"I learned a lot of things in middle school and thanks to the help of some friends I managed to get two companies to sponsor me, I am a friend of the owners of these companies until today and so I managed to start dreaming of playing in the NBA."

"After a few years of playing basketball and training a lot I realized that I had a lot of resistance, I always ran all these years as training to improve my resistance, so one day I thought about trying to run 40 km to see if I could do it."

"After a few weeks of training I managed to run 40 km and I wanted to see if I could run 45 km, after a long time I did it too and so I wanted to know if I could run faster and in less time 45 km."

"So I realized that I was able to run the distance of a marathon in very good time, but I was not sure if the time I set myself was right and I decided to run my first marathon, thinking only of completing the marathon."

"I managed to enroll in the Chicago marathon and decided to run as fast as I could to get the best place in the marathon, in the end, I ended up winning and so I realized I had a talent for it."

Jake told the story how it really happened that he started running marathons, of course, he really started running marathons because he had the system to help him and because of the system he knew he had a chance to run the marathon before even running.

Jay Leno and the people in the audience who didn't hear Jake tell this story elsewhere were impressed by this story, especially since Jake made it look like the things he did were easy to do.

After winning the first marathon I started wanting to run more marathons and when the time for the Olympics came I managed to qualify for the Olympics and then I won the marathon and won my first gold medal."

"After winning this marathon I had more confidence and ran many other important marathons and was lucky to win all the marathons that I participated in after the Olympics."

"This is really impressive, Jake, you said you started running after realizing that you had a lot of resistance in basketball training, you played basketball very well at North Carolina on the Tar Heels team as we all know."

"And now you're playing well on the Los Angeles Lakers team at just 20 years old, what is it like for you to have basketball and still be a marathon runner?"

"As I said I love basketball since I was very young, I wanted to play to give my mom and me a better future, I was lucky to have friends and get sponsorship from a very early age."

"I always trained a lot to be able to play well, I naturally was not always a skilled player, I had since I was a young talent to do mid-range shots and three-point shots, but even with my talent, I trained thousands of shots three points every week. "

"To improve in defense and to get rebounds, to make assists I trained a lot and continued training to be a better player, I am very happy to see that this training paid off and that I am in the NBA and fulfilled one of my dreams."

Jake finished speaking and was applauded again by the audience, Jake was a little embarrassed about it and Jay Leno continued the interview by asking some funny questions and saying fun things as he did well.

Jake also knew how to be funny and answered the questions in a funny way too, Jay Leno stopped the interview for the show's director to take the break and after that stop, Jay Leno finally started talking about the movie.

"Jake, last year you acted in your second film, this time as one of the main characters in the film, it is the film The Matrix that will open later this month, what did you think about acting in this film?"

"I was surprised at the invitation to participate in this great film with excellent actors, the directors Wachowskis invited me and I was very happy because I had only made a cameo in a film before."

"I was very happy to participate in this film, I always enjoyed watching films and acting as well, I had some opportunities recording commercials and participating in the film Jerry Maguire, now I had the opportunity to participate in the film The Matrix."

"It seems to be a great movie, in the last few weeks I received here on the show Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne who talked about the film, but talk a little about the film."

"This is the film about the world of the Matrix where things seem real, but they are not really, I don't know if I can talk about more things because I can give spoilers for the film, it's a film that has a great story, good characters, martial arts, science fiction and also excels in special effects."

"So I think this is going to be a film that is going to revolutionize the way that action films are going to be made and the audience will like it too."

"Talking about the fight scenes, Keanu was here and praised you a lot saying that you stood out in the fight scenes and that you had several months of training to be able to record the fight scenes, how was that?"

"Yes, me and the other actors did several months of training with martial arts director Yuen Woo-ping, Woo-ping is a really good teacher and taught me a lot of things in a few months."

"I was lucky to be an athlete and so I just had to start learning to fight, the other actors also had to improve their physical condition to endure the long fights."

"But all the actors did very well in the fight scenes Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Hugo Weaving were excellent, Woo-ping was able to create a different style for all the actors, you will see incredible scenes with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in that film."

"Not to mention that Keanu did the fight scenes while having a health problem that prevented him from moving around so much, everyone struggled for almost 1 year to make this incredible film."

Jake spoke very well of the film even though he did not prepare for it and without even saying much of the plot of the film because he did not want to give spoilers about the film to anyone who was going to watch, Jay Leno was also impressed how Jake looked comfortable in the interview as some artists who have been on his program several times.

Jake could speak very well about the film because he had already seen the film several times in his past life, in addition, Jake had also read several comments about the film made by critics and fans of the film.

So Jake could speak better of how good the film was than the directors who saw the film several times after editing it, so the audience that was watching the interview also started to have more interest in the film.

After some more time the interview ended and Jake left the program applauded by the audience, Jake was happy to have participated in this interview and he hoped to have helped the film to be an even bigger success.

One thing Jake didn't know was that Warner Bros had some doubts about whether the movie would be a success before, so after Jake became one of the NBA's biggest stars this season, Warner Bros decided to invest a lot more money in advertising.

So the movie The Matrix would have a lot more publicity than it did in Jake's past life, this could help attract an even bigger audience to watch the movie while the movie was being shown in the cinema.

Jake knew this was possible because, in his past life, Jake remembered that everyone he knew had ever seen The Matrix and most people liked it, of course, that was why the film was shown on television afterward a few years.

After Jake left Fiona Apple joined the program and Jake waited for the program to end to say goodbye to everyone and go to his house, the recorded program would air on television after two days.

After a few more minutes the show ended and Jake said goodbye to Jay Leno, Fiona Apple, and the people in the show's production and left, Jake wanted to go to his house to get a good rest for the game the next day.

As soon as Jake got home David Falk called him asking how the show had been, David was happy to know that the interview had been good, Jake's commercial with Gatorade was going to start showing on television and that interview would be a good one advertising.

Adidas also had the commercials that Jake recorded prepared, but they would have to wait for Jake's branded sneakers to be released to start showing the commercials on television stations.

David told Jake that in the coming weeks he would have to record a commercial whenever the Los Angeles Lakers team had no games, Jake still had commercials for Chevrolet, Pepsi and Gillette to record in those weeks.

Jake knew he had these responsibilities and agreed to do these commercials whenever he could, Jake didn't like to miss the team's training, so he would talk to these companies to start recording early in the morning.

Jake knew that if he missed the team's training for 3 days in a few weeks, coach Rambis would not like it, Jake knew that Dennis Rodman was heavily criticized for missing some training and being late sometimes.

Fortunately, even though Dennis was still late in training and missed a few games, as the Los Angeles Lakers team was beating coach Rambis he didn't care much about it, Jake also missed some training and this made Coach Rambis's treatment of Dennis less rigid.

Jake also thought it was better if Dennis Rodman could continue playing for the Lakers team at least until the end of this season, after all, Dennis was an excellent player who helped the team in several games.
