Pre-Game 20-Mile Bike Ride Disclosure
Smac explains sitting on the sidelines that he rode 20 miles on an e-bike with a dead battery prior to the game.
During a break in play at 12:08, Smac sits on the court sideline to address his visible fatigue. He explains to the camera and surrounding players that he completed a 20-mile bike ride right before arriving at the court. He notes that the ride stretched from Pacific Palisades and Malibu down to Venice, made significantly more taxing because the e-bike battery died mid-trip.
At 12:35, Keem reacts to Smac's story, pointing out that riding a heavy electric bicycle without power assistance requires extreme physical effort. Smac uses this context to justify why he is taking breathers between possessions rather than running full speed down the court at 13:10.
Despite the exhaustion, Smac re-enters the game at 14:15, attempting to pace his energy while maintaining his defensive assignments. The conversation shifts back to court strategy as Team Apollo attempts to regain momentum.
