I feel like you are not as big of a social media guy as a lot of the other players

I'm not.

Why is that?

I'm boring. Like, legit boring.

You are not boring. I've been around you for ten minutes and even I know that's bullshit.

If you hang out with me for a day—[turns to a videographer on his team] what, more than anything, have you been capturing of what we do?

[Videographer: Just having fun.]

That's it! We joke around. We drink some wine. And we will sit at this table for ten hours playing dominoes. That's all we do. [If] somebody is like, man, I want to be an NBA player—you don't want to be me because my life isn't that interesting.

[someone sneezes]

I'm trying to do an interview over here! Don't let it happen again. Bless you, though, by the way.

How many hours a week do you think you play dominoes?

I do the same thing every day. Say it's a practice day. Practice at 11:00. Breakfast at what time? 9:15. We leave, go to practice, come back, play dominoes—if I don't take a nap—all the way up to dinner. After dinner, I play dominoes all the way until I go to sleep.

Game day. Shootaround's at 10. Breakfast at what time? 8:15. Leave, go to shootaround. After shootaround, if I'm tired, I take a nap until about 3:00. And then my food's ready at 3:30. So I play dominoes all the way up to 3:30. I eat. I play dominoes all the way until I got Bible study. And then I do Bible study. I go to the game. After the game, come home. Dinner. Dominoes until I go to sleep. I'm. Not. Joking.

So are you better at basketball or dominoes?

Dominoes.

How many people you think there are in the world that are better at dominoes than you?

Zero.

Goddamn. That's quite a proclamation.

I put that much time [in]. You can lose. Michael Jordan lost, but that doesn't mean he wasn't the GOAT.

I do want to go back to the social media thing because on Bill Simmons' podcast, you and he talked about how basketball players are not just basketball players anymore—with social media and having a brand, you've got to be engaged with the audience all the time. I think that's also true with activism in a way it wasn't before, athletes are commenting on sociopolitical issues more than they ever have. I think we've seen that with LeBron's comments and response to Laura Ingraham in the last 24 hours. How much pressure do you feel to engage in that?

No pressure. If something is asked of me, I'll always do it. I always speak my mind. Whether it be something that's going on in the world, something on the basketball court, or just something I saw with somebody else that's not right. But those guys are on a much bigger platform. You see LeBron, his social media outlets, he's on it. Good for him. If somebody asks me about something, I'm speaking the truth on it. I don't think a lot of people ask me about it. But if they were, I would.
