The imperative

Talk to me about just winning that championship in the process.

Especially going through the bubble on everything is excitement of it all.

Yeah, well, the bubble definitely made it a little different on it wasn't necessarily okay, So obviously the whole season was different.

But the championship itself, it still felt like, you know, a team on this journey and the process and the ups and the downs that all felt the same with, Of course, you know, we were dealing with co vid, obviously social unrest and what we were doing in the W NBA was was happening.

But once we got to that final moment of winning, the biggest difference was the no fans.

Yeah, you really start to realize just how much they play a role, like in the emotions of it, all the highs and lows of a game.

But then, when you want, it was no like explosion.

Um, we still celebrated as much as we could, and I always say the best part about winning two things one that night you could never duplicate that night.

It's always the best night, and then the offseason, like I'm a champion for the next, Like, six months.

Was that weird parting with masks on and 6 ft from each other and trying to hit him with the champagne from that far away?

It was that very difficult, you know, we were in a bubble, So the beauty waas I got to hit people with champagne without their masks on clothes.

We'll also was exciting to is you and Meghan getting engaged to write.

So walk me through this whole excitement of this.

And Jeff are, you know, one day, maybe you.

But someday we're hoping it's like the peloton.

It's all in the future for May Jeff, who's weak.

But to talk to me about you and Meghan, obviously, uh, your relationship Just that feeling of getting engaged.

I mean, to be honest, I didn't think being engaged was going to make me feel different.

I felt like for a long time, with Meghan in a good way, like it felt like forever.

We were kind of We talk about things like for in a forever kind of way.

But then I have to admit, when when the moment actually happened and like, I mean, so this is the ring.

So she basically had slipped a ring off her finger and was just like it was only one I have here.

I remember when even seeing that got engaged.

Like there's nothing better than saying that the word fiance You guys like, use the word fiance like a lot.

It's like one of you makes you feel special, doesn't it?

Well, eso Listen, Jeff, you got another question before I kick you off of this thing is before I get cooking with Ross here, and I'm excited to listen to you to cook.

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go one on one.

Just everything you've done over your career really highlighting you and just everything you've done and just obviously been a great friend.

So I really wanna pick your brain a lot of things and let our fans, you know, danger talking your fans.

So we have some fun here, so Jeff will hop back on here and soon, but eso so obviously.

Obviously you you're born in New York State, right?

I'm from Syosset, New York, which is on Long Island.

So did you Were you always a fan of Yukon growing up, or did you always see them play basketball or how?

How that how that come about like yes and no more.

No than Yes, but there was a little Yes, there's actually the story that my intramural team so we'll call it like fifth grade.

He had, like, some connection with the ST John's women's team, and so he took us to a game and we were kind of going to be not kind of.

We were the halftime show, so you know, you might go to a local teams, but and then, like, they let kids run on the court at halftime and mess around, and they happen to be playing UConn that game.

I don't know that I would have even connected it.

But that was one of the first times I saw, like high level basketball, college level basketball being played, and it happened to be UConn, and it definitely stuck in my head.

So then you fast forward, you know, 10 or so years, and it's kind of ironic that that's where I ended up going.

It's kind of crazy when you were when you were young, like I had this distinct image of my sister.

For example, when I looked out my window, I had this window and I look out.

We had little wasting a little colder cycle corner of the end of the road, and there's a basketball hoop.

My my sister was four or five years old and doing reverse layups of my dad and as a fine memory that I have in my in my brain about my dad and my sister's relationship and just how my sister love started loving.

And you know, when can you take me back to when you were young and when you really started falling in love with basketball?

Do you have, like, that image that that moment in time when you were really young, you really to go back and say That was the moment that I started learning the game?

I mean, there's actually I feel like I just had five different moments kind of rushed to my head.

So soccer and basketball my first love's.

But there was always something different about basketball, and it came pretty early.

I mean, my mom there's an ongoing, you know, story and my family like legend.

My mom had toe lie so like the camp down the street to get me in.

But right away I wanted to be in the mix, whether it was locally in the park with the kids in my neighborhood, whether it was that camp and then finally when I joined teams.

But I think the one moment that really sticks out Waas I joined my first AU team which, you know times are definitely changing with how important au is.
