The interview began with a rundown of Hess' work with the Nuggets players during the offseason. "We work 24/7 to try and make these guys better. They're amazing," Hess remarked.

Hastings and Marlowe asked Hess how the rookies have been adapting to his challenging workouts. "Both Tyler and Monte have done a really good job of staying in shape," said Hess, "these guys were in such good shape that we were able to rock right where we were with the guys that have been doing it."
Hess recounted his trip to Serbia with Hastings and Marlowe and his reasoning for making the trek. "We want to get Joker just stronger, faster...ability to move a little bit better."
