 Luke I want to start with we saw you walking in with a bus one boys shirt. Is there merch? There we had it at the very very tail end of last year. I think shoutouts Cara So I was I was wearing it, but yeah, I mean Sam will wear it sometimes we were to think and I think maybe I don't know Gotta get more. I'm sure the fans would love that it was a limited release and it was exclusive. So I don't know if we You know Yeah, it's like the more limited is the more desirable Supply and demand that's how it works, right? There we go. Yeah decrease the supply all the way down I'll have a conversation with Cara. Do my best. Okay. Yeah, I'll work on that the Dab the spaz dab celebration. How long have you had that one in your pocket? I Thought about it at some point. I think this year last year and I didn't I wasn't actively thinking about it When it happened in the game and it just happened and then I just thought well, there's no going back, right? And so now it's out there. I thought of it before I never thought it really happened I guess I I mean it's been the spaz dab existed or the dab in general for many a year Why I decided then I do not know you you say you're not on tiktok though. So then where do your inspirations come from? Well, this is the thing is that was in my I mean not in tiktok but I was in my social media presence of Like six years ago. So I Maybe I'll someone said this kid like never planking. Yeah, I could plank next if I got fouled or something But then all of my references are like a old dad or it's like you think you're being cool But it's past its time number one I know you're really good at research So I believe in you that you can find some more current references But also planking would be hard to do on a basketball court Yeah, if you got fouled like in one layup and you're there and you just held it while people were trying to come get you I was known to do that back in high school days I was I don't know if I was a much different person then but I was the type of person who would plank if that says anything Which I think it does I find it interesting that there is thought that goes into this But what is it in the moment in the game? Do you have to be feeling to break one of those out? You've got a yeah, you feel the energy because because I actually had a tip-dunk right after and I thought I could do something again But it felt like I would have been there's a weird line of Celebrating and having fun, but then also try not to make it into too big of a deal and I try not to Well, I put some as you I don't know it's you gotta feel it You gotta feel the moment We also play professional basketball by the way point the next night and we played Chicago the other day We will get there I promise I know yeah I know I was just it's just some it's interesting sometimes how Yeah, well, and then my next question was gonna be is that you do play a role on this team And that bringing the energy on the bench Jason Tatum said he thinks that you are the funniest guy on the team I mean, how much do you cherish that and also relish it and see the importance of it? I? Don't know if I cherish it as much as adamantly work every day to try to maintain it There was a void with with Blake gone honestly He was the stiffest competition that I've ever seen by the funniest person and it'd be a history. I Think I also a part of that is being able to be genuine and serious and so that's not just like a Stick yeah, exactly. You don't you don't want that to happen, but you also yeah, it's it's a weird thing. I mean there That's it. I'll put that on my tombstone, maybe Jason Tatum said you're the funniest guy on the team. Yeah, right after hopefully more things that are more I don't I appreciate it. It's kind of fun. I try to have a good time Try to play basketball and do those both simultaneously, which is yeah, you know, you saw that firsthand when I I Don't I don't know what I'm talking about like you said we You're good. This is that's why we have editors and that's why we're doing it so early They got plenty of time Yeah, you're a pro a true pro Speaking of this game tonight playing the Knicks. Are you a big believer in revenge games? This has been the revenge tour actually the Chicago Chicago, New York Seething would be one way to say it. I anyone who knows me knows that I hold large amounts of bitterness towards anybody who's ever Rhymed me And so of course tonight is no different. I have just been staring at I don't know. I said I have to be like some sort of image or something just angry Yeah, of a man who wears pants and there makes pants a Dutch immigrant who makes pants I think is what a knickerbocker is I believe I don't really I'm not sure what it is to be honest. I think it's something about Dutch immigrants though Yeah, I'm just trying to win the game. I was referencing Chris stops for zingas Oh Yeah, he's really well. He's played really well against the next season. We had the opening the opening night game, right? Was this yeah, that was a lot of fun Yeah, no, that's probably a more notable revenge game for Chris that's than it is for me given this history but Yeah, not a lot of people are just like man that cornet But the other way around it's pretty a lot of animosity towards the guy. I think he's I don't know pretty nice guy been great since he's been in Boston and really enjoying the experience. Yeah. No, I agree with that I love the guy, you know, he's just nothing but positive energy Absolutely for you personally how far do you feel like you've come in this season and defining a role for yourself? Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's strange in that I feel like the role has not really changed although the way in which it's Manifested has been like I'm just trying to stay available and stay ready and Kind of provide whatever the team needs on the given night, which I think Sometimes it's more screening and hold stuff. Sometimes more running transitions. Sometimes it's more Protecting the rim. So whatever it is that I can do on that night is what I'm just looking to try to do So and that way I don't feel like the role has changed a lot, but I do feel like Yeah, I've had a lot of opportunities this year to be able to come in and help our guys and I'm very appreciative of that and Look forward to doing it for the rest of the season that way you be my manifested because I feel like your game has developed It's changed and and kind of realizing With what pace to play at where to be and kind of not overthinking things. Yeah, there's a That's actually been something there was a moment earlier this year where one of our assistant coaches kind of brought up of like we know you can impact the game just from like a mental side, but like Just kind of bringing up like the physical side of things and really kind of developing that I feel like that kind of helps make something quick in terms of like embracing that challenge and Honestly, sometimes like what has been your strengths can actually kind of become your weaknesses because you don't allow other things to grow And I do think that has been something this year where I've embraced just kind of the physical aspect of the game a lot more And I mean in the game like tonight as well. I feel against the Knicks. They do a great job of that. So Yeah, you kind of to meet that battle and not be Too much caught up into the other stuff and just kind of physically do what you need to to be able to help the team one That is where I'd like to end this conversation. What are gonna be the keys tonight against the Knicks? Yeah, I mean I feel like Obviously, I feel like controlling the glass against them is where a lot of the battle begins and just the necessary Physicality both defensively and offensively that you have to play with I think just offensively our ability to execute against them and You speak consistent with that throughout the game and I mean obviously if Brunson he brings challenges and Some other guys offensively it yeah, I mean being disciplined and kind of knowing scary poor type stuff and other tendencies is Always important for us Luke best of luck. Thank you for your candor and your humor. We really appreciate it Oh, thank you number one funniest guy on the team as a voted by it hasn't been a consensus Unanimous situation, but I've got one vote apparently. I mean it's a pretty important vote All all votes are the same and the I don't know if that is
