00:00 The Dallas Mavericks have started training camp and they had their media day last week.
00:04 You were there.
00:04 I was there.
00:05 It was so highly entertaining and I'll say one of my biggest takeaways was Grant Williams,
00:12 new Mav, he was the first Maverick to come out and speak with the media and I think he
00:16 must have had some sort of truth or dare where he had to flex after every answer that he
00:22 gave and finally halfway through I'm like, does he have a, like, is he...
00:26 Is he having a tick?
00:27 Is something going on?
00:28 Yeah.
00:29 And then I realized, no, no, no, this is...
00:31 It's a bet?
00:32 It's gotta be a bet.
00:33 Wow.
00:34 But he was hysterical and he smiled the entire time, super infectious and I really feel like
00:40 he's gonna bring that Bobon-like funness that the Mavs haven't had ever since they lost
00:46 Bobon who was, of course, Luca Danticic's best friend.
00:49 Liz would love to hear that.
00:50 Yes.
00:51 And I'm not sure, you know, if Luca and Grant are gonna be best friends or not or whatever,
00:54 but I will say he's gonna be a very interesting locker room add.
00:58 Is there anything that stood out to you?
00:59 I mean, let's talk about Grant Williams because when he was with the Celtics, I was not really
01:04 a fan.
01:07 He's built kind of like a power forward, but he loves to shoot threes and, you know, what
01:12 he's infamous for is in the finals last year, the East finals, getting in the face of Jimmy
01:17 Butler and then Jimmy Butler goes, get out of my face and I'm gonna score 50 on you.
01:21 You know, you don't poke that bear.
01:23 Like, his basketball IQ has always been questioned, but he brings some toughness.
01:28 He can defend on the perimeter and he can shoot the three.
01:30 So I do think he's better on the court and if he's that personality, then he's going
01:34 to be better off the court as well.
01:36 The thing that stuck out to me was Kyrie.
01:38 Of course, anytime he talks, it's like you have to kind of decide for what Kyrie speak.
01:43 Yeah.
01:44 But he said, we're the best duo in the league.
01:46 Everybody knows that we're killers.
01:47 We're talking about me and Luca.
01:49 And I'm like, people do know that, but it's reputation.
01:53 It's reputation.
01:54 Yeah.
01:55 We're great.
01:56 We know we're going to be great.
01:57 We're going to be great because last year, maybe it was thrown together at the last minute,
02:01 but we did not see them be the best duo last year.
02:04 So he's laying it out there now.
02:05 Let's see it.
02:06 Maybe Grant Williams will flex them all the way to be a good duo.
02:08 Flex them all the way there.
