Sebastian Telfair

It's crazy.

Sebastian Telfair-

Yeah

... might be the first-

Maybe.

What's the word on Sebastian? What's his name?

Sebastian Telfair.

What's the word on him?

But broadly, it's a story about how challenging it is for people his size.

I thought about Sebastian Telfair.

Like in the way that he sort of was the same size and he had some fun moments in Portland and then it just teams hunt him and it doesn't work out.

It's hard.

He was a 10-time All-Star and the 2004 Most Valuable Player, the face of everything they’d built.

In return, Minnesota received Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, plus two first-round picks that later became Jonny Flynn and Wayne Ellington.

It was seven assets for one superstar, the largest package ever for a single player at that time.

Jefferson stepped in as a primary interior scorer.

Yeah.

He got the Celtics to trade for Sebastian Telfair.

I mean, come on.

All right, coming up next, we go primetime boring.

I guess I want to talk about when was the first time you realized that you was a pro prospect? Because was it like, was it AAU? Was it high school? What was it when you realized that you were a pro prospect?

Sebastian Telfair, 2003.

Um, we were at, we were at USA out in Colorado, uh, training for training for, uh, junior Olympics.

I want to say junior Olympics or, or world games or whatever.

We all same class.

And, um, We were there, but we were watching the draft together.

And I remember it at 13, Sebastian Telfair went.

And that was the first time I thought to myself, oh, shit, I can do this.
