Joel Berry Interview (3/4/20)

Please now be enjoying by the most recent Tar Heel great to have his name up into the rafters at the Smith Center. It happened last month. It is still very cool force plays for the Greensboro storm here in the dryad and Joel. There are a lot of things I want to talk to you about. Let's get to the one most associated with our show Juergen to be in studio with us next Monday to play our assistant producer Sawyer Dylan extremes himself, playing video games. He beat Chad Ochocinco knowing he tied Chad Ochocinco and FIFA soccer not too long ago you guys good to be going head-to-head in studio. Thank you for the time but how confident are you taking on Sawyer next Monday. I still respect everybody but am pretty confident in what I could do about the role think I'm ready to really Williams is so I respect your opponent always do stuff I don't know Sawyer's paying you much respect know he's not here today, but he sent us this. He's on the road I think is overlooking you. He's in New York just spending time ahead of his big matchup with you on my nightmare, but he sent this in specifically for you. It was of Joe. Looking forward to our game on Monday. I just have one quick question though, what should the mercy rule be because I don't know if you're down by like 25 or 30 and like the third quarter, we might want to call it but I can run the score on you or we can just call it a 2015 10 one of your thinking also are we doing three random teams, or we take our teams that's that's the only other thing I need to know before I get the government is so awful talking trash.

But how do you respond to that cocky right now so you know what I like to call, let him have it and we can begin our follow-up on the question of the confidence that you look at heart. It was there ever a time Joel Barry was a trash talker on the floor. I'm a pretty quiet gardener.

You get up on the one thing I usually let my fire come out of my play yeah usually stay quietly if you rub me the wrong way to naturally all the ACC you face that you remember thinking this guy talks a lot want. This is, I think his name was Josh from Georgia take all the know it was happening. I might go. I think you still there. We have made a point guard from from Georgia take in the wind. I think I feel down and again, stepped over me if there's something in that kind of thing that keep me out so that the mainland I remember, but everybody you know. It is part of the game you know it happened. You know he got a little respectful.

They brought her night was the Alvarado he's at his fair share of run-ins with a lot of people in my eyes. He still plays at Georgia Tech. As you mentioned, Joel Barry is joining us here on sports try at your guys in Chapel Hill man won three straight games beat Wake Forest last night to be in your town though next week to be playing in the ACC tournament go to when the whole damn thing in order to make it to the NCAA's you think your boys are scary. Next we get a girl scary team wrong right. I think that all that I would always quote William always know your down battle injury and all but what's most important is trying to put it all together toward in the that's when you need to be playing all I think that's gonna come together as a team.

All coach always said that you start off your first level once you get towards the end of the season. You're not a freshman anymore so that will be the beginning don't don't apply it in so they decide to put it together.

I think I remember Mark here we had we played on the first day and had play all the way through the economy and made it let go of all the teams. I think it's Joel Barry with this year from the swarm from the car you great. I remember last month when your number was being put into the rafters. Boy he wanted.

He was calling from microphone as he was walking off of the floor.

They wanted to do things quickly as halftime of the Duke game a very important game for the Tar Heels really wanted to say something that he grabbed the microphone it was brief for about 15/22 but he said that he called you a rascally college you talk to this guy who I mean that's that's a term of endearment. I mean, that's something that I think you learn with Coach Williams when he calls you a little rascal or somebody who could be a pain in the neck that that's a good thing when Roy Williams is referring to you that way. Isn't there all you know, the Navy already. I think that's because postgame always came know what it is going on no call that he looking at about it but on that is give your name like that. I don't think when you go in recruiting visit to a place like North Carolina you expect to have a banner go up with your name on it. I could be wrong on that because I'm not nearly as talented as you are. But when you see names like Jordan up there and were the board now carries up there me what goes through you as you look up in the rafters that day when at halftime of the Duke game and you see your name amongst all those other great yeah. Your arm and I don't think it will until I get older. All know walking up one day would be able to show my career.

No be able to show them that in the first time I walked in there and that I just thought it was always cool and I hope that day that I want to put my name and on an honor to be able to be up there with you know with Jordan feel for it in Callahan's girl on more monitor have forgot that I played with Marcus page and all and not just injection to be up there so you have forgot that I play with so be up there that just something that that that I wanted to do when I was a put to accomplish that, Joel. I'm sure your heart was broken when you saw Trey Jones made the play he made at the end of regulation, but you should know that I've been afflicted with pain because of it to. I lost a bet to somebody who said they could not create that play in 15 minutes or less and he did it in 10 minutes and 15 seconds so yesterday I will II finally had that completely paid off. I had to put Christmas lights a Rudolph the red nose reindeer nose and deer antlers on my car for two weeks in February because someone re-created that shots are Tar Heel and I'm sure that hurts. It hurt me someone was able to re-create the trade zone shot. I got to ask you though as a point guard yourself. How many times do you think if you were given to re-create that play would it take for you to do it man I will never outgrow it in a my trying to bounce off with a airball that but I got heated up the ram that way be able to get it back now. I don't think create and I don't think many people can do it right at that way.

I think they just got lucky that day. That lesson for you. Be.he's walking here into the studio now. He does stuff with Greenspan's foreman were to play for the swarm, how to assess his game like how do you think B.would be on the floor me honest. Now come on, he doesn't want you to sugarcoat it, you will barter from the from that given the he got a body type, remind me at five think his game will kind of be like that. His head is now inflated completely.

Joel, we look forward to seeing you next Monday and studio. Thanks for doing this look for. Did you guys and thank you
