Funny way and a way that you never expect, right? But for me, I got in over my head. I was like betting air money, shooting dice. And I'm thinking it's like, okay, it's a friendly competition. These numbers are getting so high. He doesn't really want this money, does he? Oh, he wanted the money. So I said, you know what?

Instead of me getting that money as a rookie and not making much at that time, Would you take the car? He's like, yeah, I'll take the car. I'm like, oh, here, you can have it. Just let me take my basketball out of it. That's what I learned, not to gamble outside of actual casinos.

Yeah. No, but you know what? You can't have a testimony without being tested. So I had to go through it. I wasn't always this savvy, Dan. I had to learn, and that was a school of hard knocks of learning for sure. But coming in the league, 19, 20 years old, you know, you're around all this. It's new to you. You think you can kind of hang and hang around and do things you were doing as a kid.

Well, these are grown men, and you're still a kid, and you have to start thinking.

I think I like the Lakers Minnesota series. Just from a standpoint, we know what LeBron and Luka bring to the table, but they've never been down this road together with each other. You know, so there'll be moments in the game where I'm sure they're both used to taking it over. It may be moments that kind of overlap. They'll have to figure that stuff out. They're playing well right now. And J.J.

Reddick's done an unbelievable job. Austin Reed's been balling. I think he gives balance to their team as well. But Minnesota is just so fearless and he's such a competitor. And we know what they were doing last year at this time. So for me, I think, you know, sorry about that. That was good work. That was good hands. I got quick hands.

They just aren't for the handles. I didn't even notice. I didn't even notice what happened.

Oh, my gosh. I'm not going there. But I'm interested to see how that series looks because I think Minnesota are competitors. And I just want to see how it looks going down that road together. What about you guys?
