From Viral Dunks to 60M Views: YPK Raye's Content Empire| YPK Raye DSH #974

I saw this bio clip of Shaq, and I think it was Angel Reese.

Do you think the rim should be lowered?

I mean, it's up to them, but I also do think that tendencies do play a part.

Just because the rim is lowered doesn't mean that they're gonna have

tendencies to still want to go up and dunk everyone.

I play like that on a 10-foot rim for a girl who doesn't really go up like they want to dunk at all, anyways.

I don't think lowering the rims to nine feet, nine and a half feet, is gonna make them want to dunk anything.

All right, guys.

YPK Ray is back.

It's been almost two years, man.

Sure.

How you been?

I'm good.

How are you?

Good, man.

You've been liking Vegas since we last talked?

Loving it.

Loving it.

I just moved out here when...

Yeah, literally a month before you came on the first time, I think.

Wow.

Yeah.

You said you didn't start pooping yet, but now you've got a good feel of Vegas, right?

Yes, definitely, for sure.

Yeah, you've been running.

You play every day, huh?

Fast, yeah.

I've been hooping at UNLV.

I've been in school.

So, yeah, that's cool.

It's good runs?

Great.

Okay.

NBA's Cup's coming up, right?

You're playing in the Creator Cup next week.

What are your predictions for that?

Another dub.

It's going to be the third one, I believe.

Yeah, it's going to be the third one.

They did one for the in-season tournament last year, then Summer League now.

Yeah, and you won the previous two?

No, I won the first one and lost the last one.

Ooh.

So I'm on like a revenge tour right now.

Are you a captain?

How does it work, pick and tease?

No, there's just two coaches.

Who is it this year?

Professor and Lethal Shooter.

Oh.

I think are the coaches.

Okay.

Yeah.

They're not playing.

They're coaching.

Nah.

Damn.

Lethal shooters videos are insane right now.

Oh my gosh.

He's popping off.

Yeah, I thought he already blew up, but then he just blew up even more from all of the.

It's insane.

I mean, dude.

Is he the best shooter you've ever seen?

Definitely, for sure.

I feel like he could.

I don't know.

He got asked if he could play in the league, but he said he would score like six points a game or something.

Yeah, I think there's something that keeps him from playing some type of injury or something like that though that's what i that's i think why he doesn't play anymore yeah but

i wouldn't even want to play if i was him why because like he has this like

uh i don't even know what to call it but like the stigma that he doesn't miss yeah but in a real game obviously everybody misses so it's like i feel like if he plays in the game he can't miss that's facts because some people are wet pre-game and then they they just fumble yeah i feel like he'll have a great warm-up but then like once he misses in the game now that just looks crazy on him yeah Like, to uphold this image, he just can't play.

I wouldn't even shoot a ball in the gym with too many people.

Facts.

Yeah.

You saw when Clay Thompson started missing, he started getting a lot of heat.

Yeah, for sure.

He had some bad games.

And

he's on the Mavs now, though.

How do you think the Mavs will do this year?

I'm not a big Mavs fan, but they seem to play decent.

They seem to incorporate him well in the system.

I watched, I think, well, I watched one game of the Mavs.

Who'd they blow?

I don't even remember, to be honest.

They're decent, but I don't know.

They got a lot of pieces.

Kyrie, Luca, a lot of ball.

I like Cuban, but he just sold his equity.

What does that mean?

I like Mark Cuban, but he sold his equity in the Mavericks.

Oh, so he's not an owner no more.

He might have a little piece left, but he made a bag.

Wow.

Yeah, 3 billion or something.

Imagine owning an NBA team.

Exactly, right?

Even partially, anything.

Only anything in there.

Would you consider owning a WNBA team, a little piece of one?

I would own anything.

Yeah?

Somebody give me a good deal on it.

I'll own it for sure.

All right.

Definitely.

Is that a goal of yours one day?

Yeah.

But I feel like I want to find a way to finesse it so that I don't have to buy it.

You know what I'm saying?

I want somebody to just be like, you know what?

In exchange for this service, whatever, we'll give you a percentage of this team or that, whatever.

Yeah.

I mean, you're in that spot now.

How many views are you getting a month right now?

Ooh.

YouTube, probably like 60-something million.

Damn.

Like over,

probably over 50 million on every platform.

Holy crap.

That's insane.

That's a lot of value to like a company though.

Yeah, so I feel like I try to use that to my advantage whenever I'm, you know, inquiring anything.

100%.

No, I do the same thing.

I don't like paying for tickets these days.

Yeah.

I'd rather just say, yo, I'll like shout you out, you know?

For sure.

I went to, what was it, ComplexCon?

Yeah.

A few weeks ago.

And the first day, I probably spent

like $600.

And then I'm just walking around like, oh, my goodness.

And then I seen this guy that I i know he's walking with a big wagon full of stuff i'm like yo how much you like he's like i didn't pay for anything he's like i'm just showing them my instagram and giving me stuff and i'm like what yeah

i probably spent like a hundred dollars bro and i walked out with like two big bags full of stuff that's all i had to do I should have did that.

I was there.

Yeah.

I didn't get shit.

Oh, yeah.

You should have did that for sure.

I'm just working, seeing if, you know, I'll give you a shout out on my Instagram.

And it was just going for it.

You definitely would have got a bunch of stuff.

I'm going to start doing that.

That's actually so smart.

Because if you shout them out, most likely someone's going to check them out and maybe buy something.

You know, something.

I mean, most, most brands, they don't, but the only things that I did have to pay for are stuff that's like one-on-one.

There was a few people that were selling pieces that they really like.

They only have three pieces in the whole store.

So like, you know, pretty.

That makes sense.

The lines there were crazy.

Yeah, insane.

Even to get food was like an hour wait to get food.

Yeah.

I wasn't trying to do that.

That was the first time I've been to complex con yeah me too i didn't even know what it was until um until i went it was pretty bad dudes i think speed pulled up there was some big people

everybody was there i've seen so many people gonna

everybody i seen every yeah it was nuts could you beat speed in a race one-on-one honestly i think so yeah i think so he's fast though he's super fast but i mean there's always faster out there i feel that what's your like would you do 50 meters 100 meters what type of race would it be uh i would do a 50 or 100 okay to be honest i mean preferably a 50.

because 100 even though it's a short distance in track reference that's still kind of long like when you race as a kid you're not racing 100 meters you're probably racing maybe 50 from one street light to the other or something like that or mailbox to mailbox 100 meters is long it's like 12 seconds yeah a full-out sprint so sure it's no joke people underestimate the hunter you could cramp up and shit yeah it's it's a pretty long race yeah damn i'd love to see that though you really thought you could beat him yeah why not he kept up with uh noah lyles yeah i've seen that, but then again, it's like,

and also,

correct me if I'm wrong, I have this stigma about track athletes, I love track athletes, but I do feel like

track athletes aren't the fastest athletes in the world.

And I honestly say that because I feel like track athletes are the fastest athletes that aren't skilled enough to play other sports.

Because realistically speaking, if someone was that as as fast as no allows and was very skilled at basketball, very skilled at football, I feel like they would prefer to do so.

Wow.

You know what I'm saying?

Because I feel like track does take less skill than all the other sports, to be honest.

You have to do is run faster than the next person or jump higher or further.

You know what I'm saying?

But when it comes to like actual sports that involve, you know, a ball in it, it's like you have to run faster, be stronger and do something to put the ball in the basket.

Be coordinated.

You have to be coordinated to do so.

So if you're just super fast, but not coordinated enough to play a sport with the ball, whether it's baseball, this, that, I feel like you just do track.

But most athletes do do track in their past time.

You know, if you play basketball, they're playing track in the spring.

So I do feel like track athletes are, you know, the fastest in the world, but I do feel like there is football players, basketball players that are faster than these people, but just more skilled.

So they ended up playing a different sport.

I could see that.

There's some fast-ass football players.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

But I mean, I can't put that into experiment.

you know what I'm saying?

But I do feel like a Tyreek Hill versus Noel Louis race.

I think that that would be.

That'd be interesting.

No, it makes sense, though, because the money in track's not as good.

Yeah, it's not as good.

It's actually terrible.

If you're not top five or top 10, you're not making a living.

They're just pretty much running for fun.

Yeah.

I love track.

I did track growing up, but I just feel like most track athletes that I know didn't really do much other sports.

Track and wrestlers were always terrible at other sports.

Yeah, for sure.

They're just uncoordinated.

Yeah.

I did track too, and you know, the respect is like you don't get respect.

Yeah, not really.

But I mean, it's understandable.

It's like teachers on, to be honest.

I don't do track, but well, no allows, if you're watching this and speed, this man right here.

I don't want to raise no louds.

I'm not saying I don't want to raise no allows.

But I mean, I probably could.

I mean, if that race was 100% real, I think I'd keep up.

But if Noah Laos was going

20% like you said, then it's not even.

That makes sense.

What was your event when you did did track?

I did 100, four by one, long jump, high jump, triple jump.

I was doing track in college, but

before the season started, that's when COVID had hit.

So you got a scholarship for that?

No, I went to a Juco.

I played D2 Juco, basketball.

Got it.

And then

my second year, I ended up wanting to do track after basketball season, but they cut the season off short.

I could see why you did high jump.

Your bounce is nuts.

You just launched a program, right?

Yes, I did once.

Forget your vertical up.

New heights.

That's dope.

I got to take that, honestly.

Yeah, why not, right?

Okay.

How long did it take you to see results?

I mean,

I wasn't, I was always pretty athletic.

I was just super smart.

I was probably four foot nine as an eighth grader, maybe five foot two as a freshman in high school.

So like, I feel like I was athletic, but I didn't really know.

As an athlete, you only test your, well, at least a basketball player, you only test your vertical in reference to the rim.

So if you can't touch the rim, you don't really think you jump that high or the backboard or anything.

So I'm super short and I can't grab the rim.

But I think I started dunking maybe like 5-5 in 10th grade.

Damn.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

And then just kind of elevated from there.

I was just always in season.

So I was just always constantly working out.

Nuts, dude.

Have you measured your vertical before?

I tested a 46 or 47, if I'm not mistaken, at UNLV recently.

If that was accurate you know uh it's the one where you hit it right yeah the thing where you hit yeah i'd say those are pretty accurate yeah for the most part you can't really like fake that yeah so yeah i i'm reached what at like 11 8 but the space in which you have to do it is kind of weird what do you mean it's like in between a few machines so like if you like fall the wrong way or jump the wrong way you might hit another oh wow so it's like a tight area it's like a tight area i want to like actually be on the court you know warmed up and actually like do it do it oh so were you standing it was a standing touch?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, my standing vert is terrible.

It was like running.

I'd like to take a few steps.

Damn, yeah, dude, 11-8, you could probably touch the top of the hoop.

Uh, what is that?

That might be like towards the top of the box.

Wow, that's nuts, maybe 11-8.

So the hoop must be like 13 then.

Yeah, something like that, like 12 and a half, or something like that.

Wemby could probably get up to the top.

Oh, definitely, easily.

That dude's different.

He could probably stand and grab the ramp.

So he definitely should be able to.

Yeah.

I mean, these players these days are insane.

Yeah.

And I feel like that's what people don't necessarily understand is

the

athletic ability and also the size of these guys because there is guys that have 40-inch verticals or, you know, 47s like I do, but they're 6'5

or 6'6.

You know, so it looks way different when they're jumping that high in reference to the rim and the backboard than when I do it.

True.

Yeah, everyone's more athletic and everyone's chugging up threes now.

Insane.

There's teams shooting 50, 60 threes a game.

Yeah, that's crazy.

I don't know how I feel about it, you know.

The game changes.

You like it, though?

Because you're not a shooter.

Yeah, um, I mean, I don't know.

It's you've had to adapt, right?

You got to develop a shot now.

Yeah, I mean,

I

used to shoot a lot more before, you know, I got super athletic, but now I just kind of try to mix it up.

But I mean,

it's the game changes so much, so drastically, so that like you've got to be able to adapt if you want to make it anywhere, to be honest.

i feel that also different levels are also different as well because everybody's different sizes i think college is dominated by six foot 5'10 guards you know but once you get to the league the league minimum for guards is somewhere around 6'3

6'4 for a guard you know and like the average of an nba player is i think six seven six eight now so like yeah really doesn't if you were six six do you think you would have made the league honestly i could see myself in the league in the right situation you know because it's all situational.

There's a lot of 6'6 guys that just don't make it.

But I feel like if I'm 6'6 and keep all of my abilities, I feel like easily I could in the right situation.

Yeah, because you're getting to the basket with ease.

Yeah, for sure.

Your slashing is nuts.

Your speed, you'd probably be one of the fastest in the league.

Hopefully.

I guess I just dream about it.

Was that a goal of yours growing up, though?

Yeah, it's everybody's goal.

But, I mean, I feel like I gained consciousness pretty early and realized, okay, this might not be practical.

So I want to be a trainer.

I want to do this.

I want to just play college ball and then, you know, maybe go play pro.

The only reason I'm not pro right now overseas is because I do content.

Yeah.

You know, it's probably better money doing content than overseas.

They ain't really paying no money overseas unless you're in like the first league, you know, the leagues that like Luca, those guys kind of Europe.

Maybe China too.

Yeah, those guys make money, but I mean, I mean, if I got the offer to do so, that's guaranteed money, you know?

Yeah.

Like the thing with social media is if you're not getting the views, views, you're not getting the money.

You know, no matter how much following or what you were trending for last year, this year, it's like if you're not getting the views, you're not getting the money.

Facts.

Yeah, you got to maintain deals.

Yeah.

Would you take a million a year to play overseas?

Instantly.

Oh, you would?

Okay.

So you got, you got a level.

Yeah, definitely.

I would take, I would take a million.

What about 500K?

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right, if you're watching this, I would do 500K.

Nothing less, though.

At least I feel like when the money's sitting right there in front of you, you don't know what.

I don't know what I would accept in that situation.

500K, plus you could still do the content on the side, so you would probably make decent money.

But I don't know.

You'd go all in if you got an offer?

Yeah, for sure.

You would stop the content?

Nah.

For 500K, no.

But for a million.

You know, if I had to stop the content and they're like, yo, you can't do no content that you have to just play basketball.

It would have to be a million.

I feel that.

Definitely.

Well, there's probably some teams watching this that can uh hit you up, you know, hit up his agent.

Anyone in the Creator Cup you're worried about?

No, what about Tristan Jazz?

I mean, he's good, but I mean, I don't worry about anybody.

I'd like to see you match up with him, that'd be a good idea.

We've been playing on the same team the past two years, okay.

The team's the same.

Um, it's kind of like a rivalry at this point, but I mean, I would love to play against him.

You know, it would be better.

Damn, you and him lost.

Who was on the other team?

Uh, Marcellus, he's decent, uh, yeah, Marcellus is decent.

Who else?

Did they have Friga?

No.

I don't even remember who they had.

Chris Staples.

Oh, he's like, I mean, they had a good team, but just

hard to see you and T-Jass losing together, bro.

That's 30-game from both of you.

Yeah, for sure.

I don't know.

He just couldn't pull it off.

Maybe you had a weaker bench or something.

I don't even know.

It was probably like seven people on the team.

It wasn't even really about the bench.

It was probably like, yeah, probably like seven on the team.

You got your boy Mecca on it, too?

Yeah.

Yeah, I got Mecca on.

I don't know what the teams are yet.

I think they might do like some type of draft or something.

If I'm not mistaken.

But, I mean, we'll see.

Damn, we'll see.

And you won the Creator League last year, right?

The one-on-one thing?

No,

I didn't play in the Creator League.

Last year, I won

DreamCon.

But that was this year.

That was earlier this year.

Oh, okay.

That was a one-on-one tournament?

No,

that was a five-on-five at DreamCon with the RDC World guys.

That was the last thing I did with Creator League.

Oh, nice.

You picked your own team?

No, they did a draft.

Okay.

What was it?

Duke and your age

were the captains.

I remember watching that now.

Yeah, you were popping off.

Yeah, I think I had 30.

Dude, they couldn't stop you.

Insane.

I mean, it's like creator stuff.

So, like, I mean, and that's why guys like me, T Jazz stand out in things like this, because we're actual basketball players that just happen to do the content creation, you know, and just, you know, we just came up off of that.

You know, I'm like, I actually play basketball.

I should be playing somewhere right now.

But now we're just going up against guys that just might sit at a computer or sit in front of a camera all the time.

So like, it looks easy because it kind of is, you know what I'm saying?

It's not really that, that competitive in most of these settings.

I can see that.

You get any haters on social media?

Yeah, but I mean, for the most part, I kind of got a cult following, but there just sometimes is some outside influences.

Yeah.

I had Hesi God on, and I was asking him about that.

Yeah,

Hezy God has a lot of controversy because of like the way he plays and stuff like that, but it's basketball.

Who cares?

Yeah, really, realistically, it doesn't matter because none of us are in the league.

It's like we're taking critique from people who don't really necessarily matter.

It's like, okay, this guy's criticizing my game sitting behind a screen.

I'm like, realistically, I'm not trying to get scouted by anybody right now.

I'm having fun going to a gym or going to play in the.

I saw you playing in an eight-foot rim league.

Oh, that was fun.

That looks lit that was fun fun that looks super lit so everyone's just slamming it yeah basically for the most part yeah did you win uh no we lost in championship my first game uh my first tournament and then it was another tournament we lost like in the playoffs

damn i don't know how did you have a big

yes we lost with a stack team too both times Well, there's people probably just practicing that all the time.

That type of setup.

You're just going in there for the first time.

It was crazy.

I got to see some highlights from that.

Yeah, that was insane.

You were probably windmilling and stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Crazy highlights from that game.

I saw you at Slam Ball too, right?

Yes.

That's like the funnest thing ever.

You played it?

Yeah, I played it.

That's one thing I also won with Creator League as well.

They did a Slam Ball tournament.

Oh.

What was it like two years ago or last year?

They did a slam ball tournament in Atlanta.

Okay.

I won that.

That was cool.

That shit looks nuts.

Yeah, that's insane.

But that was before I even knew how to play slam ball.

I was kind of just playing how I play regularly on the court.

I didn't really know how to jump or nothing, but like I started going to Sky Zone because they had built one.

They had built the court eventually.

And I started going crazy.

Damn.

I didn't know Skyzone had one.

Yeah.

I got to pull up to that.

Definitely.

That looks fun.

Super fun.

You do any sports betting?

No, I want to get into it.

I'm scared.

I don't like losing money.

So I'll be mad if I put a bet in and lost money.

Yeah.

But I definitely want a sports bet.

I don't even know how to do it.

I want to.

You in in vegas yeah i mean i know what i'm doing you have to go to the thing you can't use the apps right uh certain apps are banned in vegas yeah yeah i heard you gotta like pull up i don't like leaving my house i feel

you're a homebody i don't want to go yeah i'm a homebody i thought you were an extrovert

well i feel like i'm more of an extrovert like just when i'm out places but i don't really like leaving my house that much i'm damn for the most part if i'm not in the gym i'm probably home wow so you're just hooping and yeah i go every day i go work out hoop then go back home yeah I didn't know that about you.

Yeah, just seeing your content.

I thought you were out and about, you know?

Yes.

I mean, sometimes I go and do whatever, but.

You think the, and I think it was Angel Reese.

He was like, do you think the rim should be lowered?

Oh, yeah.

And she said no.

I mean, it's up to them.

What do you think?

It doesn't matter to me.

I mean, it would make it more entertaining if, but I also do think that tendencies do play a part.

So just because the rim is lowered doesn't mean that they're going to have the tendencies to still want to go up and dunk everything.

And I use the eight foot rim

reference as well.

I play like that on a 10-foot rim.

So like it's going to be my game transferred over to a lower rim.

But now it's like for a girl who doesn't really go up like they want to dunk at all anyways.

I don't think lowering the rims to nine feet, nine and a half feet is just going to make them want to dunk everything, to be honest.

I could see that.

Yeah.

I feel like that'll only increase maybe a fast break dunk here and there.

Yeah.

to be honest.

No, that's a good point.

Because if you're just shooting so many layups, you're used to it.

Yeah, you're not going to just really just be like, okay, the rems lower now.

Let me go up and dunk on this girl.

You know what I'm saying?

I don't think that that's really going to be.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, she was saying she didn't want it, but Shock was saying it would get more viewers.

I mean, realistically, I feel like it'll get more viewers initially for the first, however long, but once they realize that there's not more dunking or whatever going on, I feel like the viewership might just drop back down again.

I feel that.

To be honest, I feel like.

Who's your favorite player right now?

Curry.

That's the definitely my favorite player um

right now probably like ja anthony edwards something like that they're fun to watch for sure definitely entertaining yeah and they're saying he's gonna be the next guy yeah i think so he's got the mentality yeah for sure he's definitely got it

just the team though i was uh not upset but when they got rid of uh

Carl Anthony Towns, I thought that was a weird move.

Yeah, I don't, that was random.

They were doing so well.

Yeah, I don't know.

Random.

And they got who'd they get for him?

Randall?

Yeah, they're not doing that good anymore.

I'd rather have Kat over Randall.

Yeah, their record is not so well this year.

Well, the West is stacked, too.

I mean, the East is.

There's only two, three teams in the East.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Cavs and Celtics and Knicks.

Yeah, I was just about to say the Cavs and the Celtics and the Knicks.

Because the Sixers suck this year, and the Bucks are randomly sucking.

Oh, yeah, I watched the

Cavs versus Celtics the other day.

Ooh, that was a good one.

That game was insane.

They said Donovan Mitchell had like eight eight points coming into the half.

I think I turned it on during the third quarter.

He scored probably like 20 points straight.

He popped off.

He's insane.

They were undefeated that game, too, right?

That was the Celtics giving their first loss, I believe.

No, I think the Cavs won that game.

Oh, they won?

Yeah.

This was...

Oh, maybe they played twice.

Did they?

Yeah, because the Celtics.

I think they won that game that I was watching.

It might have been their second game because the Cavs were 15-0.

Yeah, I remember.

Somebody gave him a loss, but I think they won the game that I watched.

oh okay do you do you like watching in person or on tv in person really yeah definitely i like watching the games in person i like being close to i don't really like and that's probably the reason why i don't really go to a lot of games and stuff as well like i i have to be court side i have to feel like i'm there sounds bougie but like i super court side because i'm not even gonna feel like i'm at the game if i'm just watching can't even really see that well yeah i don't want to watch lebron from the top of the thing like i can't even see him i don't like nosebleed seats but i feel you though you know side is.

I want to be like right there so I can feel like I'm there.

Course side are sweet, but courtside for NBA games are like thousands, right?

Yeah, I never, I never sat core side at an NBA game.

Yeah.

But I mean, I sat in like what like the commissioners

seats like that, that one row that's like right above like the clock and stuff like that.

Yeah.

Um, I sat like there.

That's like pretty close.

But I sat core side at a lot of G-League games.

Those were fun.

I wasn't watching basketball and like in person, but just like

TV, I think.

Well, G-League's actually good competition.

Yeah, it was when Ron Holland and Matas were still.

What do you got next?

You've been making some fun videos lately.

Anything for that?

The program was one thing that I was working on for a while.

Dropping a line for basketball, like a hooping line of clothes.

What else?

You just played in Healy's?

Yes, that was fun.

I was honestly just trying to elevate, man.

Just do so much more.

I feel like one thing I messed up with doing is not capitalizing on my

name trending, you know?

And I feel like everybody just kind of gets caught in a moment.

I feel like I got caught in a moment and didn't, you know, take the business route of using my buzz, you know, like

say this is trending right now, maybe make some merch out of it.

Maybe do this, maybe do that.

Because there was a point in time where my dunking videos were super, super trendy.

I'm mad I didn't come out with the program then, you know, because that could have made me some more money than now, you know?

Yeah.

So, but, you know, I'm learning.

Yeah, you live and you learn.

I will say a lot of basketball content creators kind of fell off, but you're still, you're still relevant.

Yeah.

I mean, I feel like it just comes with trending as well.

Oh, okay.

Well, like five on five was hot for a while on YouTube, but now it's like one-on-one, I heard, right?

Yeah, it's decent.

What do they got?

Like the next chapter?

Yeah.

They got a lot of stuff going on.

That's the only really 1v1 league that I even see.

I don't watch it, though, I don't watch the games.

Yeah, I'm not really you don't watch other people's basketball content?

Honestly, I barely even watch my own.

I don't watch my YouTube videos when they come out like that unless I'm like super interested or edited it myself.

Yeah, my uh, my editor, Grady, he puts the videos out and then I'll see it on my For You page or like my explorer page on YouTube.

Like, oh, I forgot I put this video out, and I might watch it, but like, I'm not really too into content creation that much, it doesn't really uh

uh keep me me like entertained for the most part.

I watch like nature stuff on YouTube.

My YouTube is like insane.

Like I watch a bunch of like nature animal documentaries and stuff like that.

And like people, you ever watch those like guys in like India or like stuff that they like build houses?

Yeah, I've seen those.

Yeah, I've been watching stuff like that on YouTube.

Yeah, those are

like TV shows.

I don't watch shows anymore.

Yeah.

No.

I watch the animal stuff though.

Those are lit.

Definitely.

Like you're like the hunting ones.

Yeah.

And then like, yeah, like the hunting, like the catch cleaning cooks and stuff like that we're completely off topic i know i love that i love that stuff though yeah no those are addicting man yeah i go on long i like binge watch every time i'm i'm like eating and stuff like that i just throw stuff like that on i feel that yeah i really only for basketball i watch uh jesser yeah his stuff is really cool i mean he's kind of learned from mr b style yeah like i like i actually like jesser's content i like his content i've watched a few of his videos before yeah he's cool but yeah i don't really watch the like five on fives anymore like i used to watch friga i used to watch mk like t jazz but i kind of got sick of it.

Yeah, for the most part, I mean, it kind of just gets repetitive.

I feel like you just got to keep yourself entertained.

So I feel like that's why a lot of basketball creators have fell off because they aren't necessarily entertaining.

You know, I feel like it doesn't take much to go viral.

Anybody could go viral.

Anybody that I can possibly imagine has told me, you know, because you talk, you know, you talk to people and they're like, yeah, I went viral for this.

I went viral for that.

And I'm like, it's easy to go viral.

Anybody can go viral for anything.

Yeah.

You know, but it's just like to keep that and have have that longevity within the field is kind of difficult.

You got to stay trending and stuff like that.

And I feel like that's what has kept me around is I just try to always look for new ways to stay trending for the most part.

No, I feel that kind of looking for what's next.

You need that personality these days.

That's why Cash Nasty is still doing well.

Yeah.

Because he's actually cool.

Yeah.

Like he's funny.

Have you played him yet?

I played him

last year, two years ago.

I played him one-on-one.

I think that's like one of the only one-on-one games I've ever even played.

played oh yeah he asked me to play um after the 3v3 uh creator league this was like two years ago 2023 i think or 2022 who won that i did you won yeah he didn't back you down i mean tried to

yeah i mean that's his game he just backs you down he's strong but but there's There's basketball strong and then there's like weightlifting, you know, maybe wrestling strong.

I feel like he's that type of strong, but in basketball, if you don't know how to use your body, it's just a little bit different.

Yeah.

So, I mean, he is strong, though, but it's just like not the type of strong that like is dangerous on a basketball court, you know?

And that, and that, that makes sense.

I could see that.

I've seen him back down people, but they're, they don't know how to play ball like you do.

So you probably know like how to get balls.

Yeah, I feel like you just, I can, I feel like I can guard for the most part.

Yeah.

Have you played Julian Newman yet?

Uh, I played against him in the 3v3, but I got hurt.

We played three games.

It was like best out of three.

It was like

the co-ed.

It was me and Jenna Bandy and then him and Stefania.

We ended up losing, but um, I got hurt in the last game.

Damn, what do you think of his game?

He's cool, he's good.

Everybody, I'm not a critic, yeah.

I really honestly don't really analyze people's games that much.

It's just like, okay, like you, you're good, yeah, you know, I don't really think anybody sucks.

It's like everybody has their strength and weaknesses, everybody's game is different, so I don't really analyze people's games like that.

I don't care that much.

I failed off, to be honest.

Uh, what's your stat line predictions for NBA Creator Cup?

Um,

first game i had 22 or 24.

second game i think i had 17 or 19.

i think i could easily go for 30

but there is other people playing in the game too yeah and i feel like i'm just gonna

adapt to whatever role they assign me to you know i feel like that's the reason why i uh yo it was crazy i had a lot of hate for a while after the dream con game when i had 30 yeah they was like oh he didn't pass the ball

he doesn't pass the ball and i'm just like well i feel like they looked to me to be the scorer of that game to win the game but then everybody's like oh it's not that serious

but it's like

it was that serious to everybody they're giving me the ball so why not take up the role to be what they need me to be in this moment to win you know what i'm saying so i feel like um I'll just adapt to whatever, you know, because I played with TJazz and TJ's is also ball dominant.

So we kind of just took turns and kind of just got in where we fit in for the most part.

but i feel uh is there mvp trophy uh yes i think j-dub got it last year t-dash got it the first year i mean this is your yearly i just want another nba collab let's go because uh i got two nba collabs right now one for a block the first year and i think something last year but i just want to get a few highlights so i could just get an nba collab that's really what i'm worried about to be honest you think they'll post it yeah they do they always do from the creator cup they always post those yeah they post a few clips from the creator club hell yeah so all i got to do is dunk it they'll probably just throw it up there let's go To be honest.

Have you ever played against an NBA player?

Against as

a run or anything?

I've played.

Yeah, I've played against NBA players, but I never matched up with an NBA player.

Like, I've been on the same court while they're there, but I've never played, like, matched up with one.

I've matched up with a lot of overseas pros and stuff like that.

That's like...

you know, regular, but

never no NBA guys.

Marcus Cousins been at some Vegas runs and Yeah.

A couple other NBAs.

He played in the critter league.

Oh, he did?

Yeah, he played in.

We did another 2v2 at Final.

No, 3v3 at Final Four.

Okay.

This year in Arizona, he played in that.

Was he still nice?

Yeah, you killed him, Paul Pierce, and Nick Young.

Damn.

They all played in it.

That's nuts.

Yeah, it was cool.

Holy crap.

Yeah, those guys can still hoop.

Oh, and Cam Newton.

Yeah, he was there too.

He played.

Cam Newton.

Yeah.

He could hoop.

Yeah.

He's all right.

I mean, he's huge.

He's like 6'5.

I mean,

and if you play football with that height.

Yeah, he probably played basketball basketball too growing up so he knows what he's doing

i feel like everybody plays basketball that's like a universal sport like i feel like basketball is one of the sports that like even if you don't know how to play you still play that's everybody just always casually plays basketball these days yeah yeah you don't see nobody just picking up a football and playing pick up football randomly you know old people you'll see a 70 year old man at 24 hour fitness or lifetime just shooting yep 100 that's like probably like the only sport that does that yeah where can people find you man ypk ray on everything
