Games with some of the fans they’re out on the basketball court doing layup lines DJ now we’re specifically at the wine tasting that we did um among some of our season ticket holders tasting through the chardet the Peno new war excited about The Shard and the Peno being here
In Market you can get it at the wine seller and it’ll be available in some restaurants and shops throughout New Orleans why P Noir that was the thing that I was more comfortable with it was the thing that I enjoy with food with without food I didn’t get hangovers from
It I was I was able to play at a high level while I still drinking it so appreciate the support I gave him a Puerto Rican hat it says boriqua for Puerto Ricos that’s what they call each other I’m their fans so like they my fans but I’m their fans for real you
Know they get me going you know that Boos and uh that boost that we need or I need they when I hear their noise that noise is that’s what I I get going Go how y doing how y Doing hi I’m Hannah McCrae I am with the social media team for the Pelicans today I will be shadowing two professional extreme sport athletes from Red Bull at our game tonight they’re going to get a meet some of our players tonight watch them warm up and sit Courtside and
Hopefully we can get a win tonight to make this experience even more memorable for them my name is Terry Adams I’m from Hammond Louisiana and I’m a pro BMX flatland Rider hey what’s up I’m Brock Rayford I’m from destan Louisiana and I’m a professional BMX Street Rider oh sick these are awesome thank you so much dude we can split them one in one it’s exciting for us because what we do in BMX sometimes the rules are a little bit less strict so to come to something like this and see the boundaries that are put in place for all
The athletes uh it’s exciting for us because it’s so [Applause] Different shot there it is baby we on the board oh here we go Zion yeah d y going to have to put in some work you little bees oh but wait he called something ref did the patty cake I’m thinking we just tell everybody to go
Home we already 40 to 28 yeah bees can’t fly in the [Applause] blender in the hole J franchise record has ah hey good game p show that’s it PS win in great time hung out with my man Terry couldn’t ask much more we were on fire down here we were
On fire the whole time so fun guys good j a really good start to the game you guys started the game with force with Pace um starting with our defense getting stops rebounding the ball be way to get us off to a great start triple double by you
Offensively 32 assists only 13 turnovers that’s a really good offensive game okay way to take care business record from [Applause] threes we ask you over and over again about just the confidence Jordan plays with as a three-point shooter but just the amount of tough shots he he can make
As a as an outside shooter what’s it like just seeing how he does that consistently you know he he doesn’t play like a rookie to me Hawkins talk off the curl to Hawkins you know it nothing but neck keep feeding him we’re extremely extremely excited about Jordan Hawkins
Comes from a winning program won a national championship I think that says a lot when you bring in players that have played in Big Time games and they understand the moment Drive pop from 15 yes right in Kyrie Irving’s Grill I man this my the way my mind works is just like every
Time I step on the floor I’m a Hooper and I I do what I got to do just just to impact the game oh Hulk how about you he’s a guy that can shoot the ball flat out shoot it he’s good he’s good moving without the ball finish around the
Basket a little bit and is continuing to learn how to become you know an effective NBA player but I think right away you just notice his shooting his professionalism and he knows what what his skills are obviously a great shooter but it’s more than just a shooter you
You can put it on the floor wild shot oh my Heavens um I just think I’ve gotten so much better through the season I I am shooter I mean that’s how I play my game I play my game off my shooting ability off my gravity of shooting but I I
Definitely can get to a one Dr pull up working on my finishings definitely working on defens people could leave me as a shooter all they want so I mean it just it opens up every everything else so um I kind of was like it when team say
Shootter run them off the line uh so I can display all the other skills I have when you mentioned Jordan you probably have to mention basketball as well this just just a part of me just part of who I am and every time I touch
It I just feel like it’s just a like a Ultra ego like an ultra ego just flips on flips the switch and I st on that Court cuz usually I’m a quiet kid two kid but when I step in the court it’s like a whole different person so
Basketball brings out like the the the energy the the the the passionate Jordan Paul career [Applause] High we are here at Smoothie King Center we have a lot of students here on our HBC unite it’s on an amazing event for financial literacy to gain more knowledge so I was happy to host today jump into this discussion to talk about money the most important thing that you
Can do is one show up and two make sure that you’re diversify your investment really great conversation about how we can all just achieve the financial and personal outcomes that we’re trying to achieve in our lives some of the best and brightest of our community are at
These universities right now we need to support them there’s nothing like that type of support for us to merge the literacy um point and also the traditions of the HBCU experience whether it’s the band or the dance line and divine n is All of Us coming together we’re going to celebrate each
Other and get to fully immerse ourselves in the culture Pelicans reached out to me to collaborate with them on designing the patch for the HBCU and divine N Night the patch was designed using my uh floor the tree a Flor Le with the roots extended from the bottom a symbol of
Like being rooted in New Orleans much like my legacy of being rooted at zav University there was something about that Legacy that makes you not want to let Let It Go even after you graduate and move on it makes you want to be back for homecoming makes you want to go to
Divine N Night at the pel’s game I just finished performing a national anthem I am so blessed to be a part of this HBC unite Divine n night it’s such an amazing opportunity for our sororities and opportnity a lot of these organizations really organize their own service to the community and really have
A strong emphasis on scholarship and academic Excellence so I’m super excited to be a part of my fraternity F beta signment Fraternity Incorporated I think that’s one of the huge things about my fraternity and other fraternities is what you contribute to the community to kind of make the community a little bit
Better and also people in Greek letter organizations generally are people who kind of lead a little bit cuz you have to step out and be a little bit uncomfortable to pledge anyway and so you carry that throughout life and you become a little bit more of a leader in
In whatever area you’re exercising in and so I think when the Pelicans are able to highlight that it gives an opportunity for those organizations to say exactly what their principles are and to kind of shine a light on It
