Look at my jersey. I mean look at this, they got girl.

Young Hollywood

Behind the scenes what I don't see?

Athletes Give Advice

What you don't see? Um, me just participating with my kids doing what they're doing. You know, not not necessarily telling them what to do all the time but just sort of participating in their activities and trying to support them.

Young Hollywood

When the camera isn't rolling, how are you a big kid?

Athletes Give Advice

I dance randomly. Randomly, I just started dancing, so.

Young Hollywood

Okay, right now, let me see, let me see.

Camera was rolling so you I can't do it.

Okay, pretend it's not rolling. Let me see you dance. Go.

Young Hollywood

What advice would you pass down to kids who want to be in your shoes?

Athletes Give Advice

Ah, man, just work hard and you know, fight for your dreams. You know, uh, I've overcame a lot, never quit. Um, and believed in myself and you know, 14 years later, I'm still playing in the NBA. So just really, you know, try to overcome and keep fighting. But just to have fun and enjoy it. You know, you have to work hard, but you have to love what you're doing. So, uh, you know, work and and love it.

Athletes Give Advice

The details are very important. You have to, uh, you have to listen to instructions and when you're little, it it might not matter that much, but when you grow older, uh the details are important and that's what's going to make you successful. So always just take care of your schoolwork first. That's the most important part of this. Um, just to focus on that and then work hard on and off the court and anything can anything can happen if you just put your mind to it.

Young Hollywood

Not only do you have a job to do tonight, you're gonna be on stage with Mr. Hawk, right?

Athletes Give Advice

Love it. I love it, I love it.

Give me some insight. What have you been doing? I've been out here. I can't watch, tell me.

Athletes Give Advice

I've been a lot of things. You know, I've actually did a couple little bottle flipping things on the Snapchat, which is pretty fun and I've, uh, I've shot some things on the on the orange carpet. So, uh, till, uh, we've got some fun stuff planned for it, too.

Young Hollywood

Now, you are the youngest guy to play in the X Games. It's a lot of responsibility for someone so young.

Athletes Give Advice

You know, it's just all about what you love. You know, I I never planned out to be the youngest kid. I just loved what I do. I love skateboarding and I love the things I do and so it just ended up happening.

Young Hollywood

This is your daughter?

Athletes Give Advice

Yes, Katie's following in my fitness footsteps. So excited.

Young Hollywood

So, it's all about the kids. What would you pass down to the younger generation? What advice would you give them?

Athletes Give Advice

To move and get in sports when they're young. Katie was a D1 athlete at college playing lacrosse. It's all about getting them to start fitness early and instilling in them a good healthy lifestyle and eat healthy, eat a meal at home at least once a day.

Young Hollywood

What's the best advice you learned from your elder statesman?

Athletes Give Advice

Ah, you know, just stay fly. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

All the time.

Explain now, break down, how do you stay fly? Tell me.

Young Hollywood

Now, who do you wanna see come down the carpet? And if you get five minutes with them, what are you gonna say?

Athletes Give Advice

Oh my, there's a lot of people here. I mean, the legend, Kobe Bryant. Everyone knows. Um, I don't know. I just ask like what he did to push himself, how to stay motivated and everything. He's an amazing basketball player and had an amazing career.

Athletes Give Advice

The best experience was actually jumping into a vat of slime 'cause that was fully submersed. It wasn't like it came down on top of you. It was like I got to actually swim in it.

Young Hollywood

If you could slime anybody in your life, who's it gonna be?

Athletes Give Advice

I would slime these two. Let these two get slimed. See what it's like.

Young Hollywood

Do they know that? You want to tell them right now?

Athletes Give Advice

It'd be a surprise, they wouldn't be happy about it.

Young Hollywood

Well, I'm doing a thing with uh Jager Eaton here today. He's doing Snapchat for us today. Okay, so I think uh I think Jager should he needs a he needs an initiation here. Not 'cause I'm dissing him because I want him to like join the family.

Young Hollywood

Well, how do we make this happen? Let's try and orchestrate this.

Athletes Give Advice

Ah, you know what, if you watch if you watch, I think something's gonna happen.

Young Hollywood

Wait, I know you're doing something with him on stage tonight. Are you going to slime him? Are you telling me something?

Athletes Give Advice

We're gonna be slimed by default. That's all I can say.

Athletes Give Advice

In 10 years, I just want to keep loving what I do. You know, I love it, I love I love where I'm at right now and I just want to keep doing what I do.
