00:00And, of course, Bobby Portis had a 25-game suspension that he sat out this year.
00:06He has just recently come back, and as he's going to tell you in this clip,
00:10he's had a very rough year.
00:14Ain't nothing going to bother me anymore.
00:16I done been through so much **** in my life the last year.
00:18I got thrown out a playoff game.
00:20I got robbed.
00:21My grandma died.
00:22I got suspended for 25 games.
00:23Can nobody knock me off my swag no more?
00:26Respectfully.
00:27Just saying, though, I'm here.
00:28I'm ready to hoop.
00:30I ain't hooped in a minute.
00:31I'm just ready to play ball.
00:32Check ball, man.
00:33We here.
00:34There you go.
00:35I mean, hey, lay it out for you.
00:40Check ball.
00:40He let you know.
00:41Let's go.
00:41Check ball.
00:42I mean, he's...
00:43No, he did.
00:43He got robbed.
00:44His house got robbed.
00:46His grandma died.
00:47He had everything suspended.
00:49You name it.
00:50And he's like, you can't knock me off my swag.
00:54Let's go.
00:55Check ball.
00:56Let's go.
00:57So, love it.
00:59Getting involved.
01:00Your boy, Bobby Portis.
01:01Of course, the Pacers and the Bucs will open up on Saturday.
01:06Did you know he was that cool?
01:07I never...
01:07Because he always has those bug eyes.
01:09I never knew he was that cool.
01:12He's just laid back off the court.
01:14You know, he's just trying to be chill.
01:15He's just like...
01:16Like he said, like he's had a lot of...
01:18A lot of bad stuff going on for him last year.
01:19Gummy Bear City.
01:21He's just trying to get right.
01:23And he just wants to hoop.
01:24So, he'll start hooping Saturday.
01:27Game one.
01:28Bucs and the Pacers in Indiana.
01:30They're going to need him.
01:31They're going to need him when they lose that series.
01:33They're going to need him.
01:34Aaron Gordon of the Nuggets.
01:35His first player in NBA history to improve at least 10% in three-point percentage and free-throw percentage from one year to the next.
01:45He went up 14.6% on his threes.
01:48Went up 15.2% from the line this year.
01:53Call that dedication when you're able to work that hard.
01:57First guy in history to ever do it.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Both.
02:00At the same...
02:01Both.
02:0110-plus in the same season year to year.
02:03That's crazy.
02:04Big jump.
02:05Tremendous job by him.
02:07And James Harden also.
02:10Since 2012...
02:11Since the 2012-2013 season.
02:14So, you're talking about 12 years now.
02:16Harden is second in the NBA in 20-point games.
02:19And he has the most 30-plus, 40-plus, and 50-plus games in that time span.
02:27And you sent me that clip of him talking into practice yesterday.
02:30And sometimes those clips are tough because, you know, there's like 600 balls bouncing behind a guy's head.
02:35And it's impossible to hear him.
02:37But I heard what he said, basically.
02:39If it wasn't for Steph and the Warriors, I'd probably have a title.
02:41It's pretty much summing up.
02:43That's why I sent it.
02:44Because he's like, you know, I'm a badass.
02:48And the reason I don't have any rings is because of Steph Curry.
02:50And he goes, but look at the reality of it is.
02:55That's why I sent that stuff today.
02:57Because that is crazy.
02:59Second most 20-plus.
03:01And the most, the most, 30, 40, and 50 games.
03:06He's the king of big scoring games.
03:10And people don't respect him at all because he has no rings.
03:16My man can flat-out torch your ass playing basketball.
03:22I mean, this guy scores at will.
03:25And I am telling you, that team he's on now with Kawhi Leonard and Zubats and Powell and Jones, they mean business.
03:35And this cat is going to put on some shows in this postseason.
03:38Trust me, he's filling it up.
03:40And they're going to need him, obviously, as you mentioned, because they have a big test ahead with the Nuggets, of course.
03:51That starts on Saturday as well.
