3:50 on listening to different music depending on his mood
4:07 on listening to quotes from NBA greats or documentaries, how nowadays someone on social media clipped it vs back in the day when you had to believe someone’s recounting of the event, and taking away from the experience a little bit, but then also the advantage of not having to be there
4:52 on traveling: best away game is in LA, staying in Beverly Hills
5:12 on playing against the Mexico City G League team: “the fans were amazing… the person beating on the drum.”
