So Evita Zubats from the Clippers. I don't know. Is he a big name? So this guy is having an absolutely incredible season. And he's just big, strong, brute player who, I mean, he's been in the league like seven, eight years. It's not like he's unheard of, but he took a leap forward this year. And I think part of it is because like James Harden, does a great job bringing a lot out of centers.

He did this with Clint Capella years ago in Houston. Part of it, I think, is that Harden was the full-time point guard for the full season. But Zubats is just a beast. And I wouldn't say he's had success against Jokic, but out of all the guys who have played Jokic a bunch of times, Zubats has actually been able to check the box and say, I did a good job in this game the most.

So he is going to be front and center in that series. He is been one of the best defensive players in the league. He's a beast on the interior. He doesn't mess around. You know, like we're in this era where everybody and their brother shoots threes. Zoo doesn't do that. Zoo's like, forget about that. I am playing that game. I will come in and I will shoot my 65% on the interior.

So it's a great opportunity for the, the world to kind of be introduced to Zoo. And I don't know, like, again, I don't, Cade Cunningham has been an all-star, but he hasn't been on the, um, sort of the front page. Okay. Cunningham was like a borderline MVP candidate this year. He was so good for the Pistons and the Pistons haven't made the playoffs in like seven years.

So like, and they weren't on national TV a lot. So like, there's a chance again, if you're a casual NBA fan, you haven't really seen Cade Cunningham. So I, I hate to give this to a guy who was an all-star and is going to be on the all NBA team, but I,

I feel like Cade Cunningham, especially playing in New York, playing at the Garden, I think he has a chance to sort of have his profile really elevated.

You remember that happened with Trey Young? Yeah. I mean, Trey Young was a major college star. I mean, I guess Cade was, too. He's the number one overall pick. Yeah. Trey Young went to another level because of that playoff series with the Knicks a few years ago.
