Tiger, he outworked everybody.
And Mike, so I think we sometimes downplay the work ethic because we just rely on the lazy, well, they're just more talented than everybody.
They say to God-given talent.
Did they have...
Absurd talent, yes, but they outworked the other players.
There's nobody in the NBA that can't play.
These guys can all play, but they can't all work the way LeBron works now, the way Kobe did, the way Michael did, the way the elite players in the league did.
Tim Duncan was the same way.
You didn't see it.
There wasn't the flair and everything like that.
He just outworked people.
And on top of that, was a great talent and was a great competitor.
Duncan never said anything.
You know what's funny, DP?
Not a good sense of humor.

Tremendous teammate.
Everybody always says, you know, yeah, I don't want to do interviews, but more than half of the people really do.
