4
00:00:54,295 --> 00:00:59,266
[Darius] First I called the guy
who recruited me.

5
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:04,271
He spent all that time trying
to get me on board

6
00:01:04,305 --> 00:01:07,412
so I let him know first.
Boeheim called me, and then

7
00:01:07,446 --> 00:01:13,590
boeheim's like, Darius, you
need to think this through.

8
00:01:13,625 --> 00:01:15,316
Little did he know, I'd been thinking

9
00:01:15,351 --> 00:01:17,974
about this for liketwo,
three months now. It isn't just

10
00:01:18,008 --> 00:01:20,045
it isn't just I woke up the
next day, I'm like, yeah.

11
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,393
I told him, I don't even know
how to put this right now.

12
00:01:23,428 --> 00:01:25,947
I'm, I'm not coming to Syracuse.

13
00:01:25,982 --> 00:01:28,950
[Reporter] We have breakingnews
here in Syracuse as Darius

14
00:01:28,985 --> 00:01:31,125
bazley has de-committed from the orange.

15
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,024
I'm standing here with Darius
bazley, the first guy to jump

16
00:01:34,059 --> 00:01:35,474
straight from high school to
the g league.

17
00:01:35,509 --> 00:01:38,201
[Reporter] Darius bazley,
let'stalk about this, the

18
00:01:38,236 --> 00:01:39,961
ninth-rated recruit in the

19
00:01:39,996 --> 00:01:43,103
class of 2018, according to
ESPN.Com, he has de-committed

20
00:01:43,137 --> 00:01:47,935
from Syracuse to play in the g league.

21
00:01:47,969 --> 00:01:53,596
[♪Graduation music]

22
00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:55,908
We live in a society now where everybody

23
00:01:55,943 --> 00:01:58,980
abides by the rules.

24
00:01:59,015 --> 00:02:00,499
[Rewind sound]

25
00:02:00,534 --> 00:02:04,400
And people don't even
know whatthe rules is,

26
00:02:04,434 --> 00:02:05,125
or where it came from.

27
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:06,505
They just abide by it.

28
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:10,440
[Jay] When garnet and Kobe
cameout I think people where still

29
00:02:10,475 --> 00:02:11,855
having a hard time, myself

30
00:02:11,890 --> 00:02:14,858
included, wrapping their
headaround the idea of a high school

31
00:02:14,893 --> 00:02:18,068
kid going into the NBA.

32
00:02:18,103 --> 00:02:20,001
I mean, to be honest, I don't even really

33
00:02:20,036 --> 00:02:23,143
remember exactly when the pushback

34
00:02:23,177 --> 00:02:26,422
started. I mean, LeBron James
is arguably the best player

35
00:02:26,456 --> 00:02:29,252
of all time, and a couple of
years after he goes pro we're

36
00:02:29,287 --> 00:02:30,736
going to ban people from doing that?

37
00:02:30,771 --> 00:02:34,430
Why are we considering holding
dudes back from making

38
00:02:34,464 --> 00:02:38,123
an honest living when we don't
do that in tennis

39
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:39,435
we don't do it

40
00:02:39,469 --> 00:02:41,989
in golf, we don't do it when
itcomes to serving our country?

41
00:02:42,023 --> 00:02:46,821
Well, I, I think at the time, my own view

42
00:02:46,856 --> 00:02:50,756
was that we didn't want our scouts

43
00:02:50,791 --> 00:02:52,862
in a high school gymnasium.

44
00:02:52,896 --> 00:02:56,866
Just what a good look for the
NBA to kind of be chasing

45
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,040
around kind of high school kids.

46
00:02:59,075 --> 00:03:03,148
Frankly, I don't know what the
difference is between that and

47
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,115
seeing them in college at gyms.

48
00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:09,603
The NBA is saying, well, this
is really something the ncaa

49
00:03:09,637 --> 00:03:11,225
could fix. And we have the

50
00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:13,054
ncaa saying, weare
powerless because that's an

51
00:03:13,089 --> 00:03:16,437
NBA rule. A circular argument
going on there.

52
00:03:16,472 --> 00:03:20,269
But once that rule came into
effect, now it's like, all

53
00:03:20,303 --> 00:03:21,753
right. Now, let me, let me

54
00:03:21,787 --> 00:03:23,651
hone in on the college that fits me.

55
00:03:23,686 --> 00:03:26,067
Yes, athletes are paid in an
education, the only

56
00:03:26,102 --> 00:03:28,346
currency more difficult to
spend than bitcoin.

57
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:31,349
[Dave] With Kevin durant, man,
we was talking college

58
00:03:31,383 --> 00:03:32,522
because he committed to Texas

59
00:03:32,557 --> 00:03:34,731
and then I committed
to the university of Richmond.

60
00:03:34,766 --> 00:03:37,665
Michael beasley was on
theteam. Mike wasn't talking about

61
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:42,118
college. He went from aau to
the, you know what I'm saying?

62
00:03:42,152 --> 00:03:45,017
Just because you're a really
good basketball player,

63
00:03:45,052 --> 00:03:47,434
doesn't mean you're ready, uh, physically

64
00:03:47,468 --> 00:03:50,264
emotionally and the like to
step into the NBA at age 18.

65
00:03:50,299 --> 00:03:53,267
But there is something
slightlytroubling about a billion

66
00:03:53,302 --> 00:03:56,753
dollar sports enterprise where
the athletes are not paid a penny,

67
00:03:56,788 --> 00:03:59,894
because they aren't. And
as thehead of the ncaa Mark

68
00:03:59,929 --> 00:04:02,932
emmert will tell you, they
don't want that to change.

69
00:04:02,966 --> 00:04:06,418
This was another way of us assuring

70
00:04:06,453 --> 00:04:09,145
that your pick wasn't based upon

71
00:04:09,179 --> 00:04:15,013

bunch of kids. [Chuckle]

that he fail. People hoped
Darius

00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:26,852
failed because of the system.
People hope

Darius failed because he's
represented by rich Paul.

say, love the game, a lot of

people love what they get from

80
00:04:38,726 --> 00:04:40,245
the game. It's a separating
factor.

Look at all the top guys in
ourleague right now. All guys

82
00:04:44,111 --> 00:04:48,080
performing well. They love the
game. Kevin durant right now,

83
00:04:48,115 --> 00:04:52,326
today, will play basketball in
this room right now.

84
00:04:52,361 --> 00:04:54,777
He don't care. He just loves
the game.

Take one.

he can handle, shoot,

87
00:04:59,091 --> 00:05:03,889
athletic and he loves the
game? Oh, you know what?

90
00:05:07,445 --> 00:05:12,070
I believe college is necessary
for most kids. Right?

91
00:05:12,104 --> 00:05:14,279
And most kids aren't one and done.

92
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:19,249
It was truly about trying to
dowhat's best for Darius. And,

93
00:05:19,284 --> 00:05:22,598
when you take on this
responsibility, my mind was,

94
00:05:22,632 --> 00:05:24,427
just kept racing about environment

95
00:05:24,462 --> 00:05:27,430
and what is this kid going to
do for, you know, the next

96
00:05:27,465 --> 00:05:32,021
eight months and how can I put
him in the best position

97
00:05:32,055 --> 00:05:35,404
to where he's not behind?

98
00:05:45,448 --> 00:05:50,142
[Yell] Give it to me! Give it
to me!

99
00:05:50,177 --> 00:05:54,457
He could never have done that.
Oh my god!

we now have puma and new
balance coming back in,

103
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,643
having abandoned the industry.

104
00:06:07,677 --> 00:06:11,198
[Patrick] There was a time
whennew balance was very much part

105
00:06:11,232 --> 00:06:14,581
of the NBA and on the feet of
lots of NBA athletes in the

106
00:06:14,615 --> 00:06:18,412
80's the times change. Goals
change. Businesses change.

107
00:06:18,447 --> 00:06:22,243
[Ben] They were in a decent
Lane of performance running.

108
00:06:22,278 --> 00:06:26,006
They started to develop a bit
of a kind of

109
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,456
dad shoe reputation.

110
00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:29,596
[Patrick] A handful years ago,
there was a desire

111
00:06:29,630 --> 00:06:30,942
for the brand to be seen more

112
00:06:30,976 --> 00:06:33,531
as a global sports brand, not
just a running brand.

113
00:06:33,565 --> 00:06:37,776
[Ben] It's hard to be a huge
global footwear brand

114
00:06:37,811 --> 00:06:39,433
if you don't have basketball.

115
00:06:39,468 --> 00:06:41,435
[Jay w.] I know what Nike
standsfor. I know what Adidas stands

116
00:06:41,470 --> 00:06:45,439
for. There's kind of this
blankcanvas with new balance

00:06:45,474 --> 00:06:49,857

to do next? Pphow are you

118
00:06:49,892 --> 00:06:51,894
going to come to market?

Well, de-committed from Ohio
state or de-committed

121
00:06:56,485 --> 00:07:00,765
from Syracuse? Oh, I see. Okay.

122
00:07:00,799 --> 00:07:04,009
Uh, and then he de-committed
from the g league.

123
00:07:04,044 --> 00:07:07,910
So he's in the de-commitment stage.

124
00:07:12,984 --> 00:07:14,882
In my head I'm like, new balance?

125

Guys his age don't even get this and I'll

128
00:07:31,934 --> 00:07:34,454
speak to him about how he feelsabout it.

129
00:07:34,488 --> 00:07:36,559
Then that'll help us
understandwhat's the next step.

[Rachel Nichols] Darius bazley
is now participating in what

131
00:07:38,837 --> 00:07:42,462
could add up to a million
dollar internship with

132
00:07:42,496 --> 00:07:43,773
new balance.

133
00:07:43,808 --> 00:07:45,465
He's going to be an intern. He
starts in

134
00:07:45,499 --> 00:07:46,500
January. It's for
three months.

135
00:07:46,535 --> 00:07:48,157
He'll live in Boston.

136
00:07:48,191 --> 00:07:50,193
New balance? Oh, they signed
Darius bazley. Oh, that's

137
00:07:50,228 --> 00:07:51,436
pretty dope. He's doing
something different.

138
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:54,922
There aren't that many
internships that, where guys

139
00:07:54,957 --> 00:07:56,786
are offered a million
dollars tobe anppintern.

140
00:07:56,821 --> 00:08:00,376
He done finessed the whole situation.

141
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:01,929
I like him. I don't know him,
but

142
00:08:01,964 --> 00:08:04,967
I like him. Damn, I
should've tried that shit.

143
00:08:05,001 --> 00:08:08,349
As far as just thinking, like,
dang you know.

144
00:08:08,384 --> 00:08:09,627
A million dollar intern.

145
00:08:09,661 --> 00:08:12,940
I mean, it's great. But it's
like for me, my life didn't

146
00:08:12,975 --> 00:08:16,841
change. You know, I, I'mwearing
new balances now, that's

147
00:08:16,875 --> 00:08:18,498
the only thing.

148
00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:24,538
For him deciding not to play
in the g league and saying, I'm

149
00:08:24,573 --> 00:08:27,403
going to take a year to train,
I thought was the

150
00:08:27,437 --> 00:08:30,613
most fascinating and
disruptivething I've ever

151
00:08:30,648 --> 00:08:33,133
seen in basketball.

152
00:08:33,167 --> 00:08:37,275
[Ben] I do think it's possible
to bust your ass for eight

153
00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:40,450
months without being on a team
and not hurt your pro

154
00:08:40,485 --> 00:08:43,799
potential, but I'm sure it
takes a lot of discipline.

155
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:46,353
[Jay w.] People pay attention
toespn. People pay attention to

156
00:08:46,387 --> 00:08:47,630
all these different news sites. They hear

157
00:08:47,665 --> 00:08:50,702
what pundits say. They hear
what we talk about.

158
00:08:50,737 --> 00:08:54,050
If you're playing behind
closeddoors, you don't have to go

159
00:08:54,085 --> 00:08:57,571
through that. Now that's a
giftin a way, but it's also a curse

160
00:08:57,606 --> 00:09:02,818
because we're not talking
about you. Now you're an enigma.

161
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:13,345
[Ben] The best high school
basketball players have

162
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:15,002
had a level of fame

163
00:09:15,037 --> 00:09:18,281
going back to lew alcindor.
What has changed

164
00:09:18,316 --> 00:09:22,354
dramatically is how they
get toinfluence it. You know.

165
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:23,873
It used to be just newspapers

166
00:09:23,908 --> 00:09:27,290
shaped how they were viewed.
Thanks to social media,

167
00:09:27,325 --> 00:09:30,742
if a fan is interested they
canget it right from the kid now.

168
00:09:30,777 --> 00:09:33,642
[Jay w.] Kids are building
brands at a lot earlier

169
00:09:33,676 --> 00:09:35,195
stages than we ever thought.

170
00:09:35,229 --> 00:09:39,130
LeBron is a brand, and then
Steph curry and Kevin durant

171
00:09:39,164 --> 00:09:44,135
and you name it. The players
have moved right in with their

172
00:09:44,169 --> 00:09:46,447
social media, et cetera.

173
00:09:46,482 --> 00:09:49,450
Very good. Breath.

174
00:09:49,485 --> 00:09:51,970

[♪Music]

176
00:10:06,088 --> 00:10:08,642
No, I've definitely dealt with
young kids like this before

177
00:10:08,677 --> 00:10:12,715
just Darius was significantly
different coming straight out

178
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:14,061
of high school.

179

[♪Music]

180
00:10:41,295 --> 00:10:44,436
[Michele] There's no question
but that 18 is young. 18

181
00:10:44,471 --> 00:10:47,439
is very young. I recall when I
was 18

182
00:10:47,474 --> 00:10:51,651
how much I thought I knew, and
I now know how little I knew.

[Water faucet running]

185
00:11:05,492 --> 00:11:09,392
[Dave] At 18, me personally,
going straight from high school

186
00:11:09,427 --> 00:11:13,431
to a office environment would,
uhh, would be a shock.

187
00:11:13,465 --> 00:11:16,227
You know what I mean? I feel
like it would be a

188
00:11:16,261 --> 00:11:17,435
definite culture shock for me.

189
00:11:17,469 --> 00:11:23,268
[Patrick] I can personally
attest to the months

190
00:11:23,303 --> 00:11:24,511
and the weeks before

191
00:11:24,545 --> 00:11:26,237
he moved in, people asking me
almost every single day

192
00:11:26,271 --> 00:11:28,515
where's he going to sit? Who's
he reporting to?

193
00:11:28,549 --> 00:11:30,448
Is he actually going to do
work? Is this for real?

194
00:11:30,482 --> 00:11:35,625
We promised him, we promised his family,

195
00:11:35,660 --> 00:11:37,455
we promised rich that it was.

196
00:11:37,489 --> 00:11:38,801
This was going to be a real
deal thing. You're

197
00:11:38,836 --> 00:11:41,459
coming to work every day.

198
00:11:59,166 --> 00:12:02,825
Of course you're nervous,
you're concerned.

199
00:12:07,209 --> 00:12:10,177
[David] And you get butterflies.

200
00:12:25,641 --> 00:12:27,712
[David] When I became commissioner

201
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,438
we came back to
the office, I was an adult,

202
00:12:29,472 --> 00:12:31,440
and I turned around to the
guysand said, what are we ...,

203
00:12:31,474 --> 00:12:33,442
and the girls. I said, what do
we do now?

204
00:12:33,476 --> 00:12:36,652
"Oh my god, what did we get
ourselves into?"

205
00:12:47,456 --> 00:12:51,425
It will be overwhelming for
some kids to be, okay,

206
00:12:51,460 --> 00:12:54,428
hi, you've graduated high
school. Now you're an intern.

[Office chatter] [Ball bounce]

209
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:07,959
Coming from high school, I'm
used to going to school

210
00:13:07,994 --> 00:13:11,445
in a class filled around my peers.

211
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,796
Hi. I'm Jamie. Nice to meet
you. I'm really short.

212
00:13:16,830 --> 00:13:18,211
I'm Linda. Great to meet you.

213
00:13:18,245 --> 00:13:21,421
[Darius] You know, I'm able to
like clown around in the

214
00:13:21,455 --> 00:13:25,425
classroom, crack jokes, be on
my phone, you know, like,

215
00:13:25,459 --> 00:13:28,359
blurt out certain stuff here
and then, so you go to

216
00:13:28,393 --> 00:13:31,155
work, and it's just kind of like...

217
00:13:35,607 --> 00:13:37,506
[Darius] You just want to be
professional, but you don't

218
00:13:37,540 --> 00:13:40,405
really don't know like what to do like,

219
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,131
I just didn't want people to not like me.

220
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:45,445
So in workday, you're going to
have to log the hours

221
00:13:45,479 --> 00:13:46,687
that you work every day.

222
00:13:46,722 --> 00:13:48,862
Umm, and there... I printed
this for you so it's just-

223
00:13:48,897 --> 00:13:51,313
[Darius] So it's kind of like clocking
and clocking out? Ppyeah, clocking in

224
00:13:51,347 --> 00:13:55,489
I'm sure it was a crazy
cultureshock for Darius.

225
00:13:55,524 --> 00:13:59,079
What questions do you have?
Anything? Ppno, nothing right now.

226
00:13:59,114 --> 00:14:01,185
[Jamie] I know, it's
probably a lot right now.

227
00:14:01,219 --> 00:14:02,807
But your tax forms and stuff.

228
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:05,430
I don't know what tax is. I
mean, I know

229
00:14:05,465 --> 00:14:06,466
what tax is but I don't...

230
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,295
Yeah, and that's why... so, I
can't legally

231
00:14:08,330 --> 00:14:10,297
tell you what to put here.

232
00:14:10,332 --> 00:14:12,472
[Phone ringing]

233
00:14:15,544 --> 00:14:17,926

B bro.

00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,481
What's up?
I am being sent home

235
00:14:21,515 --> 00:14:25,312
already, bro. [Rich] You're
only 27 minutes into this

236
00:14:25,347 --> 00:14:27,694
job. There's no way.
[Darius] No, I'm just playing,

237
00:14:27,728 --> 00:14:30,421
I was about to say, man, there's no way.

238
00:14:30,455 --> 00:14:31,905
I was about to say.

239
00:14:31,940 --> 00:14:33,976
[Darius] No, but there's a formi got

240
00:14:34,011 --> 00:14:36,392
to fill out on here and
it's about taxes, and I

241
00:14:36,427 --> 00:14:39,430
don't know anything about
this. So I kind of need to know..

242
00:14:39,464 --> 00:14:42,951
These are all our like...
Employee handbook,

243
00:14:42,985 --> 00:14:44,435
the confidentiality agreement.

244
00:14:44,469 --> 00:14:46,644
[Darius] At first, I thought,
you know, a shoe,

245
00:14:46,678 --> 00:14:48,680
people are just putting
together random colors and

246
00:14:48,715 --> 00:14:52,995
selling them I learned that
that's not how it goes.

247
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:57,655
[Fast forward sound]

248
00:14:57,689 --> 00:14:59,795
In this blocking, I don't love.

249
00:14:59,829 --> 00:15:03,488
The language barrier, I think
sometimes happens in corporate

250
00:15:03,523 --> 00:15:08,390
america where there's a
different vernacular that

251
00:15:08,424 --> 00:15:10,012
people speak at.

252
00:15:10,047 --> 00:15:12,428
[Fast forward sound]

253
00:15:12,463 --> 00:15:14,948
[Darius] What do you mean by
blocking again?

254
00:15:14,983 --> 00:15:19,263
[Fast forward sound]

255
00:15:19,297 --> 00:15:23,577
All this goes into the final
product of me having

256
00:15:23,612 --> 00:15:24,958
a shoe that I wear on the courtand

257
00:15:24,993 --> 00:15:27,443
you paying me a couple of
millions of dollars?

258
00:15:27,478 --> 00:15:29,652
[Fast forward sound]

259
00:15:29,687 --> 00:15:33,553
[Sigh] This is harder then I thought.

260
00:15:33,587 --> 00:15:36,728
Oh. This is what work really
is.

261
00:15:36,763 --> 00:15:40,146
This is what the grind of work really is.

262
00:15:40,180 --> 00:15:41,664
It would have been different
for him going to

263
00:15:41,699 --> 00:15:44,081
college and dealing with
professors that he's never

264
00:15:44,115 --> 00:15:45,703
had to deal with or in subjectshe's never

265
00:15:45,737 --> 00:15:47,912
taken before or never contemplated.

266
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:51,088
You know. Everything at that
age that you do is new.

267
00:15:51,122 --> 00:15:54,436
And so of course, I don't know anybody

268
00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:56,300
that goes into a first job and he says,

269
00:15:56,334 --> 00:15:59,268
well, I got this knocked.

270
00:15:59,303 --> 00:16:02,858
I'm going to have to figure this out.

271
00:16:05,826 --> 00:16:07,483
[Jay w.] As much as I
thought iknew what training

272
00:16:07,518 --> 00:16:10,176
was, I didn't know anything about my

273
00:16:10,210 --> 00:16:13,213
body. I just came from losing
the sweet

274
00:16:13,248 --> 00:16:14,870
16 or winning a championship

275
00:16:14,904 --> 00:16:16,596
the year before and having a
pizza after practice.

276
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:20,186
You in high school, hanging
around with your friends,

277
00:16:20,220 --> 00:16:21,428
getting up shots for an hour.

278
00:16:21,463 --> 00:16:24,431
You think that's a hard
workout. That's not a workout.

279
00:16:24,466 --> 00:16:27,020
That is not the kind
ofconditioning your body needs in

280
00:16:27,055 --> 00:16:32,336
order for you to be successful
at the 0.0001% level.

281
00:16:34,476 --> 00:16:37,306
It's not the same as going
to gleague practice every day.

282
00:16:37,341 --> 00:16:39,101
It's not the same as going to
college practice

283
00:16:39,136 --> 00:16:40,620
every day. It's not the same
as going to

284
00:16:40,654 --> 00:16:41,793
practice in Europe every day.

285
00:16:41,828 --> 00:16:43,657
[Pierre] You're going to be
playing in that spot,

286
00:16:43,692 --> 00:16:45,418
Trevor ariza, in that corner.

287
00:16:45,452 --> 00:16:47,247
And then, they're going to ask
you to come out of

288
00:16:47,282 --> 00:16:49,905
that corner, like Trevor ariza
and you got to make a play

289
00:16:49,939 --> 00:16:52,287
going downhill. You got to makea route

290
00:16:52,321 --> 00:16:53,736
coming off the screen.
It shows me

291
00:16:53,771 --> 00:16:57,982
how good and where you want to
be and what's at stake. Now, I

292
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:00,433
got to be the one to be like, come on.

293
00:17:00,467 --> 00:17:02,918
This is what's at stake. Let's
go.

294
00:17:02,952 --> 00:17:06,887
I would say for Darius that
when I initially saw his game,

295
00:17:06,922 --> 00:17:08,717
he looked extremely thin.

296
00:17:08,751 --> 00:17:11,513
All I want you to do is make
that needle go as far as

297
00:17:11,547 --> 00:17:13,101
you can. Push down just far

298
00:17:13,135 --> 00:17:14,826
as you can. Nice. Because you
will do that for

299
00:17:14,861 --> 00:17:17,691
almost two minutes. Okay?
That's our goal.

300
00:17:18,589 --> 00:17:19,797
While breathing.

301
00:17:19,831 --> 00:17:21,385
[Jay w.] I think one of
the things that I worried

302
00:17:21,419 --> 00:17:23,387
about with him is, how about his sides?

303
00:17:23,421 --> 00:17:25,423
Hey, is this going to happen intime?

304
00:17:25,458 --> 00:17:27,598
Can he, you know, gain weight?

305
00:17:31,464 --> 00:17:33,638
[Jay w.] Can you shoot the ball if
you play with James harden?

306
00:17:33,673 --> 00:17:35,916
Can you be that guy
that can shoot the ball

307
00:17:35,951 --> 00:17:37,401
consistently from the three
point line, because the

308
00:17:37,435 --> 00:17:38,574
defense is always going to collapse

309
00:17:38,609 --> 00:17:41,439
on a op three or a James
harden? But also, can you pace

310
00:17:41,474 --> 00:17:44,787
the game? Can you run?
And thenalso, are you long?

311
00:17:44,822 --> 00:17:45,995
Can you be a solid defender?

312
00:17:46,030 --> 00:17:50,931
Can I put you on a guy like
giannis and say, try?

313
00:17:50,966 --> 00:17:54,142
[♪Music]

314
00:17:54,176 --> 00:17:57,283
[Michele] What happens with
theone and done rule, in my

315
00:17:57,317 --> 00:18:01,942
opinion, doesn't end the
conversation because there's

316
00:18:01,977 --> 00:18:04,773
still the question of what's
going on at the college level.

317
00:18:04,807 --> 00:18:08,915
There darn well ought to be
flexibility from the ncaa, but

318
00:18:08,949 --> 00:18:13,092
those two words don't seem to
go together.

319
00:18:13,126 --> 00:18:15,335
Ncaa and flexibility.

320
00:18:15,370 --> 00:18:19,443
For Darius bazley, him coming
to that school does wonders

321
00:18:19,477 --> 00:18:22,894
for that school for what they
will be like and ticket sales

322
00:18:22,929 --> 00:18:27,140
and Jersey sales and TV rights deals, and

323
00:18:27,175 --> 00:18:28,141
what's going to happen with the

324
00:18:28,176 --> 00:18:29,763
acc network. And now, we can

325
00:18:29,798 --> 00:18:31,869
do more features on Darius and
tell his story.

326
00:18:31,903 --> 00:18:34,803
Mind you, every time these young men hit

327
00:18:34,837 --> 00:18:36,184
the court, they face the

328
00:18:36,218 --> 00:18:38,634
possibility of a career ending
injury. So, I appreciate

329
00:18:38,669 --> 00:18:42,845
the fear of delayed entry
because it may mean no entry.

330
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,916
If something happened to dariusand he

331
00:18:44,951 --> 00:18:46,849
really couldn't play, or it
turned out he wasn't as good

332
00:18:46,884 --> 00:18:50,991
as everybody thought, uh, the
school could pull the offer

333
00:18:51,026 --> 00:18:54,133
in a heartbeat. And I don't
think anybody

334
00:18:54,167 --> 00:18:55,410
would lose any sleep over it.

335
00:18:55,444 --> 00:18:57,412
It happens. It doesn't happen
all the time,

336
00:18:57,446 --> 00:18:59,414
but it happens. And we've seen

504
00:29:07,262 --> 00:29:11,508
Both legs equally. 4... 3...

505
00:29:11,542 --> 00:29:15,098
[♪Music]

506
00:29:15,132 --> 00:29:18,170
Good. Let's do it then.
Let's do it then. Pp..[Grunt]

507
00:29:18,204 --> 00:29:23,485
Yeah. Fair enough, get that
thing down. Okay.

508
00:29:25,902 --> 00:29:29,422
It's like, that's where
theinternship came in clutch for me

509
00:29:29,457 --> 00:29:33,012
because now it's just like I'm
building habits off the court,

510
00:29:33,047 --> 00:29:36,464
like, that I know that aren't
an everyday thing.

511
00:29:44,575 --> 00:29:46,819
When you think of new balance,
what comes to mind?

512
00:29:46,854 --> 00:29:48,648
What fabric do you prefer to train in?

513
00:29:48,683 --> 00:29:51,099
Cuz I don't mind working on a
cotton team,

514
00:29:51,134 --> 00:29:53,308
some people will
find that like, annoying.

515
00:29:53,343 --> 00:29:55,448
What matters to you more for a
workout, comfort or style?

516
00:29:55,483 --> 00:29:57,865
Where do you keep up with the
latest fashion trends?

517
00:29:57,899 --> 00:29:59,521
I think that's like really important.

518
00:29:59,556 --> 00:30:02,421
I think all the lifestyle
b-ball questions,

519
00:30:02,455 --> 00:30:03,456
those are really good here.

520
00:30:03,491 --> 00:30:05,424
[Jay w.] So what teaches you how to
network.

521
00:30:05,458 --> 00:30:07,495
Yes, I am Darius bazley, but also

522
00:30:07,529 --> 00:30:10,636
I am a guy that wants to
understand business.

523
00:30:11,775 --> 00:30:14,122
He's getting the opportunity
tolearn the business.

524
00:30:14,157 --> 00:30:16,193
Understanding what goes into

525
00:30:16,228 --> 00:30:18,126
making the shoe from a technology

526
00:30:18,161 --> 00:30:23,614
standpoint, fabric standpoint,
from the way they

527
00:30:23,649 --> 00:30:27,860
mold the foot. Why it's
important from a

528
00:30:27,895 --> 00:30:31,450
marketing standpoint, from a
rollout standpoint,

529
00:30:31,484 --> 00:30:33,728
from a demographic standpoint,
from a price

530
00:30:33,762 --> 00:30:35,868
standpoint? People don't even
understand that.

531
00:30:35,903 --> 00:30:38,215
It's a lot that goes into the business of

532
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:41,425
making a shoe. He
understands that.

533
00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:44,635
[♪Music]

534
00:30:44,670 --> 00:30:46,430
[Man] Excited to talk to you
guys today. And

535
00:30:46,465 --> 00:30:48,605
lucky enough, igot to
bring my guy Darius here.

536
00:30:48,639 --> 00:30:50,641
He's going to talk to you guysand
ask you guys some questions.

537
00:30:50,676 --> 00:30:53,782
Did y'all know new balance got
stuff like this coming out?

538
00:30:53,817 --> 00:30:59,340
Do you guys like stuff like
this? Like this cammo vibe?

539
00:30:59,374 --> 00:31:02,136
Y'all like the zipper, like
the, like the pocket on this?

540
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:05,173
Remove the zipper and
keep thatlogo on the side.

541
00:31:05,208 --> 00:31:07,210
Get rid of this little
patch right here? Yeah

542
00:31:07,244 --> 00:31:10,869
this is more like workout,
thisis more lifestyle. Yeah!

543
00:31:10,903 --> 00:31:13,423
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Before
he shows

544
00:31:13,457 --> 00:31:15,770
you this, there's some
shoes inhere that's better than

545
00:31:15,804 --> 00:31:17,772
any shoe that's on ya'll feet.
[Laughing]

546
00:31:17,806 --> 00:31:22,742
[Kids] That's not your size.
That one...

547
00:31:22,777 --> 00:31:24,434
[Darius] You're going crazy, right?

548
00:31:24,468 --> 00:31:26,850
You like loud course shoes?

549
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:28,921
So for basketball shoes, you rather loud

550
00:31:28,956 --> 00:31:30,923
than like black, gray or whatever.

551
00:31:30,958 --> 00:31:33,339
You stand out anywhere bro.
[Darius] Alright, cool.

552
00:31:33,374 --> 00:31:36,964
Well, all this is ya'lls, but
y'all got to win it.

553
00:31:36,998 --> 00:31:40,519
So we going to play knockout
for all this.

554
00:32:01,505 --> 00:32:04,405
[Michele] I have zero
influenceover the ncaa.

555
00:32:04,439 --> 00:32:05,958
I spent a little time wondering

556
00:32:05,993 --> 00:32:08,443
about what I can make them do
because I know

557
00:32:08,478 --> 00:32:09,513
the answer is nothing. But

558
00:32:09,548 --> 00:32:12,447
to the extent we all share,
and I think we do,

559
00:32:12,482 --> 00:32:17,418
the league, the union players
and the ncaa in improving

560
00:32:17,452 --> 00:32:20,662
the game of basketball. They
need to confront

561
00:32:20,697 --> 00:32:22,595
the issue of compensation for
these players.

562
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:27,807
These players are worth a ton
of money, a ton of money.

563
00:32:27,842 --> 00:32:30,396
When I was commissioner,
I saidto the ncaa,

564
00:32:30,431 --> 00:32:32,260
you're worried about kids leaving school

565
00:32:32,295 --> 00:32:36,264
I got a great idea. How
about if the NBA ensures

566
00:32:36,299 --> 00:32:40,441
the top number of
prospects, sothat they're

567
00:32:40,475 --> 00:32:43,858
not afraid they'll be injured,
and if they get drafted,

568
00:32:43,892 --> 00:32:45,653
they'll pay us back. If they
don't get drafted,

569
00:32:45,687 --> 00:32:47,793
they won't pay us back. And thencaa

570
00:32:47,827 --> 00:32:51,659
came back and said, oh,
thatonly works if you do it for all

571
00:32:51,693 --> 00:32:55,387
sports. And we said, okay.
[Laugh]

572
00:32:55,421 --> 00:32:57,872
These guys are starting this at15, they

573
00:32:57,906 --> 00:32:59,115
don't see a payout until 19?

574
00:32:59,149 --> 00:33:02,428
Like, and everyone else is
getting paid off their back?

575
00:33:02,463 --> 00:33:06,432
So, that's the, that's the, that's the

576
00:33:06,467 --> 00:33:08,296
missing link. When
does this get

577
00:33:08,331 --> 00:33:12,093
turned into, when can
theymonetize their reach, basically?

578
00:33:12,128 --> 00:33:16,442
If Darius bazley had gone to
Syracuse, he would have

579
00:33:16,477 --> 00:33:21,413
been an unpaid billboard for
Nike. Instead, he took the

580
00:33:21,447 --> 00:33:23,001
deal with new balance and he

581
00:33:23,035 --> 00:33:25,451
was a paid billboard for new balance.

582
00:33:29,455 --> 00:33:32,872
It's finally here, I'm sending
out my seeding kit.

583
00:33:32,907 --> 00:33:37,429
As you see I got this dope
bookbag. These notepads, parking

584
00:33:37,463 --> 00:33:40,259
pass, portable charger. These
shoes here.

585
00:33:40,294 --> 00:33:42,434
Actually, these are going to
...quavo.

586
00:33:42,468 --> 00:33:47,818
I got the new balance shoes
theintern. Uh, yeah. [Laughing]

587
00:33:47,853 --> 00:33:50,476
Just as a thank you for

588
00:33:50,511 --> 00:33:54,860
following my journey and you
know, as hopes

589
00:33:54,894 --> 00:33:58,346
that they keep following my journey.

590
00:34:54,713 --> 00:34:57,647
Today's my last day. I thoughtl'd
read my seeding kid letter.

591
00:34:57,681 --> 00:35:03,204
I think it, um, really just wraps up, um,

592
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:08,658
reflects my time here at
new balance. I'm coming

593
00:35:08,692 --> 00:35:12,075
to the end of my internship at
new balance. In just

594
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:15,596
three months, I've learned so
much. When I first started,

595
00:35:15,630 --> 00:35:17,425
I thought that making a shoe was simple,

596
00:35:17,460 --> 00:35:19,910
but I couldn't have been more
wrong. The shoe

597
00:35:19,945 --> 00:35:22,085
has to hit milestones before
going into production.

598
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,157
We have to get prototypes,
style testing, record their

599
00:35:25,192 --> 00:35:27,021
measurements. At times a shoe
can get sent

600
00:35:27,055 --> 00:35:28,781
back to the designers
more thana hundred times.

601
00:35:28,816 --> 00:35:31,439
We have to find the right
materials, look into future

602
00:35:31,474 --> 00:35:33,959
trends and eventually hit our
margin targets.

603
00:35:33,993 --> 00:35:38,826
I hope you enjoy everything. I
have to get back to work, peace.

604
00:35:38,860 --> 00:35:41,656
Sincerely, the intern.

605
00:35:41,691 --> 00:35:44,418
[Patrick] It's funny. The
buildup before

606
00:35:44,452 --> 00:35:45,557
his arrival was so significant.

607
00:35:45,591 --> 00:35:49,216
And then he's here, and then
the novelty wears off

608
00:35:49,250 --> 00:35:50,803
a little bit after a while.
And then he's

609
00:35:50,838 --> 00:35:52,426
somebody who's part of the team,

610
00:35:52,460 --> 00:35:55,498
to him suddenly being gone.
It's sad,

611
00:35:55,532 --> 00:35:57,500
because he's super funny kid,

612
00:35:57,534 --> 00:35:59,674
that's really smart. And he's
brought a lot

613
00:35:59,709 --> 00:36:01,435
to the table and he's
contributed a ton. I,

614
00:36:01,469 --> 00:36:06,440
for one will be really sad
to see him go. But we've

615
00:36:06,474 --> 00:36:07,993
all valued his time here and

616
00:36:08,027 --> 00:36:09,236
hope that it has served him well.

617
00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:14,241
[David] There's no one way
thatworks because there's now a

618
00:36:14,275 --> 00:36:20,868
fourth way. [Chuckle] Don't go
to college, go to college,

619
00:36:20,902 --> 00:36:24,112
go to g league. I guess I'm
gonna, I guess I'm

620
00:36:24,147 --> 00:36:28,979
adding a fifth, go to g
league, go to international play

621
00:36:29,014 --> 00:36:32,017
or get an internship in a shoe deal.

622
00:36:32,051 --> 00:36:34,813
We'll see.

623
00:36:36,884 --> 00:36:39,818
The next two, three months for
Darius will be hell.

624
00:36:39,852 --> 00:36:45,030
A good hell, without the fire.

625
00:36:45,064 --> 00:36:47,757
With sun and ocean.

626
00:36:47,791 --> 00:36:53,418
[♪Music]

627
00:36:53,452 --> 00:36:56,110
We'll do everything. All court
work,

628
00:36:56,144 --> 00:37:01,495
strength and conditioning work.
Preparation in terms of teams

629
00:37:01,529 --> 00:37:04,670
and rosters and different
things like that, work.

630
00:37:04,705 --> 00:37:07,328
Bazley was sort of out of
sight, out of mind

631
00:37:07,363 --> 00:37:09,157
for a lot of people, myself
included. I wasn't,

632
00:37:09,192 --> 00:37:11,884
I wasn't calling new balance
saying, hey, how'd he do

633
00:37:11,919 --> 00:37:14,128
today. You got any footage of
his workout.

634
00:37:14,162 --> 00:37:16,924
So it's like a chess game. I
think 10, 15 years

635
00:37:16,958 --> 00:37:18,753
ago you would have a pawn and
you would have a bishop.

636
00:37:18,788 --> 00:37:22,412
You would have a rook
andeverybody did different things.

637
00:37:22,447 --> 00:37:24,449
I think you still have that to
certain degrees,

638
00:37:24,483 --> 00:37:27,417
but you have more queens on thecourt.

639
00:37:27,452 --> 00:37:30,627
You have more interchangeable
parts on the court.

640
00:37:30,662 --> 00:37:33,320
[Ben] And this is a really,
really intense

641
00:37:33,354 --> 00:37:34,976
time for guys that are entering

642
00:37:35,011 --> 00:37:38,394
the draft. I mean, no mistakes
on social media,

643
00:37:38,428 --> 00:37:42,294
no incidents off the court.
And then on the court,

644
00:37:42,329 --> 00:37:44,986
you just got to bust your ass
and play well.

645
00:37:45,021 --> 00:37:48,196
[Jay w.] So we haven't been
talking about Darius bazley.

646
00:37:48,231 --> 00:37:51,165
Yes, he'sbeen very disruptive in the way

647
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:52,580
he's going about it, but we
haven't talked about

648
00:37:52,615 --> 00:37:54,272
him all year, the same way we
talked about

649
00:37:54,306 --> 00:37:56,343
a ja morant, the same way we
talked about a

650
00:37:56,377 --> 00:37:58,414
rui hachimura,
the same way we talked about

651
00:37:58,448 --> 00:38:00,347
rj Barrett or cam reddish or

652
00:38:00,381 --> 00:38:01,934
Zion Williamson. So now you're
coming out

653
00:38:01,969 --> 00:38:04,903
to the scene. We get a chance
to see you for the first time.

654
00:38:04,937 --> 00:38:07,457
So how are you psychologically
going to be

655
00:38:07,492 --> 00:38:10,253
able to handle
taking criticism from people?

656
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:13,808
[Jay] Agents are trying to do what's best

657
00:38:13,843 --> 00:38:15,672
best to put their clients in the best

658
00:38:15,707 --> 00:38:19,607
positions, but as much as you
try to manipulate it,

659
00:38:19,642 --> 00:38:23,231
this is what I believe, it's
really hard to fool the NBA.

660
00:38:23,266 --> 00:38:26,096
It's really hard to fool them.
Everybody makes mistakes

661
00:38:26,131 --> 00:38:29,514
on players, but they make very few.

662
00:38:35,071 --> 00:38:38,730
Hour long jog, got some chik-fil-a,

663
00:38:38,764 --> 00:38:41,526
about to go hard.

664
00:38:45,115 --> 00:38:48,429
Because I didn't have a chance
to put anything into my body.

665
00:38:48,464 --> 00:38:49,499
Let me see.

666
00:38:49,534 --> 00:38:51,812
Because we were rushed out of
the house. So I

667
00:38:51,846 --> 00:38:53,020
grabbed chik-fil-a for everybody.

668
00:38:53,054 --> 00:38:54,953
Well, at least you were thoughtful.

669
00:38:54,987 --> 00:38:58,128
Very thoughtful. I appreciate
that.

670
00:39:06,551 --> 00:39:10,969
[Darius] Gm's, presidents,
headcoaches, scouts, they all

671
00:39:11,003 --> 00:39:14,144
gathered in one gym to watch mework out.

672
00:39:14,179 --> 00:39:15,283
[Squeaking shoes]

673
00:39:15,318 --> 00:39:18,494
[Barius] I kind of felt
like myshot was a bit flat.

674
00:39:18,528 --> 00:39:20,427
Flat. I'm just like, aw, man,

675
00:39:20,461 --> 00:39:22,670
it's tingling through
mebecause it's just like, this is

676
00:39:22,705 --> 00:39:28,366
big. This day matters just likethe
combine, these days are big.

677
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,850
We know how tall you are, your

678
00:39:29,884 --> 00:39:32,335
vertical, your wingspan, your hand size.

679
00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:36,408
We know all those things. What
we don't know is

680
00:39:36,443 --> 00:39:40,412
how you think on a daily basis. And what

681
00:39:40,447 --> 00:39:43,933
buttons push certain
things andhow it affects you.

682
00:39:43,967 --> 00:39:46,418
We don't know that. That's so
hard to

683
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:47,902
evaluate. So when
people get on these

684
00:39:47,937 --> 00:39:51,423
gms about picking certain...
They don't know that.

685
00:39:51,458 --> 00:39:56,601
For Darius, the biggest thing
that I've always been harping

686
00:39:56,635 --> 00:40:00,432
on him is to understand how to
think to gain.

687
00:40:00,467 --> 00:40:04,402
Build good habits, think to gain.

688
00:40:04,436 --> 00:40:08,889
[♪ Music]

689
00:40:08,923 --> 00:40:10,856
[Darius] Definitely I
learned a lot and didn't

690
00:40:10,891 --> 00:40:12,893
realize I was
learning. Interviewing with

691
00:40:12,927 --> 00:40:14,446
teams, when they ask me about new balance

692
00:40:14,481 --> 00:40:15,861
and I have all this stuff to tell them.

693
00:40:15,896 --> 00:40:18,312
I was talking to Sam presti
today. I was telling him

694
00:40:18,346 --> 00:40:20,452
about the focus group. Those
clothes,

695
00:40:20,487 --> 00:40:22,454
how many of those that they're making.

696
00:40:22,489 --> 00:40:23,455
Some stuff they already have for

697
00:40:23,490 --> 00:40:26,562
fall 2020. Even with shoes, youhave to

698
00:40:26,596 --> 00:40:29,012
make at least two years ahead of time.

699
00:40:29,047 --> 00:40:31,463
You have people who look into
future trends

700
00:40:31,498 --> 00:40:33,327
to make the color ways of this

701
00:40:33,361 --> 00:40:35,467
shoe, to see what'd be hot. Andi went in,

702
00:40:35,502 --> 00:40:38,436
on and on and on and eventuallyl'm like,

703
00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:39,816
all right, he's probably sick of me

704
00:40:39,851 --> 00:40:43,786
talking about this. Let me
close it up.

705
00:40:46,651 --> 00:40:48,618
[Jay] There were 20-some guys
that were invited

706
00:40:48,653 --> 00:40:51,034
into the green room with 30
first round picks,

707
00:40:51,069 --> 00:40:54,313
and bazley wasn't one of those invited.

708
00:41:01,562 --> 00:41:05,463
[Michelle] As far as I know,
he's still anticipated to be

709
00:41:05,497 --> 00:41:07,223
drafted into the NBA.

710
00:41:07,257 --> 00:41:12,366
[David] It's great for the
league, it's not designed for

711
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,542
the faint of heart, though,
because these young men don't

712
00:41:15,576 --> 00:41:17,336
know exactly where they're going.

713
00:41:17,371 --> 00:41:19,442
Their agents think
that they'regoing to help

714
00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:23,446
them get some place or
someplaceelse, and often

715
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:28,589
they're disappointed. So it's
an interesting time.

into the NBA, that's big boy school.

00:42:58,472 --> 00:43:00,681
You're saying, all right, evaluate me.

And if you think
I'm really good, take me.

I think somebody's better than you.

737
00:43:07,032 --> 00:43:09,276
That's what you ask them to do.

738
00:43:09,310 --> 00:43:10,760
You put yourself in that position.

would do well.

I'm proud of you, bro.

Thank you.
Yeah boy!

00:43:53,389 --> 00:43:54,666
Thank you.

749
00:43:54,701 --> 00:43:58,049
[Jay] It did sort of surprise me when he

750
00:43:58,083 --> 00:44:00,085
was taken kind of
middle of the first round.

751
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,675
Uh, that was, that was above
where I had him,

752
00:44:03,710 --> 00:44:06,436
that was above where, uh I

753
00:44:06,471 --> 00:44:07,714
think most people had him slotted.

754
00:44:07,748 --> 00:44:12,511
I'm in the NBA, bro. I'm
in thenba. I got drafted.

755

Let's go, bro. I can't wait to
get to work.

That's all I can think
about isgetting to okc. Like.

757
00:44:19,449 --> 00:44:24,523
I really want to go tomorrow,
just get to work, bro.

758
00:44:24,558 --> 00:44:26,629
I really loved it there. They
seemed

759
00:44:26,664 --> 00:44:29,425
seemed really genuine
like they had a classy

760
00:44:29,459 --> 00:44:31,047
organization, everybody cared.

761
00:44:31,082 --> 00:44:32,670
I just can't wait to get to work,

762
00:44:32,704 --> 00:44:37,709
man. This is crazy, man. This
is crazy. This is wild.

763
00:44:37,744 --> 00:44:38,917
[Man] You're now in the NBA, bro.

764
00:44:38,952 --> 00:44:40,401
I'm in the NBA.

765
00:44:40,436 --> 00:44:42,403
[Man] Now looking back at everything,

766
00:44:42,438 --> 00:44:43,750
what do you have to say?

767
00:44:43,784 --> 00:44:47,512
It was all part of the plan.
Itworked. You know, it worked. I'm

768
00:44:47,546 --> 00:44:51,758
here, that's all I can
ask for. I'm here. I won

769
00:44:51,792 --> 00:44:53,483
tonight. I won. Mr. Presti.

770
00:44:53,518 --> 00:44:56,452
I just want to congratulate
youand tell you

771
00:44:56,486 --> 00:44:58,454
how excited we are
to have you. And the

772
00:44:58,488 --> 00:45:02,838
main thing that I want to make
sure that you understand is,

773
00:45:02,872 --> 00:45:06,565
we're looking at you because
of your maturity and your

774
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,430
understanding that you've
got a lot of work ahead of you.

775
00:45:09,465 --> 00:45:10,431
Right!

776
00:45:10,466 --> 00:45:13,952
And that this is a place where players

777
00:45:13,987 --> 00:45:16,058
get better and they improve, but it's

778
00:45:16,092 --> 00:45:19,199
all going to come down to your
attitude, your work ethic,

779
00:45:19,233 --> 00:45:22,650
and a lot of the things you
learned at that internship,

780
00:45:22,685 --> 00:45:24,756
quite frankly. You know. Real

781
00:45:24,791 --> 00:45:26,758
life experiences, but we're really

782
00:45:26,793 --> 00:45:29,450
excited about having you. You
fit the profile of the

783
00:45:29,485 --> 00:45:31,107
players that we've had success with,

784
00:45:31,142 --> 00:45:33,627
and um, you know, we'll have a
great plan for

785
00:45:33,661 --> 00:45:35,146
you. At the end
of the day, a lot of

786
00:45:35,180 --> 00:45:36,734
it's just going to come
down toyour commitment

787
00:45:36,768 --> 00:45:38,494
and your persistence. And I
have a lot of

788
00:45:38,528 --> 00:45:41,773
confidence that that's going to
work out. Pp..[Barius] Yeah. Well I

789
00:45:41,808 --> 00:45:45,397
just want to say thank you
onmy behalf, of taking this chance

790
00:45:45,432 --> 00:45:48,055
on me. And I'm excited
to come in and get to work.

791
00:45:48,090 --> 00:45:53,026
[Michele] As long as guys have
a choice and they're able to

792
00:45:53,060 --> 00:45:57,133
make that choice unconstrained,
that's fine. Unfortunately,

793
00:45:57,168 --> 00:46:01,793
they don't have the choice
ofcoming straight into the league.

794
00:46:01,828 --> 00:46:07,350
I'm a by-product of a college
education. Let's throw the

795
00:46:07,385 --> 00:46:08,662
education part out the door, because

796
00:46:08,696 --> 00:46:10,008
who really knows if you're
actually getting

797
00:46:10,043 --> 00:46:12,700
education or not. I'm a
by-product of

798
00:46:12,735 --> 00:46:14,737
the network that comes from

799
00:46:14,772 --> 00:46:17,775
the value of an education. But
I think if a kid wants

800
00:46:17,809 --> 00:46:19,466
leave from high school, leave
from high school.

801
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:20,881
If you want to come to college
for one year,

802
00:46:20,916 --> 00:46:23,435
come to collegefor one
year. I don't understand

803
00:46:23,470 --> 00:46:28,061
why there has to be a ceiling
on, hey, you have to do this.

804
00:46:28,095 --> 00:46:33,273
One and done has not been a
problem. What one and done has

805
00:46:33,307 --> 00:46:36,621
been is a convenient
scapegoat. Jordan spieth

806
00:46:36,655 --> 00:46:39,451
was one and done, anybody have
a problem with that?

807
00:46:39,486 --> 00:46:43,421
Anybody think that Jordan
spieth was making a mockery

808
00:46:43,455 --> 00:46:45,768
of education by only
going to college for a year?

809
00:46:45,803 --> 00:46:50,531
I think you have a more
open-minded culture, you have

810
00:46:50,566 --> 00:46:52,948
a more principled head of the player's

811
00:46:52,982 --> 00:46:55,398
association in Michelle Roberts.

812
00:46:55,433 --> 00:46:59,126
The tide is shifting on
whetherguys should get paid,

813
00:46:59,161 --> 00:47:00,610
and it's like, if that's not
going to happen,

814
00:47:00,645 --> 00:47:03,441
well obviously
the other option is let them

815
00:47:03,475 --> 00:47:05,650
go pro and only make guys play in college

816
00:47:05,684 --> 00:47:07,445
that want to play in college.

817
00:47:07,479 --> 00:47:10,137
As long as the status quo remains that

818
00:47:10,172 --> 00:47:11,345
these young men are not being paid,

819
00:47:11,380 --> 00:47:16,419
then the attraction of the
college option,

820
00:47:16,454 --> 00:47:18,042
in my view, isn't going to diminish.

821
00:47:18,076 --> 00:47:23,737
It seems clear that the NBA is
going to go the route

822
00:47:23,771 --> 00:47:26,636
of allowing high school playersto
come into the league again.

823
00:47:26,671 --> 00:47:31,434
I think many people in college
are applauding that,

824
00:47:31,469 --> 00:47:34,437
that's going to take this off
our plate now.

825
00:47:34,472 --> 00:47:39,442
Now that's the NBA's problem,
when college's problems

826
00:47:39,477 --> 00:47:40,788
are going to be exactly the same.

827
00:47:40,823 --> 00:47:42,445
They're not going to change one iota.

828
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:47,450
You wonder, when do the kids,
and I say kids,

829
00:47:47,485 --> 00:47:49,970
the players, profit? And so
maybe

830
00:47:50,005 --> 00:47:55,079
it should have changed in a
strong way a long time ago,

831
00:47:55,113 --> 00:47:58,427
but I'm sure that Adam silver will figure

832
00:47:58,461 --> 00:48:00,015
it out, because he's a smart

833
00:48:00,049 --> 00:48:03,915
guy. And whatever the NBA
doesl'm going to support completely.

834
00:48:03,950 --> 00:48:05,813
Darius is someone, and again he
doesn't know

835
00:48:05,848 --> 00:48:08,092
know this yet, who will addressthe first

836
00:48:08,126 --> 00:48:11,336
rookie class, the next rookieclass,
and help them understand

837
00:48:11,371 --> 00:48:15,444
the options that exist and why
he took the path he took.

838
00:48:15,478 --> 00:48:20,656
He is a trailblazer of sorts.
Again, he's not the first but

839
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:23,417
he's the most recent. And his
story, I'm glad you're

840
00:48:23,452 --> 00:48:26,489
telling it, but I'd like to
hear him tell it as well on

841
00:48:26,524 --> 00:48:28,422
this basketball court to our
next class of

842
00:48:28,457 --> 00:48:30,183
rookies, because it's a story
that should be told.

843
00:48:30,217 --> 00:48:35,119
[Darius] Something to take
awayfrom this, definitely, is bet

844
00:48:35,153 --> 00:48:40,124
on yourself. You know. Take,
take a risk. I think

845
00:48:40,158 --> 00:48:44,438
with me, this whole thing,
I'vealways thought positive.

846
00:48:44,473 --> 00:48:50,513
We did it. We conquered the
mountain.

847
00:48:50,548 --> 00:48:54,000
Be open minded, open to all newthings.

848
00:48:54,034 --> 00:49:00,213
Umm, you know. That's
it, really.

850
00:49:49,676 --> 00:49:53,473
[Yelling] Hello. Hello.
