Hey Young Hollywood! What's up, guys? It is Drew Gallagher for Young Hollywood. We are here at the Cedar Sinai Celebrity Sports Spectacular Gala for the wellness and the health of kids battling diabetes, getting them out, getting them to play. It's hosted by Von Miller, Mr. Super Bowl MVP, as well as the LA Clippers. So, tons of stars. Let's go check it out. So this event is all about getting the youth active and combating diabetes. What do you feel about that?

I feel it's great and to be here with all of these special athletes from many different sports around the world is is great. And there was somebody who put that idea in our heads to play sports when we were younger, and it's definitely paid off. So, any way we can use this pedal to, you know, get kids active and like off their phones, and the iPads is is a really good thing. Second guest: Childhood obesity and just obesity in general is a problem. It's a healthcare problem. And so, the more we can do our athletes set a great example. I mean, they they should. They're working out every day. And I just think that their belief and their body systems show kids keep working. You know, it's an off day, so to be able to come here and and and be here all together to support this is pretty cool. Third guest: Being an athlete, you know, it's all about healthy lifestyle, healthy eating and staying active and so if we can continue to promote that message and get kids to sign up, it would be great. Fourth guest: Technology is ruling the world these days, and which is kind of hard for us, you know, as adults and parents to to to wean them off those things, but we just have to make it more of a priority, you know, and and and really educate kids on on what what health and wellness is about and just having a healthy nutritious, you know, regiment and, you know, that it all kind of go hands in hand.

This is like the best interview of the day. All of the Clippers girl. Hi! How do you girls stay active besides dancing? Fifth guest: We all do different things. A lot of us like to go hiking here in LA and swimming and we all like to run on the beach together. So, Sixth guest: We're the typical gym, you know? Yeah. Classes, dancing, yoga, hiking, yeah, everything.

I don't even know if they're speaking Spanish or what. It doesn't matter right now. What would you tell kids who want to be just like DeAndre?

Man, it's a long road, it's tough. There's gonna be many obstacles in your way, but if you keep believing in what you want to do and strive for it, then, you know, the sky's the limit. Seventh guest: Just to practice and enjoy it. It's that at the end of the day is a competition, but it's still a game. And you can't do anything well unless you love it. And so if you don't love it, find something else, but I think you gotta love it. Eighth guest: It's important to number one, to get an education. And, you know, you want to as a kid, I wanted to make all A's and B's, but that I didn't do it always, but that's that's a point of emphasis now. So when I talk to kids now, I give them permission to make 3D's and this is the only time that they can make 3D's and that that's uh desire, dedication, and discipline. And so that's that's been pretty much the blueprint of how I got to be who I am.

I hear so much about how your faith has driven you to get to you where you are. Eighth guest: I feel like it impacts me a lot. I was raised that way, you know, raised by my mom and my my grandparents. And, um, you know, with with your faith anything's possible, man, and I kind of keep that, you know, with me and it's something that I'm confident about.

Growing up, who was your big influence and drove you to push to take you to where your career is now? Eighth guest: Um, probably my older brother. My older brother growing up, just to see that's where I learned my work ethic from, you know, he was the guy who worked extremely hard. Um, and he, you know, unfortunately, wasn't able to make, you know, the NBA, which showed me I had to work even harder. Uh, and he told me that same thing. So he had me working in the gym, he would he, you know, and um, that's probably one of my biggest influences and he knew how to handle himself on and off the court, just as a person, as a leader. Uh, so he was a big influence on my life.

Being the superstar coach you are, you have to have some off-time. What is it that you like to do when you're not getting these most getting the most out of these players? Ninth guest: Well, that's easy. Golf. You know, I'm not very good at it, but I do like doing it, um, and you know, so that's what I do.

Now, is there anyone that you like to golf with mostly? Ninth guest: Oh, I have a whole list of guys, you know, from Clyde Drexler to Al Michaels. But really, my friends, you know.

Clyde swing the clubs or what? Ninth guest: Clyde is a really good golfer. Uh, he's a quirky golfer, he's more like a Jim Furyk swing, but he can play.

My favorite thing to do is uh I like playing video games.

Uh What what game?

I play NBA 2K. I know it's pretty generic, but um

So do you play with yourself or who do you play with?

No, I like to play with other people just cuz it makes it more uh I play with like the Bulls. I play with anybody. I pick like a random team.

My favorite story about you is when you almost went to the Mavericks and you had a couple guys come to your house. Who are those guys?

Um, Doc came, CP, JJ, Blake, Steve Balmer was there. I didn't get locked in at my own house. I kinda wanted to stay there. So it was good, but we had a really good time.

So I hear that you guys ended up making a deal and then playing some video games, huh?

Yeah, we played a couple video games, ordered some food, which Balmer paid for, so I really appreciate that.

What games did you guys play?

We played a lot of card games. Uh play a little FIFA.

Who who's the best at FIFA? Look at the shoe game here. You got a nice shoe. Look at this, look at this. I can't compete. Growing up, what did you think you were gonna be when you were older?

A basketball player. I was gonna be a pro athlete, a pro basketball player. That was my goal. Uh I made it, uh but I made it through a lot of practice, a lot of hard work, a lot of ups and a lot of downs. I just wanted to play basketball honestly. I didn't know if I was gonna be an NBA player or not. I just liked playing it and then once it got more serious, once I got a little bit older, um then I knew what I was like, man, maybe I'm capable of doing this. Um and then it felt like the more success I got, the more confidence I got. Um and uh it prepared me to to deal with all different types of adversities, whether it's me getting hurt my rookie year, me not playing well my rookie year. Uh you know, it got me through all that to where I am now, to where now I'm back on track and just having fun again and um uh so, you know, I I don't think you can ever see things that far when you're a kid, but I think you just gotta give your best shot, work hard, see what happens.

What a night we had kickin' it here at the sports spectacular gala here at the W. Man, we got to see so many cool people for such a great cause, helping battle diabetes, funding that medical research, helping athletes stay strong for all the time that they can. Whoo! What a blast!
