I will post all live quotes and observations in the comments. Friendly reminder that I can only type so fast, I usually am on IG Live for two minutes so it’s not perfect, and the ellipses can be one word to a bunch of words, so check our YouTube channel later for the full context.
Don’t forget, you might have to order the comments by Chronological, plus hit the LOAD MORE button at the bottom.
Any content that I feel is more deserving for our subscribers, such as let’s say overflow Stephen Curry quotes, I’ll start a subscription-only version of this…
First up is Bob Myers at 10:30 PDT then Steve Kerr, then we’ll see (hasn’t been announced yet).
Here’s the pending schedule of Q&As, subject to change:
Frustrating if have to make a decision, back is against the wall: “Back is definitely against the wall but just gonna kee fighting for what I believe…who knows, I’m gonna keep fighting for what I believe…is right.”
Wiggins: “(jokes that a flu shot band aid is for a tattoo lol)…he kinda took me under his wing…he’s a grown man…I’m gonna like whatever decision that he makes…”
Steph and Klay not missing: “it’s the art tbh. You just kinda see the laser focus…mental discipline…but that’s also God-given talent. That’s something you can’t take for granted…I try to take as many notes as I possibly can…”
Steph and Klay intimidating? “Some of that I saw in Vegas…looks like it’s a video game…also Draymond…everything is open…everyone is focused to guard Steph…for me, great opportunity.”
Playing the 5: “…they play fast, they play simple. I know I’m a stretch four in the NBA…ten years ago I was point guard, now I can play stretch five. As long as I’m on th society I can help teams win…”
When GSW contacted: “took less than a minute…Steph and Klay definitely changed basketball…one of the best teams in the league and I’m happy to be here.”
Why not explain what you believe: “because it’s none of your business. I don’t ask you what you believe…some people shed their beliefs on their children…who are you guys out there…what you think is what you think…”

You vs Steph: “great fit for me. Just to be around these guys.”
Steph and Klay intimidating? “Some of that I saw in Vegas…looks like it’s a video game…also Draymond…everything is open…everyone is focused to guard Steph…for me, great opportunity.”

END OF WIGGINS. BJELICA NEXT!
NBPA? “I have but I’m gonna keep all that other stuff private.”
Doctors? “Comes from everybody. Everybody has something to say.”
You stand to lose a lot of money: “and that’s my problem not yours”
Trying to give you a voice: “I’ll say something when I’m ready. The only trying media has done is kinda make it bigger than it has to be…”
Why not explain what you believe: “because it’s none of your business. I don’t ask you what you believe…some people shed their beliefs on their children…who are you guys out there…what you think is what you think…”
