on a great first season with the Pistons.

Past simple

[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, thank you.

-How is your off-season going? -It's been good.

-What do you think about this whole deal -- free agency?

But honestly, man -- -With the Nets and Clippers.

-Almost everybody. -Did you know about --

Do people know about this stuff before it hits the news or...?

But I was at the comedy store the other night.

And I was like -- it started happening, like, rolling in.

This is huge." -"I'm on Twitter right now.

But you -- you also love comedy. I love that you love comedy.

What got you into comedy? -I think just, you know,

from an early age watching comedy with my dad,

like, Adam Sandler. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You didn't have to say that. You didn't have to say it!

[ Cheers and applause ] You didn't have to that at all.

Oh, my gosh! What are your favorite characters of mine?

But then you started doing stand-up yourself?

I was going to go to "Just for Laughs" in Montreal.

And he was like, "You know, we should find

something fun for you to do." And he was like,

"Do you want to host the 'Midnight Surprise Show'"?

Thinking I was just going to be like, "And now, so-and-so."

-What did you write about? -Just basketball, you know.

-Do what you know, man. Yeah. -Yeah, exactly.

And now I've written a whole new 15 minutes or so.

-That's fun. -Yeah, we'll see how it goes.

-And so this thing is July 25th, I believe.

"Comedy By Blake." Get tickets to go see this.

I get heckled all the time playing basketball.

-Yeah, just fans. Especially on the road.

There was a guy one time, like, one of my very first games

And this guy named Kurt Thomas was standing next to me.

in the arena, so everybody can hear this guy.

And he goes, "Hey, Blake, the coolest thing

you've ever done is stand next to Kurt Thomas."

-That's pretty good. -Yeah, I mean, at this point,

Has it helped your basketball at all, doing standup?

-Not really the physical part of basketball.

like, after the game, you have to do media.

And you have to sit at a press conference and answer questions.

And I feel like people always think athletes

are really stupid. And it's not that we're stupid.
