 what's up y'all I'm Tyrese and I call game welcome to call game with Kenny Beachham this is like the first official episode of this thing and I got Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese how you doing today bro how does that feel Sacramento Kings guard it's official man it feels good bro it feels good it's been a long time coming so I'm good what's the schedule like right now because I know the Bulls start training camp tomorrow is it the same for Sacramento yeah every NBA team starts tomorrow so we all all NBA players had to be in their markets by Saturday to do covid test three days in a row so Saturday Sunday and today and we start tomorrow so you in there man that's that's crazy so you like a Midwest boy you know from Wisconsin went to Iowa State so Cali's gonna be a little bit different for you yeah it's a little bit of a culture shock it's a little different but but I rock with it the fashion and stuff is cool you know I just kind of like the vibe out here so it's cool until to that first earthquake hit but I'm good bro that's how I feel with um I've never been to Cali yeah I'm 24 and I do this media stuff it's like been a Cali but when it comes to the fast and stuff the first time I was in New York and I was like mind blown because there's just so much going on we don't have that here in Chicago everybody's just rocking the same jays is this but New York and Cali's is whole different thing when it comes to the fashion no yeah they all wear different stuff too it's like I mess with my girl and mess with all my you know my you know my friends are girls all the time like y'all dressed the same you know I mean because they all she give me the state guy right now but they you know they all wear you you're bound to see a girl in you know jeans and a crop top and some forces or some vans but but out here they were they were different types of jeans with all these holes and patterns and they all got some different shoes on there you're not used to seeing and yeah I like that though I like this different stuff so it's cool to see I see that you a sneak ahead too man you you were hoping in the Concord's I saw that and then just on the gram you had um you had the Travis Scott's the the dunks and like man you went to it yeah yeah that's that's a big thing for me my whole life that's what's been when I got to high school my mom my sneaker taste in price wise started to go up so my mom wasn't really rocket that so she told me I had to start making mom my side I would ref for my dad on the weekends ref like kids tournaments and take that money it was $25 a game it doesn't get taxed so it's basically $20 $25 an hour I'm taking that money I'm going right to eBay right and get kicked so that's just I think I've been to for a while now yeah it was similar for me where like I love sneakers when I was younger but my pops my pops kept me fresh but it was like one pair for the year like I the first sneaker memory I got I had like some question wands and he's like yeah those were tough and I was like seven but then I start making his money on the YouTube and I can't stop bro like I'm getting packages almost daily of me just picking up stuff and I'd be forgetting all the things I got is it's kind of an addiction to keep it a buck with you yeah no yeah no for real though it's it really is like after a while because I remember a while ago I made like oh these are shoes I need now I put shoes on there I'm like man when I get some money I'm gonna get them but I got them all now so I don't know what I'm supposed to do but I don't know I just be fine stuff when I'm bored like I'm into like art on shoes like customs and stuff so like I already have ordered so many shoes to my guys that paint my shoes and I'll have a lot of different heat during the season and stuff because it's just kind of what I'm into we're gonna be on it brother NBA kicks account they they have recognized the heat and it's a lot of fans out there that the sneaker has just like us yeah no I'm really excited to get into that world man I hope people because in college I had some heat in college but you know it ain't like it ain't like they post in pictures of my shoes there's not like a there's not a college kicks on court anything so not many people got to see it except for the people watching I was a basketball so I'm excited for people to see you know the heat I bring on the court so speaking of the Iowa State basketball um it's a story I ain't even told you yet so you know like the old thing if somebody is from where you from no matter what you support them right yeah so I'm 24 years old so I didn't go to school was I on Griffin but he went to the same high school as me right so he went to Iowa State y'all I think y'all were freshmen together he ain't get that much PT but I was like watching games here and there and that's how I found out who you were before you were like on like the NBA radar and then I wasn't getting the games live and I remember the one day I was just like googling box scores and you had that 17 assist game and I'm yeah wow this man really breaking records out here yeah yeah that's right so where you go south yeah yeah yeah yeah we were the first two to commit there so we became close really quick he was my roommate and stuff so we were with each other all the time so it's funny that's funny that you say that but yeah it was kind of a fun experience and I mean I loved Iowa State so Zyne's at he's at UIC now see now yeah yeah he's getting big PT now too which is good for him yeah I see he had the highlight play the other night is dunked down the middle so I'm excited for him me too me too and then y'all had a couple other Chicago kids there too so like Iowa State y'all basketball programs been pretty underrated when you look at like all the players that have come out of there I mean y'all y'all put together NBA players which is dope yeah for sure it's it's not like anywhere where people would think that NBA players come out of but I mean Taylor and Horn Tucker got drafted a year before one NBA champion I think he's the youngest NBA champion ever I think and then you know I'm being a lottery pickin and the guys that have came before us so it's it's cool how it all works but you know what can you say I guess it's just kind of a product of our work and the culture of Iowa State so I was I went back and I looked at like you know those articles that I say like way too early mock draft and I went back to look at the 2021 and you were not on the radar right they did like the whole first round and I see your name so what was the blossom like from maybe going into your sophomore year with no buzz to eventually be in a lottery pick yeah it was pretty cool I guess after after my freshman year I seen some stuff like ESPN comes out with that way too early stuff I remember my homie sent it to me and I was like 51 to the Lakers and I'm like okay like but but in my head I'm like man this is I'm reading the head of me I'm like this is ridiculous be out of your mind but so I went and played USA last summer that kind of just took off for me being with other guys you know Kate Cunningham and Jaylen Green who are probably gonna be one and two next year you know just a just a bunch of guys that are gonna be you know top-ten picks this next year and playing with those guys I started with them I was on the you know the all-star team of that tournament and so I kind of felt like you know I belong here like I can do this so when I got back to school I just had a lot of confidence and kind of just took off from there so I think USA had a lot to do with you know kind of the blossoming of my career I remember during this whole draft process because this is the craziest year for when it comes to drafting I mean we just had the draft like a month ago when it should have been six months ago and there is an article by my guy Casey Johnson he was like the Bulls interview Tyrese and then I said to tell you I was like yes sir yes so so I know that things were all virtual here right when it came to the news and every single year feels like there comes out like a story of an executive or somebody from a team asking something crazy like I remember Phil Jackson asked Larry market and they eat a raw octopus to see if he would do it I don't know if it went that extreme but was it something you ain't got to mention the teammates but what was some of the craziest stuff to win those interviews uh nah I wouldn't say none none crazy nobody ever requested me eat nothing like that I say the craziest thing anybody said in these interviews was you know like usually when you hear people talk about my game the first thing that comes up is basketball IQ right so like he was talking about I'm really smart on the floor know what's going on like hi IQ guy and I had a team show me film right and before they could even and I'm watching this film and and because I got hurt in February and this process has been so long I seen these clips a hundred times so I can tell them everything's gonna happen right so they they start the clip and I'm like oh this is again seen hall I'm gonna split the double go for a layup get hit in my head but I'm gonna miss the layup right I can tell everything's gonna happen before before happens right so I break down all these plays like 10 plays and then the the dude is like yeah so and then he asked me to write down my favorite play so I dropped my favorite plays like what's the name of this play I'm like I don't remember like I ain't I ain't played for I was dating a little bit you know right like I know my favorite place but I don't know the name of it he's like you know like we're just really worried like we don't we don't think that we're just worried that you don't know any of the plays like we're worried about that and I'm like I looked down and I was like like you call my head coach right now I call it for you like he'll tell you right now that I know the office probably better than our whole program like that's not a concern but that was probably one of the crazy things because I had never heard anybody question my cue before right yeah and and I don't know if he was kind of just doing it to maybe get under my skin and just see how I'd react because I did have a workout right after that interview so maybe I didn't know what it was for but I feel like I handled it well I didn't show like any emotion anything I was kind of just like like come on now like let's be real but that was probably the craziest question that I got to the now you better than me I would have been like looking to assist the turnover ratio bro I know the office I was just trying you know just kind of stay as civil as possible like here you know everything's good man so what's the workout like is this like a zoom call and they just have a camera on you so teams were granted to come travel and see us see us work out they could see ten guys so I had like four or five teams come and see me but you could do the combine I think if you did the virtual combo I think teams were able to watch you like through zoom or something like that but I didn't do the combine so it was just a couple teams came and watched me work out and Sacramento man for the past couple years there is a tweet for me that was like whatever NBA team follows me first on Twitter will be my second favorite team and then the Sacramento Kings end up being that team like two to three years ago so the fact that you dance is this is this dope Deira Fox is one of my guys too and then another one of my favorite players in this draft y'all select the two and that's Robert Woodard like that guy that guy's nice and like y'all had one of the best drafts you already got a nice core I'm I'm excited for Kings basketball is basically what I'm saying yeah man me too I'm ready to go I think we got a lot of young guys and there's just a lot of opportunity here so I feel like if if you're not getting what you want or anything it's kind of on you man there's just so much opportunity and I'm ready to get after it I think we're gonna benefit for sure off the you know the playing games you know be this there's more opportunity in the NBA than there's ever been with you know the seven to ten you know playing series so I'm looking forward to it obviously it's gonna be a crazy year crazy things are gonna happen with COVID and you know possible the possibilities of games getting shut down or having to postpone it for a couple of days but it's gonna be fun I guess the having no summer league is a little crazy for you know us younger guys cuz we don't get the opportunity to you know go in a summer league game and just think it up and just be a game ain't that you know what I mean we just kind of got to be ready off the jump so I'm excited for it that sucks for the media too bro last year Vegas was ridiculous like it was this is this fun to be in Vegas and then you get a media pass you just watch basketball out there if you want to or you just walk down a strip to see it this thing is so so weird now but we do have preseason so I know it's just like four games but it's a little it's a little ramp up you mentioned something that I always wanted to ask NBA players at least since it's been incorporated for a year is about the playing game because as fans I love the idea of a playing game because this means more basketball the more excitement but I can see like NBA players being like nah we cool we don't want it like let's say the Kings are a seven right the Kings are seven going into it y'all probably don't want to play it because you could drop out you know so right I guess it depends on what position you in yeah and I'm just like you right now in the sense of I'm a fan like I haven't played NBA game yet or an NBA season to have that answer but I as a fan I do like it right like I think what happened in the bubble to kind of experiment with that I thought it was awesome just brings more competitive basketball gives it to us earlier as fans but they asked me that question in a year or two and was my answer might change you know what if we're what if we're a seven or an eight and like it's screwed or something by my bad match up so I don't have the answer right now but I as a fan I do I do like the idea I feel like this is a quest you probably got a lot since you've been drafted but is there a specific player that you really looking forward to match it up against right now no man I guess you know like any two thousands kid my favorite player going up was bronze so to share the court with him will be you know you know I kind of surreal in the sense of I've looked up to him my whole life so to kind of be on the court it with him at the same time be pretty cool and then kind of just like a childhood thing me and Tyler here grew up playing a you together right so for us to share NBA floor two kids from Wisconsin that it doesn't happen very often so I think that'll be a cool moment I was gonna ask you about that hero because that's the first picture on your Instagram right now if you go all the way back and then they keep coming on the tab lap what other NBA relations do you have right now other than Tyler hero yeah I mean that's I think that's like the only one I've played with Eddie Jones who's NBA legend he's my cousin oh really okay yeah so those seem to be and then obviously you know the Iowa State guys that are you know already in the league but other than that there's not not too many guys that I have you know real relationships with you said Eddie Jones the cousin so it's in the blood just hoping in the blood I guess so I guess so um you were part of the Sacramento Kings they also brought in Hassan white side I saw that the one clip of basically y'all landed together Hassan is like the funniest dude in the world to me now I'm an we gonna come back you gonna come back on the show in the year and I need all the Hassan white side stories all right okay I got you yeah yeah no I didn't so he actually was already here when we landed oh just us rookies food together so we got here we were introduced to him and he's got you know been out chill mode because we just have talked very you know like very little in the in the lobby but as camp starts up I'm sure there's gonna be some funny stuff but when it comes to silent to think the first thing that comes to mind is that video of him running around the locker room and then he locker room and just the one I always think about with Hassan is he used to do these these drive-ins to the Miami he games where he got like his his top down he just like rapping a song and then the lyrics that's on the screen that he typed out they all spelled wrong just all of them it's like yeah he's just he's just having the time of his life in Miami but yeah I'm looking forward to kicking it with him and kind of you know having some fun stories about that guy so we got talked about 2k and gaming because I think the way we kind of got introduced to each other is because I pulled up into one of your streams when you were down with playing 2k how did you meet Dom yeah so it's funny cuz as I came into you know some money through endorsements early I knew one of the first things I wanted was a gaming computer because that's just some that it's fun for me and then Dom had came out that video kind of breaking down you know all the cool mods that you can do with 2k and that kind of got me geek cuz my whole life I've been more into the creating aspect and doing stuff like that than actually playing the game like I have fun playing a game my friends but when I buy myself I just like to create characters and create teams and stuff like that so I was like really intrigued by that so I DM'd him he didn't I don't think he even knew I was he was just giving me back and being a cool dude and then I think he saw the eventually saw the blue check and then realized that I was in a draft this year so we we one night one day he was playing when 2k first came out for a ps4 he was playing I was like yo play pro and we're playing park with me tonight and he was alright bet so we just kind of got a squad together and we just started playing from there but that's how but I had been watching Dom through quarantine you know through his twitch streams with you know the Dragon Ball Z characters and his Sims and stuff so it was pretty cool I don't came again now Dom is one of the most creative guys in the community bro he's always working on a new idea and this is real dope so a question that I think that all of us NBA youtubers have is like how much of a reach do we have as content creators right so of course we make videos for the people like our demographic but I think the end goal for a lot of us is to be in this situation where we're talking to NBA players and stuff right so are there other NBA youtubers that you might be be watching and things like that well yeah growing up you know the biggest guys for me were obviously Chris move yeah a QJB yeah those are my two main guys I mean I'll parking Carter you know Nike Faller those are kind of those are kind of those are OG's message of Matt I still I remember being like 10 11 years old into that stuff that stuff was super tough and there's just there's just a lot of good guys right now that are out I'm trying to think of the do right now who we who makes all like the replays he's kind of like message of Matt but he I think it's like real-life legend I think might be his name but I'll I'll watch him on YouTube as well so I think there's a lot of guys like even me in my homies we quote QJB and smooths videos all the time like they're on my soundboard on my streams right I think that I think that it's kind of getting to the world the time now where us guys that are coming in the league at least me people who watch YouTube we like grew up watching smooth and QJB and kind of just their creativeness through incorporating thought and all that stuff kind of just the OG's of the game so there's definitely a lot of guys that I tuned into they definitely put that map out for for the other dudes for real man because I mean I think we all live in the same life I the reason I got us a YouTube was because of Chris smooth bro and it wasn't even his 2k videos it was because it's called the duty videos they was just nice they was just nice and that was the reason why I bought all the equipment and here we are yeah right obviously you you play 2k we just talked about that but you're in the game now have you got scan because I was looking at your character model and it kind of looks like you but not really bro I got scanned but I would have to redo it or some because I was looking at it like did they use my skin like like because they were like you know come with the come with your cut like the cut that you want right so like you know I always got a part in my hair so I got that I got you know cut right before drove down there cuz I was in Vegas at the time so I just drove the three hours I got got scanned in this you know truck and I was and then I pulled it up and he had no part it really looked at me it didn't really look like me he looked like he had been in the sun a little too long I'm looking at really look like me so but but the 2k studios is not far from sex so once they're open again I gotta get there cuz I because they just did our faces they didn't do our jumpers or none there are layouts or none so I gotta get into that but I really gotta do my face again cuz they trip right now that yeah it doesn't really look like you like I can't kind of see it but it ain't yeah they definitely like messed up your skin they just gave you like a generic face for real but they got you as a 74 going into your rookie season how do you feel about that 74 I can build on it man I set my expectations low and everything so that when it gets a little higher I feel better it's like I thought like a low like a 70 like a 69 they gave you 74 I'm like I'm cool I thought for sure flashy passer and dimer were automatically gonna be on there I don't think either of them are on there no I think they gave you um they gave you need a threader and it was one more oh man it's one more playmaking bats but it's only two of them yeah you know it's okay give it some time you know I feel like I gotta earn stuff like that so I think flashy passers like the main badge I should have because that's all known for it but hey you know what but give it some time and it'll all come together yeah I don't know how much college ball 2k actually watching honestly they oh yeah pride probably not too much but I don't know they were about micro transactions talk that talk man yeah man it just worried about the micro transaction and they got your offensive consistency at 50 which is weird it don't make sense because the jump shot was hot the the cysts and eternal ratio was high I don't know how they could come up with a 50 offensive consistency but I'm not breaking I'm not I haven't broke down my stats enough because it's gonna make me mad see even you just telling me that I'm like they tripping so we'll see but give it some time and it'll all come together you do have the ps5 though yeah I do can you see it right there right there on the cup on the inside the top here right there yeah I'm in a hotel right outside I set it up or not and I just was trying to get in my suitcase five but but yeah I'm on there I'm active I ain't got I ain't got with my 2k squad yet so give some time and I'll be I'll be back streaming right right right so born from Midwest to Cali is a big jump in transition who's there with you or you just so yes no I mean my girl is with me out here she just graduated so she'll be here with me and then my older brother and my younger brother are gonna live with me as well so we'll just be four deep just chilling in the crib my brothers just play games just like me so it's gonna be super chill you say y'all sound kind of like my cousin P when you were talking about the creation thing I mean we were younger so we only had one Xbox or two controllers and we would create ourself and throw us on the whatever the worst team was and he was spending an hour he need the right accessories he needs to make sure that the hair was right need the right tattoos this is like I understand my people do it but I was just like let me get the game and I'm just trying to go right no but I've been like that everything like I'm a big WWE head so like I play all the WWE games and you know it's a creation sweet and WWE games is ridiculous right like the amount of things you can add so I used to be on there all day I used to make myself go on YouTube and Google like how to make so-and-so make him and I do it on 2k2 you know what's funny bro is like back in the day like 2k12 I used to record videos on my phone like I used to go on player DNA and download like Karim Abdul-Jabbar's right and I'd record it on my phone and scroll through and show people how to make them and I I was like 11 years old I'm in the back I'm like this is how you make Karim Abdul-Jabbar like he went to UCLA right handed and like well I swear to God I'm not playing at one point the videos have like five figure views but I used to do some clown stuff on there too so I had to delete it all when I was like when I got to middle school because my brother used to make fun of me but I wish I still had access to those videos that's bro that's crazy because I stopped making YouTube videos and I was younger because people start making fun of me and then I hit high school I was like I don't give a damn like y'all can say what y'all want but that I'm telling you bro we all live in the same thing when it comes to the YouTube stuff bro for real yeah I feel I feel that man everybody just want to everybody want to be you know just make good content and have like I think having a community around you is awesome like I love being in dog streams and meeting the people that be coming pulling up to his streams and when I now when I pull up and I say some BS in the chat like people always acknowledge and say what up so it's cool to kind of have you know your own community and I know you have a crazy following as well so I know I know it's like it's an awesome feeling to have and then we see more athletes do that too I can like the way I found yours was through Dom but like when you go to the recommended section on Twitch I'm just saying like Von Miller you know just randomly playing for it now is just sometimes I feel like the general public forget that the athletes are also people and they just like gaming they just like the same stuff that we do which is which is really cool yeah I know you hear that toxic comment all the time which is like shouldn't you be in the gym yeah like yeah I got a life like I can do other stuff like I can't be the gym 24 hours that ain't gonna help me right like it's cool though because you can meet so many cool people off of it and kind of just interact with you know your community or your fans as much as possible because through social media it's kind of hard like you not trying you can't reply to every comment reply to every DM like it don't work like that but through like twitch you can all there you know your chats on there and you can talk to those guys or you know sometimes on Twitter you can rest with people so it's cool to kind of have a way to kind of be accessible because obviously athletes and celebrities are more accessible than they've ever been in this day and age since you've been the Sacramento have you found like little slip eating spots or just places to hang yeah yeah there was like a like a small business Saturday thing out here where a bunch of like small businesses gather around the I mean the hotel is right next to the arena so I met some cool people there some like small town places that they sell like t-shirts and stuff so I went out and there was like a vintage I'm big in the vintage clothes so there was like a vintage clothes little little stand and boss and stuff there it's kind of cool because it seems like a closer-knit community you know I'm saying it's not like like Sacramento's not large by any means I think it's like 80,000 people so it was pretty cool and then me and my girl found a little play a little cafe called steamers that we've been we've been active there man their French post is elite so we just finding some gems right now so how so you mentioned that Sacramento is like the perfect place for you and when you were sitting that draft night and you were watching and seeing the names and names was there's like a lot of anxiety going into it no not really man I think I think some people were wondering that and I think some people thought I was frustrated that I was at that I was still available at 12 but to be honest with you like I truly don't think there's a better fit for me because I think that me and De'Aaron I go really hand-in-hand with him because I think the knock on me right now is like I'm not like I'm not like a super fast dude but here I'm coming in a plan with probably the fastest player in the NBA you know I'm saying and like I'm pride at this point in my career better off guarded shooters like chasing shooters off pin-downs and stuff like more than garden quicker guards off the bounce and that's probably where I'm better at right now not there's no better guy to be all excited than De'Aaron so it's kind of a perfect fit for me and I'm excited about it I think there were you know some other teams that you know we're good fits but I truly feel like Sacramento on top of being with De'Aaron there's just a lot of opportunity here as a competitor I think that's all you can ask for and if you don't take advantage of that that's your fault so I don't think there was too much anxiety Sacramento basically told me a couple days before that they were you know they wanted me they were talking about trading up for me but fell right in their lap so it worked perfectly man yeah imagine if they did trade up and you would have still been able to be there as well it's like it's kind of crazy it's kind of yeah there's a lot of pieces over there Sacramento that's just fun at the end of the day with De'Aaron being so fast I'm wishing nothing but great health for Bagley you know he been in and out of the lineup for the first couple years of his career but he got that that torch on him I'm just like I said earlier I'm excited for King's basketball because it's so much y'all got going on over there yeah for sure you saw you cooking up for a rebuild right now I've been thinking about this this is something that my manager pitched and I was like I don't even know if an NBA player want to do that we're like we come in and rebuild a team that the person is on but then you got to go to the locker room and just be like De'Aaron we traded you in the video so it's like the idea is cool but I don't think they do it yeah yeah I'd be because I'm gonna be sick if you do it one of my teammates and they trade me I'll be sick when I see him next day like for real that's what we are yeah that would be that would be funny but I feel like you would cause you'll cause some drama in the locker room. I want to drama man I think that's that's pretty much all I got for you bro I appreciate you taking the time because I know I know things are super busy and this like I mentioned earlier this is like the first official time I've been able to get somebody on the show without like the big bleach report a house of highlights so I really appreciate you taking the time yeah for sure bro I appreciate you having having me and we got to get that we gonna start up that 2k my league here soon we get if we get enough people and let have somebody be like a commissioner who stays on top of people like yo you ain't playing we skipping your game like we don't care yeah I mean I think it can be real fun so that's how we gotta get we gotta get we gotta get shaking bro that's one of the main reasons I bought the places he's all of my homies play Xbox so I got I got the new Xbox and PlayStation but I got it specifically to be in one of those leagues because I'm ready for the competition I'm ready for it yeah it's gonna be super fun
