This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Welcome to Point Game.

I'm C.J. Teledana and will of course be joined by my co-host, Isaiah Thomas. Now,

this is a special episode with some best of moments. So without further ado, let's go to me and IT.

One more thing, because this is out of curiosity when I was just doing a little bit of research,

you know, when we were starting this, this podcast with you, obviously I knew the one nickname you

had, King of the Fourth Quarter, which is, one nickname you had, King of the fourth quarter,

which is, you know, you went off in the fourth quarter. It was like, no lead was safe with you guys,

or playing against you guys. But this one I saw, Pizza Guy. Can you please give some context as to

why people called you Pizza Guy? Look, the pizza guy came from, I had a good, I had a nice little, one of my first

endorsement deals was with a pizza company called Pizza Guys back in Sacramento.

And it was my first three years in the league.

So we did commercials.

It was commercials every, like, every break in the game, especially local games,

they played my commercials. So it got so big in terms of being the pizza guy. Anytime I'm in like

even like Golden State, if I'm, if we got home games in Sacramento, there's literally

signs in the in the crowd like saying the lines I said throughout the commercial. What kind of guys, Isaiah Thomas? He's quick, fiery, and determined. And I'm a pizza guy. That's why I'm loving the fresh with scratch pizza at pizza guy. Are you a pizza guy? Then get the pizza guys. And the funny thing about it is, I would go, I would be in the warm-up line You know, you're in the warm-up line. And guys are like, you go to half-court, you chop it up with somebody on the other team because that's your friend or something around them that way. Every player would be like, I'm a pizza guy. Get the pizza guys. Because was one of my little, that was one of my little lines. And anytime you watch a Sacramento game, I promise you,

throughout the game, it probably came on 30 times at least throughout all the commercials. So

anybody who watched Sacramento games, it was really a nickname that I was given through an

endorsement I had. So even when I go back to Sack now, it's like somebody's going to yell out the pizza guy for sure. I'm not, I promise you right now, I'm not going to call you Pizza Guy at all this. It's funny. And if you do, it's all good. I get it. Yeah, yeah. I would say Sacramento, if anyone in that organization is watching this, we need to bring back those commercials.

Oh, they need to. They need to. Anytime I go to SAC, I call up pizza guys, I get a little free pizza holiday. I'm a lifetime pizza guy, bro.
