You know, a month and a half ago or so, J.B.

Biggerstaff, when they had lost to Utah, and then they lost to the Clippers before we kind of realized, oh, no, the Clippers are on this run.

And they lost those two games, and J.B.

Biggerstaff, instead of having some sort of intense practice where you could think he could have Coach Cartered it, instead he went the opposite direction.

He canceled practice.

He took the team to the campus at UCLA because they were still in Los Angeles and had them play a game of soccer against each other, even though a bunch of guys—

That was after.

That was later.

I wouldn't be able to get that because the first rule of Pistons Fight Club is that nobody tells the reporters about Fight Club.

Yeah.

They left, they left stuff on the table.

Like there's something, there's something there, but like they, they want to get competitive.

They just played them in a game of soccer.

And apparently that game got relentlessly competitive.

They do a beach volleyball tournament every summer.

Tobias Harris organizes and they get unbelievably competitive apparently with like the whole organization, like the PR staff plays and apparently the trash talk.

to the PR staff is just insane and stuff that nobody will really repeat.

And so I understand that it's great that a young team can foster that sort of culture.

That's awesome.

When you have guys who get competition and care about competition to that level, to where they're competitive about everything, it's a great way to start an awesome culture.
