Philadelphia Seventy Sixers select Jared McCain from Duke University.
He says that everything goes blank.
I start crying immediately.
Go straight to my family, my mom,
my dad, my brother.
This is my favorite moment of all time in my life,
probably just to share that moment with my brother.
Best moment of my life by far.
By far.
I was super happy. I was able to get up and give him a big hug
and tell him I was proud of him.
I know he deserved that and so much more.
That’s my guy. And we’re out achieving our dreams.
So I’ll be super excited when we get to play and see him again
shaking the goat’s hand. Um,
I was very conscious of this moment.
Didn’t know if I was gonna handshake them or going for the dap.
Worked out perfectly. It’s a perfect dap up.
No mistakes, no aura was lost.
Another great moment in my life.
Just happy as can be. I mean, that’s just.
This is fire. I can get used to this.
They play this after every win or something.
Yeah, I can get used to this for sure.
Just great vibes. Great vibes.
Let’s go, Sixers!
Let’s go, Jared!
Let’s go, Jared!
70, Sixers.
You know, I’m saying Doctor J vibes.
I’m just. I’m just grateful to be alive, man.
This is a blessing. They’re getting a very funny guy.
Just a humble, hard working,
ready to win type of Player I just lived out my dream accomplished. The.
The one dream that has been on my mind since I was
literally five years old. And it’s surreal.
There’s no. No other word to describe it.
