I mean, it's not strange in the sense of the alley-oops and the pick-and-rolls.

I understand what Imei's doing.

I definitely get it.

But it's hard for me to say, okay, this is a head-to-head matchup, Shang-Goon versus Durin, or this is a head-to-head matchup, Shang-Goon versus Wemby, when, you know, Shang-Goon doesn't defend those players.

It's just an interesting, different time.

Yeah.

You know, this is not, you know, Robinson versus Akeem or Ewing versus Akeem anymore.

It's a different, the NBA has changed so much.

Yeah.

It's funny you say that because somebody had sent me a friend, kind of more of a casual NBA fan, sent me the Vince Carter dunk over Frederick Weiss in the Olympics way back when.

I can't remember when it was.

But he sent me the whole clip and I was watching it and I was kind of thinking, these are some of the best we had.

And they're moving kind of slow compared to some of the games that I see right now.

And I love 80s and 90s basketball and early 2000s, so I'm not blasting any era.

But it has gotten so insanely athletic.

Defense is very tough.

So it's a really good point.

I want to give one other shout-out, Ja'Sean Tate, tonight.

I thought, you know, with no Tari and no DFS tonight, second game of a back-to-back, both those guys resting, I thought Tate played pretty well.

Just won a four from the field, nothing super special.
