00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,720
But it’s emotionally draining.

175
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:56,888
But there are subtleties
to rage.

176
00:09:56,930 --> 00:10:01,268
There’s a difference
between anger and hostility.

177
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:06,231
Anger as a release can be okay.

178
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:08,817
It’s like laughter
can be a release.

179
00:10:08,859 --> 00:10:10,610
Sleep can be a release.

180
00:10:10,652 --> 00:10:14,906
Hostility, on the other hand,
is the desire for revenge

181
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:18,243
or desire to get even.

182
00:10:18,285 --> 00:10:23,332
That is a dangerous emotion,
but anger is okay

183
00:10:23,373 --> 00:10:26,001
as long as you don’t
carry it with you.

184
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:32,841
I know you’re a basketball
player, so you know

185
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:35,886
that there are moments
when you’re playing

186
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:39,598
where you lose
all sense of self.

187
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:41,350
- Have you experienced that?
- Absolutely.

188
00:10:41,391 --> 00:10:42,642
Let’s go!

189
00:10:44,686 --> 00:10:47,397
Have you experienced
you lose all sense of time?

190
00:10:47,439 --> 00:10:48,440
Absolutely.

191
00:10:52,694 --> 00:10:55,572
Do you move in anticipation
without thinking?

192
00:10:55,614 --> 00:10:58,492
There’s no resistance,
there’s no anticipation,

193
00:10:58,533 --> 00:11:00,243
there’s no memory.

194
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:09,294
This is the secret:
inner stillness

195
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:13,423
and outer dynamic activity
at the same time.

196
00:11:13,465 --> 00:11:17,135
This is what the great spiritual
traditions call flow.

197
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:26,520
You’ve heard the expression
to be "in the zone," right?

198
00:11:26,561 --> 00:11:27,979
Absolutely.

199
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:32,067
So that word, to be in
the zone comes from

200
00:11:32,109 --> 00:11:34,277
to be zen-like.

201
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:37,781
And zen is actually a derivative

202
00:11:37,823 --> 00:11:41,618
of another word called "chan",
which means meditation.

203
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:46,748
So meditation is not
how to change your mind.

204
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:50,085
But meditation is to go
beyond the mind to that place

205
00:11:50,127 --> 00:11:52,045
of stillness where
it doesn’t matter

206
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:53,797
what’s happening around you.

207
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:56,925
Chaos. Confusion.

208
00:11:56,967 --> 00:11:58,510
The crowd is screaming.

209
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:03,348
But you’re totally independent
of that, you’re right there

210
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:05,225
in the moment and flow.

211
00:12:07,936 --> 00:12:11,481
So I think we should do
a little practice together.

212
00:12:11,523 --> 00:12:12,858
I’d love to.

213
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:25,078
[Deepak] Meditation ultimately
is a way to get

214
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,914
to the source of thought.

215
00:12:27,956 --> 00:12:31,209
Go beyond the secret passages,

216
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:34,963
the dark alleys and
the ghost filled attics

217
00:12:35,005 --> 00:12:36,965
of the conditioned mind.

218
00:12:37,007 --> 00:12:39,134
So, Draymond, this is good.

219
00:12:39,176 --> 00:12:42,721
Keep your feet firmly
planted on the ground.

220
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:44,723
Hands open.

221
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:47,559
Okay, so let’s close the eyes.

222
00:12:47,601 --> 00:12:52,022
We’ll start with
just observing the breath.

223
00:12:52,063 --> 00:12:55,525
You don’t have to do anything,
just be aware of the sensation.

224
00:12:59,154 --> 00:13:01,198
Let go and flow.

225
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:07,829
Now, bring your awareness
to your heart

226
00:13:07,871 --> 00:13:10,790
in the middle of your chest.

227
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:14,211
And without moving your
lips or your tongue

228
00:13:14,252 --> 00:13:18,965
mentally ask
the following questions.

229
00:13:19,007 --> 00:13:20,217
Who am I?

230
00:13:27,098 --> 00:13:29,684
[Deepak] Second question.

231
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,102
What do I want?

232
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:39,277
Third question.

233
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,530
What is my calling,
what is my purpose?

234
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:49,871
Last and final question, which
will open the door to abundance.

235
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:52,540
What am I grateful for?

236
00:13:56,419 --> 00:13:58,255
Now let it all go

237
00:13:58,296 --> 00:14:01,132
and mentally repeat
your full name to yourself.

238
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,010
I’m Draymond...

239
00:14:04,052 --> 00:14:06,555
[Announcer] Draymond Green!

240
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:16,356
Presence, awareness, being.

241
00:14:18,441 --> 00:14:19,359
That’s who we are.

242
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:25,949
Before we come out,

243
00:14:25,991 --> 00:14:27,867
feel your body
from the inside out

244
00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:31,538
and we are going to plant
some intentions in the body.

245
00:14:33,081 --> 00:14:34,457
Now bring your awareness

246
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:36,459
into your heart
in the middle of your chest

247
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:38,878
and the intention:

248
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:44,009
loving, compassionate heart.

249
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:47,596
Loving, compassionate heart.

250
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,973
Now bring your awareness
into your third eye

251
00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:53,852
in the middle of your eyebrows.

252
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:56,938
Let your awareness now
expand outside

253
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:59,399
the boundaries of your skin,

254
00:14:59,441 --> 00:15:02,777
let your awareness
pervade all of space and time.

255
00:15:06,364 --> 00:15:08,575
Bring your awareness
back into your body.

256
00:15:11,494 --> 00:15:13,622
- How do you feel?
- Feel good.

257
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:15,248
You feel good?

258
00:15:19,085 --> 00:15:20,629
Relaxed, like...

259
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:23,548
Can you feel this presence
of your own self?

260
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:25,592
Yes.

261
00:15:25,634 --> 00:15:27,886
See, that’s who we are,
the presence.

262
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:30,430
Everything else comes and goes.
The world comes and goes.

263
00:15:30,472 --> 00:15:33,433
The body changes.
The mind changes.

264
00:15:33,475 --> 00:15:35,435
Moods come and go.

265
00:15:35,477 --> 00:15:38,438
But that stillness inside.

266
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,651
So from now on, any time
you feel stressed,

267
00:15:42,692 --> 00:15:45,862
just do a hand gesture
like this.

268
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:48,490
And mentally say
the word, uh-hum.

269
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:50,700
- Uh-hum?
- Yeah, that’s it.

270
00:15:52,494 --> 00:15:54,120
[Draymond] Finding that balance,
I think,

271
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:57,749
has always been a challenge
for me in life.

272
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:03,004
And I actually felt like,
just like there in that moment

273
00:16:03,046 --> 00:16:07,258
with no worry of anything
else going on around,

274
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:09,719
just grounded in that moment.

275
00:16:09,761 --> 00:16:12,222
And I think that’s not
something that I can say

276
00:16:12,263 --> 00:16:13,598
I’ve always felt.

Basketball has been a huge part
of my life since I can remember.

279
00:16:24,859 --> 00:16:27,028
I come from a basketball family.

280
00:16:27,070 --> 00:16:30,281
We play basketball.
We watch basketball.

281
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:32,909
It’s a part of who I am.

00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:34,786
He grew up in one
of the tougher cities

283
00:16:34,828 --> 00:16:39,499
in our state, and
it wasn’t easy growing up.

284
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,668
[Draymond]
You grew up in Saginaw,

285
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:45,130
returning home every
day is a task.

286
00:16:45,171 --> 00:16:48,633
I know so many guys that never
return home whether that was...

287
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:51,344
they didn’t return home
because they went to prison.

288
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:55,515
They didn’t return home
because of death.

289
00:16:57,684 --> 00:17:02,063
And when you grow up that way,

290
00:17:02,105 --> 00:17:07,402
it builds a certain toughness,
a certain type of person.

291
00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:11,656
You never lose the experiences

292
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:16,661
that took place in Saginaw

the person that
you see here today.

295

But you do grow from that.

296
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:25,795
You do grow sometimes
away from that.

He wants to be the grungy,
blue collar guy.

And he doesn’t want to get soft

301

because success
sometimes makes you soft.

There are so many
particular experiences

309
00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:20,433
that athletes have over
the course of their lives

310
00:18:20,475 --> 00:18:22,435
that lead them to who they are.

311
00:18:22,477 --> 00:18:25,522
And I think it’s so
interesting because athletes

00:18:25,563 --> 00:18:28,399
as celebrated as they are,
as powerful as they are,

313
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:32,362
as successful as many are,

they are not really
given this space

That piece that you experienced

00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:58,054
is what in meditation
is called the gap.

324
00:18:58,096 --> 00:19:02,183
So it is really like
this sweet spot that exists

in-between one thought
and the next thought.

That is where the highest
potential of your life exists.

You are in command of
your power in each moment.

328
00:19:13,736 --> 00:19:15,780
You’re also in command of
your energy.

You’re not leaking
energy anywhere.

to necessarily affect my energy

or to cast their energy
upon mine,

336
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:40,555

you definitely take on...

problem your problem.

You’re definitely...

341

You know,
if their energy is bad,

you’re taking on some of that.

You may very well need
that guy to win.

347

You have to try to understand
how a guy’s feeling,

you have to try to understand
what makes this guy tick.

00:20:08,833 --> 00:20:10,793
You have to try to understand

350
00:20:10,835 --> 00:20:12,754
when that guy’s bothered
by something

351
00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:15,131
and doing all that,
that’s a lot of emotion.

352
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:18,676
There are times where
it completely just pushes me

353
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:21,220
to my boiling point
and I explode.

354
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:25,016
[Devi] Are you looked at
as the problem solver?

355
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:28,311
[Draymond] I am looked at
as the problem solver.

356
00:20:28,353 --> 00:20:31,481
However, I am also at times
looked at as the problem.

357
00:20:31,522 --> 00:20:33,942
And that’s kind of
the plot twist.

358
00:20:33,983 --> 00:20:36,527
[Announcer] Green, technical foul.
He’s gone.

359
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:38,571
Prior to basketball,

360
00:20:38,613 --> 00:20:40,782
when was the first time
that you noticed

361
00:20:40,823 --> 00:20:43,743
you had to be responsible
for other people’s emotions?

362
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:47,163
You know,
when I was growing up my mom,

363
00:20:47,205 --> 00:20:48,831
she would always say, when I get
in trouble in school,

364
00:20:48,873 --> 00:20:50,625
be a leader.

365
00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:53,795
Get kicked out of the
recreation center,

366
00:20:53,836 --> 00:20:55,838
be a leader.

367
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,257
What I grew to realize
is that I had some

368
00:20:58,299 --> 00:21:00,426
natural leadership qualities.

369
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:02,679
Definitely at a young age
like, really doesn’t

370
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,809
dawn on you that, like, you’re
shouldering more responsibility

371
00:21:07,850 --> 00:21:11,646
than you maybe even should be.

372
00:21:11,688 --> 00:21:14,482
In some of what I was hearing
around the leadership,

373
00:21:14,524 --> 00:21:16,359
it was actually
two things happening.

374
00:21:16,401 --> 00:21:19,696
I was hearing someone who
is a leader also reckoning

375
00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:22,031
with the responsibility
of leadership.

376
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:28,413
[Draymond] That session with Devi,
it was just extremely therapeutic.

377
00:21:31,374 --> 00:21:34,961
Deepak was a more
cerebral, and chill

378
00:21:35,003 --> 00:21:39,590
and like dissecting
the brain almost

379
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:44,762
whereas Devi was almost

380
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:47,140
dissecting the heart.

381
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,397
[Interviewer] Talk about just like a
little bit of where you are,

382
00:21:54,439 --> 00:21:57,275
I mean, like we’re saying,
had a pretty busy off-season.

383
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:59,777
I mean, it’s not been much
of an off season.

384
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:01,821
It hasn’t.

385
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:03,239
One month.

386
00:22:03,281 --> 00:22:04,699
[Interviewer] Til training camp.

387
00:22:04,741 --> 00:22:08,911
Training camp one month.
First game six weeks.

388
00:22:10,580 --> 00:22:12,415
It’s a big year for me.

389
00:22:12,457 --> 00:22:16,377
I want to be an All-Star again.

390
00:22:16,419 --> 00:22:18,838
I want to win defensive player
of the year again,

391
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,298
and obviously I want
to win a championship.

392
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:23,009
That goes without saying but...

393
00:22:23,051 --> 00:22:24,177
It’s a big year for me.

394
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,066
[Reporter] Draymond Green is not
here at Media Day today,

395
00:22:38,107 --> 00:22:40,026
and he might miss
the first

396
00:22:40,068 --> 00:22:42,987
one or two days of practice
training camp, which starts

397
00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:47,075
tomorrow for an excused
personal absence.

398
00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:49,786
This morning, around 5:00 a.m.,

399
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:53,247
I saw a text message
that said that he canceled

400
00:22:53,289 --> 00:22:57,126
and that we have not been able
to be in touch with him

401
00:22:57,168 --> 00:22:58,836
or have communication
with him.

402
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:01,631
Overarchingly,
I hope that he is okay

403
00:23:01,672 --> 00:23:03,424
and I hope that
everyone is okay.

404
00:23:03,466 --> 00:23:06,052
[Reporter] Bob said yesterday
that Draymond will probably

405
00:23:06,094 --> 00:23:08,221
be back in a few days.

406
00:23:08,262 --> 00:23:11,766
Do you have a better idea
of when he will be back?

407
00:23:11,808 --> 00:23:13,893
Like maybe tomorrow
or the day after?

408
00:23:13,935 --> 00:23:16,229
Do you have any more
clarity on that?

409
00:23:16,270 --> 00:23:17,188
I do not.

410
00:23:19,857 --> 00:23:21,776
♪♪

411
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:33,621
- Hello.
- Hi.

412
00:23:33,663 --> 00:23:35,414
How are you?

413
00:23:35,456 --> 00:23:36,916
Good. Welcome, welcome.

414
00:23:38,501 --> 00:23:39,544
Hmm.

415
00:23:40,711 --> 00:23:42,213
Happy to be back.

416
00:23:42,255 --> 00:23:44,549
[Draymond] Likewise, likewise.

417
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:47,802
Much needed.
Absolutely.

418
00:23:47,844 --> 00:23:49,595
How have things been?
Sit down.

419
00:23:49,637 --> 00:23:52,974
Um...
A little crazy.

420
00:23:53,015 --> 00:23:55,143
- Yeah?
- To say the least.

421
00:23:55,184 --> 00:23:57,645
What’s been happening
since I last saw you?

422
00:23:57,687 --> 00:24:01,607
Since you last saw me...
we were supposed to meet

423
00:24:01,649 --> 00:24:03,568
about five weeks ago...

424
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:05,444
And my daughter
went into the hospital.

425
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:11,909
My daughter was having seizures.

426
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:13,411
[Devi] Wow.

427
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:15,955
Over and over and over again.

428
00:24:15,997 --> 00:24:19,333
And what was thought to be like,
oh, you know, we’ll get there

429
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:22,003
we’ll figure it out ended
up being a nine day stay.

430
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:26,174
Which was...

431
00:24:26,215 --> 00:24:27,175
Which was brutal.

432
00:24:29,302 --> 00:24:31,554
And so in turn,
I was late for camp.

433
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:35,057
Even with being late for camp,

434
00:24:35,099 --> 00:24:37,935
and now looking back on it,
I definitely rushed back to camp

435
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:39,395
when she was out
of the hospital.

436
00:24:41,397 --> 00:24:43,107
Like when
I went back to practice,

437
00:24:43,149 --> 00:24:46,277
I was... every little thing,
just snappy at everything.

438
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:49,488
You know, like Coach Kerr
say this, I’m like...

439
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:50,656
I don’t want to hear that,
you know?

440
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:53,034
Everything was bothering me.

441
00:24:53,075 --> 00:24:55,828
But that’s because
I hadn’t quite processed

442
00:24:55,870 --> 00:24:58,831
what I needed to process
with the situation.

443
00:24:58,873 --> 00:25:01,292
And so it’s just a carry over.

444
00:25:01,334 --> 00:25:03,628
Do you get to feel
your feelings enough?

445
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:06,714
Because, you know, part of
when you come into that space,

446
00:25:06,756 --> 00:25:09,634
when you have a big life
that "keep going,"

447
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:10,718
it’s ingrained in you.

448
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,678
It’s your natural way of being.

449
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,264
I know for me at least,
I can’t speak for everyone,

450
00:25:15,306 --> 00:25:18,726
but you definitely don’t
tap into those feelings as much.

451
00:25:18,768 --> 00:25:22,271
What were some of those feelings
that didn’t get a chance

452
00:25:22,313 --> 00:25:25,524
to emerge when you found out
what was happening,

453
00:25:25,566 --> 00:25:27,735
when you were experiencing
what was happening?

454
00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:30,738
Fear.

455
00:25:36,077 --> 00:25:39,163
Because then in that moment,
right, like...

456
00:25:39,205 --> 00:25:43,125
I can’t let her see me afraid.

457
00:25:43,167 --> 00:25:45,795
Because she’s
probably terrified.

458
00:25:45,836 --> 00:25:48,714
What does fear feel like
when it’s inside of you?

459
00:25:50,258 --> 00:25:52,176
Fear for me feels weakening.

460
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:57,473
And so in turn,
in feeling that fear,

461
00:25:57,515 --> 00:26:00,268
you’re trying not to process
that fear because I need to

462
00:26:00,309 --> 00:26:03,312
be in a place of,
like, strength.

463
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,526
So many men are robbed
of the opportunity

464
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,486
to make friends with fear,

465
00:26:10,528 --> 00:26:13,990
to make friends with pain,
to make friends with sadness.

466
00:26:14,031 --> 00:26:18,202
Did you give yourself
a chance to

467
00:26:18,244 --> 00:26:21,706
cry or to feel scared?

468
00:26:21,747 --> 00:26:23,457
No.

469
00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:27,712
Uh-uh.

470
00:26:27,753 --> 00:26:30,214
Did a part of you want to?

471
00:26:30,256 --> 00:26:31,841
Uh... Yeah.

472
00:26:31,882 --> 00:26:34,260
- Yeah.
- For sure.

473
00:26:34,302 --> 00:26:36,387
Because the reality
is I was terrified.

474
00:26:36,429 --> 00:26:38,139
Yeah.

475
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:44,020
Like, but I also through it,
I learned more about myself

476
00:26:44,061 --> 00:26:46,272
and talking with my mother.

477
00:26:46,314 --> 00:26:51,360
Uh, I took seizure medications
until I was 28 years old.

478
00:26:51,402 --> 00:26:53,029
Wow.

479
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:56,240
I haven’t had one
since I was 13 years old,

480
00:26:56,282 --> 00:26:58,743
but I was on medications
’til I was 28.

481
00:27:01,329 --> 00:27:06,125
And I have some bad ones
as a child,

482
00:27:06,167 --> 00:27:09,962
like I had one seizure
for an hour and 30 minutes.

483
00:27:10,004 --> 00:27:11,797
Oh my God.

484
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:14,592
I think one of the challenges
when dealing with all

485
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:17,970
of these things is like
actually staying in that moment,

486
00:27:18,012 --> 00:27:19,764
figuring it out.

487
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:22,933
Feeling the moment,
like that is the challenge.

488
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:25,102
So what we’re walking into
right now is

489
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:27,980
we’re going to do some
corona Reiki.

490
00:27:28,022 --> 00:27:32,860
And Reiki is
a beautiful healing energy.

491
00:27:32,902 --> 00:27:36,364
And so what I’ll do is I’m going
to place some hands on you

492
00:27:36,405 --> 00:27:38,074
and send some energy
down to you.

493
00:27:38,115 --> 00:27:40,368
You’ll just be fully relaxed.

494
00:27:40,409 --> 00:27:42,787
You may feel it.
You may not.

495
00:27:42,828 --> 00:27:45,498
Every experience is different,

496
00:27:45,539 --> 00:27:49,543
but whether it’s felt or isn’t,
the energy is moving through you

497
00:27:49,585 --> 00:27:51,295
and it’s going
where it needs to go

498
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:55,591
to help heal and remove
any emotional blockages,

499
00:27:55,633 --> 00:28:00,346
heal physical
symptoms or ailments.

500
00:28:00,388 --> 00:28:03,516
It’s a really, really beautiful,
ancient energy system.

501
00:28:08,229 --> 00:28:10,481
I’m going to just walk around
you with a little bit

502
00:28:10,523 --> 00:28:13,317
of this scent, so just take in
a few deep breaths.

503
00:28:18,572 --> 00:28:20,699
[Draymond] I think it helped a lot

504
00:28:20,741 --> 00:28:23,577
that you’re
submerged into peace,

505
00:28:23,619 --> 00:28:27,289
like this very peaceful,
serene setting,

506
00:28:27,331 --> 00:28:30,042
quiet, relaxed, chill.

507
00:28:34,964 --> 00:28:38,843
Take a deep breath.
Figure it all out, like...

508
00:28:38,884 --> 00:28:41,429
be present in this moment.

509
00:28:41,470 --> 00:28:43,931
When you’re ready,
gently open your eyes.

510
00:28:43,973 --> 00:28:45,933
You can release your hands.

511
00:28:56,444 --> 00:28:58,237
How do you feel?

512
00:28:58,279 --> 00:28:59,280
Present.

513
00:29:01,907 --> 00:29:03,909
I feel good.

514
00:29:03,951 --> 00:29:05,578
All right, let’s go meditate.

515
00:29:14,253 --> 00:29:15,963
Today, I felt refreshed.

516
00:29:17,506 --> 00:29:19,508
Because it...

517
00:29:19,550 --> 00:29:24,263
After such a long break
to kind of...

518
00:29:24,305 --> 00:29:26,724
get back with Devi on
some of those principles

519
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:30,978
that I can’t quite just
pick up myself like that.

520
00:29:32,313 --> 00:29:34,940
To reconnect and...

521
00:29:34,982 --> 00:29:38,194
Talk about some real life shit
that’s like going on,

522
00:29:38,235 --> 00:29:41,113
you know, and being able
to talk through that

523
00:29:41,155 --> 00:29:45,409
and it lead
to other conversations.

524
00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:47,203
I thought today was incredible.

525
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:03,636
All right.

526
00:30:03,677 --> 00:30:07,139
I am honored today
to have a guest who I have

527
00:30:07,181 --> 00:30:09,058
the utmost respect for,

528
00:30:09,099 --> 00:30:11,852
a guy who
I had the honor of growing up

529
00:30:11,894 --> 00:30:12,853
watching him play.

530
00:30:12,895 --> 00:30:14,355
Metta World Peace, man.

531
00:30:14,396 --> 00:30:16,148
Thank you Metta for coming
on to the show.

532
00:30:16,190 --> 00:30:18,442
It’s an honor
to have you on, brother.

533
00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:20,903
[Metta] Same here, man,
it is an honor to be here.

534
00:30:20,945 --> 00:30:22,446
Growing up,

535
00:30:22,488 --> 00:30:24,532
I always would cheer
for the Lakers

536
00:30:24,573 --> 00:30:26,492
because I loved Kobe and Shaq.

537
00:30:26,534 --> 00:30:29,328
Then obviously they split up
and I’m like,

538
00:30:29,370 --> 00:30:31,539
man, I still love Kobe.
I love that dawg.

539
00:30:31,580 --> 00:30:33,999
And then you go
have that moment in game seven.

540
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:37,086
[Announcer] Artest... that’s
a three. Bam!

541
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:41,173
Lakers by six
with a minute to play.

542
00:30:41,215 --> 00:30:42,758
One of the biggest moments

543
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,637
I personally think from
that moment was afterwards.

544
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:49,056
You said you wanted
to shout out your therapist.

545
00:30:49,098 --> 00:30:51,308
I definitely want to thank
my doctor, Dr. Sandy,

546
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:54,687
my psychiatrist.
She really helped me relax.

547
00:30:54,728 --> 00:30:57,940
I was in college
when this happened.

548
00:30:57,982 --> 00:30:59,191
And I laughed.

549
00:30:59,233 --> 00:31:01,944
Like, how, what? I...

550
00:31:01,986 --> 00:31:03,654
What?

551
00:31:03,696 --> 00:31:05,948
He mentioned his
therapist during the interview.

552
00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:09,118
Ha ha ha ha!
I laughed.

553
00:31:09,159 --> 00:31:12,371
It’s Metta World Peace.
He talks shit.

554
00:31:12,413 --> 00:31:15,541
He gets into guys.
He’s elbowing guys.

555
00:31:15,583 --> 00:31:17,793
Tough as nails.

556
00:31:17,835 --> 00:31:21,547
And the first thing
he mentions is his therapist?

557
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:24,883
If it did nothing else,

558
00:31:24,925 --> 00:31:28,178
it made you further
your understanding.

559
00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:33,017
And he started
to trail blaze a path.

560
00:31:33,058 --> 00:31:36,687
What gave you the confidence or
made you want to speak on that?

561
00:31:36,729 --> 00:31:39,023
That’s actually true, man,
confidence because

562
00:31:39,064 --> 00:31:41,525
at that time
your most vulnerable states,

563
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:43,819
one would take that for weakness
and things like that.

564
00:31:43,861 --> 00:31:46,113
And I just felt like
the strength was in,

565
00:31:46,155 --> 00:31:47,406
you know, improving yourself.

566
00:31:47,448 --> 00:31:49,325
The strength was
in being vulnerable.

567
00:31:49,366 --> 00:31:51,869
And that’s what’s going
to help other people,

568
00:31:51,910 --> 00:31:53,579
you know,
that’s going through things

569
00:31:53,621 --> 00:31:56,248
and don’t really know
quite how to get through it.

570
00:31:56,290 --> 00:31:58,167
You know, when you’re trying
to improve yourself, that’s big.

571
00:31:58,208 --> 00:32:01,754
And I just wanted to give
credit where credit was due

572
00:32:01,795 --> 00:32:05,299
because for me,
the game was everything to me.

573
00:32:05,341 --> 00:32:08,177
And how can you be
effective on the court,

574
00:32:08,218 --> 00:32:11,388
if you're not focused, though?
That’s like sports therapy.

575
00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:15,267
Now, that’s a beautiful thing,
and I...

576
00:32:15,309 --> 00:32:18,604
I want to say thank you
for having the bravery

577
00:32:18,646 --> 00:32:20,689
that you had to come out
to speak on that.

578
00:32:20,731 --> 00:32:24,693
Now I think we have three
mental health professionals

579
00:32:24,735 --> 00:32:26,570
now on staff.

580
00:32:26,612 --> 00:32:28,989
There in, at least one
of them’s in at least

581
00:32:29,031 --> 00:32:31,158
once or twice a week.

582
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,618
And I think it’s
a beautiful thing

583
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:37,498
because you hear so many
people in our league...

584
00:32:37,539 --> 00:32:39,083
- go through it.
- Yup.

585
00:32:39,124 --> 00:32:40,959
And so many people suppress it.

586
00:32:41,001 --> 00:32:43,545
Metta, again,
I just want to say thank you

587
00:32:43,587 --> 00:32:47,633
for coming on to this podcast,
for sharing your light

588
00:32:47,675 --> 00:32:50,678
and the way you’ve led for...

589
00:32:50,719 --> 00:32:53,305
for guys like
myself coming behind you

590
00:32:53,347 --> 00:32:56,600
and you really set
a path in this NBA

591
00:32:56,642 --> 00:32:59,395
for guys to attack the things
that they need to attack.

592
00:32:59,436 --> 00:33:01,188
And we appreciate you.

593
00:33:01,230 --> 00:33:03,482
Thanks a lot, man. I really
appreciate being on with you.

594
00:33:03,524 --> 00:33:04,608
It was an honor.

They have been pulverizing.

602

The story of the year
so far in the NBA,

606
00:33:50,404 --> 00:33:52,656
I believe is the Golden State Warriors.

607
00:33:52,698 --> 00:33:54,324
As long as they are healthy.

608
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:56,118
If they are healthy,
they will contend

609
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,953
for a championship,
said and done.

[Rick] Stay committed to that left leg.

611
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:05,127
Yes, good, reinforce that.

612
00:34:05,169 --> 00:34:06,879
[Draymond] Yes, sir.

613
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,422
Nice and strong down here
nice and relaxed up top.

says he now expects to be out
for another three to four weeks

617
00:34:16,304 --> 00:34:17,764
due to the lower back injury

618
00:34:17,806 --> 00:34:20,100
that’s already sidelined
him for 14 games.

619
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:22,643
[Reporter 2] Draymond Green was
named as a reserve for the NBA

620

All-Star game today,

621
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:27,274
but his slow to heal back
injury is going to keep him

622
00:34:27,315 --> 00:34:29,818
on the sidelines
for the All-Star festivities.

623
00:34:29,860 --> 00:34:31,987
[Rick] Draymond right now
is dealing with a...

624
00:34:32,029 --> 00:34:36,658
you know... what started
as a very concerning injury.

625
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:38,452
This has been a
challenge for Draymond

626
00:34:38,494 --> 00:34:40,661
and for me
and for all of us again

627
00:34:40,704 --> 00:34:42,080
because of the nature
of the injury.

628
00:34:42,121 --> 00:34:45,375
There’s not a set timeline.

629
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:47,418
Stay there, stay there.
Don’t let it fall.

630
00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:49,505
It’s going to be a tough one.
Hold.

631
00:34:49,545 --> 00:34:52,841
It can be very isolating
and it’s... it’s quiet in here.

632
00:34:52,882 --> 00:34:55,844
You know, we a lot of times
it’s just the two of us

633
00:34:55,886 --> 00:34:57,930
and that can be
challenging at times.

634
00:34:57,971 --> 00:35:00,808
- Oh!
- Let’s go.

635
00:35:00,849 --> 00:35:03,852
It’s a very holistic,
integrated model

636
00:35:03,894 --> 00:35:08,065
that that includes, you know,
the physical and the mental.

637
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:11,610
You start to realize that it is
sort of a 360 degree approach.

638
00:35:11,652 --> 00:35:13,695
And considering everything
you know on the court

639
00:35:13,737 --> 00:35:15,405
but also off the court

640
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:18,116
and not just in the training
room or the gym, but also,

641
00:35:18,158 --> 00:35:20,244
you know, lifestyle
and what’s happening at home

642
00:35:20,285 --> 00:35:22,162
and understanding all the
different stressors

643
00:35:22,204 --> 00:35:23,997
our players have to deal with.

644
00:35:25,666 --> 00:35:26,625
Good work, man.

645
00:35:26,667 --> 00:35:28,210
[Draymond] Coming into the season,

646
00:35:28,252 --> 00:35:30,504
and dealing, you know, with
things with my daughter,

647
00:35:30,546 --> 00:35:32,881
that was already a little weird.

648
00:35:32,923 --> 00:35:34,925
And then I had COVID.

649
00:35:34,967 --> 00:35:37,302
And then shortly after
having COVID

650
00:35:37,344 --> 00:35:41,723
is when the injury happened.

651
00:35:41,765 --> 00:35:43,642
I think there are days
that you wake up and

652
00:35:43,684 --> 00:35:45,894
like you immediately
know, like you’re not there.

653
00:35:45,936 --> 00:35:47,271
How do you get there?

654
00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:48,981
And I think that’s

655
00:35:49,022 --> 00:35:51,859
one of the biggest things for me
is being able to identify

656
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:54,736
when I’m not centered
and knowing that.

657
00:35:54,778 --> 00:35:57,281
Whoo!

658
00:35:57,322 --> 00:35:59,700
Fuckin’ go.

659
00:35:59,741 --> 00:36:03,620
Like, if I can go back
and draw from my day

660
00:36:03,662 --> 00:36:07,541
with Deepak, I can hear,
still hear in my mind

661
00:36:07,583 --> 00:36:10,127
him speaking on self awareness.

662
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:13,088
And totally losing myself
in that moment.

663
00:36:16,216 --> 00:36:18,135
I definitely can
see the benefit.

664
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:20,679
- I can feel the benefit.
- Yeah, Dray.

665
00:36:20,721 --> 00:36:24,057
In large part, due
to me just being so centered

666
00:36:24,099 --> 00:36:26,184
and not falling into the whole,

667
00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:27,769
feeling sorry for myself trap.

668
00:36:27,811 --> 00:36:29,104
Coming back!

669
00:36:29,146 --> 00:36:31,732
- Ready? Go.

670
00:36:31,773 --> 00:36:34,401
Out and run,
coming back.

671
00:36:34,443 --> 00:36:36,320
- Let’s go, Rickster.
- Let’s go.

672
00:36:36,361 --> 00:36:38,071
Coming back!

673
00:36:38,113 --> 00:36:41,867
But only really allow myself
mentally to go to embracing

674
00:36:41,909 --> 00:36:43,410
the process ahead of me.

675
00:36:46,163 --> 00:36:50,208
Where am I now
on a scale of one to ten?

676
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:51,752
From an emotional state...

677
00:36:53,420 --> 00:36:56,298
I’d say I’m at a nine.
Eight, nine.

678
00:36:56,340 --> 00:36:59,259
I think I am in as good
a place as I’ve ever been.

679
00:36:59,301 --> 00:37:02,930
And you know, the things
that would have moved you,

680
00:37:02,971 --> 00:37:05,057
like to be able
to get past those things

681
00:37:05,098 --> 00:37:08,518
and they don’t move
you off your square.

682
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,895
It’s a big deal for me.

683
00:37:12,773 --> 00:37:15,817
I’ll tell you, the most
rewarding part of it all

684
00:37:15,859 --> 00:37:20,572
is I’ve had people like
Rick, Bob Myers, Coach Kerr like

685
00:37:20,614 --> 00:37:24,326
come to me and say, like,
you’re in such a great space.

686
00:37:24,368 --> 00:37:25,869
[Rick] Honest to God, Dray.

687
00:37:25,911 --> 00:37:28,038
Like, it’s glaringly
noticeable.

688
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,289
For real.

689
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:33,961
You know, it’s the sessions,
it’s the experiences.

690
00:37:34,002 --> 00:37:35,170
You take all of these things

691
00:37:35,212 --> 00:37:37,714
and you put them
into one person.

692
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:41,093
And you have so much
to draw from.

693
00:37:43,178 --> 00:37:46,598
You get a person
that understands that

694
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,227
they have reached new heights.

695
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:52,562
But most importantly, you get
a person that understands that

696
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:56,358
that work always has to continue
and it never ends.

697
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,027
Some people would think, "Oh,
that’s the end of it for you."

698
00:37:59,069 --> 00:38:00,404
For me, it’s the beginning

699
00:38:00,445 --> 00:38:02,531
because the work
still continues.

700
00:38:02,572 --> 00:38:05,492
The work is nowhere near done.

701
00:38:05,534 --> 00:38:07,327
And so for me, it’s
the beginning of the beginning.
