00:00There are some quotes in here from Jalen Brown.
00:05The quotes are, and I'll read just the setup for it.
00:10In the past, so much of Brown's motivation has come from channeling slights
00:13and internal doubts and turning them into fuel.
00:17But something has changed this season, and he's getting used to it.
00:20It's different to feel respected and seen instead of working for revenge.
00:26Brown says, at times, I think I would make myself small
00:30for other people to feel comfortable.
00:33I feel like leadership is about leading to a common goal.
00:36So the goal, however we get there, you know, if I can play my role,
00:41then I don't mind.
00:42There's nothing wrong with that.
00:44But there's a difference between that and making yourself small
00:48and dimming your light.
00:51Hmm.
00:53He said that his mom said, your light is meant to shine, so let it shine.
00:59And I've made a promise to myself to do that.
01:02I've got in my own head about a million times, about millions of things
01:06for no reason, but I'm not going to do that anymore.
01:09I'm not going to make myself small ever again.
01:12Who is he making himself small for?
01:15It's a team.
01:18For other people to feel comfortable.
01:20What other people needed Jalen Brown to be small for them to be comfortable?
01:24Tatum.
01:27It can be.
01:30It's not Shireman.
01:33Yeah.
01:34It's not Derek White.
01:38So some Giannis trade rumor stuff pops up over the last week,
01:42and then here you go.
01:43You get these quotes from Jalen Brown.
01:45Yeah.
01:48I had made myself small.
01:50I'm never going to do that again.
01:52I'm never going back.
01:53Back to what?
01:54I don't stand on shoes no more is what he's telling you.
01:57Robin.
01:57Right?
01:58Isn't that the assumption?
01:59Does he think he's ever going to be on equal footing with Jason Tatum?
02:03With how he's viewed by fans or how he's viewed by his own team?
02:05I think he is.
02:06He's not.
02:07I think he's affirmed himself that I am equal to him.
02:09Now, the gap between the two, closer than ever before now.
02:12Right?
02:12They're closer than they've ever been in their time together.
02:15But do you think it's even right now?
02:17Because this is the closest it's going to be.
02:19No, I'm with you.
02:19No, it's not.
02:20Tatum's the one.
02:21Tatum's the guy.
