and we now welcome in Boston Celtic, member of the NBA's all defensive first team.

So glad we finally got you in here as I mentioned you were on the training camp roster for Team USA, along with Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown.

This is for the World Cup this September.

How important is playing for Team USA to you?

You know, just being able to be mentioned.

You know, one of those guys that they were looking is Ah, you know, honoring itself, you know, And as a kid, as an athlete, we all dream of being able to go do something like this and play for our country.

So actually, being able to be on his team, I'm ecstatic myself.

You know, my friends and family recited for me, and I'm just ready to get going.

Your Team USA Plastic Cup from 1992 kids somewhere that Teoh have that still in their home step.

I mean, we have seen a lot of star all stars dropping off of the World Cup when it's time to decide the 2020 Olympic roster.

Can I have a feeling some of those big mega stars?

We're going to just come and I will come back now Who do you think should get preference?

Should it be some of the guys who competed this summer?

We're the guys putting their work at the time, you know, way deserve it.

But we're the ones here putting because if you don't qualify, you don't get complained 2020.

So you know, we're putting network, so we should be and have that party for going to 2020.

Beyond that, you know, it's like it used to be that it was always talked about it.

But I also noticed this kind of talking with guys over the years that given how global the game's gotten that, let's be honest.

I mean, it's also a great way for you to introduce yourself to billions of people who might not otherwise, you know, watch a regular season in NBA game.

Players to kind of have multinational platforms like that is huge.

You know, everybody's, you know, they have their own brain and they're trying to, you know, expand it.

And, you know, being able to get your face out there to be showing a scene, especially for guys like who isn't are not at the top tier of, you know, in the league.

You know, that's kind of what this roster is, you know?

You know those players under there they're not bad players, you know, But they might not be as near to some another player that everybody else thinks.

So you know, being able to get our faces out there and get people to see us, you know, it is tremendous force, and this is very helpful.
