    Not sure who thought of this idea but Dame gets more out of Shaedon that any other interviewer so far.

    That was fun. The contrast in their current comfort levels is fascinating. Think it will be interesting to see how Shaedon develops in personality over the next few years. Jabari seems like he could be an analyst or something right now.

    Dame is such a chill dude. I don't see how anyone could dislike the guy.

    Dame made some rookie mistakes. There's a LOT of guys who do what Shaedon did. If you give them the answer to your question, they will always just agree. It's a good way to get a quote you want though. Dame started strong with an open ended question, but then he'd just bail them out.

    Example:

    Dame - Shaedon what have you thought about the league so far? Like... the speed and the pace and all that.

    Shaedon - Yeah, like you said, the speed and the pace.

    Most of these guys aren't going to be thoughtful like Jabari. That's actually super rare. I have interviewed a lot of NBA players and most of them are boring interviews. Shaedon isn't rare at all.
