Just the nature of sports right now is swing for the fence at all times.
And you go watch basketball games.
Again, I go watch my 8-year-old son play basketball games.
The coach of the best teams, the best coaches are hoisting three-pointers, 8 years old.
And, you know, if you watch the Celtics play, the Celtics are a team that could win the championship this year.
I don't think they're a favorite, but they are the Eastern favorite.
And basically their games are decided by whether they hit threes or not.
Yeah, correct.
So if you're talking about the idea β now, it's different from the philosophy of whether it's good for the game.
That's a different discussion.
I loved β for example, I loved last night Joel Embiid played old-school basketball.
He couldn't hit an outside shot.
It was an elimination game.
So he's like, when all else fails, let me do something insane.
Let me turn my back as a 7'3 guy and catch entry passes and shoot off the block.
And all of a sudden, he started making baskets on the interior.
I think he made something like seven right baskets in and around the paint in the second half.
They started bringing double teams, and then he started passing the ball out because that's the way the game is meant to be played.
You create three-point shots from the inside out.
And I loved watching.
