And that man you see on your screen is joining us here, eh?

NBA champion.

Four time All Star point guard for today and every day.

John.

Rhonda.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Im not greeting you that I really only that I don't need that.

Look, this team has changed so much since we left you last.

What was it like going through this summer?

When you and I talked at the last game of the season?

You weren't sure?

If you're gonna be on this team again this year, take us through getting Anthony Davis and what everything's been like for you.

Um, it's been a crazy summer, but most part of great summer.

Nonetheless, as far as coming back this organization with additions that we made that we added this year, I'm extremely excited about what we have this upcoming season.

Last year during that stretch, the where LeBron got injured and a lot of people never really paid attention.

You got injured in the exact same game and we talked about this.

You finished off the game.

You guys beat the warriors and then you go down.

Bron goes down and the team obviously completely changed.

Now, with Koosman out to start the season, you know, Are you guys just kind of like having these conversations about how to just work together in a way, when guy when you're a little bit more short handed?

Is that a discussion that you guys are having?

Well, I think we're pretty deep in every position.

So, unlike last year, things weren't as consistent as far as our rotation and consistent play that we had.

So this year, in particular, I think starting the season off, right, one of two guys out.

But for the most part, like I said, we're pretty deep in every position.

How do you think the offense looks this year in L.

A with a dear, When you envision the team playing, do you picture a fast paced, slow pace inside out of what you picture fast pace.

I think we're gonna take pride of defense, and that's going to get us out on the break.

We'll be able to get stops and clean up the glass.

We've got Anthony Davis here waiting in the wings and the eyes of YouTube.

Reuniting is what only me the most fun story lines of this season.

Why did you to want to play together again?

Well, I had a lot of success, obviously, with one of the firm.

Sure.

Pretty sure.

A first ballot Hall of Famer.

Ah, fun guy, willing listener.

And, like, said he could do it all in the court.

I haven't played with a guy this exciting since.

Probably Kevin Garnett.

That could do all and do the intangibles and make a difference on both ends of the court.

What should we ask him when he comes on in the next segment, I want you to give us some inside scoop so I can go ask him.

Is it gonna win?

Defense played here.

All right.

I like that.

You challenge the Gotland hammer.

John Rhonda, Thank you so much for joining us, sir.

We will see you out on the court.

Thanks so much for watching ESPN on YouTube from or sports analysis and highlights.
