This is How I Played in an NBA Game...

This is the story of how I ended up playing in the NBA. My first attempt at getting into the league was trying out for the NBA G League team, the Santa Cruz Warriors. Since I was a little boy, I have dreamed of achieving it. for the NBA there is James in the r and now, at 23 years old, I have been blessed with the opportunity to make it happen. They recruited me for a tryout with the Santa Cruz Warriors and the NBA G League team they had. players like Jordan P Seth Curry on the team and I know what you're thinking Jesse, why would I draft you well?

My basketball resume speaks for itself. High school freshman league champion. James Harden. The 2v2 invitational tournament champion even

played

against the best players on YouTube, he kicked genius and literally. I made them retire at the first Allstars. I got the MVP with a triple double. There were professional players in that

game

. Don't underestimate me. I had to prepare with the best coach in the NBA. I know he trains over 100 NBA players, including LeBron James. Dwayne Wade, all-time great. I go to the gym with my boy Chris Johnson. He will help me for tomorrow's test. Let's do it, let's do it.

We worked on tightening my grips and getting my jump shot right because at the end of the day I'm a place. shooter that's the role I'm going to play on one of these teams what's your biggest advice for me tomorrow coming in to be prepared for cardio how can I be prepared for that because I'm not ready for that you too I think I can be a part of the team, let's say it's a closed training, a G-league NBA team, you will meet guys who have already been drafted, they have the experience, you have no chance, they tried all their lives, yes, later. that I met up with NBA champion Eric Bledo and got some advice from him, have fun with

this

first Tri, yeah have fun with it bro, once in a lifetime expense, oh do your thing, appreciate that, thanks, Hello, mom, tomorrow I have my NBA tryout.

Do you think I can do it, of course you can do it Jesse, you are MVP respectfully, you are the best Hooper in two hyp and I believe in you dead bro, I know you can do it, do you really think you can do it? I could take Curry's place in the starting lineup, yeah, hey, I say you get it before me, that's what I was talking about, there was some confidence, thanks, I thought you were going to say no instantly, like you were trying out for the NBA. Okay man, don't let me down, now that we've made it to the Chase Center,

this

is where the Warriors play their

game

s.

There is actually a practice facility connected to the arena, that's where the testing will take place. Now for the G Tri departures, there is one open. Tri out and a closed Tri out, an open Tri out, literally anyone can come up and then there are the closed Tri outs that I'm doing today, which are invitation only, so we're talking about former college players X MBA players, players Overseas, these are the kind of guys I'm going to face and Chris Johnson yesterday said he wouldn't have a chance of making the team, so today I'm going to prove him wrong.

He arrived at the arena. Your guy has his practice jersey. I feel like I'm on the team, man, I got an NBA jersey, you know what I'm saying? I am the star of the option that enters and I am not going to do it. I'm quite nervous. I don't know what I got myself into. I could have gone over my head with this voice I had to get my curries out, fair enough, today will give me good luck, first part of the tri, they're getting my height, my weight, my wingspan, let's see how I stack up to the Ops.

I was 210 pounds and the person behind me, Ron Arrest Yes, you heard that right, Ron Arrest, son who actually

played

in the Canadian Basketball League. These are my operations. I squared it. I think he felt intimidated. My wingspan was 75 on 6 62 and A2 sounds good, you almost said 63 comparing my build to other NBA players, really the only difference is that I'm heavier and that works in my favor. I'm a big guard, everyone is warming up right now, everyone is quiet, it's very tense here, man, everyone is fighting for the spot, there was definitely a lot of competition there, but I didn't feel intimidated.

I've played against great NBA players like Lamelo Ball, James Harden, Giannis, oh no, and I've held my own, you know what I could be raving about? my skills, but we'll find out if I make the team at the end of the video during warm-ups. I made friends with a hub, my boy Tanner, how's it going? Jesse Jesse, nice to meet you, Tanner, we're going to be good, you have to accept it. easy on me boss, don't kill me, it's okay, I feel like I have a big goal on my head today, but I only know that I'm a YouTuber, they don't know who I am, they only know that I'm a YouTuber, but that's why.

I'm going to prove myself, man, look at this KSI Logan Paul, turned professional boxer, now it's time for me to become an NBA player, if I make this I'll be on the team, uhoh, I know y'all They were invited here for a reason and we. I'm excited to see you guys basically it's the next hour and a half 2 hours of work in three 1 2 3 understand let's do it yes sir let's start the test. We did a group warm-up with everyone. I was trying. Not to be last in any of the exercises, I stuck out like a sore thumb, oh oh, yes, yes.

I'm the Gass family, it was a tough warm up, then we all spread out to different sides of the gym and I made sure I stayed. with the head coach of the team so he could see my skills, a good oh damn, bro, everyone's dunking. I feel like I have to do it. That boy is a jumping man. He was picking me up like this. You like mate. I have one in man. Do you listen? that the head coach knows my name oh oh no, I can't make a shot, it's for you, no, so we went into a 3 on 3, this was a chance to show me, let's do it, let's do it, ah oh, I ended up scoring zero points on that. 3 on 3 I still have a lot to prove in these three on three.

I'm incredibly excited about the second game. I get a shot from above. Breck it. I get the ball back. I pass Euro Step and then my teammate comes in and absolutely sells my clip. I'm going to stop gas lighting. I was crazy, go, come here, set it up. I ended up losing every single 3 on 3. My teammates weren't even on the same page. We couldn't even touch each other. I like the European long kick, that was it. well thanks, I did my best here, the head coach saw me, family, that's all I'm talking about, that Euro Step was fire, hey, that was like a Jordan Pool CL right there.

I showed him that one. I'm playing there. F how do you feel like I'm playing gold? What does that mean? Forget your miss on the next fact after that, it was time for the 5 on 5 where all the scouts, the GMS, everyone was watching, this is the main event, it's about time. To lead my team to victory, I had to try to be a team leader. Hey, can we try to go? Blue, lucky color, blue team, substitute, first team player, the coach is looking for a team player, so I chose to be a substitute. For the team, everyone just left, so I thought it was okay.

I guess my Curry on the bench planning the 5 on 5 started intense instantly. I mean, people are fighting for a place on the team. Oh, he's falling, come on. That's my boy, right? there N I hope I don't have to mark him, he's fast now he's nice, he could be part of this team, who has three to 20? N I hope I don't have to guard him, he's fast, I'm 20, I signed up for the game and to be completely honest this was the highest level of basketball I've ever participated in. In fact, he was shaking. I logged into the game on the first play.

I'm taking the ball. I give my teammate a hand. I stick my butt out. The man said it was illegal illegal I don't think so I'm going to do it I see in the corner my teammate finds me I missed the open three but on the way back I go for the rush play I get fouled with the loose ball those are the ones types of plays that coaches look for, damn, that was tough, yeah, stealing from the big man, that was a great play. Our team is down by one point with 10 seconds left, the guard shoots the ball, misses it, and I.

Tap the rebound for our player for the win and he blocks it, no, but guess what the coaches saw, that call was great, take a minute, we'll get going, good job, good rebound. I didn't score, but I was a defensive monster. To say the least, I was getting some rebounds here, I was making winning plays, that's what coaches are looking for guys, so my team went into the loser's court, but now we're up 12 to four. game but we are winning it is a team game in which they almost dunked me but I am showing it to the coaches I will put my body on the line my teammates were selling my clips that was a beautiful pass well he nor he is my inactive a Come on wow, I made that layup I scored against professionals, it felt so good, but on the next play my career changed forever oh, it hurt, yes, it hurt.

My rotator cuff was completely strained. I know it was hard to see what happened the moment I felt like my entire shoulder came off. I couldn't play anymore. The male driver was crashing into me. I am flying to the right side of my body. I tried to cut it. I feel like my shoulder is dislocated or something. Not my NBA dreams, and with that. injury I am retiring from my professional basketball career, leaving it as one of the biggest questions in sports history, if not the biggest, what I could have accomplished, the world may never know, but we will still see if the coaches would have chosen me. up, let's be real right now I know it's on your mind I know it's on my mind Am I getting a spot on the team?

I think you were really close, but I have to say, I don't think we'll get there, but you. I know at the end of the day the good thing is that I'm just the head coach, that's not up to me, that's up to David Fori. I didn't make the G League team, so there was one thing I had to do. I had to train like LeBron James himself for a week to be good enough to enter the NBA in a week. I'm flying to Utah to play in the NBA Celebrity Game and I have to get the MVP, but in the last year I've gained over 30 pounds and I'm coming off a partially torn miniscus and that's why I'm going to train like LeBron James for next week to get an MVP shape for basketball practice.

It was only right that I work with the same coach as LeBron James Chris Johnson Chris is about to be my coach all week. If I'm not working as hard as LeBron, you have to yell at me. Okay, let's go find it. The first thing we are going to do is try my basketball. Baseline to see where we are from day one to day seven, the three baselines we're testing are: can I make 10 mid-range shots and 10 three-pointers on the first day? Oh, wait a minute. I've been working a little, oh God no. That was capable for my mid ranges.

I did eight out of 10, 10, which makes it very difficult for me at the end of the week. NBA 3. I got 6 out of 10, which is actually pretty good, so I have some good baselines to start with. Another baseline, if I can do a mate, I haven't done it in 2023, to be honest, because you were actually very cold upon arrival. The baseline was solid, but we're going to raise the bar, so Chris Johnson is good friends with Dwayne Wade, who is the captain. from the celebrity gaming team that I'm on and we made a deal that if we can get better on Friday, we'll call Dwayne on FaceTime and ask him to start or we'll have him come to the facility and see if we can.

Negotiate with this owner since, since it is his team, let's do it. If I start in the celebrity game, I'll have a much better chance of getting MVP. I have to improve, so the first day was about preparing my base, we took a lot of shots. We ended up shooting over 500 shots that day, a lot of NBA 3 getting me ready for that because it's a big difference from a high school three-pointer, which I'm used to how you feel right after that. I'm fine, my cardiovascular needs work LeBron James does two workouts every day, starting with strength, so I went to the gym with my son CJ, who is actually the strength and conditioning coach at Sierra Canyon, where Bronny plays During the first half of training, we worked a lot on recovery. things for my miniscus strengthening all the muscles around him ready to go then his son hit his upper body yes sir we are getting there after two excellent workouts.

I had to fix my body. I had to get some food in me like you. Guys, you know LeBron has a chef preparing a meal, so this week I had to bring in Chef Jizzy to help me. You know we have been training very hard, my body needs the nutrients, so what are we going to cook today? So today we have salmon pasta. It has all the nutrients you need to keep you full of energy and ready to go, let's go. I'm really excited to try this bro, I have a restaurantfive stars in the cradle, I live like a goat training as if it were a good life.

Giving you a hug like that is incredible, it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. My God, the king loves his red wine. Personally, I never drink red wine. I'm going to have some today. Actually, it's good. LeBron's recovery. What we are trying today is cryotherapy. You enter a chamber that is 160°F. He had never done it before. I'm a little scared, but what better way to do it than with my friends. Come on, you know how cold he is. They don't do well in the cold we're going to turn into an ice cube this is probably worse than the North Pole we have to put on special equipment so let's change guys new fit what you think ready for it where do you come from? joh yeah I was there I see you there I have no idea going in guys look at the steam it feels cold it was amazing having my friends there to support me through all of this made it so much easier wow very shaky .

I feel like I've done it. a lot more energy than 2 minutes ago LeBron spends 1.5 million on his body every year 2 minutes $50 so these things add up to enough I would definitely do it again the second day early in the morning we go back to the gym another strength workout let's do it You better watch out when Jess comes in with the big body if I see 21 Savage in the lane I'm in. going down 2 I think he might be on my team so maybe I won't do it. It's time to recover. Today's recovery choice will be compression pants.

LeBron has been known to wear these. He had never used them before, so this. This is my first time trying this, let's do it right, we have the exact same ones that LeBron wore, has LeBron ever stopped here? We're in the area, not that I know of, but send him over, he probably has some at his house, honestly. Okay, I'm here, I've got it on so far. I can feel him slowly compressing, but he hasn't hit my legs yet. If it were LeBron, he would have already hit his legs. My legs are a little smaller. POV, you have the normex.

One thing I've learned this week is that recovery is essential, but it's so boring, you just sit here, oh yeah, cheers, thanks. I really feel like LeBron, oh my God, light D, so crazy, feel good, I feel kind. to feel the same as when I walked in here maybe tomorrow I'll feel more like tomorrow I wake up less sore and after my compression pants a historic moment occurred in LeBron James' career, we just witnessed LeBron break the scoring record. Yeah, who wakes up that early? Three coaches on the way. I am not going to lie. I'm feeling pretty sore, especially in my quads, but mentally I'm ready to move on.

I'm excited. Here we go, the first half of the training we all concentrate. In my miniscus recovery, I broke it in my last video I uploaded to this channel on this trampoline trick we did, but with all the recovery stuff I've been doing, I've actually been feeling very, very good, so It is a great day of signs. three strength workouts done, we've crushed it, that's workout number one, crossing the pool is about 50° perfect for a cold plunge 3 3 2 1 deep breath I'm done, I'm done good, I was freezing, but I'm glad Having done so, according to the Internet, LeBron says he loves peanut butter jelly sandwiches and peanut butter apples as a snack, so I'm looking for the exact same snack, a meal fit for a king.

I feel like he hasn't made peanut butter and jelly in a long time. Like 5 years, it's good, although the lethal combination of apples and peanut butter is delicious, working on that baseball, hey, look at the handles, bro, have some respect for my name, my low-key handles look good these days, the approach The main part of the training again was shooting and the cardio required a lot. NBA three-pointers at the end of practice, Cory and I decided to do a little one V one 2 1 Cory won, honestly, it's cool Shifty. I have to respect his name a little.

He also has great defense. I am gas. This is exactly what I want. Although I need to, you know what, let's see if Jess, the man's coach, asked me to try to dunk it again, that's one of my baselines, it's only Wednesday, but hey, I'm going to try, we're good, we're in the building, yes, sir, hey. I completed one of the baseline three, so I only need two more for Chris to call Dwayne Wade and tell him to start me after practice. I asked NBA player Brandon Boston if he had any advice for me, go out and be a killer.

He's fine and you have to talk a little, make it interesting, you know what I'm saying. I'm going to strictly trash talk too, he's on you, OGM, I'm looking at you bro, I'll dunk you, you can't protect me, you worked too hard. Today I put a lot of pressure on my knee, so we're going back for more cryotherapy, but this time we'll do localized cryotherapy, another tool that LeBron uses and we're going to focus on my knee, the meniscus, this is definitely going to help. I'm definitely a bigger fan of whole body cryotherapy than localized cryotherapy.

He looked really cool just shooting that little gun. I have to say this is a real dog so sick, this is sick, my knee feels pretty cold and numb, oh this feels good. It's amazing, I needed this. I really did it. My body is not used to all this exercise on day four. We had to mix it up in an interview. LeBron James said this. Sometimes I stay home and exercise. Sometimes I'll go to a real class. I have attended Versa climber classes or spin classes today. I'm doing my first cycling class. Here we go. Cycling class is no joke.

I'm dead tired, ready to go next. Now I have the cardio. That's the most important thing in this. On training day we did a lot of 1V drills, which was really nice because earlier in the week I did almost all the shots to warm up. He made me do the dribbling drills, it literally felt more like a memorization exercise, so look guys, one, two, one. two one two one two two one feet feet Yes activate your feet that's got it Jess has been training from a skills perspective now it's time to put it into a live performance let's get to work J 5 4 3 2 5 4 3 4 3 2 1 Chris took the W, so pay attention to the trainer that old Str Squad has.

My body is not used to these daily routines of multiple workouts. It hurts pretty bad everywhere, especially during strength training. Marus Morris just got on the train and we. We're out of here, NBA players come and go. It's crazy that training is over. Next step, let's recover a little. Damn, there's a lot of ice. My muscles are very sore so this will definitely help me. There is a lot of ice, although juicy. ju MVP MVP MVP oh it's cold oh I'm here I'm here get there 3 2 1 get in there it's so cold dude, that was so much worse than the cryotherapy they say on game day LeBron will take a nap before the game earlier in the day that I invited a group of friends over to play tag tonight, so I'm going to shower, take a nap, come back.

I woke up from a nap smelling the most delicious thing coming out of the kitchen. Hey, everyone likes that. Oh my god, you are an amazing chef, thank you so much, thank you, this is so good. I'm going to finish this meal, get ready for tonight to play basketball with the boys, all the friends came, yeah, basically simulating an NBA. on game day, but in my backyard, so we're just going to play basketball, have fun, work some, man, let's do it, hey, oh, oh, there's more points, I've been working on it all week, we went two and 0. tonight that's all I'm talking about this is a good race although it's always fun to play with the boys lifting weights tomorrow baby let's do it it's the fifth day you guys are not positive today my whole body hurts body living like LeBron James is not easy On Friday my body was defeated brother.

I wasn't trying to work out on Friday, but we focused more on stretching and regaining flexibility. The main recovery method NBA players use is simply getting a sports massage, so I asked my son Ted to come to the crib. The massage was probably the most effective recovery method of all, it made my hips feel so good, okay damn, tomorrow is my rest day? ​​I just did sports right on time. I'm about to be big, relaxing today is the best. deserved day of rest from my entire life my whole body hurts so I'm going to be sitting on this couch all day I have the food coming to me life couldn't be better I've been spoiled this week very delicious it was already the last day of the training and when I walked into the basketball gym I saw the NBA Allstar, John Wall, so I asked him for some tips for the game that we have to try to win MVP, win MVP, yes you can play whatever you want to win MVP, MVP is the ultimate goal. basketball practice day and at the end of practice we are testing the baseline, today we had our final practice, we actually worked on the four point shot and your guy hit one, took another, two, don't tell me what I'm doing. three in a row, boom, three in a row and then your guy even scored four in a row.

I think I'm almost ready for this Celebrity Game and now it's time to see where we are with my baselines, so I've had three. baselines, one was the dunk I made at the beginning of the week and the other two are the 10 mid-range shots and the 10 three-point shots. We are going to try them now, starting with the middle distance. You know, I've been throwing thousands. of shots, I literally have to go eight out of 10, but my jump shot has felt incredible. Your boy started in the corner. I'm known for having the Hall of Fame corner shooter four in a row.

I'm destroying this upper baseline. the key call me cash nasty I was wet like water brother I haven't missed that's up I just have to press the next two I have to get nine boom and my clutch I think I'm him go away now it all depended on the The triple started in the corner, that's it my hot spot. Everyone already knows their guy with two out of two in the corner. I missed the top of the key. Your boy missed two in a row. I had four out of six. I managed to hit three of the next shot x four is good, you know, I am a corner specialist, I have improved on Bas's time, but can I make eight?

Yeah, how you feel, baby, feel good. I feel good, yes. Sir, I improved in all the baselines, unfortunately Chris Johnson couldn't go to the gym that day, he had a family emergency and he told me that he talked to D about it because they are kids, so we will see what happens. Since I was invited to the NBA Celebrity Game I was going to have incredible access to the players, so I decided to make all my Idols shoes custom before I left for Utah for Allstar Weekend. This is me about a surprise LeBron James with a pair of custom basketball shoes at Allstar Weekend and this is just one of the 10 pairs of custom basketball shoes I brought to surprise the stars, but there was one major problem, we were 2 weeks before the event and had no idea who was going to play in the NBA.

The All-Star Game and these shoes take a while to make so I had to predict so I went with Steph Curry Luca Zion Williamson LeBron James Yannis Paul George Damen Lillard Trey young Donovan Mitchell and Dwayne a confirmed captain for the game of NBA celebrities with 2 weeks left. and my predictions caused me to send the shoes around the world to be designed two days before I left. I had all the shoes except the ones from Germany and in my free time I decided to send direct messages to all the NBA players on Instagram to increase my chances of meeting them starting with LeBron James I don't think he will see my message, it doesn't hurt to try with goat, I have custom shoes for you, don't be a stranger, it's okay, I sent it to LeBron, what's up Donavan?

I'm going to be at the Allstar press day. I'd love to give you a winking face, uh, what I messaged all the players, let's see if they respond later in the video with one day left. I didn't have it yet. the shoes from Germany, so there was only one option left, having someone fly from Germany to Los Angeles to deliver the shoes to me in person. We're leaving for the all-star game tomorrow morning and this man just arrived from Germany to deliver the shoes. shoe that's absurd I can't believe I flew for this thank you so much for coming here that's a problem problem from Germany from Germany it took about 11 and a half hours yeah that's a legendary guys hand delivered literally this is crazy like if the moment couldn't be more clutch ooh so cute damn ice TR oh that's gas for King James ooh that's so sexy the swoosh back too real gold real gold yeah have you noticed here on the laces damn?

Bronny says on the laces I have to take this to LeBron like you came from Germany. I'll take this to LeBron James. It will happen. Thank you very much for coming to the next step. Salt Lake City Utahbaby, we have We arrived in Utah, we are at home base right now, all 10 shoes have traveled here safely since I started this video. Steph Curry got hurt, Zion Williamson got hurt, and Trey Young just didn't disappoint the All-Star Game, so now there's only seven shoes left on them they got hurt, no one responded to my Instagram DMS either, so it wasn't looking good for us, also sign up to be on my wall like this guy one day before the celebrity game, last chance to get my I shot my jump shot well, so we're doing rehearsals and then we're going to the NBA crossover.

I'm going to put on my jersey for the celebrity game. I'm really excited about that tonight. I'm going to have a training session with the lethal shooter man to hit my jump shot so I can be the MVP for him baby, let's understand how many points I'm losing 23 23 that would be crazy to come back how many points do you think I'm losing I have 11 people on my team, yes, but you are the best basketball player on the team and you are the most handsome and the most intelligent. I don't know if any of this is true, but I'll take it.

I think you were at least 30 last year. 18 points, it's last year, Tristan, how many points did you make me lose? I'm going to keep a dollar with you. I need a piece of 30. I'm not going to lie, people have high expectations for me. I have a lot to accomplish. I'm nervous because we were doing a rehearsal for the Allstar MBA on Saturday night, so Zach and James got to compete in the official skills challenge. Come on and there were only 5 seconds left in the skills challenge. Can Gidel ring the doorbell? No and we lost. we were a second away, I blew it, we lost the skill challenge by almost a second, we have to redeem ourselves, we are going to win this one, hands down, and we will redeem ourselves, we did it on the team shot we were shooting, we got a score of equipment. of 25, so we'll compare it later in the video and see what the NBA guys get.

We're here for the first team half-court skills challenge tiebreaker. They did it in 28 seconds. This is our D moment. he D is he after winning the skills challenge, it was time to go and win the three point contest. I scored 19 in the three-point contest. We're about to dive into the NBA crossover, I'm not entirely sure what it is, but I'll find out after playing against my team's captain, Dwayne Wade, he stopped in the arena. Hi Dwayne, I just have to let you know that I've been working on my four pointer all week. NBA 3es, ask Chris.

Chris Johnson told me that Jesser. I was in the gym. I saw some images of them. I feel very confident in Team Dwayne. What do you need from me on Friday? We have to put on the show. We had a good time. Make this memorable.Make this the best celebrity game they've ever had and do your thing. Choose the MVP if you want. I'm going to choose the MVP. I'm going to choose the MVP. Well, I'm that type. I'm the Captain type. He's going to say shoot the ball, what are you doing? Sho, a four point, how many points, what are you doing, what am I aiming for.

I'm going to try to be the hustle player. I'm going to go for all the rebounds, I think that's it. That's super key, he walked into this place, he's sick, they have wires up against that wall, this is like a basketball Disneyland, we have a ski simulator here, I feel like I can't take this guy Tristan anywhere, What is it, are you serious? imagine he hit that, did anyone do it the first try? It will happen. I'll get it on the first try. oh my first try. I have money in my pocket right now, so don't challenge. okay, oh, I told you, oh my god, try it first.

I've come to practice, this arena is crazy, man for the Vlog, man you ready to get the dough tomorrow. What's going on? Vlog, my goal is for us to win and stay injury free. I hope to stay injury free too, honestly you have an injury. bro, I make it work, I had a very intimate training session, there are literally only four of us here today, the other team is probably outside, even. I'm sleeping early and I'm drinking water. Four-point flywheels right here, I got you. I was so close, I'm not going to lie, I took an L on 21 I missed three game winning threes, let's see if I can get a Dun, I'm back at the hotel, time to get my jersey fitted for the celebrity game.

I have no idea what Jersey is going to look like. I'm very excited about this. It's still all surreal. I still can't believe all this is happening. Look at the Jersey. This is sick and it's my favorite number. Come on, how do I look amazing? come on yes sir jesser Luka little Luka I'll take you and this is like a dream come true wearing this doesn't feel real how the fit of the shirt was made the shirt looks sick it still feels surreal even putting it on do you have it? a gift for me, we have a gift for you, what about the Utah Jazz, damn, no way, the Utah Jazz color balloon, what I didn't expect, that's amazing, thank you very much, shout out to the best host of the Utah Jazz.

I feel different. Y'all see me, see this Co, how did we end up here? From making NBA 2K videos when I was 14 13 to the Celebrity Game using this Co. Which I still can't believe. This is really happening. How did I end up here? so many emotions man I'm extremely grateful to have you supporting me without you this would never happen so I love you today is the big day. Last night I was nervous, excited, I didn't really get much sleep, but We're heading to NBA Cares right now, go tell the kids what it's really about Jess, are you excited tonight or what, oh my gosh, it was really cool to tell the kids. kids what one even said I inspired? playing basketball, so that was cool and then I met the tallest guy at camp.

How many points do you think I'm going to score tonight in the Celebrity Game? 100 points. My guy came to my high school game when I went. I'm crazy I'm going to that game tonight so I really need him to be okay so we're all supposed to meet here and then we're going to the game together right now it's just me and Trav with the first ones here next . to two of the Ops and absolute Legends in the building have fun tonight man The Legend how's it going tonight I'm going to try it H fun man make sure you get hurt that's about getting hurt stay healthy I have my teammate with me I'm not going to lie when I saw you come down I literally thought about going upstairs and changing out of my whole outfit oh my god fire this is the only day in my entire life I can dress as ridiculously as I want that's how you know it is.

Much of the entire experience is like the pre-game tune-up. I literally wore half my suit ready for the game, bro, like it's high school, no, you look like an athlete, even though we respect the team, we have to remember that this is. a once in a lifetime opportunity I need each of you to push yourself and work your hardest we will never forget this day let's get a team weighing the three of us 1 2 3 I'm full of Al on my butts they had four spinning wheels bands, I thought, oh , I'll get into this one, the only one here, this is what I do it for, man, my son and my other son, Buster and Humphrey, locked up, now guys, this is the most legendary moment of my life.

I'm on the celebrity game court. I don't see where my coach or my captain is. We wait to find out what I'm going to warm up We finish shooting I still don't see my coaches or my captain We have to deliver these shoes and still get the MVP C for your brother Yes sir, leave him behind, you are a good coach I have a gift for You, man, I have some shoes for you, although you made this, this young designer, I left this card in, thank you so much, man, hey, hey, he's going to play the whole game.

My game plan is working, as long as you make a shot, you're going to play. the whole game thank you very much, I appreciate it. I have some D. I hope I'm on your side. This basketball influencer has traveled throughout the NBA creating videos viewed by hundreds of millions of fans, the little clap master and my favorite YouTuber, Jess Jess, the little clap. teacher, this is how you know me my first time on big television and you know me as the little applause. Master, you know what I'll take it because it's true, if you're new to this channel, very awkward, um, when I celebrate.

My choice is just a little clap, you'll see that later in the game. I don't do it on purpose, it just happens that he also said that I was his favorite YouTuber, so it's awesome. Shout out to you Sam, it was game time to start people, although I didn't make the starting lineup, so I'm going to put this back up, don't put me to sleep bro, I've been negotiating all month for this, getting the starting lineup is difficult. I'm happy to be there, there are 11 players on the team, we have a full team and the game started, we won tip-off and instantly threw a turnover, that's what celebrity games are like, they're hectic, Kane Brown pulls up for three. aerial ball great start to the game then my boy DK got the ball everyone moved in the direction hey he got a dunk light work for DK brother he is one of the most athletic people I have ever seen in my life on the next play my boy goes in and finds Nicki Jam's four pointer Ruffles is a deep shot throws balls in the air Wade is not happy hey no the Ruffs get behind the line Ruffles is tough dwade is the right Wade was not happy with Ruffles' four pointer but the ball goes out to seu for Ruffles Four B you say that's why he's a superhero our team was jumping to start the game look this simu comes in for the layup it's 10 to 2 we're dominating since we were on a roll dwade activated the timer crisis that causes points to double for both teams for 2 minutes, crazy things happen in the Celebrity Game, our first play with the time-activated Ruffles CR, DK drives the bomb and one, yes, technically that was worth four points and if he makes the free throw, that's an extra two, so if he makes this free throw, it's a six-point free throw.

Play Bricks, the free throw, but we're up 16 to four, the other team goes down right after that and gets one and one of their own during the free throw, it's about time. for substitutions this is my moment coach I'm ready I'm ready they didn't substitute me um there were six of us on the bench I was the only person who wasn't substituted but it's okay Giannis, you're sleeping I'm nice, don't get it twisted, I'm just going to come back Let's put this in with the squad's new first play. Down D way yells at Janelle Janelle we open Janelle when we open Janelle when we open the man Janelle we open 21 Savage comes in a good crossover with the assistance to the beautiful middle distance our team is trying to have fun here we give the ball to Janelle and they come out as some hungry Lions go down they get a foul on the layup we start to lose the lead our team was going downhill they made a layup and took the lead time out coach you have to put me on this is my moment well ladies and gentlemen it's time for your boy I enter the game with 2 minutes in the first I enter the game I am taking the ball, you know what I am a good team player.

I see DK very open for the triple. I pass it to him, he throws it in the air, it's a disaster of rebounds. In some way I help the rebound reach our team. 21 is wide open at the top of the key shots. all three B 21 will you do something for me oh my god it was a four point his foot was on the line of Ruffles dkc's 21 Savage 21 My turn I take the ball I see my boy alex tant wide open three bang look I fall to the ground seven points instantly for my team Osborne right here he was a Hooper Hooper makes the jump shot and then Albert Pulos takes the rebound and they call me for the foul I feel like it was in the 21st although at this point I'm thinking I didn't take any shots Brother, I need to get the ball.

I'm protectingDiamond to Shields and the WNBA player and I think I'm going to try to steal this, so I play aggressive defense to get the foul. call, but it's good because now our team will get the ball back, we can make the final shot before she took her first free throw. Hassan walked up to her and said, "You know, this is on ESPN," trying to get into her head and made La miss her first free throw, a great mental play by Hassan and with 8 seconds left they gave the ball to Alex . Tant. My son was also going for MVP.

He comes in and receives the foul. She makes the first and second free throws and at the end. the first one we were up 26 to 20 i came into the game down one 2 minutes left at the end of the quarter we were up by six men i make things happen for my team okay guys i didn't take a shot on the first one but i got a key assist that I'll take at the end of each quarter, they activated a bonus that changed the game, let's see what the first bonus was 6 verse 6 6 verse 6 what's going on honestly, I was happy because I was like an extra spot on the court sign up Richard Jefferson was doing his thing commenting and all of a sudden it's okay it's okay it's okay I should be a referee I should be a referee I'll come out here I'll take my whistle now he's a referee this man is a legend I didn't end up starting in the second quarter, but it's 6 verse six, this is going to be hectic, they finally put Calvin Johnson in for a layup, everyone's listening to that music, a base drop is coming up, luckily GMO didn't have the range on that one, he was definitely the crowd favorite in the arena, the 6-on-6 basketball was ugly, They were blocking us, we were having turnovers, we got 11 points from the game, maybe it was a disaster. there coach, you need me, not really, it was a disaster after 6 minutes, it was time for a change, the substitutes came on.

I wasn't chosen to go on the court, so I was still on the bench. Tucson was now on the court. on a step back three B damn that was a tough shot 21 Savage comes down the right side of the court picks up the air ball unfortunate after that air ball the coaches knew what to do they put me in the game yes sir so I'm talking of this At that moment, we were 15 minutes into the game. I received assistance. I really have nothing to show for it, so in my head I told myself that the next time I get the ball, I'm going to drive to the basket and shoot it.

I don't care if anyone else passes by. I have to do it on my first play of the game. They give it to their star player Osborne. He comes in and Metap says no. He denies it with a beautiful block. Oh my god, I'm so happy. DK was on my team you guys this is my 21st moment pass me the ball I'm locked in I told myself I'm in and out with a PO hose pass through it fake bomb Calvin Johnson throw it probably not best idea to fake on Calvin Johnson, but hey, I'm going to the free throw line.

I'll finally get some points. The steering wheel crunch timer went on, so the points were doubled, but there were these crazy lights flashing on the dashboard, I definitely wasn't ready for that, my first time. free throw, my hands are very sweaty bro, I'm nervous and it goes in and out, no, I can't train all month to miss two free throws in a row, so I make the second one, which is double points, so it was two points for my diamond for Shields get the ball WNBA Superstar right here I'll come out of nowhere and block her three-pointer today not, not at my house, I didn't really do much so instant replay, look at me with the block, she's a pro.

The co-host throws it at me. I do a little half turn. Low by the defender. I'm thinking about shooting but I almost lost the ball so I throw it to DK which is usually an automatic bucket but he fails to reverse this time and I can't get the rebound either. I take the ball cross from left to right. I hit my guy 21 21 receives the ball. Jab step in, misses it now I'm running back to defense in my head bro. I was thinking too much about this game. I thought about how enlightened I would be if I had a charge against someone, so I saw the host and thought, you know what I'm going to charge with this guy?

This is so embarrassing. I, I, I shouldn't even show you this, I'm ashamed of this clip, just look, I fell to the ground, they're not calling Albert Pulos who was going like 1 mile an hour. I could have blocked it, but in my head. It was like I was taking over, bro, I'm ready for this, having the ball on top. I told him, "You know what I'm going to go help him." Put a screen on it. My man was going for those MVP drives. he comes in and gets fouled on the floater. He was starting to realize that the only way to really get the ball is to rebound.

You saw that the first reference shot misses. The second free throw is over, he misses it. I was one of the rebounders. There I look. Down the court and I see someone open so I turn on the Jets and intimidate him and get the rebound. I went coast to coast to help get the stop. I'm putting on the energy trainer. You see me, I'm pushing, so. As I walked down the court I thought: do you know what I'm doing? I see Ruffles' four-point line. I go up, brother, I make it fly on the back of my head.

I don't know why I was afraid of someone blocking me. free mind was too much in my head sorry coach my confidence shooting out of bounds you can't see it but 21 Savage walks up to me puts his arm around me and says this hey bro you gotta slow down pass the ball down Sorry Mr. Savage, everyone was throwing the ball around and on the next play DK hits a three, it's up and he shoots it too. I'm not the only one the other team goes down, throws a horrible bounce pass, we get the steal but then the team steals it back and then I get the block, clean block and they call a foul bro it was all ball so Now guys, I have three fouls, pulos, the first shot is in and the second shot. referee's in too I'm mad I'm snapping the ball I see my guy simu Shang chi in the building pass him a dribble up the midrange is in and out DK gives me the rebound pause okay I probably should have shot this but my guy was very open for the three so I passed him out, he takes the three and it's an absolute combination to get the rebound.

Albert Poost and I are fighting about it and it ends up being a leap. but look at that man, I'm pressing, I'm getting so many bounces on the jump, I swear, the host hit this one out of bounds, but they called me, I swear the ref was selling, there's about 20 seconds left right now, the ball it goes. towards DK DK sees me in the corner Pump Go to pass P host I see Calvin Johnson I go up for the contact layup I'm not afraid of anyone Calvin Johnson is a beast but I'm not afraid of contact at the end of the half we are down by three points.

In the first half he had four points, a couple of rebounds and assists, but he still wasn't putting up MVP numbers and the next bonus that was unlocked was unlocking a Legend. So Carlos Boozer has now joined our team. Brother has been living well since he retired, he has gained some weight, I don't think he has been in the gym at all. Now let's see who the other team gets. Richard Jefferson. The referee took off his referee suit and joined the other team. not good Richard Jefferson is a beast Richard went from commentating to playing and now plays on the other team on the first play of the second half, the other team comes in and gets the ball to Guo, then Boozer blocks it, poor Guo, honestly, the guy came into the game for thug mode, then Richard Jefferson comes back and just announces it.

Boozer, no energy, no effort. Richard Jefferson wasn't playing around, the man just does it with ease. Richard Jefferson was defending 21 and they decide to double team, they catch us. 21 throws the turnover in the second half. It didn't look good for us, they made a clutch dunk, so they're big now. Richard Jefferson comes in from the corner and commits the foul. Boozer. I need you to play a little defensively. He was on the bench. I literally started talking to the coaches. I was as a coach, I'm going to give you that energy. Alcohol isn't doing anything out there.

I'll hurry. I'll get us rebounds. They were trying to win. The other team was starting to take the lead. Osbor did a spinning floater and then. Richard Jefferson receives the rebound and is fouled again. Boozer was not powered. Boozer at the top stops, that's his shooting brick, then Richard Jefferson, the Legend of him, comes down and makes a basket. It looked bad for our team. Tucson tries the triple. aerial balls timeout during the timeout I was telling the coaches that I'm going to give them all that energy I'm a hustler and I'm talking to Giannis when you bounce the ball you can take it to the end if someone is there if nobody is in front you throw the ball, nobody It's in front of you, see, I'm getting all the bounces, first of all, I can only say that it is one of the best music videos of mine in my entire life.

Second, Yannis told me that if I get the rebound, it goes to the end. or look up the court and pass with a minute and a half left in the third quarter your guy is controlled again in the game we are down by 11 points when I came on with a minute and a half left guys look who is defending me Geo is not No There is a way for Guo to stop me. I'm thinking Simu hit me. I have the mismatch of all times. Instead, Simu comes in and finds DK, who goes up, tries to get the sign, and gets fouled.

DK scores the first free throw and then the second. DK shoots it, misses himself, great mind game gets the little floater going, that's ideal. OGM had the coolest shot of all time. The ball got stuck. He was shooting it at me. Thank God, he didn't make it. Bro. Gyo did it. I would have been embarrassed after that, they warned me about the memes: it was GMO against DK, obviously, DK even hits stucón, who gets the layup, it was an incredible play. GMO receives the ball, our team decides to double and drops it to The Miz The Miz hands it to him Kane Brown makes the layup and misses The Miz grabs it boom I strip it and then I remembered what Giannis told me nobody is in front of you, so I threw it to DK. you know what's going to happen hey DK with your guy's assist dunk I listened to my coach I did exactly what he told me your guy is here making winning plays for his team and now at the end of the third we were only down four points in the minutes 1 and A2 where I was in the third we beat it by seven points.

I'm making winning plays for the final bonus. It was the captain's challenge. Both captains had to have a three-point shooting contest. 25 threes each they make is a point for their team, so we all think brother, we have Dwayne waiting on our team like this is easy, we are about to recover from our captain, Ryan goes first and he actually scored. 11 threes which was sick we all thought oh we have dwade this is going to be easy we are about to get a big lead our captain dwade goes and he only ended up getting 10 points so going into fourth instead of being down by four points now we were Down by five points, the coaches didn't even say who was subbing, so I literally walked on the court, I thought I was here, so your guy was starting in the fourth quarter, first play of the game.

DK receives the ball, stops for the triple and shoots it, it was a shame, the next play rope falls and he misses the open layup. I get the rebound and remember what the coach said, go coast to coast in and out. all the time they commit on your boy come on this is my moment shot and I do it just barely edged come on five points to my name next free throw I have to make two in a row boom come on we are about to witness something absolute BS, the other team SA save the ball, the guy is in front of me.

I hit the ball 100%, he shoots and gets the and-one on me, but I didn't even foul him, stop the flames, so now I have four fouls. right and the worst part was on him and he misses a free throw, they get the rebound, the brother shoots down, he fouls me and commits another one and a back to back and others on me, so I received five fouls now that I was . heated up we are down with eight points with 6 minutes and 1/2 it was time for the comeback my boy simu had the ball he gets a small screen he goes to the end big layup the other team misses me and tucon they both try to get the rebound it's a quick counterattack three against Two And he decides to get between them and shoot, he misses but Arque gets the rebound a step back I'm like I need to get this rebound I'm rushing I'm running on the floor pass it back to Arque she throws it to tucón for the three of them throw in the air I catch it and one ah ah you feel me yes sir look at this and one in Albert po host I fell to the ground my whole game plan was like me I'm going to try to be the active player on my team, help my team to win by rebounding and that was also the only way I got the ball, rebounding worked and one helped my team come back and win this game.

I made three and one in a row, two of them were fouls but still you already know that I had to knock down the free throw yes sir, your boy now has ninethe shoes, the only two we have left are LeBron and Zion, we haven't seen LeBron James all weekend. We're going to go to a few different conventions to see if we can meet up. Zion, but this is our last chance. This is a crazy setup. I had no idea it was going to be like this. I want to say hello, how are you? You are a legend, brother, I just want to cut off your hand, you are a legend, thank you.

Thank you very much, how are you? I'm great, I met some legends. Now tonight is the All-Star Game.
