00:00Kobe you are averaging 18 points a game before the all-star break now
00:03You're averaging 25 points a game after y'all star break almost at the same time simultaneously
00:09We saw Josh Giddey go from averaging 12 points before the all-star break
00:13He's nearly averaging a triple-double 21 points a game nine point nine rebounds and I'm point one assists per game
00:18What is that chemistry been like with him specifically and how have you guys kind of evolved together here in the back half?
00:25I
00:26Think like I always tell people like, you know, he's a new guy new to the team
00:31I think for the most kind of the first part of the season
00:34He was trying to figure out his way and he didn't he was very quiet
00:37You know, he didn't want to you could tell that he was Timmy
00:40He didn't want to step on a lot of a lot of toes, you know
00:43Coming from Oklahoma City
00:46And stuff like that, but I think like I always tell people that the more me and him
00:51Connected off the court. It kind of helped on the court. Like I said, like I met his mom. I met his family
00:56He's met my brother
00:59so like, you know the more that we've connected off the court the better has been on the court and like
01:04The play that he's been playing with is is phenomenal. I always tell him like for me personally
01:10I think at some point in his career
01:13He could definitely like lead the league and assist and his IQ his ability to pass the ball
01:19I always tell him like there he could get a triple-double every night. So
01:24He just does a lot of different stuff
01:27That impacts the game in terms of not only scoring but like assist
01:31Rebounding all turn shots him being the legit like 6-8 can guard multiple positions on the court
01:37So, you know, he helps our team out a lot in many different ways
01:40And you know, he's playing with a tremendous confidence right now
01:44Like I said, like it's been awesome to see his growth over this year and you got to love those type of stories that
01:48You know a lot of people count you out
01:51And then you prove them wrong. So for me, that's that's that's that's been the best part
