00:00So we know it was special, what made that team special?
00:07Well, Mo please say the best, we all just genuinely love each other and
00:11have the respect for each other.
00:13And going back on that court, bringing back memories and seeing all of us together.
00:19That's something we talked about, we're gonna do something special.
00:22We got an opportunity to do that, so I feel great.
00:25Can you believe it's been 25 years?
00:28Man, you know what, I got a couple braids on my hair, my beard right now.
00:31So that's starting to remind me of the years.
00:34But you know what, actually, I think that every year it gets better.
00:37It gets better, the importance of it.
00:39My kids started to ask me questions more, they have a game at night.
00:43So yeah, I think to be able to share it with them is a special moment for me.
00:47How much are you seeing these guys, and who haven't you seen in a long time?
00:52You know what, I pretty much see most of the guys
00:55throughout the last couple of years, they come in in the summer.
00:58And when we talk, anytime I see those guys,
01:02Mo and I talk all the time, see Mike and see DT and Dre Hood.
01:07All those guys, they've been massive for the most part.
01:11So it's just, we are close, even if we don't talk every day.
01:17And when we come back and do stuff like this, or we come back in the summer, or
01:19come back to the games, it's always special for us.
01:21Would you give Oregon the shooting pointers in the first half there?
01:24Man, they need to give me some shooting pointers right now.
01:26They shooting the blood out of me right now.
01:28What are you doing these days?
01:30You know what, I'm just taking care of my family, doing some business ventures.
01:35And I'm coaching my son's sixth grade basketball team.
01:37There you go, you like that?
01:38That's coaching, yeah, I like it.
01:39You coaching the Ways, or what?
01:41Yep, I took all the pages out of all this book.
01:45Morris, what do you see in this team compared to your team?
01:48This team, you know what, the thing I love is we always stress the importance of
01:54having your identity and what you stand for.
01:57And one thing that we stood for was playing hard defensively,
02:00going chips down, and that's something we stress to them.
02:05It's gonna get tough out there, it's not gonna always go.
02:07Mo and I were talking during the game, we were like,
02:08we didn't play our best all the time.
02:12But we made sure that they didn't play their best all the time.
02:15But we can play defense and do the everything, and
02:17that's something that Coach Izz has instilled in us for years.
02:20And it trickles down, and it's just genuine.
02:22When we come back, we always give the guys pointers, and
02:25we're always letting them know that we got their back on anything.
02:28Coach, just tell me.
02:28Morris, is your team
