 Welcome to Brooklyn. Great to have you. Thanks, mate. Oh just getting used to chairs too tall for me. I'm glad you brought this up because the slide has been swiveling all show long. I've been all over the place. No worries. Thanks for having me, guys. Patty, you know, it was interesting following just the free agency news and seeing the contending teams that were serious suitors for you. You know, we heard about the Lakers. We heard about the Warriors and obviously the Nets. I'm sure there were others as well. But what made Brooklyn the right fit for you? Well, look, it was such an extraordinary circumstance because it was in the heat of the Olympics. And where my head was in the trenches of trying to win Australia, our first Olympic medal in basketball, to know that free agency was coming to a clash made it that much more, I guess, tough to make a decision. But look, there was a number of reasons why I'm here. But I think first of all, it was the conversation that I had with Kevin purely about basketball that put me in a mindset of purpose for a championship and being a piece of the puzzle to try and bring a championship to Brooklyn. So that and a mix of many other things, you know, and day one here today, very, very excited. Patty, I know everyone is excited about this NBA season, the Brooklyn Nets season, but you mentioned that, Kevin and the Olympics. And I think for all of us, looking at some of the photos, the videos of you two together, but what you were able to do for Australia winning the first medal, that experience as a whole. Can you put that into context for all you have accomplished throughout the course of your basketball career? Can you take us back to that moment and put into context what that was like for you? Yeah, it's been about a month and a half since we were up on the podium and I'm still trying to piece together exactly, you know, what we were able to accomplish and I guess the impact that it's had on our whole country as well. So very exciting times. You know, it's one of those things that when you step onto the podium and you understand you've got the country on your back, it's just full of emotions and tears, you know, rolling down the face. But something that's obviously you take a lot of pride and passion in representing your country when you get that opportunity. But I think for me personally, just to be able to go out there and be free and play to the ability of what I know I'm capable of and especially to have the practice games against, you know, USA and Kevin and then to play against him. I think, you know, there was a bit of, you know, respect there that I think I earned from my new teammate. So it was good to have a little interaction there afterwards with our medals on. Very cool, very cool moment. Patty, when you've been an NBA champion and you've been an Olympic gold medalist and you've competed in both international and NBA competition at the highest level as often as you have with the Spurs and with Australia. What does that do for you in just kind of shaping the poise you have in big moments? I mean, and how important is that going to be for your experience here with this team trying to chase a championship? Yeah, well, I think one thing is to always have the ability to want to learn and want to grow and find different ways to be able to help you get better. So that's one. And, you know, obviously being on the Australian team, I can kind of piece all of that together and being poise and comfortable in those clutch moments, I guess. But I think being able to play for Australia and be that role and play that role, you know, gives myself a lot of comfortability and confidence to be able to bring here. But, you know, now being here and, you know, being an important part of this piece of the puzzle for a championship is what gets me very excited. I think it's the purpose, right, being, you know, having all that experience in the past of NBA championships and playing for Australia. I think that the purpose is what makes me tick and being here and knowing that a championship is what we're after here, you know, really gets me going. There has been such an ease as there should be from all the players we've sat down with talking about championship aspirations and using that as the focus and as the goal. Many players last year talked about unfinished business. When you look at this roster and the depth that is provided by it, how do you, what's your perspective on just the areas that you need to really look at now at this early part of the preseason as you get set for training camp that becomes so important for a group like this with new pieces to come together? Yeah, well, it starts in the locker room and it starts off the court. And I think for everyone that has come from different places and sacrificed a lot to be able to be here. I think being able to come together and camaraderie and the gel that happens in the locker room and off the court can translate to the success on the court. I'm looking forward to that and being able to be, you know, a little bit of that piece of trying to, you know, continue to bring the team together of different players and be a part of that as well. I think going on to the court and then letting the natural ability of high caliber, you know, basketball players that we have here. And look, I think that's the first thing that I think, you know, I'm excited about has just been a good teammate for everyone out here and get everyone excited for this journey that we're all embarking on together. But now to be, you know, the new guy on the block and find my way, I think I'm really looking forward to that as well. You've been coached by Greg Popovich for a very long time. You come here to Steve Nash. I'm sure there's a lot of pearls of wisdom that you're going to take with you for always from Greg Popovich. But what are some of the things that stand out most to you, Patty, when you think about your NBA experience that are at the top of the list of things you learned from Pop that you know you're going to carry with you here in Brooklyn? There's a life out there that's much bigger than basketball. And yes, when you come to work and you roll the ball out, you know, it's very competitive and there are a lot of things there that you have to learn from and you want to get better and all of that. But I think for the first one it would be that there's a life out there that's bigger than basketball and having that perspective and worldly knowledge in that sense. You know, there wasn't one day that went by that, you know, we didn't learn one fact about the world and what was going on in the world. And I think that's very important because when you come to work and you come to play, you give it your all, you empty the tank and then when you leave, you know, you can appreciate what's good about the world and refuel the tank for when you come back again. So I think that's a very important point that I've learned is to keep your horizons open and understand that, you know, we're only a small factor of what's going on out there. Yes, beautiful. And that is a truth, Patty. And part of a big reason probably why Sean sat down here and he called you a culture driver in getting out there. When you think about coming to Brooklyn and not just with the Brooklyn Nets, but the borough of Brooklyn in the city of New York having spent so much of your career in San Antonio. What are you looking forward to most? What's excited you most and how much have you ventured out in the area to this point? Oh, yeah, I've been here for a week and every day we've been out and about and getting to, you know, be amongst the city of Brooklyn and meeting people and, you know, just, I guess, appreciating and coming to understand what it means to represent Brooklyn, I guess. And I think for me being a culture guy, I get a lot of good and a lot of inspiration drawn from things like that. So just, you know, talking to local people, you know, listening to the old man on the corner in a quiet little neighborhood talking about music, you know, the food, the arts, even the building. You know, I'm looking forward to really understanding more about Brooklyn and the people here. We've got a dog too, so there's a lot of dogs that I know he might get along well with. What kind of dog? He's a golden doodle and he's an island dog too, so I think he's going to stand out with all the city dogs that are prancing around a bit. But yeah, look, I'm really getting forward to really immersing myself in the culture of Brooklyn to have a greater understanding of what it means to be able to put this jersey on and represent the city. Well, when you need restaurants, Patty, I'm just going to say I'm your guy. Sarah can attest to it. When you need restaurants in this city, I'm your guy. All right. Your restaurants. Coffee, maybe. Coffee spots. Yeah, you could do that, right? I could do that. You could come with some coffee spots for Patty. Escho. Escho. I'll come up with some other good spots. Patty, it's great to have you here. Congratulations on the deal with Brooklyn. Safe travels to San Diego. We look forward to watching you. Yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
