Welcome to All the Smoke, a production of the Black Effect and our hard radio in partnership with Showtime.

Welcome back All the Smoke, 2022 we end building with some new merch. I know y'all see it.

I'll never even see it. You see it.

We want to welcome to the show one of the bright young talents in the WNBA.

And I'm going to do this in two parts. Sabrina and then I'm going to let you announce your own last name because I think it's the most mispronounced name in sports.

You're not school. You're not school. You're not school. You're not school. You're not school. You're not school.

Yeah, stop fucking it up. Yes, please. That's why I didn't want to because I wasn't sure. I was like let me just tell half her tell the world what it really is so we can we can get off to a good start.

I'm just going to call you brain. That's fine. All right cool.

So Barry, a girl wanted Creek to be exact shout out the Bay. Tell us about your upbringing. I know you really close net family. Talk to us about what life and want to Creek was like.

Yeah, born and raised love the Bay rip, you know, the Warriors always went to the games.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know grew up with two brothers immigrant family. They all immigrated here. So it was a grind like growing up.

You know, where Romania, Romania from Romania. Yeah, I came from Europe and drop us off at the park half the time. We'd play for 10 hours a day and then go to school and yeah, so it's been great.

I love the Bay. I always go back and yeah, you're a twin. I got twins. I got my identical 13 year old boys, but you're a twin brother.

What's that dynamic like? Because I remember the twins like having their own little language when they were little. They couldn't even speak it, but we'd have them on the baby monitors. They'd be going back and forth.

Like, yeah, what the hell are they talking about? Did you guys have any kind of special twin stuff?

Absolutely. I mean, he said that was his first word. My first word was his name. His first word was my name, but honestly, it's a whole different world. Like people really don't get how close twins actually are.

And we do absolutely everything together. I probably wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him because we got in fist fights. We punch each other, be each other's asses on the core. Like did absolutely everything.

So he's really pushed me to become, you know, what I am today and honestly still does love it. How did you find the game of basketball? Like a what age? I know you said they dropped you off, but when did you fall in love with the game?

I was probably in like third or fourth grade and I was between tennis and basketball and tennis. You need a partner and my brothers would just like want to hoop. So I ended up being like, all right, I can't.

I'm not hitting against, you know, the wall to myself. So I got bored and I was like, all right, I'll go hoop then too.

So from that age, like third, fourth grade, the men were there at lunchtime and I was like, all right, I want to play two then. Let's go. And so ever since then, I fell in love with the game and haven't been able to put the ball down.

You had it better than your brother or when did you pass them?
