00:00george pickens asked by the media are you a number two receiver or are you a 1b i'll probably
00:22most definitely say on the outside uh you guys make it a 1a 1d and all of this honestly that's
00:28the first time i've heard any of that stuff uh i feel like two receivers are kind of normal when i
00:34used to watch football there was always a good receiver and then there's always another good
00:37receiver on the side of him so uh i just feel like we're going to work off each other very well
00:41this has turned into kind of a social media debate you and choppy had it on day one when the news broke
00:47over whether he's a 1 a 1b or a number two and there's george being like i haven't really heard
00:54of this number two wide receiver until you guys have asked what you haven't heard of the number
00:58two wide out okay yeah uh i mean he wants the limelight but he clearly i guess doesn't play
01:03pay attention to a lot of media narratives uh i guess he's he's kind of uh closed off from that
01:08but no he's um i i think that's more just he's of course heard it he's more just trying to say
01:14he's not gonna break he he is an alpha like he's got the alpha mentality he sounds intelligent
01:19you know he is he's somebody who like the testimony you heard from people after the trade
01:23when i was talking to people around the league about him was that he's generally pretty well
01:28liked by teammates teammates generally like him coaches don't and that's that's more the issue is
01:35that he's he's got issues more with his superiors and and they have some issues but generally teammates
01:41find him to be a good guy chuck cooperstein tweeted this is kyrie yeah this is kyrie coming here all
01:47over again coaches management front offices pre-mavs giving you heartburn but as you see
01:54with kyrie on the floor every other player in the league seems to love him they always wanted to play
01:58with him you know they they wanted him on their team and um maybe that is the same situation here
02:04with with pickens uh but at the end of the day you know going back to the one or you know the one the
02:10two he's saying the right things you know right now uh he knows he knows the difference in a way
02:15he knows that whole thing that's uh that's just him not wanting to to to speak out of turn i don't
02:20think yet
