I love that. This is going to sound a little bit like a stretch, but bear with me because I think this works. So this weekend, your team's going to be playing the South Bay Lakers and Brawny James Jr.

You and Brawny probably have almost nothing in common, except both of you kind of became viral sensations or Instagram stars, social media sensations before you were actually in the league, NBA or G League. And it's different. Obviously, Brawny grew up as the son of LeBron James. So I don't want to stretch the analogy too far.

Because we knew who Brawny was. long before this. And now he, like you, is just trying to carve out a career, right? He's just trying to establish who he is. He's got to get out of his dad's shadow.

I'm not saying you have to get out of the shadow of the slam dunk titles, but there is a little bit of that tension, right? Of wanting to be seen as a player and not just a showman. Do you think there's a little bit of a, you know, could you relate a little bit maybe to what he's going through right now?
