Uh 70 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: plus seven plus six, yeah, Hachimura plus eighteen la Ravia 71 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: plus twenty one. 72 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: Jackson ays plus twenty six. 73 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 3: Oh that's Luke Cannard in his eight minutes off the 74 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: bench was plus thirteen. 75 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 2: Oh boy, Just to kind of put it. 76 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: In perspective, but to see him that happy, that makes 77 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 3: me feel good. Anybody, Lebron, any athlete, anybody in your world, 78 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 3: when they're smiling to that level, you just can't help 79 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: be like, all right, well, that last rebound was completely bogus, 80 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: and we foreshadowed him by the way he was quote defending. 81 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: He was supposed to. 82 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: Be defending the wing and instead I'm three feet from 83 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: the basket, so I can get this rebound just. 84 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: Completely out to the puck. 85 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: But he gets a real but that smile, that excitement there, 86 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: It's like we all should have five minutes a day 87 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: that we feel like that because he's the giddiest guy 88 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: in the world. Because you're not being asked about defense 89 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: breakdowns and disastrous consequences for a team. No, it's an 90 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: easy win with a triple dope. 91 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: Is this her last year at the Lakers? 92 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 6: No? 93 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: Look, And that's why seeing him talk like this and 94 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: seeing this achievement, this is why Lebron's not hanging it 95 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: up after this year, he's gonna want to play, and 96 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,559 Speaker 1: he's also gonna be a player that when he feels 97 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: himself slipping, he's not gonna go out there and be 98 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: a shadow of who he was. Right Brady thought that, Look, 99 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, Brady could have played another year, but I 100 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: think Tom Brady saw. Man, I'm not throwing the ball 101 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: like I used to. I can't throw it as far 102 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: as I used to. Next year might not be great, 103 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: So I'm getting out, maybe a year early, but I 104 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: know my body. Aaron Rodgers lucked out that this year 105 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: he had enough, didn't want to do it coming off 106 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: of that year with the Jets. Okay, now, hey so 107 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: much so I'm gonna try one more year. But that's 108 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: always dangerous. Lebron is still having dominant performances at the 109 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: age of forty one. He's still enjoying the game. I 110 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: don't know how much he's enjoying this year with the Lakers, 111 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: but in joining where he's sitting right now, he's going 112 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: to keep playing. Right He's as long as you can 113 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: play at this level, he's gonna keep playing. He's not 114 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: gonna walk away when he's not because he's always about 115 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: what is next for me? Right, And I think he's 116 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: probably at the point in his career where he said, 117 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: all right, I might not get another championship. Right, I 118 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: might not get another one. Uh just be just for 119 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: whatever reason. Right, I might be done. It might be 120 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: done getting the finals. The Lakers want to move on 121 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: for me if it's me next year back in Cleveland, 122 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: whatever it is. But now I think Lebron sees I 123 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: can be the guy that not only was hey the 124 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: best player of the last twenty five years, maybe were 125 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: the top three players all time, but I can play 126 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: at a level in my forties that no one's ever 127 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: played at. And I can be the ageless wonder to 128 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: not where I can just play and succeed. Like Julio Franco, 129 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, played in Major League Baseball team. He was 130 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: probably forty seven to forty eight, but he became a 131 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: utility guy. He could hit a little bit. It was 132 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: mile Look what he's doing. But this is on at 133 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: forty one, forty two. That's still a top twenty ish 134 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: player in the NBA. Right, No longer top three player, 135 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 1: no longer the best player, top three player, top five player, 136 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 1: but still a top twenty ish NBA player. He's gonna 137 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: keep playing as long as he can do this, And 138 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: seeing him do this this year, we're into February, middle 139 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: of February. With what he's doing, he's going to play 140 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: another year. I'm again, if he played till forty five, 141 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be surprised. 142 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: Wouldn't be shocked. 143 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: I mean, look, you always mock me for my inclusion 144 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: of Toby Keith lyrics, but you know he's not as 145 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: good as he once was. Clearly, father time takes its 146 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 3: and slaps us all upside the head. My my hairline 147 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,119 Speaker 3: is thinning and is receding, and the hair is getting 148 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: thinner by the day. Is that a Toby Keith leric? 149 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: No? 150 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: Oh, I said the I'm not as good as I 151 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: once was. I thought you as good one kept going 152 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 3: on with Toby Keing just for well. I could add 153 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 3: that one to's about drive. You know that you don't 154 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: let the old man in one of his last songs. 155 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: All of those things, but you have a night like 156 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 3: tonight against a lesser opponent, But you got to play 157 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 3: them all. You gotta play all eighty two where you 158 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: can go out and you can still dominate parts of 159 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: a game. 160 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: For the year. 161 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: He's still shooting fifty percent from the field, and offensively 162 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: it's there. It's just can you cover up defensively if 163 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: you're joining the Cavaliers or whomever else second unit? You know, 164 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: can you keep it even? Is that where he goes 165 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: in his next run? Whatever it is, But still twenty 166 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: two a game, nearly six rebound, seven assists per game. 167 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: You have an impact like here, at least offensively, and 168 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: you give the kids a thrill, and you can say 169 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: you can still sell a lot of tickets. It's a 170 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: lot of asses and seats in some of these marketplaces 171 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: for Lebron James. And clearly when we look at the 172 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: pantheon of what the NBA is, and now we're talking 173 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: about expanding two teams, one of which he may own. 174 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: So that might be when it ends, like if they 175 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: decide an entry date for that Vegas team, might actually 176 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: be the end game for Lebron. But until then, Yeah, 177 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: you watch the NBA night tonight and we lament how 178 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: many players on second units or even rounding out starting fives, like, really, 179 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: that guy, that guy's still in the league. How many 180 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: times do we look at each other in a given 181 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: night with four games up on the boards, going wow, 182 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: I thought that guy retired three years ago. But there 183 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: he is coming off the bench. Insert veteran player of 184 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: a decade ago here. And so for Lebron James, so 185 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 3: long as he's still feeling like he's wanted and physically 186 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: he doesn't fall apart. That's the thing from the last 187 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: couple years. Right, he was a cyborg for about eighteen years, 188 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 3: and now it's a little little chips to it all 189 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: to where he has to miss some times, add the 190 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: load management stuff. As long as he doesn't put his 191 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 3: foot in his mouth, you know, at the microphone, lamenting, 192 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: you know, effort and things like that, and take the 193 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: next night out. Oh wait, nobody cares about that except 194 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: for about five of us. 195 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: No, but look now that Lebron is more about because 196 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: for a long time it was finals, right, Lebron was 197 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: measured by getting to the finals, not just went, but 198 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: getting to the finals. Now all the individual things are 199 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: big things for him. When he can do things again, 200 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: when you can do something that nobody else has ever done, 201 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: no one else has played at forty one forty two 202 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: the way that he is. I remember I remember Kareem. 203 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 2: At the end where it was. 204 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: I think it was like it was like thirty eight, 205 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: thirty nine, and he was still playing great, and the 206 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: first three quarters of games he would have tons of points, 207 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: but you realize that teams were saying, hey, where to 208 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: let you do whatever you want, give you the ball 209 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: the first three quarters, but the fourth quarter you're gonna 210 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: be exhausted and you're not gonna make shots, and we're 211 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: gonna wind up winning like this was Kareem near the end. 212 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: This is Lebron still able to do this, and and 213 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go out with this being his 214 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: last year with the Lakers. He's not going to retire 215 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: being pushed aside and pushed out because the Lakers want 216 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: to build around Luca and Austin Reeves and whatever else 217 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: they need to get around. Looka, they're gonna use that 218 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars and they're paying him now to finish 219 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: the roster around him. 220 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: Again. 221 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: I feel much better about the Lakers for next year 222 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: because they can actually finish what they need to do 223 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, Lucas now in position to succeed. 224 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 7: Right. 225 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: Lebron's also, he's not gonna go out like that coming 226 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: off of this, not gonna go out of Hey bye, everybody. 227 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: I guess I'll retire now, that's gonna be it. No, 228 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna want to do it on his terms. He's 229 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: not leaving the Lakers on his terms. It's not happening now. 230 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: The Cavaliers, clearly that's number one, especially if they fall 231 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: short this year in the East. Hey we bring Lebron 232 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: back all of a sudden. It's a big fun a. 233 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: He's helping Donovan Mitchell become a great leader. And but 234 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: there could be another destination for him as well, because 235 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: if he finishes this year strong and it's man, he 236 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: still has it goes okay. I can see Miami saying, 237 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: all right, Lebron, we're starting over again. 238 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: Hey, come on back and finish here. Why not? Right? 239 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: He loved playing in Miami. Pat Riley would say, oh, hey, y'all, 240 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: it's all good. I know I said all about you 241 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: when you left, and if you got the guts, you'll stay. 242 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: Now there are other teams that will take him as 243 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: long as he is still playing at this level and 244 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: if he's having fun, he wants to go out. When 245 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: you are motivated to continue to do it and to 246 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: call the shots how you're gonna leave. 247 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: It's not gonna be light. It's not gonna be after 248 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: this year at the Lakers, just isn't. 249 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, we all hope to be able to go out 250 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: on our own terms, and in most cases that's not 251 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: the case. And certainly in sports, you know, very rarely 252 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 3: do you get to ride off into the sunset on 253 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: the heels of a big title run. 254 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: For Lebron. 255 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: That would have been the funniest thing. He's laughing and 256 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: joking with everybody about his body and his mentals and 257 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: just said, okay, all Star break, I'm done. We'll celebrate 258 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 3: me here in LA this weekend. I'll see all in 259 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: l But he could play another three years at this level. 260 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you're only playing one end of the court. Sorry, 261 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: even if you did collect a bunch of defensive redouns, 262 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: we gotta call it what it is. 263 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 2: But it's good for the game, right. 264 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 3: You need the stars to hang around the fact that 265 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: you still have Steph filling up the stat sheet. Kevin Durant, 266 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 3: we talk about him and his brilliance this year at 267 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 3: James Hardens and all these other elder states, but one 268 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 3: I don't feel as old. But dude, they're actually still 269 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: playing well, and. 270 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: You know what, I wouldn't be surprised. Okay, I would 271 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: not be surprised. You talk about this for Lebron James. 272 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: Remember a few years ago when he went to the 273 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: five and all of a sudden it was wow, Wow, 274 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: Lebron's playing the five for a few weeks and it 275 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: was man, he is doing some Now. This is obviously 276 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: him in his mid to late thirties and not being 277 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: forty one, but he really showed that with his movement, 278 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: his ability, everything else. He goes to the five and 279 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: he plays great. So now we have seen him as 280 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: a small forward, power forward, we've seen him as a 281 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: point guard, we saw him as a five a little bit. 282 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised. 283 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: If his next team that's what he does and he 284 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: plays the five, we will positionless NBA. 285 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: You can do that now. 286 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: But he plays down low and you know, still be 287 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: you know, six', nine not quite the size of other, 288 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: guys but still his skill level way better than a 289 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: lot of.

Time but this Is. Wemby wemby affects the 521 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: game so many different, ways so many different. Nights he 522 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: could have scored one hundred the other night against The. 523 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: Lakers there's nights where he could have had seventeen to 524 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: twenty assists in a game if he kept moving the 525 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: ball around the way he. Does like nobody affects the 526 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: game the Way wemby.

REBOUNDER i got to 531 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: keep him from scoring twenty eight thirty. Five but it doesn't. 532 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: Matter look at the difference in The spurs from last 533 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: year to this. Year they haven't had any big additions 534 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: right that have come in Saying, hey this, year first new, 535 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: Year harper come, in but he's coming off the, bench 536 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: and you know it projects to be a great player 537 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: at some. Point and they're certainly deep. Enough But, WEMBY 538 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: i mean, again he by the end of this, year 539 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna be well regarded as the best player in the. 540 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: League wemby's second right. Now SO i love about this. 541 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 3: Squad the way they're built is the depth and the 542 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 3: ability to roll things.
