You want Olajuwon because he can score every single time.

Well, I don't know at 22 I'm taking Olajuwon over Wemby, but at 28, I don't know what Wemby's going to be.

Look, Olajuwon's one of my favorite players, underrated.

But yes, would I take him at his peak?

Yes.

But I don't know what Wemby's peak is yet, to be fair to him.

Well, remember that 86 final with Olajuwon, what was that, his rookie year?

Second year, he was great.

I mean, when he went up against Bird, he went up against the Walton frontcourt with Parrish, McHale, and Bird, and he had a great series.

Listen, I do think that we have a tendency, the 25-year-old who wouldn't know Red Holtzman from Red Auerbach.

I do think we have a tendency to overrate recency bias and it drives me a little crazy.

I think that's where all this comes from.

So as a result, I'm going to put all the Wemby immortal great player we've ever seen.

I'm going to put him aside.

And the other thing about Wemby, play a little cleaner.

All right?

We saw the elbow in the Minnesota game.

That was nasty.

We saw the thing last night with Brunson.

That was out of line.
