Hey guys, Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood inside the Sport Spectacular Award show where I have got your exclusive backstage access.
Russell, congratulations on being honored for being spectacular. You do such great work on and off the court.
Mr. Sally, be spectacular, you are spectacular. You're here. I am here. Um and it's we're great. We're here at the Be Spectacular Awards. You are spectacular. Nothing ever gets old, but the Sport Spectacular is special. To get a little sports in my life, I will do anything. Truly an honor, especially to be here with all the people in the building. I'm blessed and happy to be able to to reach people as many ways as I can.
Tommy, the epitome of young Hollywood right here.
Nothing else. I got a young mind.
And of all the places you've ever been to, what's the freshest city that you've been to and why? Besides LA?
Well, LA is first, go for it. I mean, LA is probably the best place to live, I think in my opinion. I'm obviously from here, so I think it's uh one of the most exciting and fun places to live.
So this is all about creating healthier futures. Obviously, you're eating vegan. What else are you doing?
Athletic body, staying in shape, eating healthy. I walk a lot. I do a lot of walking and one huge thing I do is I drink about a gallon of water. I stay hydrated.
Well, historically our sport, obesity isn't an option because you don't have enough money to buy food.
I just like to be outside. I've been going outside since some of my earliest memories. So it's just part of my DNA is is spending a life outdoors and being inspired by the outdoors. And I think that just keeps me keeps me active and keeps me healthy and keeps me inspired.
Well, you're an all-time great, Hall of Famer. You're obviously still in great shape. What are you doing to stay healthy?
I honestly, it's you gotta eat good and you gotta you gotta control how you eat. You don't need to sacrifice everything. You just need to be aware of and then and then move.
Now we're all about creating healthier futures. Are you still dancing to stay healthy?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm a tango dancer. I'm studying tango, Argentinian tango.
So we saw you at the Project Subway event, Fashion Week. So what really was the trick to having good style and what is the trick to having good style without spending too much?
Just being unique, man, just being yourself. I think it's very important, especially when it comes to fashion and and style, just being yourself, you know, whatever you you feel like it's is hot then you should roll with it.
Let's talk fashion, how's it going?
It's going well. Fashion is uh another space for me to be able to be creative and be myself. Uh so it's going really well. So it's good.
And where do you get your inspiration from? You look amazing tonight.
Thank you. Um you look well yourself. You know, I'm sure people have told you that but you look good yourself.
Thank you, Russell.
Of course, but my mom's a big style lady and she's done a great job with myself and my brother of trying to teach us how to dress and I kind of learn from her. So.
So your fiance, are you dressing her or is she dressing you?
Oh, I dress her, but you know, I I listen to her, act like I'm listening and then I dress her, but
Do you guys have an athlete that you find spectacular?
Oh man, so many athletes that I find spectacular. You mean here tonight or?
In general, you got the whole ball park.
Yeah, I mean, I can't believe that I'm being, not athlete so much, but I can't I can't believe we're being introduced by Tommy Cheech, like that's kind of a trip to me.
God, you know, that's a loaded question. There's a lot of people. I mean, in the sports world, in the entertainment world, what? You're spectacular.
You know, I'm going to pick Jonathan Quick. I appreciate a focus even if you're killing.
Joe Montana. He was my guy and uh love for everything where he stood for and you know, he played under pressure. He was a very special athlete.
We're in LA. Kobe Bryant, spectacular. Um another sports person. LeBron James spectacular. Stephen Curry spectacular. Oh, Michael Phelps, I guess. I have to go for Michael.
