25:00 on Quinones
28:45 on any influence from Steph: warmup rituals, how they keep their lockers, got a personality like Steph and old soul, wanted BP to be a baseball player, military HS tidiness, jerseys on the same side, CP's shoes are all over the place -- the back of a foot locker
32:00 on Moody's "old soul" as well, Mo's HS team was epic, BP played vs Mo in AAU, BP played up in AAU, travel baseball in summer to use other muscles, two years up on the team, all 3 shoe companies wanted him on their AAU, Team Phenom (Tyler Herro), they had one of the best teams for Peach Jam during COVID (PBJ, Tyrese Hunter, Kobe Johnson Jalen's bro at USC), on Milwaukee being perceived to be a football hotbed not hoops (Tyrese Haliburton)
39:00 age 13 told his dad he wasn't challenged by baseball, the story of driving home after a loss at Vanderbilt tournament, "I don't love it anymore", wanted to be the guy to close (get everyone out, deliberately put guys on base, very good pitcher, the crazy pass to Steph for the game-winner
43:00 done them more than once at both corners! in 12 tries at Chase Center ask Dustin who hit a halfcourt in two tries?
44:30 on make it challenging for HORSE, having extra push-ups, most is h-o-r
46:30 lefty relief pitcher, arm angle, location, great location and change-up, on tipping your pitch, painting the corners, curve ball that went in or outwards
49:00 dad: he lived my dream for throwing out first pitch at Giants, could've gotten up to 91
53:00 BP did a future board to say he wanted to play in the NBA, 12th grade, "whatever you dream, why not you?", best 40 Catholic team and play each other, verbally telling dad what he was gonna do, got an invite for only the 4th time in 59 years, celebration at bowling alley, coach had said only 40 teams in this tournament, dad said "he's not Kobe" and BP said "we're gonna win it... I'll win (MVP) too"
58:15 on manifesting Kentucky, on Coach Cal wanting to do a Zoom
59:00 "we're at the point of WHY NOT", on Dunleavy "I'm sure he's gonna prove me wrong", future board on team and for himself, goals: not be in G League and All-Star Weekend and everything else is get to the playoffs
1:02:00 have the same persona of knowing he was gonna be an athlete, "I love watching the highlights but not him, looking at his teammates, his coach and esp the fans", that's why said on the Draft that he'll run through a wall"
1:08:00 DUSTIN JOINS US, confirms John made halfcourt shots twice, ran in the snow to Rising Stars, Gerald Giddings U Mary in North Dakota
1:12:00 on point-of-attack defending, watching film, establish more control
1:13:00 on Kerr mentioning BP over-helping, making up for other people's mistakes, picking his spots, give up the layup instead of the 3
1:15:30 on the kickouts like in the Clippers game, on the game-planning
1:17:15 on what they talk about in getting ready: rest and nutrition, win 2 out of every 3 games
1:19:15 on BP's shot: on being 46% then going 3-for-25, confidence issue, connected with Mike Dunn in Philadelphia via online subscription (first time in person), important to have synergy when there's multiple guys training
1:21:00 analytics of midrange, he's both team-drive and personally-driven, making first team All-Rookie, midrange game is part of that, even though that's more off-season, esp later in the shot clock
