I asked two future Hall of Famers, Curry and LeBron, because he participated with Team USA.
And so I wanted to know the truth.
And so I went to those two and asked them, can Cooper play?
And they both said he's very special.
And so talking to Cooper, I had him over for dinner and I said, hey, when you were Team USA, who were the hardest to guard?
And he brought up Curry and LeBron.
And so I was just like, yeah, those two are hard to guard.
But he goes, they just knew exactly what was going to happen before it happened.
And I said, that just takes time.
But those two are the ones that stood out.
He said those were the hardest to guard.
And I asked those two about Cooper.
And they said that he's very special.
And I thought, you know, listening to those guys.
But once I gave him the ball, you know, early on, I knew that this young man was going to do something special.
I think I was critical of you that you had him at point guard to start, and I thought he hadn't played point guard, and I thought, wow, he's going to be the leader of the team, and now you're going to make him a point guard.
And I don't know if he struggled a little bit there as a point guard, but when did you know that he could actually be a point forward or whatever you want to call it?
Yeah, I think when you look at, you know, sometimes we get caught up in the titles, point guard, point forward.
It becomes basketball.
Can you bring the ball up?
