No, it's lethal, 661 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. But I watched this man. The 662 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 6: reason why I made that statement on Mellow is I've 663 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 6: been watching basketball a long time. I've never seen nobody 664 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 6: have that variety of offense as a big man as you. 665 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
