I've been doing basketball all day. I got to do something else at night. And then there are the guys like Kevin Durant who go home every day. And you met Dave, you mentioned John Wall. John was like this, who just go home. And if there is a basketball game on, I don't care if it is a third grade youth league game that just happens to be televised and it's in Des Moines, Iowa.
Kevin Durant will find that game and put it on and be like, that kid's footwork on the back ends of pick and rolls is a disaster. And like Kevin Durant will watch that game. You know, he's just that obsessed and that in love with the game. I think Jokic is watching a lot of games and Christian Brown is like that.
