And Halliburton realizing, wait a minute, is this me who's not going to play?

It really feels like the Pacers in the finals was seven million years ago because of how bad they are, just because he got hurt.

So obviously that Olympic team was great.

He was not the only one hurt by not playing.

Here's Jason Tatum on the pivot telling a similar story.

I've got some more Tatum sound here that I want to add to that because Tatum has given voice to the idea a couple of different times that he's not properly appreciated, not properly regarded by history, even though he's obviously a champion and an excellent player who has grown over the last few years before getting injured.

What do you think of life?

He's not wrong that if he had won a championship in Memphis, that is the kind of thing that gets you at a franchise.

That point that he's making is a good one, that if you're a championship-less franchise, the standard is obviously going to be higher

Okay.

He is.

Look, Jason Tatum is one of the five.

Look, you guys are being really insulting, okay?

You can't just say flatly Jalen Brown is better than Jason Tatum.

You can't say it flatly.

You cannot.

Jalen Brown has always benefited from the fact that every team is game planning for Jason Tatum.

The game plan on Jalen Brown was take him to his left, take him to his left.

You can't do that with Tatum.

That is correct.
