The Professor

I’m Going to Win This

I’m traveling and dialing in my mindset for the next stop. As I head to France, I keep repeating one message to myself: I’m going to win this.

Quick Game for Mom’s Request

My mom points out her son and asks me to play him, so I step in for a quick run. We talk lightly, count buckets, and reset when we need to. I focus on getting to my jumper and using the space that’s there.

Fan Moment and Next-Time Run

I get stopped for a quick chat and some love. We exchange a few words, I appreciate it, and I tell him we’ll get a game in next time.

Calling the Crowd to Stand Up

I’m at an event and the energy is building. I call for everyone to stand up and bring it, like we’re about to run a game. It’s a quick burst of crowd hype before the action.

Tense Phone Call, Close Call

I pick up the phone and immediately start asking questions—who is this and what do you want. The situation escalates fast, and I keep telling someone to stop. The clip ends with the tension still high.

Dribble Beat Check After 7 Weeks

I haven’t touched a ball in seven weeks, so I test my dribble and rhythm. After the quick run-through, I ask, “That’s it?”

Talk, Then We Hoop

We agree to play and keep it fun, but the confidence comes fast. He says it’s easy and that I’m just like everyone else, then the run turns into loud reactions on the next move. When it’s over, he says he didn’t quit—he’s just tired.

Don’t Worry About Going Viral

A guy questions whether the moment would go viral and downplays what happened. I keep it simple and tell him not to worry about it.

She Gave Me the Sauce

I ask if I can come in, and they wave me through like it’s nothing. We’re laughing and talking while I’m trying to figure out where to go next. Then she hands me some sauce and I’m like, alright—say less. I grab it, thank them, and keep it pushing.

30-Minute Hoop Run in Shanghai

I squeeze in a quick 30-minute hoop session while I’m in Shanghai.

Quick Goodbye After the Dubai Stop

The clip catches the end of my Dubai stop as I thank everyone for being there and close it out. It’s a simple send-off with a quick goodbye before we move on to the next part of the trip.

Tour Talk and a Quick Rant

I talk about taking tour dates, but the audio is hard to follow, so it lands more like a quick off-the-cuff rant.

Quick Advice, Lots of Energy

It’s a quick moment where I’m talking straight and loud, like I’m trying to wake somebody up. The main point is simple: stop overthinking and get in the gym. Sometimes that’s all the advice you need.

I Went For It

I hype myself up repeating “I’m gonna go for it,” then we get a quick reaction and a little back-and-forth. Someone gives me props and I appreciate it. The audio turns chaotic and cuts off before you see what happens next.

Who’s a Better Ball Handler Than Me

I throw out a quick challenge in Spanish: stay quiet until you can name someone with better handles than me. It’s a short confidence moment, said straight-up, before the clip ends.

How I Got the Name “The Professor”

I remember getting the name “The Professor” and immediately wondering if it was even dope. Over time it started to fit—partly how I looked, and partly how I was schooling people on the court. Duke Tango treated me like family, calling me his godson, and that nickname stuck for life.
