All the time.
You know, it's really interesting watching television today.
People act like tanking and flopping or something new.
Teens have always tanked.
They got to do something about it, but teens have always tanked and guys have always flopped.
I mean, you go back to, guys are screaming
Halfway through their shot or they're flailing their arms out.
So there's always been that.
Listen, I will admit I've never seen anything like that last night where an entire team go around the refs.
I've never seen that in my, I'm close to 50 years now.
I'd never seen that in my life where a whole team go around referees after the game.
That was pretty interesting.
Okay, but what message can you give to the officials in a situation like that that the Lakers found themselves in?
I don't think that can help them in any capacity because now the referees are going to be like, well, if we start calling fouls for the Lakers, they're going to think that tactic worked.
So I didn't see any positives about that, to be honest with you.
But like I say, because refs, you know, athletes and refs always lie about, I don't read the newspaper, I don't watch television.
Stop lying.
Yes, you do.
And the refs are going to be like, now, if we come out and give the Lakers all these calls, the media are going to be saying the little hijack thing worked.
So I don't see anything positive out of it, to be honest with you.
