Yeah.
Well I think Hakeem is the classic example of just the late the late basketball player and played other sports and then you take the learnings from those other sports.
But
I also think about the the sort of under uh appreciated gym rat who is undersized or doesn't have the tools or is trying to play basketball his whole life and is just constantly told he's not good enough, Austin Reeves, just like, Yeah, I mean you're okay.
You you're good you're good enough to like maybe play some high school, maybe play some college, maybe play some D one college, maybe play some high major transfer team.
D one college, maybe get drafted in the NBA, maybe make a roster spot.
And it just when you look into his history
It's just sort of like, oh no, the dude has just been grinding like a basketball psycho for like thirteen straight years and that's why he keeps getting better.
So maybe that's part of that an another pathway off the court.
I did want to ask you a question about Quaintance though.
But isn't that is doesn't that go back into the Jalen Brunson bucket bucket, right?
Of like players who are succeeding at a certain level, but then are told you cannot translate to the next level.
And I don't want to poo poo that idea.
Like I no nobody thought Christian Leitner was going to be a worse NBA player than Young Ben.
You know, uh he actually made an all star team.
It was a very interesting kind of stretch big for the era.
But just that I mean maybe there are
better examples from Duke, just that very, very successful player at one level who you don't think are gonna have the tools to translate.
Well let me ask you a question about
TJ McConnell.
