on, man, what's that signature looking like?
Let me see ye man, let me oh, this is
(34:04):
your signature.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, let's hold this.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Hold on, let me see man, let me see here here,
sign me up again, let me see sign me up
right here? Hey two, can you sign this for me?
Come on, it's gotta be quick. You gotta line. Oh man,
you gotta line. Who's being on that? Hey there? Go
(34:27):
look watch this. This is gonna evolve eventually as you
started growing.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah, they told me when like before I started signing
them to this is gonna evolve.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Let me show you what my order. My first autograph
looked like I still know how to write it. I
still know how to write it. This is my first
autograph looked.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Like who you're right there for? The Paul Pis girl.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Man, Like, that's what it looked like when I was
in high school. You can see every letter that so
now it looked like this, I got a line, all right.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Next that actually looked better. Though, this looked better.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
This, it evolved to this. It was this, all right,
and then it got to this.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
What's the little skirls right there?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
That's Paul Pierce don It was like you, I know,
I get to see the line.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I see the two p's, but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
But when you get a line people down the street,
let's get it, let's get it going. You know what
I'm saying. You ain't gonna see every letter.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
But you know what I want to say about that, though,
is that, uh, it's crazy. Like I think parents, and
this is my advice for parents, is that then all
process is a process that you need to be willing
to work with. You shouldn't be jumping into it trying
to do anything.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Just work with it.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Allow your kid because sitting there watching him sign five
thousand autographs, that's a professional thing for a kid, you know,
sixteen years old. He's coming home from school, got to
do his work out. Now you gotta sign a thousand.
It's like, you know what I'm saying, so, but also
think it's educational and it's getting him in the mindset
of the professionalism that's required of the business because if
(36:33):
you want to proceed, the business has evolved to so
much now you know, it's really truly about giving yourself
to the game because it's it's we got social media,
we got all these different avenues.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
That are required.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
You know what I and you can comment on this
because this is what I This is my philosophy about
being a professional. You got three responsibilities and you tell
me what you think about this. To prepare, promote, and perform.
That's it, the three p's of a professional. Prepare, promote,
but you gotta perform, you know, m hm.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
That's that's what it is. Now.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Yeah, you always had to You had to promote. You
had to promote. You was always getting called. They was
always have media after the game. You had to promote
the games. You gotta promote this media everywhere you go.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
That's the job.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, that's the job.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
You gotta prepare you're not going, but you gotta perform
all that working hard in practice that don't This is
pros when they come out and pay them tickets. You
gotta show up. That's what Artison was talking about. Were
talking about practice. You know, you gotta perform and you
gotta promote because if you do anything that brings negativity
to the game, it's gonna hurt your career. So you
(37:46):
gotta promote the program yourself in a good manner. So
I'll just tell kids, prepare, promote, perform. Those are your responsibilities.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
All right. Man, listen, this is your junior year. You
about to play your first game. How are you feeling
right now?
Speaker 5 (38:03):
I'm feeling good. Definitely a lot of mixed emotions. Definitely,
just because this is my first game. But I'm really excited,
just trying to put the angle with Jersey on.
Speaker 1 (38:13):

every era is different. Who is your goat?

Speaker 4 (39:00):
He's a guard, but he's not like a one. He's
more like combo.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
He like because now now it's now they have combos,
So like Curry's like more of a combo because because
you know, he's a combo, because he doesn't really he's combo.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
He's really can't even be in no position.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
