00:00Whether he had played in the last year and a half or not,
00:03I think it's a big deal when it's your first game as a Laker.
00:07We've had conversations.
00:08He understands what this is and the pressures that come with it.
00:11I think it was a good opening statement for him.
00:15Yeah, I'm extremely thankful.
00:18Playing with the guys that we have on our team,
00:19I wish I could say it was really difficult,
00:22but they're just so good.
00:24Their court vision is insane.
00:26My advantage is my height.
00:29So, yeah, they found me in the right spots.
00:32JJ mentioned that he thought one of the initial keys
00:34was just the running that you did in transition.
00:36Yeah, contrary to my name, I run a lot.
00:44I'm glad y'all got that.
00:47I've always been like that.
00:48I think when I run, it keeps me engaged in the game.
00:52I mean, there's even times where I'll run needlessly
00:55just because every once in a while one might come off the rim,
01:00whether on offense or defense,
01:01he might get a rebound or a putback,
01:03and then it opens up a lot of the shooters on the perimeter.
