 All right, there he is in the corner that he found. George Ying, eight year NBA vet from Cleveland. He is here and we are going to start the show, George. First of all, thank you for the early time, nicknames. Minivan, well, so that's a Donovan Mitchell creation. Why? What is that? No, I mean, so when I was fighting my way to make it in this league, as we all know, I wasn't in the rotation. I had an opportunity to get in at the end of the game and I had like a wide open dunk and I went up there and kind of like laid it in. You know, I got to the locker room and I think it was like Joe Engels, Donovan Mitchell. We're like, well, what the heck was that? And I was like, listen, I know you guys are like Ferrari engines. Wow. I'm like a minivan. I need a couple of laps around the block. I get the top speed and they're making T-shirts with my head out the window of a minivan. I hate to say it, Jordan. I mean, it fits. Do you like it? It's fitting, it's fitting. Has it turned into any sort of money-making opportunity? I mean, there are a lot of minivan companies, I guess, right? All right, let me tell you this. You put anything on a sweatshirt or a T-shirt and sell it, you can make some money these days. It's a great point. A minivan company would love to get an NBA player at the doorstep. We got to get you a minivan. We could cook something up right now. We got to get you a minivan, brother. Okay, I love the idea of nicknames. Lemonpepper Lou, which forever will follow you. Icy Hot down there on the end. These are just, I think they're fun. Is there a best nickname and a worst nickname that you can remember? I definitely have the worst, I for sure. Fine. I don't care for mine either. Nah, I don't care, mine isn't great at all. Really, you guys, nobody likes their nicknames? Nah. I've had a couple that were decent. Okay, give me the ones you do like. The Icy Hot one, no, I definitely hated that one. Okay, we hate Icy Hot. We're not gonna call you that ever again. Which one do you like? When I was at the Lakers, Deadshot was one. I mean, Green Ranger, everybody goes about like your Instagram tag, you know. We talked about Kelly Ubrea earlier. He had the tsunami poppy situation. So most people go by the Instagram tag, which aren't, which isn't bad. Villain, obviously Dylan Brooks. That one's good, self-pointed. You hate Lemonpepper Lou? Yeah. It doesn't represent a great thing. Yeah, you know, it represents a time in the bubble where things didn't go well. I think it's legendary, quite frankly. It's legendary. All right, well, who was somebody who has a nickname out there? It could be an old one too, that really stands out. I like the Slim Reaper for Kevin Durant. I thought that was, I really liked Slim Reaper. Yeah, Reaper's good. Yeah, very fitting. There's one that comes to mind, the best one I like, but people don't know about it. I used to call this, Dylan, right? I used to call him Frozone. Frozone? All right, I like that. If you see him and look at him and how he used to play. That's hilarious. He kind of, like I skate on the court. Like he always strides. I like that actually. He had strides on the court. We're shams, because I feel like we need a good one for shams too. Although the internet has given him some shams. Gee, to follow up on easy, you guys went three and one. You guys went three and one in group play. You guys didn't advance in the end season tournament, but I'm sure you wanted that 500K. So how disappointing was that? And how bad did you guys want that money? I mean, yeah, it was frustrating when you saw how we were playing the last game against Atlanta, trying to get to beat the points spread. It makes you, you know, wish you could go back into games one or two when you had its team down 20 in the coach, subs in, you know, and you give up a lead. Don't get in any trouble, George. I mean, it's just a whole different, yeah, yeah. I mean, no, I mean, I'm just being completely honest. I mean. That's like a truffle. You're just, you're trying to get to the point where you could play in Vegas for a lot of money. And the point differential thing kind of makes it hard to adjust, right? You're so used to, you know, preserving your superstars and, you know, not trying to, you know, overwork them. But at the end of the day, you need to get to a certain point amount, especially if you've lost games early in group play. So if there's one thing you could change about the tournament, sorry, Showns to cut you off. What would you change, George? I mean, I think through group play and everything like that, it's actually been pretty smooth. There wouldn't really be anything that I would change it. Maybe, you know, give six teams in each, so we can get it to you for this money. But other than that, I thought it was pretty smooth. I think they did a great job, especially for just, I don't want to say coming out of nowhere because we've heard about it for a couple of years now. But I thought it was pretty, you know, well run. Some of the courts were pretty hilarious. I thought it was a good job. It's a good way to describe it. Yeah, G, in that Hawks game, the Hawks pulled their starters down 20. You guys left your guys in trying to get that point differential. Was that awkward for you? Were you guys uncomfortable? Heck no, it wasn't awkward. I thought that if someone's going to give you an opportunity to continue to beat them, you want to take that opportunity, especially, you know, with the point differential. It made you think back, you know, to whether, like I said, whether it was Detroit or whether, you know, you know, we could have had a better ending to the Indiana game where do you not foul and just play it out and only if you're going to lose by four rather than fouling and lose by six. It just adds a whole different dynamic and excitement. And I can't wait to see what this week does, you know, definitely with the games tonight and then in Vegas. The courts thing, I know it's like such a stupid topic, but it is a topic that comes up every time. We can't help it. I know it's well, as the viewer, that's all we see. But as a player, I mean, does it bother you guys at all? Has it been just sort of something to laugh about? The Indiana one, I thought we were playing the Indiana Cookie Monsters, because that was the craziest court I've ever seen. And that was our first look at it. But some of them, I don't even know who's usually when I turn on the TV, I can see who's playing. But some of the courts, I have no idea who's playing actually. Ooh, that one. But I think it was a good switch up. And at least, you know, the fans know that, you know, the game is meaningful when that court is on. And it's an in-season game. And I think the NBA did a really good job. And obviously there's room to grow. But I think this is a great, you know, head start on this. G, you played two scenes in Philly. What was your favorite part about playing for the Sixers? I'm, you know, you can never underestimate being able to, you know, go out there with some of the two best players, you know, to ever play this game when you say, you know, Joelle and James. And then obviously, you know, the type of fan support, what if I was good, bad, or indifferent? You know, they're going to let you hear about it. Danny can attempt to that too. And then, you know, just being surrounded by, you know, a solid group. I mean, you had young talent with Tyrese, D'Anthony. You know, even Paul Reed is, you know, up and coming. You know, so just being surrounded by, you know, those guys playing in Philly was great for me. It jolted my career to a new spot. And now I'm enjoying my time in Cleveland. It's crazy. You didn't mention me. I didn't mention playing with me, George. That's crazy. I thought you were going to say one of the best times I had was playing with Danny. I didn't want to do that because then people are going to be like, this guy's fake. And you know, that's not me. It's not real. We appreciate your genuine answer. So honest. I know Danny can speak to it as well. All of you in the corner, and it was a three. Yeah, man. We had great times together, you know. Dead shot. Yeah. Green range. I'd love to hear both of you guys talk about the Philly fans, though. How do those fans compare to Cleveland fans? Danny was just in Cleveland. How do they compare to Jazz fans? George, how do Sixious fans really compare to those fans? I'll tell you a story. When I first got to Philly, I think it was a pre-season game. And I, like, hump faked and dribbled to the side and dribbled off my foot and it went out of bounds. And there was some dude in the stands that was like, what? Green, green, football. Shoot the ball. And I was like, wow, this just got real. They are one of a kind. They are. There are no fans like them in the world. But you got to love them. And they have gotten better over the years. I will say that. My first stint was rough. But over the years, they have gotten a lot better. And they've become more welcoming to the teams and have chosen different routes instead of booing us at times when they could have booed us. I appreciate the Philly fling. I'm actually glad that I spent my first eight years in Philly because it taught me tough skin. Tough. Yeah, it gave me an opportunity to learn what the NBA is really like. Very tough fan base. But I tell you what, you do your part. You will forever be legendary in Philadelphia. I've actually been in a restaurant after a loss. And they walk over to your table like, what are you doing? Go home. Y'all just got beat, bro. Like, why are you outside? Yeah, like, you shouldn't be human. You should not eat after a loss. That's the type of fan base they are. But if you do your job, man, they will love you forever. So I can attest to the Philly fans. I mean, if you watched the Eagles game yesterday, they're crazy. You and Joel and Bede are close. But when you first got to Philly, he said, I used to think he sucked. How did you win him over? Yeah, what is this, a roast? Fine. Just good information. Yeah. I think if you know Joel, Joel wants to be surrounded by guys that know how to play and can keep their defenders out of his way. So after making a couple of threes, I think I gained his trust. And we had a real good relationship from there. I know. I think Joel puts a lot of pressure on himself to be great. So he expects it out of everybody else on the court. And I don't want to say I was lucky enough because I work at it. If you can make enough shots and keep guys out of his way, he'll trust you. I know Danny can attest to that. I'll even walk up to you. I think after you miss a shot, be like, I need you to make that three. I need you to make that three. Nod, that thing does Joel's take on everybody when they first get there. Really? And then if you make a couple of shots, he will start to like you. And he will put some pressure on you to make some shots. The first thing he'll say to you, you make shots. You stay on the team. No pressure. You also went to his win this summer. And I'm sure it was a beautiful ceremony. It was very classy, very nice. But you got to tell me about the after parties, man. What was the wildest thing you experienced at the after party? Wow, there's some things we'll keep this closed. But for the most part, I mean, at the after party, I remember I was listening to Brian McKnight. And I was recording Joel and his wife. And I'm like, dang. And I zoom in, and I'm like, holy smokes. That's Brian McKnight. Actually, at the wedding, I was like, I'm not. I don't really do a bunch of cool stuff like that. That was probably the coolest part. And then to see all the coaches and people that have impacted Joel's life from Bill's self, Arm Tellem, Leon Rose, all those guys, it's amazing that Joel still keeps those contacts. And they care deeply about it. We know how he is as a competitor. What's he like to party with? I don't think he does it often. But when he does, he does it big. He doesn't like the MVP, that's for sure. Gee, this is the second time you're playing with Donovan Mitchell. How has he improved since those Utah days? And what have you seen in his growth? You know, I think the biggest thing is when Donovan was in Utah, I think he was just so athletic. He'd get anywhere on the floor and do whatever he wanted. I think now he really realizes where his spots are. And has really turned into an elite three-point maker, whether it's contested, wide open, catch and shoot. He's really turned into an elite three-point maker. And I think he knows where he wants to get on the court, where Utah was kind of figuring out where I could get. I think he knows his spots and where he wants to get. And I think he's ultimately grown in the point guard position, whether it's getting his teammates involved early so that late in the game, he can take over. And he does an elite job at that. Was your familiarity with Don the reason why you chose to go to Cleveland? Was it one of the reasons why you chose to go there? Yeah, I mean, for sure. I mean, I think when you leave a place like Philadelphia, you want to go somewhere where you ultimately can feel comfortable and know what you're getting yourself into. And Cleveland definitely offered that up. And then another thing that was exciting for me is they have such a young core group that, you know, obviously I want to win, but they've proven that they can, you know, win and get to the playoffs. And I want to see how long they can drag this thing out and signing a three-year deal, knowing that there's a young core here that, you know, we will have a chance to be good for a long time. George, I want to just apologize ahead of time. I feel like I'm getting the bad questions for you today. But here we go. It's all right. Is it true that DeMarcus' cousins once called you a teletubby? Oh, yeah, you heard about that. Well, I'm getting all these awful questions. You know, I thought you actually liked me, but, you know... I do. I don't know why we got here. We have bad repos, but it's cool. He means it better. It's cool. Shut up, Lou. Yeah, I mean, the trash talk, it's fun, but teletubby? No, I mean, you know, I think Lou and Danny can attest there's some stuff that, you know, that just gets said on the court and he wasn't playing with the Warriors. I was a, it was like my second or third year in the league. Nobody had heard about me. I'm a, you know, well-proportioned. So, it's a great way to put it, George. Well-proportioned. And I was out there and I missed a shot and I think he wanted to, like, you know, rattle my confidence. And so that's what he was saying. Let me tell you this. I was avoiding that corner by the Warriors bench, like the plank, though. I was playing like I was going down that corner. So it worked. Yeah, don't go, has anyone ever said anything, called you anything? And this, for all you guys, that made you actually laugh? Yes, for sure, 100%. Really? There's a lot of things, George was called. Danny, Danny, Danny's a culprit of this, too. And now that we're a teammate, he's a snake. When we were in the bubble, he went up and down the court and the whole Lakers bench would be calling me like Baby Duds, Baby Jared Dudley. He was calling Baby Duds, Baby Jared Dudley. When I was in Philly, we used to call him, but we were teammates, so we didn't ever tell the other team, but we would make fun of him, call him some funny names. I won't put it out there because people might start trolling you on the internet. But we had some funny, some good funny names for George. I liked that. Some from Sesame Street. I mean, that's cute. Oh, no. Some characters from Sesame Street. That is bad. Does it, do you do homework? I mean, to try, in the past, there've been some good moments from certain guys that they did a little homework and they dug extra deep. Do you guys do that when you come up with trash? No, I'm not one of those trash targets. We have a couple guys come through the past that done homework, but we weren't when those had to trash. Yeah, deep. Yeah, no. All right, fair enough. By the way, George, I am sorry. I really had so many nice questions to ask you about your hobbies and things you like to do. And then I just got the roast questions. Yeah, we put her up to it. Forgive us. I'm sure Danny would probably had you do something like that. But next time, next time. Next time. Make sure you get some good ones. We appreciate the time. I want my personality. By the way, good luck the rest of the way. We appreciate the time. Thank you so much. George, before you go, she had one more for you. I mean, the last one, I'm so glad we didn't get to. So, we're out of time. We are out of time. Gilbert Arenas, not this time, buddy. You're not getting us. Thank you so much. Good luck, Brody. Corona back returns. Appreciate you guys.
