It's a pretty good point.

Yeah, but even their running up and down, not taking it seriously 15 years ago was a much higher level than what's happened before.

What I mean by that is when you watch people play basketball, typically, it doesn't matter what the stakes are.

There's a guy trying to do something offensively, and then there's another guy trying to stop him defensively.

right what we got in the last few years was a guy trying to do something offensively the guy on defense said go right ahead i don't care you know and it started i always said the watershed moment for me was in new orleans i want to say 2017. yannis is coming down the court and steph curry lies down on the court like he's on defense like oh you know what i don't want any parts of this and he lies flat down and i said it's funny it's a haha moment but

it's triggered things where people are like, yeah, we don't have to do anything.

Let's just make it a layup line.

And that's the difference.

We want a basketball game, not a layup line.

It doesn't have to be game seven, but we need at least a basketball game.
