00:00We of course left here Friday wondering when the Ace Bailey

00:04stuff would end in Utah. Well, he did arrive over the weekend.

00:08I'm sure you saw the clips of him getting off the plane, giving everybody hugs.

00:12Hugs and kisses for everybody. Ace Bailey, very happy to be with the Utah team.

00:16Very happy. Was there any point that you considered not coming to Utah?

00:20No, not at all. I mean, just

00:24blessed to be in this position I am. Not a lot of people can sit in these chairs and have great teammates

00:28as I got on. They came on with me, so I'm just blessed to be here.

00:32I mean, what more do you have to hear from the kid?

00:36No one believes him. They all think he's a liar. Meanwhile, when he played at Rutgers,

00:40everyone loved him. It's amazing to me how he's like the most beloved player.

00:44Coaches, staff, teammates all love him. And then suddenly overnight, everyone hates

00:48his guts and he's the devil. I just don't believe it. I also told

00:52you on Friday, there is no way in hell that this guy is going to

00:56win this battle. He's not going to not show up and he's going to lose

01:00that Danny Ainge is not losing to

01:02some kid that he drafted

01:04fifth. He's going to win. Danny Ainge

01:06will win every time. It does not matter

01:08what the draft

01:10choice says, what his reps

01:12say, his agents, his handlers,

01:14his PR people, his whole

01:16machination. You know, the

01:18whole group of

01:20them, they knew what was going to happen.

01:22He was playing for the Jazz whether he liked it or not.

01:26He was absolutely going

01:28to do that. Speaking of

01:30first round draft picks, of course,

01:32Yang Hanson, who

01:34I believe they were calling what the Chinese

01:36Joker, the kid that Portland

01:38took in the middle of the first round.

01:40Of course, we're just learning more about

01:42these kids with them coming over

01:44especially the guys that played overseas.

01:46So what does he like to do

01:48in his spare time when there's no basketball?

01:50This is great. Why don't we find out?

01:52Hi, I'm interested in

01:54you as a person. What

01:56are some of your interests and what do you think

01:58you'd be doing if you weren't playing basketball?

02:03Watch this.

02:06Sometimes I

02:08sleep.

02:10All time sleep.

02:12And I

02:14like to play

02:16PS5.

02:20And I like

02:22eat.

02:26I like to sleep,

02:28play PS5 and eat.

02:30That is a fantastic

02:32press conference.

02:34In fact, he sounds like my son.

02:36That's what he does. He sleeps,

02:38smokes,

02:40and plays PS5.

02:42And then goes to movies with me.

02:44I did see F1 the movie.

02:46I have to give you

02:48a massive five stars.

02:50I mean, what in IMAX

02:52it was insanity. How cool that

02:54and not only that Brad Pitt

02:56and F1 smashed

02:58the weekend at the box office

03:00destroying all others in its path.
