00:00 >> Yes, we already had our first meeting as a whole group,
00:05 like late last week and we had another meeting just the players.
00:11 A couple of days ago just kind of going about how we wanna attack this and
00:16 I'm not gonna state anything that we said in our messages.
00:20 Obviously we wanna keep that private for right now.
00:22 But I have some really good stuff in those messages and
00:26 we constantly communicate every day how we can get positive change for
00:31 not only ourselves but all the athletes across the country.

00:36 I mean, I kind of knew him before, just through AAU stuff.
00:40 We were really good friends throughout the high school circuits,
00:44 things like that.
00:45 So we talked a good bit about just all the issues that we wanna cover and
00:50 how we're gonna go about this.
00:52 So yeah, he's a great guy to have on our side.
00:54 And as you say, he's really outspoken.
00:56 So he's definitely gonna say what's on his mind and
00:58 he's definitely one for positive change.

01:06 >> Did you hear me? >> Honestly, before coming here,
01:08 you're always gonna be the best player on your team.
01:10 I mean, so for me, that's where a lot of my confidence had came from before.
01:15 And as you said, it's been quite a while since I've been tested like that.
01:21 I've had very few injuries in my life.
01:25 And I definitely not one that's kept me out for a month, month and a half span.
01:32 I probably said the only other injury like that I've had was when I was a bit
01:35 younger, so it really didn't affect me as much as it did now.
01:39 So just really things that kept me going is just my teammates.
01:43 Just saying that they're always there for me.
01:45 They're holding down everything while I'm gone.
01:47 And nothing's gonna change when I get back.
01:50 So just having my teammates behind me at all times,
01:53 I played a huge role in me being able to come back.
01:55 I just feel like that I never missed a beat, really.
