And it was, you know, maybe by a couple percentage points within a couple of series, right?

But yeah, you're right.

I mean, it's always still been about like it's Tatum's team.

And then we also have this guy, Jalen Brown, who's this amazing co-star.

And like nobody wants to be the Robin to the Batman.

Right.

And that was always the tension behind the scenes anyway.

It was like, well, are these guys going to stay together?

And it wasn't because everybody's saying they don't get along or don't like each other.

It was more just like Jalen Brown thinks he can do more.

And he's just shown us to his credit.

The guy has has walked the walk.

he has proven everything that he projected about himself.

He can be a number one.

So now it's just a matter of like, can they be co-number ones?

But also like, I don't think we have to worry about that or they don't have to worry about that in the near term because when Tatum comes back, assuming he is coming back in the next days to weeks here,

He's coming back as a guy coming off an Achilles after less than a year, and he's going to need to lean on Jalen Brown.

So for the duration of at least this season and this postseason, I don't think there's any, there's no reason for there to be tension because they need Jalen Brown to be the guy carrying the load.

For next season, maybe Logan's going to have a point.

Who knows?
