Summary

Introducing the newest member of the YM3 family, Jarrett Allen of the Cleveland Cavaliers. In this episode, we start by talking to Jarrett about how it felt to play JJ Redick and the Los Angeles Lakers and his love of reading and how he just finished The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Then we get into the Cleveland Cavaliers hot start to the season and how he's feeling about teammates Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. We also talk about his "Lights were brighter than we thought" meme, his growth as a player, defending Nikola Jokic and what it's like being a modern big man in the NBA. Finally we dive into his love of building things like electric skateboards and keyboards.
