So it's not like, you know, that's where this idea that it's like, if, well, all our best athletes played soccer, I'll be different.

I'm not sure that would necessarily be the case.

Yeah.

It's just, I mean, I don't know, like you can use Anthony Edwards as this example.

So like, let's say, let's say we lived in Norway and we were like, well, we want to challenge the world at basketball.

So we look at our basketball players and then they look at the Norwegian basketball players and they're like, why don't you guys carry yourself like Anthony Edwards?

In the course of your life, they have gotten better.
