And there were all of these guys that everyone got hyped up.

Like, okay, here we go.

Vince Carter.

This is the next Michael Jordan.

And none of them quite lived up to that moniker, right?

And then the third movie reference, and you guys are going to love this one, right?

When he talks about his Catholic upbringing, made me think of He Got Game.

It was Ray Allen as Jesus Shuttlesworth with a crown of thorns and a crucifix.

Dan, you saw a young A-Rod right in high school.

Did you have those kind of vibes?

He'd have 10 more years if he hadn't dunked 30 times that day 25 years ago.

Did you think that this would be the cover that came out of everything that he just described?

The stained glass I thought would have been the one, right?

That would have been the one.

But in retrospect, this is such a great shot.

And, you know, he also talks about choosing the color of the ball.

choosing that color because he thought it would pop more.

And it's so funny because I never thought about what color the ball was.

If you had asked me, hey, what color was the ball that was on the cover of Sports Illustrated for that LeBron cover?

Couldn't tell you.
