Going from undrafted to playing his way through summer league into an All Star Point Guard and NBA Champion with Toronto Raptors, Fred VanVleet tested the free agency waters and landed himself a $130M contract with the Houston Rockets and is sitting down with Ryan, Fred and Channing to talk about his journey and what’s next.
Sharing his story about how at age 5 VanVleet’s life changed after his father was killed and struggling with the pressures of not going down same path and creating a different life for him, VanVleet has always approached the game of basketball with a chip on his shoulder and betting on himself.
This approach led him to score the most points in a championship game by an undrafted player in the 2019 NBA finals and help lead his team to a title.
Struggling with the choice to stay in Toronto or have a fresh start with a struggling franchise, VanVleet accepted the challenge to start over in a new city and hopes to make an immediate impact as a leader with the young Rockets’ roster.
Ryan asks him what he does for fun and if he ever smiles, as he’s known for his serious all work attitude but as usual Channing and the guys get him to break the ice and share a few laughs and stories.
New episodes of the Pivot every Tuesday at Noon est and Fridays at 3:30p est.

Houston went hard this off season 👏 much credit to them can't wait to see what they do, they may be better than Dallas
Best POD out ❤❤❤
May God bless the pivot podcast!!!!
Freddie Gonna Get Houston Right….Don't Focus on his Money….Focus on the Fact that Freddie a Dawg on that Court…With those Young Pups…Get James Back… Houston #3 in the Standings come Playoff Time….Bet That 💰💰💰✌🏾👑😎🤑
Getting him and Dillon Brooks is well worth the money. Imagine if we had signed James Harden to the same contract we know he will come back out of shape and not be applied to the game at least with these two guys we know they are going to instill a defensive and competitive mindset to the squad.🙏
One day I will make a fraction of his 130 million salary. I will get there
My Guy FVV fried.🤣 🍃
If he is one of the team leaders, it will be interesting to see how Houston shapes up with the new and old players.
I coached his older brother in JUCO. I know the entire family. Great people
815 Rockford stand up!!!!! Support this man
Send'n Fruitful Friday Vibes Y'all Way☆♡☆♡☆♡☆

Great episode man. As a raptors fan I’m sad to see him go. And I love how he speaks about his time there. But it was time for him to move on. He’s a dog, can’t wait to see what he does next
