On today's episode we got to interview NBA player and Minnesota Legend, Tyus Jones about his basketball journey on and off the court. Something that stuck out to me about Tyus, is even with all the accolades and accomplishments he received through the game of basketball the thing he is most proud of doing was becoming a father to his son baby Tyus Jr, and how it has changed him for the better. We discussed everything, how Tyus has stayed grounded and humble through it all. Why his mantra "Write you own story" still resonates with him so strongly, where he got it from, and how he turned it into giving back to the community. And why giving back is so important. From growing up in a basketball family, his relationship with Coach K, that UNC/Duke rivalry, drilling that dramatic deep three in the natty champ, how hard it was to leave Duke, draft night, how KG and Jimmy Buckets are the best teammates he has ever had. And how the Minnesota Timberwolves had all the talent to do something special when Jimmy Butler was in town and why they couldn't put it together. Tyus also discusses what really happened during that infamous practice where Jimmy Butler destroyed the starters and didn't even score a bucket. And candidly about Grayson Allen tripping opponents.
