He NEVER said he was in class, the interviewer said he looked like he was in class and AJ responded saying he was at school and just finished his workout. NOTHING at all that could be interpreted that he was skipping class to ball like they eluded. He talks about the team and how guys come together and focused for the World Cup in Turkey, not sounding like a prima donna at all.
For the Olympics, Paul George brought it up!! He asked him if it was a goal and of course he said yes to that. The guy on this podcast was saying it like AJ was the one that brought it up as a braggart or something. He even said he doesn't care if he is the last guy on the bench!
When asked about his opportunities to practice and workout with some NBA guys, one question was if he thought the NBA guys learned anything from him and he just laughed and said "no way".
Talking about schools, it was cool that he and his family had their "pillars" and looked at schools that fit that best, not just what was considered a "blue-blood" school. He definitely seems to have a level of maturity that a lot of kids his age, regardless of athletic talent, don't have. It was also cool to hear him say how he was happy to be able to have his parents not have to pay for his college.
I didn't have time to listen to it all, so skipped ahead to the questions he had for PG. Definitely shows a level of humility that he knows what he's got, but hungry to learn more and keep improving and is not satisfied or busy patting himself on the back.
Great interview with PG. TERRIBLE takes by this podcast and pretty low class to purposely pose misleading takes from the interview to knock a teenager's character.
