From the Point by Trae Young

Three Oklahoma Sooner hoops greats in one place!

On this very special episode of "From the Point by Trae Young," recorded at the second annual From the Point Weekend in Norman, Oklahoma, Trae and Winston sit down with two of the most exciting young stars in the game: New Orleans Pelicans lottery pick Jeremiah Fears and Oklahoma freshman phenom Aaliyah Chavez.

First up, they talk with Aaliyah about her recruiting process, where she gets her confidence, how she ended up in a commercial for the new Kobes, and more. 

Then, Jeremiah pulls up to talk about his time at OU, reclassifying in high school, NBA Draft night, and his goals for this season for himself and the Pelicans. 

Plus, Aaliyah and Jeremiah get to ask Trae some questions and soak up some game!
