He's getting the usage rate, and he is also an excellent player in the league, and they won the championship because they have two excellent players, one of whom was decided to be the second option on that team because it all rotates around Tatum.

I agree.

Derek White has also been excellent with that team, and I won't dispute what it is that you're saying, that Tatum's numbers statistically in these championship moments are down.

I will tell you that the team has no chance of winning with Jalen Brown as its number one option, anything meaningful.

Like, they can surprise you, they can be better.

No.

They did.

No, he was not their No.

1 option.

He was the one who played better.

The usage rate was still Tatum's, Mike.

Everything was being game-planned around slowing and stopping Tatum, and Jalen Brown was ready and willing and able to eat in that circumstance.

And the same is true of Zaslow.

Guys, please look up for me.

I have not looked at his numbers, but what Jason Tatum is averaging over the last couple of years and what his efficiencies are, because you're being really disrespectful with your biases.

You don't have to think he's as good as he thinks he is, but you can't make Jason Tatum a second-tier player and be taken credibly in your opinions on basketball.

But to be clear, I am pleased with some of the progress we are making both in America and on this show.

You are willing, after this very difficult hour that we've had together, you are willing to try and get everyone around the movement of when someone on television is yelling about someone choking in a big spot, you're willing to come with me and just explain that was really hard thing they were trying to do and we shouldn't be this critical.

100%.

I know Levitard very well.
