Now, you don't turn it off, but maybe you find beauty in something else.
Think about Steph.
This is a guy who is out there actually competing.
Draymond, same thing.
He could easily be like, you know what?
My last four or five years, I want to go somewhere else and have a chance to win every single year.
But his loyalty may have rubbed off on everybody else in the organization.
It's almost like the Spurs with Tim Duncan.
If Pop yelled at Tim Duncan, he'd yell at anybody.
Tim Duncan can be this beacon of light for this organization.
And, you know, Steph is doing that.
And, Steph, we talk about changing the game.
Like, he is absolutely β the way he changed the game, well, I'll live him because his effect has been unbelievable.
He has 15, actually.
Yeah, he's a freshman in high school, which is crazy.
He did, and that was full circle for me because this whole time, even when he was a kid, I'm like, if you could just study one player, I would just have you beat Penny Hardaway.
So in my thinking, when I was working with him and training him, even to this day, and I've told him this, it was Penny because I thought Penny played the game in such an effortless way, and his feel for the game was next level.
So I've been watching film with my son since he was in fifth, sixth grade and all those things.
So getting that actual offer was like, wow, that one kind of stopped me for a second.
Yeah, no, we study a lot of people, but if it could just be one person, because I knew he'd be a tall guard, it was Penny.
