Moody, Perkins discuss infamous draft-night name snafu

Share

No. 14 overall draft pick Moses Moody joined Grant Liffmann and Kendra Andrews on Dubs Talk Live to discuss his performance in the Warriors’ Summer League loss to the Magic on Monday night.

The Warriors selected Moses Moody with the No. 14 overall pick in last month's NBA draft.

A viral moment ensued shortly thereafter:

Moody joined ESPN's show "The Jump" on Tuesday afternoon, and the following interaction took place:

Rachel Nichols: "When Perk called your name -- or several versions of your name -- what was your reaction?"

Moody: "[Laughter] It was funny. Everybody was sending it to me. It was a running joke [and it is] still going on."

Perkins: "At the end of the day, you were going to make a household name for yourself anyways. But I think I just added a little spice. Now you're a household name. Everybody knows who Moses Moody is -- even my grandmother."

Moody: "[Laughter] Yeah, for sure."

Moody through two Summer League games is averaging 17.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.0 minutes, while shooting 44.4 percent from 3-point range.
