yo wassup New York I'm here with Yeynotgaming.
we're at rpm Raceway we're about to go go-karting with the squad
Goofy gonna win. I think I'm gonna win.
everybody's SAYING they're coming in first and I'm like I'm from New Jersey
i know how to drive there from all over the country
they don't even know what driving is like
I got the 6, you know my favorite number it's in Gigi now man it's over.
I gotta lock in leave me alone.
I overlapped everybody except Idris. the rest of them cannot drive they not ready.
I know what I'm doing now I got it. I was going too fast around the turns I got it now though.
nobody overlapping me I promise you that. Mark said nobody overlapping him.
Right here. I'm right here. C'mon, man.
he overlap me how? you and me were together the entire time.
What was his time at? Cooda wasn't even in the race. Bro I had the best lap. No You didn't. Yes I did.
Last course I feel kind of cheated because my second lap didn't count so I'm starting in the last
place here but I'm starting last I'm gonna the in first watch.
Get set, go!
number one baby come on come on baby. It felt great. Feels good to be number one for once.
I would like to see cooda a little bit further than that last one so we could
have some way here's a little bit too slow. they're all lying about like how
they raced. now I'm like mad it wasn't it wasn't the best.
this was an excellent bonding experience for me and my teammates. It brought us closer,
Knicks Gaming!
what I do with my first Knicks gaming paycheck was pay my rent.
The first thing I do with my Knicks gaming paycheck I bought three pair of shoes.
I bought a pair of sneakers for my daughter
and I bought a pair sneakers for myself. the first thing I got to do with
paycheck was put it all in the bank.
I paid off some bills paid my car bill
When I received my Knicks gaming paycheck first thing I did was leave it in the account
that it was put in haven't touched it I don't plan on touching it.
favorite food i had since I've been here probably obviously the pizza here.
it's tough. my favorite food in New York City is definitely Italian I think East
Coast does the best. I enjoy a good slice from New York suprema so it's like right
across the street from the garden. my favorite food since I've been in New
York has to be the pizza. I don't I don't have one. favorite restaurant here in
New York City to me and it's only because I've gone there so many times so
that's what I find the best is Applebee's everybody has their
own little taste but I haven't gone anywhere
very fancy enough yet to know what's out there but I've gone to different places
like bbq's Applebee's I have but I'd say Applebee's, IHOP, bur Applebee's hands-down number one for me.
the best thing I can cook is breakfast eggs bacon and waffles. I'm kind of new
in the whole cooking game so I don't have too much experience but I would say
so far I can cook like a good steak and potato and you know like some green
beans or something thing. the best thing I could cook is macaroni and cheese.
didn't really mean with the chicken breasts and like having like side of
like rice potatoes or like mac and cheese. I can lay down a mean egg.
I cook a pretty good plate of pasta with sometimes homemade sauce shout out to my dad
he makes the best homemade sauce and then a nice side of salad and some chicken.
Today behind the scenes, the way they are playing. The coaches the players.
all of it, the whole industry of E-Sports.
they're showing the whole thing at e sports.
I took it sort of serious and then once they introduce the league that's when I
knew I was gonna play every single day a lot to get better as I can these guys
when the 2k league came around people was like bro you need to play you need
to try out for that. they can kind of kind of get some insight from us
know how we grew up in and what what journey we took to get here.
it's pretty cool to to just show them the ropes of how to be a gamer and get them a tune in
to our lifestyle. I just want to know your family and friends reacted when
you told them that you were going to play video games professionally?
my friends always knew I was gonna do something with 2k pro wise
everybody always supported me but they didn't really believe that it was like a
thing. almost like six or seven years my family kind of just got accustomed to
you can make money through video games so when this league was announced as
like the NBA's fourth branch to kind of just legitimize it even more.
I think it finally gives them a vision a visual what it can really become the e-Sports of
gaming and what the kids can really get through and just one day they can
actually become this. parents need to make sure school always first will ease
up often if they want to play games because they could make a great career off it.
Out of you guys, who do you think is the best?
Everybody is the best at something.
It's not a overall somebody's the best.
square space hooked us up with our own controllers. I talked to a couple pros about this oh I wish I had this when I
was a kid just the opportunity of getting something like this an
educational setting where they're learning and what rather than just
playing just hopefully take the anti out of anti-social and gaming and really
getting them to come together and play. having them be like an e-sports program
is something all of us never had growing up so it's really cool to have these
kids come in and really got to get to learn how how we work every day.
when i was a kid I used to look at other people and they're like kept me out of
trouble it motivated me so for us to be able to get these kids like motivation
and opportunity to do something they love this is great
video games are like a viable option now you can actually make a living playing
video games you can have a career video games whether it be playing whether it
be the business side of it the marketing side of anything like that. you look at
these kids now it's like I feel like they're all better than we are to be
honest and and once they get to our age they're gonna just kick us out of the
industry honestly.
after a winning tournament and then losing to the Pistons, with the Pistons
game that I think it's kind of a wake up call for us it's because we know that
these teams are trying to earn their spot in the playoffs so they're gonna
come with a hundred percent every single game and we got to take that in mind.
I think what's most important though is that after a losing game like that you
don't take it too much harder because you know you're in the playoffs and you
know we pretty much understand where our seeding is gonna be who we're gonna play
in the first round. obviously we want to clean up you know mistakes that we made
but in the long run we know that it's a meaningless game in terms of you know we
were gonna be the eighth seed pretty much no matter what. there's a recipe
there's a reason that we won that tournament and we put a lot of time into
everything a lot of energy everyone was really focused so now that we see that
hey like we relax a little bit it didn't work and that's what happened we lost
the game that was very winnable because we just didn't come quite prepared enough.
look they wanna win some games they know if they go in cold and
have to play b5 in the first round that would not be optimal.
we've seen him grow as a player and he's more willing to kick out and that's been
big for us has been big for our shooters got a few threes up. maybe the best
offensive rebounder in the league. there's some games and some points in
games where we need him to do what got him into this league and that's you know
rebounding being able to score inside.
my team, they wanted me to go in there and
be aggressive because I've been passive lately you know I've been trying
to you know get my teammates more involved instead of being more about myself.
it's ridiculous now the first we were talking to Cal Rudy he said look
who's the best shooter in the league right now? he really is I really do mean
it he's the best shooter in the league right now he's literally changing the
way people are like thinking about the point guard position right now almost
like you would see like Steph Curry in the NBA.
my favorite player Steph Curry he's kind of reinvented the point guard position
position really in real life he's sort of revolutionized it so I'm hoping to
kind of do the same thing and just no one have that supporting that confidence
for my teammates and for my coats is great for me and then moving forward
hopefully I can just keep that momentum
20 points in the half he's ten for ten yet to miss a shot.
I told cooda they don't have any pick and roll defense and he has no paint defense at all in general
so just throw me the ball and let me work. with the Bucks kind of respecting
me more and respecting my three-point shot it meant that the paint was gonna
be open and soon as he rolled and soon as I saw that he had just an inch of
space ahead of his defender as soon as I saw that he had the step I made sure I
just gave him the ball as quick as possible. Adam to goofy lost the heat at the care.
If goofy gets a one-on-one
in the paint he's gonna score nine times out of ten I mean this game
it seemed like ten times out of ten. I think there was just a point in the game
where even when teams were throwing doubles at him he was still scoring
every single time he just could not be stopped. they feed them again.
Me and him have been such a good duo they don't they honestly don't know what to do because you know I set
good screens for cooda and cooda also knows how to get himself open off the screen so you
know me and we just got that chemistry down pat. Pickled up by Nate. that could be the dagger.
85-74. the game was just in my favor and you know I was just I was just filling it.
I was hot you know I let the game come to me and I
just did what I had to do. they go to him again
Double teamed it doesn't matter 40 for goofy. 90-81 Knicks with a victory here over Milwaukee.
falling to the Pistons really kind of it refocused us a little bit and
I think we saw the results of that. it was a good momentum for is leading them
to the playoff so each W we can get is great for our momentum.
