He explained how Keegan and Kris have varying personalities and journeys to becoming professional basketball players for the best league in the world.
Other topics discussed include:

- Fishing with the Murray twins
- De’Aaron Fox’s value to the Sacramento Kings

- Spears: “In a month, you’ll forget about this (losing streak), but I’m sure (Sacramento) probably feel some pressure tonight. You can’t lose to Portland at home.”
