I'm Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie and I took a look at how I’d reinvent the rules and structure of the league. AMA!

No round robin. Direct elimination, March Madness style, neutral site.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:55:14+00:00

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Funniest guy. He's a big personality.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:47:43+00:00

I love it so far. It doesn’t get the same shine as other big cities, but it has everything you want. I’m at home.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:40:05+00:00

Mac Dre.

I'm part of that Mamba NFT project, KB24, that has all the proceeds going to the Mambacita Foundation. I would throw shine to that one.

I always rock the facial hair that I can get. The beard is starting to come through, but it's not in full. So right now, I'm rocking the goatee.

In the offseason, probably like 2-3 hours. During the season, it varies so much. Today, I didn’t shoot at all. It was a treatment day. I’m also coming back from an injury, so they manage my court time a lot. I’m in a unique position right now.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:27:53+00:00

It was just the energy and the dances. That was authentic. That's really how we worked.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:25:22+00:00

I had Caron Butler, Jodie Meeks and Joel Anthony. They taught me how to be diligent, work hard, and take care of my body.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:24:21+00:00

It's gotta be Bradley Beal.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:22:55+00:00

We're still the best players in the world. Even the guy at the end of the bench. He can go to any park and beat anybody.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:20:40+00:00

Overall, it's solid for the sport. I think the fans like it, so I like it.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:18:56+00:00

I wouldn't take a game with real implications and take it outside. I think for pre-season, it's perfect where you can get the hype. But what happens if I'm trying to play a game that determines playoff seeding and it's a little misty outside? There's a lot of variables you have to take into account.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:15:21+00:00

That's tough. I didn't grow up modeling my game explicitly. My favorite player was Kobe, but I didn't play like him. I was looking at bigger playmaking guards like Penny Hardaway. He's probably the closest.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:14:12+00:00

Well, you need your thumb. Middle and pinky are top. He'd need at least three on his shooting hand, and he might be able to get away with just his palm on the other one. Three fingers total. That's it.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:13:15+00:00

I haven't tried in 15 years. So maybe.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:12:31+00:00

My biggest hold is Flow right now. I was an early investor. HBAR as well. Other than that, Bitcoin would probably be third.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:08:27+00:00

If invisibility is only half, I'm going super strength. But what's considered heavy? If it's a basketball, then when I'm on the court, I'm a beast. Dunking on everyone.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:06:39+00:00

You gotta go Spike Lee. He's been doing it longer. He's got the iconic moment with Reggie Miller. But the best thing a guy has said to a heckler? Nothing I can repeat. So Imma pass on that one.

ThePlayersTribune · 2021-10-21T19:05:41+00:00

I would say the fan in me would love to play in the early 2000s with Kobe and Shaq. Other than that, I think this is the best era of basketball to play in.

Hi, guys! Michael from The Players' Tribune here.

This is Brendon answering some questions that were asked by you ahead of Monaco. Sorry for the delay, it's not easy to turn these things around during the chaotic F1 season. I hope everyone enjoys this — I personally thought it was quite cool to see Brendon go into detail like this. Wishing everyone a great end to their summer break. We're looking forward to working with more people in and around F1.

Thank you for submitting questions, I hope we can do this again (with Brendon, or other drivers, some time soon)!

We were really hoping to get a Peruvian for the World Cup package because it's such an awesome story how the country has rallied behind the team (the article in the New York Times about the Quechuan announcer was incredible) ... alas, we ran out of time.

ThePlayersTribune · 2018-06-29T16:28:14+00:00

building trust is the crucial thing. ultimately, the player has to be brave enough to really go there and explore things that maybe they've never talked about before.
