Cason Wallace on His Bigger Role in OKC, Wemby Rivalry & Kiki Rice Almost BEATING Him 1-on-1

NBA Champion Cason Wallace joins The Cousins Show to talk about what’s next for him and the Oklahoma City Thunder as they prepare to defend their title. Cason reflects on becoming an NBA champion so early in his career and how that experience has shaped his mindset heading into a season with even higher expectations. Following Lu Dort’s departure, he talks about stepping into a bigger role for OKC, continuing to develop his game, and embracing the added responsibility that comes with playing for a championship-caliber team.

He also takes us inside the Thunder’s locker room, sharing what makes the chemistry within this young group so special and the impact Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has as both a superstar and leader. Cason explains how SGA’s presence sets the tone for the team and brings out the best in the players around him.The conversation turns to OKC’s growing rivalry with the San Antonio Spurs after their battles throughout the regular season and a hard-fought seven-game Western Conference Finals. Plus, Cason opens up about his relationship with Kiki Rice, what it’s like being with another high-level basketball player, and the competitive side of their relationship — including the 1-on-1 game where Kiki almost handed the NBA champ a loss.

  2. Think of a game of chess
    It's a one on one
    But it consists of all parts
    The King and Queen is primary
    But every piece is on the board
    Think of this as a team
    The legends would have advanced to the championship
    Had you stayed together long enough with this understanding
    Though everyone wanna win
    They might not wanna win with you
    It takes everyone on the team to win a game
    If one teammate make the wrong move
    It could cost the game
    Legends even without this
    You're still at the top of the charts
    Vince you accomplished the greatest of all time dunk as well

  4. For me basketball is always business
    I do not discriminate
    Every team I taught won the championship and made it to the finals
    Then the following year I probably was working with the team I won against
    Then they won
    Not against a former team I won against though
    I never take anything personal in sports of entertainment
    I gotta be paid before I work with anyone else

  7. I have no idea about who this is
    It sounds like rewards from hard work and effort
    In an industry where you have to let your craft prove you belong
    Congrats
    I plan to invest in wnba and college
    Even with just tuning in or present at games to observe
    I'm not into sin or crime
