Matisse Thybulle Rumors

Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: When you’re locked in on defense, is it more about raw physical instinct, or are you playing a mental chess match with your opponent? Matisse Thybulle: I think it’s a little bit of both. I think a lot of it is instinct that you accumulate over years like, it’s understanding how the game is going to go or knowing guys’ tendencies. And the other part is trying to read people. I’m willing to take more in situations and know that I have the upper hand intellectually where I feel that I know what they’re trying to do even though that they’re not telegraphing it and then playing out of that, I have an upper hand that they may not realize.

Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: You were one of the first to really lean into the “vlog” style in the Bubble. When you look at guys like Jared McCain having such a viral presence on social media now, how do you reflect on your own digital journey? Matisse Thybulle: I do appreciate the baby steps that me and some of the other guys took in COVID-19 during the bubble and all that; as far as putting ourselves out there in social media in new and unique ways I think it paved the way for kids like him go and take up such a viral presence on TikTok and whatever apps out there. Me personally, I feel like I did my thing and I don’t really want to get more out of I don’t want that kind of attention anymore so it’s nice to see other people doing it in their way and getting the attention they want for it.

Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: You’ve developed a real passion for photography. Does having that outlook behind the camera help you proportion the views of life as an NBA player? Matisse Thybulle: Just having a life outside of basketball. It’s a good balancing agent, and not just of life but hobbies. I think for a long time it was encouraged that guys didn’t have passion outside of basketball because some people believed that whatever you weren’t pouring into basketball was energy or attention lost but for me it’s allowed me to get more because when I can step away and completely step away, I think I can gain more as far was what I can bring when I come back into the game. So whether it’s photography, videos, painting, writing… Having these outlets helped me reset in a way where I feel that I show up better for basketball.
