So first of all, I just want to say I'm so happy you made a baseball reference. I never go on a basketball podcast and fail to be the first one to make the baseball reference. So I'm so happy that you did it for me.

That's right. You know what's funny? You know how I got that anecdote about pacing? I was like trying to figure out the pacing and how they got there. And you know how I got that out of... like Dwayne Washington, I got him to open up on it, was I made an analogy and I was like, tell me if you agree or disagree. I was like, I feel like most elite NBA point guards are more like Randy Johnson.

where they're just going to blow you away. 97 mile an hour, fastball giant size, giant size, 97 mile an hour, fastball mix in just a power slider. Like they, that's how most NBA start point guards play. Shea is like Greg Maddox. And where he's just he's ninety one, ninety two on the fastball, but he's just going to paint corners and everything is precision, accuracy and intelligence.

And I made that analogy and he wasn't a baseball fan, so it didn't work. But then I explained the analogy to him. And he was like, oh, yes, 100%. Funny enough. And it got him to open up.

That's all I want. What's the next thing? Let's talk about.

Well, honestly, I think he needs to use a sweeper. I really think he needs to add that. Old school pitchers just have the curveball and the slider. He needs the sweeper. Maybe he could sneak in a spitball if he can get it by the umpires. What can he do to get better? You look at his shot breakdown, and what's really interesting, he takes about 20 shots a game.

And he's about five in the restricted area, five in the paint, non-restricted area, five mid range and five threes. That's approximately the breakdown. So when you really talk about, and I'm a big believer that we should talk about four level scorers. not three level scores. Cause there's a difference between the long two and the short mid range. There's a huge, huge difference.
