About this episode

Welcome to another episode of The Young Man and The Three podcast. Our guest this week is Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder. We get into so much this episode but first we open with Trey Murphy III, Tommy Alter and Jason Gallagher giving a shoutout to JJ Redick, Kylee Kilgore and everyone suffering from the fires in Los Angeles. We also discuss a few players who are having underrated seasons like Tyler Herro, Norman Powell and Andrew Nembhard. Then we welcome in Jalen Williams and kick things off about his love of films including Interstellar and Like Mike. Then we talk about his high school and college experience and what his draft night was like. We also get into the chemistry from the OKC Thunder this season, what they learned from losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs last season and how they stay motivated this season. We also get Dub's take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander aka SGA and his competitiveness, Alex Caruso's leadership and what Isaiah Hartenstein brings to the team this year. Finally, Jalen proposes a few changes to awards including the All-Defense teams and Defensive Player of the Year. Plus so much more.


Also we have a bonus episode coming to you later this week with members of the Memphis Grizzlies! So subscribe and stay tuned.
