The Pacers facility is pretty nice too 👀⬇️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnabapqCr9RgptU

Props and respect to the OG right here. He’s on top of everything, has pride and passion in his work.

[@joshp9667]

Thought the equipment manager was about 30 lol dude been around decades

[@DirectedXDW]

dude mustve found the fountain of youth lol

[@johnm8237]

Donte Washington lifting heavy weights is the fountain of youth for real!!

[@aoclive6710]

+John M and eating right and getting sleep , don't want to be a weight lifter with a big gut power lifter style

Joshua Perez blididiack don’t crack...even dem lightskin nigga-aahs

[@brandterrell1578]

Bro thought the same thing

[@LamborghiniMarce]

That was probably the best video I’ve ever seen in my goddamn life. The equipment manager seems extraordinarily likeable and genuine. The host, too.

[@realsmokethagoat]

25 years in Orlando ? How old is this man ??

[@dadumbfuck420]

Um Probably 45

[@pjeezymane]

He's 37. He was a ball boy for the Magic at 12.

[@ajantsmith6139]

He's 44 years old

[@Flyonstupid]

Oooh, that handshake reject though

[@tre.jluster2574]

Arjun Warrier Lol he had to play it off like he was just holding his hand out there

[@squidincsquid]

Could be the OCD

[@bootyclapmafia]

he played it off clean tho, as far as getting rejected on a handshake goes

[@CassiusOvO]

Lmao he made it look like a handshake wasn't his intention

[@Swisscranmer]

I didn't even notice it tbh.

[@SamuraiChris78]

Dude don't look a day over thirty and he was with Orlando for 25 years? Damn, bro got some good genes!!!

[@pjeezymane]

BecauseICan he 37. Was a ballboy when he was 12.

[@godsgrace4519]

Might have gotten there when he 5 years old lol

[@RyanJS08]

Been waiting for this! Great work as always!

God bless Kiel, product of the H and you’re making the world better with your views & perspective. Keep it up boss man

[@AaronRussell1]

Man the difference between the college and pro tours are wild. All these colleges got state of the art facilities and all kinds of resources for every player, coach, manager, and staffer. Plus the college guys sound more in control and like their working with jewels rather then jerseys and shoes. The pro guys have to deal with meh locker rooms and facilities, treated more like a servant to the player's needs rather than a resource, and seem like they have little grip on the department. Sounds about like the diff between college and pro, once players get their check the difference shows. Whole lotta difference.

[@jessealexander9852]

I want to see what his wife looks like! This guy has genes of a Saiyan. Aging super slow.

[@Ssv-pt3st]

He is 37 actually, said he was working as a ball boy since he was 12, so you do the math.

[@anasshahid224]

Love these tours of NBA Facilities 🙌😃

Very cool to see from a big Hornets fan in England, what great facilities! #Hornetsforever# #Drippinginteal# #GoodtimesaheadfortheCharlotteHornets#

[@heytres]

How do you get a job like this !?

[@powergamesandsports1]

Looks like Kyle aged 20 years older, made gains, and decided to have a dope job by being an NBA team's equipment manager.

[@1RicoStunna]

This looks like a pretty fun job !

[@coldwater7774]

That looks like a tough job, always something to do 24 hours a day.

Wow I bet that's a great job to have,I would like to be around the nba atmosphere and I'm a sneaker head been that way for 35 year's now ,I'll send my resume.

[@jakedurbin9514]

That dude could tell if I was in that shirt room I would take ab 10 of everything and I’m not even a hornets fan🤣

[@carlos-kd9qk]

Come to Milwaukee

[@d.felixphoto2260]

Damn it's crazy looking at this now after watching all the College ones you've done. The NBA equipment rooms are a after thought. He had jerseys in regular bins and had to make his own shoe storage shelves. They did him dirty compared to what big colleges have.

[@tjthegreat7]

that's cause they pay their players

[@d.felixphoto2260]

@@tjthegreat7 what's that got to do with it? I mean I understand they have excess money in college and it's got to go somewhere but you would think the league would be top notch everything. Nothing should be a step back. They have far more money then college

[@MegaZack61]

@@d.felixphoto2260 Well paying players has to do alot with it cuz when you sign someone for 150 million for 5 years, that's alot of money but you dont sign just 1 player for that amount of money you usually sign multiple players in the ball park of 80 million. Plus with these Colleges cuz they dont have to pay their students. They can use all that money to basicly also advertise on how great their equipment is so that in the future more big time prospects will sign with them. While with the NBA the players generally dont give a fk. Cuz if you get signed for let's say 80 million 4 years, you really not gonna be like oh damn I wish this cabinet had automatic sensory doors or whatever.

[@d.felixphoto2260]

@@MegaZack61 yes they are paying players but trust and belive they aren't running on slim margins. Lol. NBA teams bring in more then colleges and the facility is a representation of the owner. You hear all the time players saying Mark Cuban is the best owner because everything is always top of the line or forward thinking. Look at what Golden State built? That place has everything thought to perfection. These are billionaire owners who's multiple homes have every amenity.
