"You played against the nuggets in the Western Conference Finals in the bubble in 2020. And after you got traded to Denver, in your first interview there, you talked about how you could tell then that that team, like that wasn't just a walk over for you guys in the Conference Finals that year. That team had potential to do some special things. Why did why did you think that it was a four one series they were kind of a young team, the bubble was weird. What was so convincing to you about that nucleus? Just watching them the previous series they had against clippers and things like that. Just watching them before and then watching them doing the season or how they play how hard they play to resilient resiliency. It just stood out to me and then once we started playing them, we went up to one, I felt like I was one one, I felt like if AD, when they make that shot, you know, that was my feeling, my opinion. I feel like they would have won a series that had the momentum going into it. And they had a game plan that we couldn't stop, you know, and I felt like if we went to AD when it made that big use at three, it would have been a whole different series. You were on the court for that for that shot. I rewatched it just before this year on the weak side. I mean, that was a play call for AD. Was there part of you that was like, man, I wish that play call was for me. I'm ready to take that shot. Like, what do you remember about that huddle and the reaction of that shot? The play was for anybody to get a wide open shot, you know, whoever was going to get the ball. And I feel like at the time, plumlee and yoke had a miscommunication there in AD ended up being wide open and we just got the ball to me. He knocked it down. Wasn't expecting him to be that open. But he ended up knocking it down, man. That saved that series for us. What's different? What have you learned about yogic playing with him that you couldn't know or didn't know from just watching him playing against him? We all know he's great at two time MVP. But what's different playing for him, playing with him? He's very, he's very unselfish by he don't care who's scoring, who don't care who's like having a hot game or whatever. He's a willing passer and one of the reasons why I'm shooting the percentage that I'm shooting now. If you open, you're going to get the ball if his

"Riley Leonard rushed for two touchdowns and threw for a 173 yards as duke beat UCF 30 to 13 to win the military bowl. The blue Devils compiled 350 yards of total offense while winning the time of possession battle. Leonard says that was key. Yeah, I feel like we can we control the game pretty well. Obviously they gotta really explosive offense so we wanted to keep their snap count to a minimum. I think we executed pretty well on offense. Had a couple of three and outs here and there. But throughout the game we consistently ran the ball. Duke's defense harassed knight's quarterback John Rhys plumlee, who was sacked 6 times a military bull record. Craig heist Annapolis, Maryland.

"There. And I'm like, oh my God. That's me. I'm a turtle on a fence post. That's what he said about himself. That's what I like to steal that from. But I got to give him credit. Say about myself. I do feel like a turtle on a fence post at times. Here at the ranger edge, et cetera. I didn't get here by myself. Someone had to put me up there, but I'm proud to be here and I'm trying to capitalize it while on it. Well, I got the mic here with you or well, anyone will hear me. And maybe I will think about a book. Yeah, no, I think that would be amazing. Now that you've mentioned his name, you can now patent it and use it however you want because you own it at this point. I really appreciate you coming on the show, Marshall and sharing your journey so far. And we hope to follow your career in the future as things progress and wish you nothing but the best and success. And I do hope that you consider something like that. Again, we'd love to have you come back on the show. I'm sure I'd like to spend another hour or two with you and least talking about some other leadership nuggets. It seems like you've not only lived the experience, but you have a lot to be able to share from just, again, the things you've learned. I really appreciate I'm honored to be on here. And I'd be happy to come back. This is fun. Hanging out with good people like you guys. This is a lot of fun. It's been an honor in the time you've worked around you in my career.

"Follow you. Seriously, give yourself some credit here. You've got great leadership. You've got, I love your stories. I could probably sit here at another three hours and listen to them. The nuggets of information that you're dropping, whether it's the story of how it occurred to you or how you've seen it play out or whatever the case may be sharing those is just amazing. I don't know if you've ever planned on writing. I know everybody a lot of people come on here and talk about writing a book. But if you ever think about doing that and you do it around the way like coach K did and around leadership and how you applied the game or your life's lessons into that, I'd buy that book in a heartbeat. I was thinking the same thing. I mean, totally. I mean, you put that in print, dude. There's just so much good that can come out of that. And so I hope if nothing else, you do consider doing that. If you haven't done it, it's already started thinking about it because there's only so much that you can impart a small amount of time when you're with your NCOs or when you're with your junior officers and stuff and you're trying to give them that coaching and that mentoring. But as those types of platforms or whatever platforms like this where you can reach a broader audience and you can actually make a more impactful. Impactful messages and put those fingerprints and stuff like that, take every opportunity you can because you've got a lot to share. And again, I got to chalk it up to surrounding yourself with good people. I want to mention this. Jason, you know, staff sergeant Reynolds, he's one of our mortar men. He's been a long tenured regiment guy. And he gave me, he told me something that during one of our counseling. And he said, he said, sir, and he put down his dip bottle. Yes. That's when you know he's serious. Three rangers to that pantry. He's like, sir, I'm like a have you ever seen a turtle on a fence post? I said, no, I've never seen a turtle on a fence post. He said, well, if you did, you'd probably think that turtle didn't get there by himself. Someone had to put him up.

"That he probably literally just learned what it was. You know what I mean? To the point where he's trying to bathroom going, okay, and this is that. And it literally sounded like you've been sitting there doing it for the last 15 years. I was like, what the hell? Well, you have that way caring about yourself. And again, the way you carry yourself probably is because of how you came through everything and who touched your lives along the way. But you also have that voice and the way you carry yourself, I could totally hear yourself in an NBA game doing a sports cast as well type of thing. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, you just have that confidence about you. It's a humble confidence. It is. But somebody come off really confident, like they can almost come off like cocky. You don't even have any of that. You go with a smile and I've interrupted you talking and I've come and talked to you and be like, hey, buddy, and you're just like, oh, yeah, roger. Very humble, take whatever you got to give him. And put it in his playbook, if you will, and execute with the utmost humility and it makes you want to be better. You're like, I'm not being pissed off about that. He's amazing. Was it challenging for you? Because you didn't get that time within conventional enough time that typically do, or did you feel like you got enough time in the conventional to get you prepared? I feel like I did get enough time and my leaders between colonel Chong and the leaders I had JBL lamb. They prepared me in so many ways, but no matter I could have been there for ten years preparing. And I still would have gotten to regimen. I feel like I wasn't prepared enough. So I just, I don't know if I was ever going to be able to beat that feeling of you want to give them your best, but you always feel like you can get better. So no, I'm really grateful with everything, especially COVID. We did some really creative things and navigate training during that time in a safe way. And I got to be a part of some cool opportunities out there. I loved my second ID experience. It did prepare me very well, but it is probably a personal thing. At the end of it, I'm like, man, I want to give ranger regiment the world. I wish I was coming to them a 30 year military veteran with a lot more experience, but they got what they got. They've been able to make do with it. And so I'm grateful that they put up with me. Yeah. So general Brown, where's even like fitting in with all of this through this stage? By the time I got to red when I think at that point, he was retiring. But I don't know if serendipity or what, but at that point, I also started crossing paths with more and more people who general Brown has his fingerprints all over people that he's mentored. I know we mentioned colonel Shaw with the and it's just he's the kind of leader and the kind of character where and he keeps the kind of company where there is in a more powerful icebreaker and certain rooms than saying like, hey, I'm Friends with general Brown. That's all we need to know about you. We know the kind of friends that he keeps, so it's a powerful thing. So I haven't gotten to see him as much in person. He's still doing great things now or retired outside the military he's doing well. But he planted a bunch of trees. He'll never get a seat, grow. There are all these leaders going on to do great things that kind of bear his name in some way. Yeah, so what would you say would be some of the things if you're looking back and you're trying to give some advice to some of those guys that are coming up? What are some of the things that you've learned along the way? And obviously you've had some great coaches and mentors that you've already passed on some great nuggets within the show, but if you wanted to pull somebody up, what kind of advice would you give them? Your timing is good because my mortar platoon we were running a mortar range for eye Bullock students. I was in their shoes just a couple of years ago and same question. What do you wish? Something I told him was I think that's come through this. I said, hey, I wish as much as I did. I wish I would have taken another spoonful of humble pie. From the very beginning, because as soon as you come in here thinking that you know everything, that's that much less that you get the chance to learn. Also, you're in a very unique environment in high bulk. You've got cadre, they're only job and they're metric is making you better. You're not going to be in a whole lot of environments like that in your life. You're going to be in an environment where the guy on your left wants the job more than you almost hopes that you do poorly. This is a special time where this is like a melting pot of talent and mentoring and just take it all in. And you've got to do that with a humble approach. Two, I told the young officers and I'll say here on the podcast in case there are any young officers listening. I.

"Absolutely. That started early. Was that a good or bad thing? Right. Because you got do you have to live in their shoes? Yeah, so coach K, like a lot of great leaders, like yourselves, I'm sure you are trying to be a father. He doesn't take a cookie cutter approach with his players. And he gets to know them, what drives them intimately deeply by putting them in these tough situations and seeing how you react, seeing the kind of person you are, where you're strong, where you're weak. And he helps you overcome those weaknesses, and he doesn't say something to strength. We're going to leave it alone. He said, no, we're going to work on that. That could be your calling card. Anyways, with that approach, he evaluates players and to me, I honestly don't think I could be any more different of a player to him than I'm just as different from miles and mason plumlee as I am from jaleel Okafor, Zion Williamson. He really gives a particular attention in detail to each player and getting to know him. So I'd say in terms of how he treats us, he treats me again just as different as any other player and I say that in a good way. That's amazing. Yeah, no, it really is. And so here we are now in rangers goal, any problems as you go through the program and stuff, once you get in and did you have to recycle or I always ask that question because yeah, no, I actually didn't have to recycle. I ended up linking up with the squad full that was half enlisted rangers from three 7 5. It was funny, now I'm in ranger regiment. We go, hey, I know you. But happened listed range regiments, half eye Bullock junior officers. And their stereotypes out there that hey, we're not going to mix well. We're going to be like oil and water. We got along great. We held each other really accountable in our whole squad. We went all straight through together. We didn't recycle at all. It was really, it was awesome that we got to be close enough to each other that when someone had a look, hey, it's Marshall Marshall's look. It wasn't Marshall's look, this is our look. We all want to get him his go. We're all getting through. Then we're going to feel like you may have played a.

"Ready for your moment. You put Velcro. But Velcro seems to be. That's really deep. Yeah, he's phenomenal. And he's got some books out there and you get the chance to hear him speak. If I say anything that ever sounds profound, it's just some regurgitating something he said. I don't have an original thought in me, but yeah, that helped me also through the NBA draft process. And I wanted to do everything. I didn't know how it would pay dividends, but I wanted to do everything. I want to do all these little things right in the pre draft process. And I tried to not just on the court do the right things. You got to perform, but off the court I tried to do all the little things. And then I went through the draft process. I didn't get drafted. And for a moment there, I had a really bad attitude. These things were talking about appreciating the little things like the push ups. We're talking about coach K in these moments for a split second there. I was like, man, screw all that. I did it all. It didn't help me. Where McDonald's high school player and you didn't get you had a tough go in college. And then you didn't get drafted. You talk about ego checks along the way. When you talk about adverse, everybody has different adversities that were coming. I mean, think about what these guys dreams on the NBA. Some people are just trying to get in the army. But you got the dreams on NBA, but the level of what that adversity overcome for one person like myself to do that and the NBA, but both efforts were equal to accomplish those goals. So it doesn't matter what the hell you're going to put your effort into as long as you've given it like you said and using those moments and that mentality, like you can do it. Yeah. And I'll tell you, I finished this draft process, and I was undrafted. I was sitting there for about a day, undrafted, and all the great things we're talking about, I condemned it all. I'm like, hey, screw these. I've had it the small things don't matter. I did them all. It didn't amount to anything. And then my agent calls me into his office, and he's negotiating a bidding war for me right now is undrafted free agent. And the bidding war starts to escalate to escalates and I'm like, man, if they like me this much, they should have just drafted me. But ultimately, I hear my agent say, I think he's talking to the Knicks. And he says, hey, well, if you offer that, we'll sign right now. Which I know I had to be good, because he didn't even run it by me. But somehow, the Knicks ended up offering me a fully guaranteed, the first year fully guaranteed three year contract. Basically, I had a fully guaranteed contract, so it was the first 30 picks in the NBA draft and Marshall plumlee had a fully guaranteed contract for the draft. And I asked my agent, hey, what's some of the stuff that came out of this? And they said, hey, they noticed you wrote you wrote those like 40. Thank you notes that you hand wrote and you sent to all the coaches that you worked out for, like that little thing, some of the guys they hadn't seen that. They really appreciated that. They said, hey, the Knicks, they caught you on video camera after the workout you're in the cafeteria. You cleaned up the tables and you pushed in the chairs. They saw that and they liked that. So I like to tell people the NBA isn't the top 450 most talented players in the world. I think it's like the top hundred talented player in the world. And then whoever those guys want to play with. Yeah. And they want guys with good attitudes and are going to be about the team. And it's funny. I was just telling you I was condemning these little things. Why did I do all those little things? That wasn't worth it. And really, the only reason I ever got a chance to play in the NBA at all was because of the little things. Honestly, the things that some people think have nothing to do with basketball. There are books written about what you just described there about when no one's looking. When the camera's not on, what are you doing? How are you carrying yourself then? Because that's truly the measure of who you are as a person. And so thankfully they had those video cameras available where they could watch you or whatever. It's a very important lesson because I think so many guys trying to be on in the moment when it matters where they think it matters the most and yet it's so simple gestures and those things when no one you didn't know anybody was looking. Somebody was paying attention. Regular spotlight rangers in the army. So I'm the non military guy in the bunch. I'm sitting here really amazed at your story and we got to spend a little time together a few days ago on the telephone. But when I think back at your 29 years old and so over the last ten years, we're talking about these mentors that's been in your life, your coaches and your military mentors. But over the first portion of your life, what you're saying is what I want my kids to be like. And as a mentor to them, I want to be all these things that your mentors have been to you. Where did that really start? Again, it's my easy button, but I feel like I do have to point it to a lot of it to coach gay. I am really proud of her thankful for my parents. And you've got to give them credit and I'll never be able to pay them back. You're making huge.

"I like to do this sometimes. But I want to talk about think about he's talking about a journey, right? For push ups. Think about the dudes that we get. They're like, I just can't pass the push ups, aren't? I'm like, what? He's like doing literally like, next level, like SpaceX shit. A phone a friend and people who are PTs of how can I do this and work on it and taking trips to places like how you push up. And we got privates in the army, they were like, I don't know why I can't get better. Listen to this podcast and listen to Marshall probably talk. That's why. You can do that. You can do it. You got to put time effort and motivation in it. Thank you for that. I appreciate it. Again, I ended up surrounding we talked about trying ourselves a good people. I ended up surround myself with even more even cooler people through this process, started out, I hit up my trainer with the Milwaukee Bucks. Hey, what do you think I should do? Well, there's this strength coach. Who's really on to some good stuff. He might help with your length and your leverage and anyways. I ended up driving to South Carolina to meet with caldes. I'm sure you may have heard the Brandon Jim's store on X 80 ever get the chance. Now I actually haven't. Yeah, minor plug for them. They do something called sore next summer strong, where it's a convention where they bring together people. Honestly, like you guys, that just tightens up their industry good people and they share all these ideas, but a little bit of an athletic focus. So I got to meet with even more people there. And then I ended up meeting with a major Donald Bingham who was a big part of fort benning and he was one of the major minds behind the new AC FT. And so I was getting it from a guy that might be innovative and a scientist. I was getting it from a guy, kind of the horse's mouth, the guy who designs these army tests and just to get this, this just be real what we're talking about here. Push ups. Push ups. Yeah. They're out there in the army. And.

"Mere mirror. Please help me out, damn it. You were talking about the push ups and everything. So why was the push up so difficult for you? Was it because of your height or something of that nature or was it just not working on that muscle group? Yeah, I think a little bit of both. And then at a certain point you do poor enough at him, it becomes a mental thing a little bit as well. But you've got the longer levers. You've got the physics checks out that it's going to be harder for me to do them. Yeah. He's like a C 5. He can do the work. It just takes a while. I say that. I knew a guy from Guam and I think I've shared this on the podcast, but this guy, when I served with him, he was a beast, man. He had, I wanted his thighs because every time he walked, they just rolled with his muscle and everything, right? He looked like a bodybuilder, but on the PT test, he couldn't do the two mile run because by the time he did the push ups, it wasn't the push ups. It was a setup that got him. He used his thigh muscle because he was so short. He used all of his thighs to do his setup. So when he ran his muscle and his thighs were cramping on him. His stomach in thighs and everything. So he would almost have to try to help him cross the finish line. And now you're talking about a tall immediately I thought of my buddy from Guam and the challenges he had. Yeah. And for me, it turned into this whole journey. One, I'm coming from an athletic background. We're really, I got to reach the levels I did because I was really either a gifted or I was just talented. I was doing stuff I was good at. Now I'm in this new arena. Hey, you're a 7 foot guy that gets measured by how well you can do body weight exercises. I was the most self defeating athlete ever. I'm built great for a basketball court, but this isn't super humbling, so I was humbled. And then it started this whole journey for me. I ended up free weekends. I was going to strengthen conditioning conferences. I was driving around the country. I was meeting with coaches. I was having them put together a very specific plans for me because you got to believe me. I made it to the NBA. I know what it takes to reform athletically, how you got to treat your body, how you got to eat. And sometimes when you hear someone's not doing well on a part of a PT test, you chalk it up to discipline. And I promise you, it wasn't when I was trying it. In any ways, it was this huge journey came out of something so small, something that people normally overlook or don't give to just push ups..

"You. I don't know. I think so. There's one in Georgia. Interesting. Court benning. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But with the AG Bullock, it was getting time to go. At this point, I was playing for the Los Angeles Clippers. And I was just on their pre season organization. I had made the final roster yet. We were playing preseason games in Hawaii. And now, general Robert Brown at this point, he's the pecom commander, and he's out in Hawaii. Oh my God, he just like, you know, it's crazy how this worked out. Keep going. Sorry. He's coming to watch our games. He helped organize something for the clippers. We got to go and visit Pearl Harbor. And again, I'd cite that as an example of, hey, I feel like my military connection adding value to the team and the team appreciated that. But he comes in and he wants to play for the clippers and I don't do great. I'm not playing great. I end up getting cut from the roster and I'm really giving this basketball thing my all. I have a surgery coming up on a knee that's not doing super hot. And he didn't force me. He didn't pressure me in any way, but he was a positive influence on me throughout. And I'm getting to see the kind of work he's doing in Hawaii. And the legacy he's having. And I promise he wasn't taking digs at how I was playing poorly or anything. But the timing was kind of perfect. Hey, I wasn't doing super hot. Basketball thing was kind of trailing off and I got to look at the impacts he was making and the legacy he was leaving. I thought, man, that's pretty awesome. And it just looked more awesome to me. Through that lens than anything I had seen before. So yes, I started to feel that it's more to want to go to active duty. Really push through some of the knee stuff. I push through going down to the G league, the minor league of the NBA. And I managed to get called up one more time. I got called up to the Milwaukee Bucks to help them a little bit. A lot of fun really enjoyed the experience at the end of it though. Hey, Marshall, you need knee surgery. You can't go on anymore. Also, we need you to go to Bullock. And between those two and kind of taking a look in the mirror and I feel like I've done what I've wanted to do in the basketball world. I'm really proud. I probably won't end up being an all star anytime soon. But I don't want to regret giving this army thing a real shot. That's what convinced me to one I called coach K, and I call general Brown. We had a conversation and I made the decision to switch to active duty and switch branches. I switched from AG to infantry. So you still talk to coach Kay. As a mentor called him back up and just said, hey, that's really interesting. I mean, for that longer way that one, you would look at him as being a powerful influence in that way in your life and we're talking a number of years later. But two how much obviously I don't know from his perspective. That's a sign of a true leader. Yes. It shocks me. With all the former players coach K has, not only former players, but some that have gone on to do amazing things. In the basketball world, that he makes time for the Marshall plumlee. I don't know how you have time in the day. I'm sure he's probably talking to Kyrie Irving or Zion Williamson hill still. He'll take.

"Wasn't slacking off. I really appreciate you saying that. And I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of how it played out for me. And teammates, not so much teammates thought it was awesome. We support each other, but it's more it's a tough sell to the front office, some of the administration who has to build the team and run the organization. They do want to make sure people are focused. It's a PR thing too for them, right? Or was it? Yes, and yes and no, I didn't deal with that too much. I felt like they supported me holistically, whether I was in the National Guard or not. But to Jason's point, I think, on paper, you see, okay, we're getting ready to take on this player who isn't a super great player already. I wasn't. I wasn't a great player. And he's also doing this thing on the side with the military. Are we taking on some liability? Someone who's not focused. And on paper, it might seem a little awkward, but then when they actually got to work with me and then when you get it put in those reps daily and they see if I'm getting to the gym before everybody else or if I'm staying later, hey, clearly this isn't impacting him. It's something that makes him better. And it's a part of my personality that was kind of tough to hide. I think they saw how it enhanced me. It wasn't a distraction or held me back. And that's why I'd encourage a lot of people to take a look at the national garden reserve, even if you have a civilian path you're passionate about. Because it can enhance what you're doing and some guys will say, oh, I don't have the time. And we'd like to use myself as an example. Hey, I was able to play in the NBA and do the National Guard. I think you guys might have more time than you think. And it would manifest itself in different ways. I think Carmelo Anthony always called me Captain America, was his nickname for me. But yeah, a little fun stuff like that. Yeah, so around this time from what you're talking here. So I'll try not to scrub the timeline here. I signed with the New York Knicks in the summer of 2016. I ended up commissioning with the into the New York army National Guard and I think it was spring or early summer of 2017. Okay, so not necessarily still a little bit of the wind down or whatever this kind of occurring, but your unit ever deploy or were you ever concerned? Or are they concerned about that? No. No. I would say between delaying my commissioning a year. Already, I didn't get a ton of time up front with New York National Guard. And then when I did commission, it was just, it was a learning experience. And they tried to plug me in where I could be the most effective and a lot of times I was visiting high schools talking to kids about the opportunities in New York National Guard. I would go to different boroughs within New York City, and it was just, it was a great learning experience. Partly due to my branch, partly due to basketball, sometimes due to off season surgery I was having. I wasn't doing a ton with my hands and my body. But I was learning a lot, and I tried to put my best foot forward and every time I got to represent the New York National Guard. Were you ever getting the itch to go active duty though? Yeah, absolutely. I'm really glad the way the conversation has gone this far. All the context is already said I can explain it better now. I like how our conversation is kind of played out. So I can tell you that now I had commissioned and I delayed my commission a year, but there's something you can't delay for too long. And you've got to go to your Bullock. You've got to be stamped as, hey, Marshall, you are an AG officer. And it was getting time for me to the army had been really working with me, but hey, Marshall, we really need you to go to your Bullock now. Part of the reason I'd picked AG initially was one.

"Sorry, military draft. NBA. I must have missed that year. Forgive me. NBA draft. Yeah. In my mind, I had it a bunch of things had to go just right for me to pursue the NBA to the fullest and for me to pursue the military the way I wanted to pursue it. One week left or right here or there, and it wasn't going to work. And that first year I dealt with some of the blowback of that. I envisioned myself coming in as an established NBA player where I could set my terms a little bit, so to speak. Actually, I had to claw my way into the NBA as an undrafted free agent. I was in there by my fingernails. My first year in the NBA I actually had to delay delay my commissioning one year, which is something I've seen there's precedence that I've seen cadets do that, whether they're finishing school or they have an extreme job situation or some kind of opportunity for me, it happened to be the NBA. So I delayed a year at that point. I was a little bit more established. I was playing for the New York Knicks. And then I decided to sign up with the New York army National Guard. It was the most natural selection. Yeah. How was it trying to balance your professional career and even steal the requirements of being an officer in what were your branch? So initially I was an AG officer. A lot of work in human resources and all level with you. I ended up using basketball more as a platform to try to reach out to different communities within New York and try to help with the recruiting and the retention effort. And ultimately, it was a lot of learning for me. I had some great mentors in the New York army National Guard that again, much like duke, much like general Brown, much like my ROTC professors. They appreciated what I was trying to do when they wanted to help me do that. And they knew it wasn't going to be conventional. Hey, it's standard one weekend a month. Two weeks out of the summer for the National Guard in terms of your service. They'd move quite a few of those weekends that are once a month during the season to the off season. I might spend more time in the off season. The National Guard is a great opportunity. I was really appreciative of them being willing to work with work with me. But ultimately, when I was there, I wish I could say I was a big contributor, but I was a big learner. And I'm lucky that I had a bunch of great teachers in the New York National Guard to help me out. How did your teammates react to that? In terms of sound like, you were almost reversed. You were using your MBA for an opportunity to help the National Guard rather than plumbing. This is your day job over here. This is where you're supposed to be putting butter. Yeah, this is supposed to be putting all your energy and effort is around this team. I'm not going to answer the question for you, because I wasn't there. But I feel like after knowing him and working with him, you know, it would have been a hard one for him to handle, but his work ethic is unmatched. I would say that my guess would be that he put for such effort that it was maybe noticed that he was there sometimes, but.

The reason behind the family minivans, we did take out the middle seat to the young age so that me and my two brothers would get stretch our legs in the back. Sister would ride on the floor.

We're going to have to get a photo of that. We're definitely getting a photo. So the whole story of how many people can you fit in a Volkswagen? I'm wanting to see how Marshall plumlee by himself fits in a mini Cooper. Oh, yeah. No, it works. I think mini coopers like performance fit everything. I was at the dealership. He's like, if I could say one thing about him, they're going to exceed your expectations a little bit. Yeah. I got inside of it. I'm like, I fit in this better than the Jeep dealership next door. I was going to get a Jeep. Yeah. I'll take the mini. So anyway, you drove your minivan down to fort benning and yeah, what happened then? Yeah, so gosh, I think if I remember it correctly, general Brown helped me, I put on a basketball camp for some of the military families here. He got me my first pair of military boots. I won't forget that. And that is a tall order because to find a size 17 military boot. I think we were talking a little before the podcast. It's not easy.

"Medical Center, She says they require more time and attention than anyone in the ICU. These patients take so long recover. They're eating up our hospital beds because they come in and they stay. It's not that there aren't enough at more machines to go around. It's that there are so few hospitals that even offer ECMO, which is a high risk intervention. We are flowing a lot of blood. Through those machines. There is no room forever. Dr. Harsh sheet row overseas critical care for envision which staffs ICUs with physicians, He says You wouldn't want people without experience trying it out. Before Covid transferring a patient to the nearest major medical center for ECMO wasn't a big deal. But now the ICUs are full. We have to make tough choices, so that's really what it comes down to is How sick are you and what's the availability? This wasn't as much of a problem earlier in the pandemic when most of those dying or older ECMO is rarely used for people over 65. The calculation is different for the younger people who make up this wave of largely unvaccinated covid patients. Dr. Mani Denish Monde is with Emory University Hospital When you have a 30 year old or a 40 year old or someone who's just become apparent you're gonna call. We've gotten calls for 18 year olds down, Ashman says. Even as big as Emery is The Atlanta hospital is turning down covid transfers every day. There's a lot of people who are very young, who are needing a lot of support, and a lot of them are dying like the wife of Toby Plumlee in North Alabama. She just turned 40 years older Friday before she died. As soon as his wife was put on a ventilator. In August, Plumlee started pressing her doctors about ECMO. They looked 500 miles around. But the more you research, the more you start to see just how much of the shortage it really is. And you get to the point. I mean, the only thing You can do is just play for your loved one. Plumley says his wife made it to sixth in line at the hospital hundreds of miles away. It happened to be the same medical center where pull Yang at the start of this.

"Much of a stink with miles turner and sa- bonus and malcolm brogdon and certainly kind of one of the more guy in the league. Just kind of seems like is a great head on his shoulders like. I don't think that rick is gonna find much trouble with them as currently constructed. So i i tend to be more glass half full with the pacers with rick. Carlisle running it and with all those guys coming back. Presumably maybe not that are dealing with more chronic stuff or develop more injuries than soviet. But you know i i would put them ahead of the other teams that have got in that. I'm not sure list. Which like. I said i've got three of them but i put them at number nine for me And had a couple of teams underneath that that was also kinda unsure about okay. So give us your eleven okay. So my eleven was charlotte. I've got the hornets right there. I actually kinda liked their off season. I didn't think they needed a whole whole lot. I think really if you're charlotte. What you need to be focused on. It's just having lamelo healthy. Then getting gordon hayward back which. I think that really took a massive wind out of their sales when he got hurt. I don't know that anyone realized how much it would hurt them. Actually maybe we did. Because i'm trying to remember the chronology of win lamelo got hurt. And then i think he got hurt after that so they were without both of those guys for a stretch. If i remember correctly but no i mean it's a really look up and down there ostra. They're easily one of the most athletic teams in the league. Right now I can't even remember the dude's name. Whoever they drafted though that crazy ass dunk that he had in the summer league. Game yesterday There's just a team. That has a lot of scary athleticism. they got oubre. A smith is one of my favorite players in the league to watch and they just got mason plumlee for not very much to think actually had a really nice season with detroit Again i think people kind of right folks off when they get signed a contract. That looks like it's too big for what they what people perceive perceived there could be deserving of but had a really nice with him. I think he had a triple double in game but is a perfectly fine big backup big sort of player for them so i kind of like what they've done I don't expect that much of them. But they could also overachieved just given that again. They'll have hayward back and i think lamelo will probably take a little bit more of a step than he did because he'll be back in the in the mix and able to play so i like charlotte. I don't know if i like them enough to say that. I think that they'll make the playoffs but they were pretty close to that conversation this year and again not fully healthy when they did that so i like them. So yeah i have charlotte at nine and it's right around in that same that same tier I think one of the reasons. Why a little down on charlotte and i didn't have them even higher because i loved watching them last year. One of my favorite teams Yeah they were so good and crunch time like abnormally. So that i feel like we're going to get some regression there but again. I don't know what matters from last season going forward. It's really hard to factor any seven The reason why. I have them in nine is i think lamelo is just. I mean he's a star and i would not be shocked if he made some kind of leap this season and just he's one of those players who is not only going to get his own numbers but he makes everybody around him better so if they have health..
