What's up everyone?

Welcome to Episode 30 of Slow Nose, which feels insane to be saying out loud.

And today we have a very exciting guest, Danny, thank you so much for coming on.

Thanks for having me. Of course. It's an honor. It's a true pleasure. Thank you. So I'm 17.

And I know you're not 17 anymore, but you once were Danny, believe it or not. So I want to hear

about you as a 17 year old. What was your game like? I'll tell you, I wasn't as informed as you kids are today.

Like, I was not that smart. To be able to run a podcast is impressive. Thank you. My game, I would say I was

good at a lot of things, but not great at anything. And that was my kind of thing throughout most of my

life. I was a late bloomer where I didn't get recruited highly until my

senior year. Like I could pass the ball pretty well. I could rebound well. I could block shots.

I could play defense. I could shoot decently. Back then, I could handle the ball decently. Now,

I haven't dribbled. I don't dribble. As a pro, I didn't dribble much at all, but I could do a little bit of everything pretty well, but it wasn't great at anything. It wasn't until I got to, even after

college, it wasn't until I got to the pros where I kind of honed in on one specific thing and tried to

like be great at it. And I started getting better at shooting and in deep, I focus on certain things. But when I was younger, my game was do a little bit everything.

I played pretty much all five positions.

So as a late bloomer, when did it hit you?

Like, wait, I think I can make it to the lead.

It was always a goal.

I never thought it was achievable.

It kind of came and gone multiple times throughout my life.

So 17, no, I think when I got

McDonald's, I got selected to be a McDonald's game. I was like, okay, I might have a chance.
