Nice.

What about college to NBA transition?

Very tough.

It was more so on the business side, I think, just trying to figure out, you know, how to have a long career and not just, you know, have a two- or three-year career, but have like a 10-, you know, 12-year career.

Right.

And back then when your era, they valued the vets, right?

So they would trade them over the new guys.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Vets were always playing.

The rookies were never playing.

So it was very hard as a rookie to get on the court unless you went to a terrible team when they knew you had a lot of playing time.

Now I feel like it's the opposite, right?

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Yeah, there's no vets hardly.

There's no coaching, no one to really show you the game or give you the wisdom or knowledge.

The stuff that they learn, I feel like you got to go out and search for it.

Right.

I feel like there should be a middle ground there.

Yeah, there should be.

I definitely think there should be more vets because, like I said, it makes the league better.
