And as if by divine intervention, while I was looking all this up last night, I briefly got on Instagram and saw a clip from a postgame presser where our guy S asked RJ about his floater game and specifically this move where he drives like he's going to the hoop.

He stops, does a half spin, and then shoots a floater.

And RJ talked about how this was something he developed in New York when he was working with Knicks assistant coach Johnny Bryant.

It was just very wild that all of a sudden he was S talking to me about the one thing I was looking up.

You know, RJ's been a really good rim attacker since being in Toronto.

It's a big strength of his game.

But now with this floater game, it's made his offensive game within the arc so much stronger because he has a real counter, making him that much harder to guard.

And when thinking about this team in the preseason, I was so focused on Brandon Ingram, Scotty Barnes, as far as figuring out who would decide the Raptors' ceiling.

But so far this season, it's clear that R.J.

Barrett is going to have a massive influence on this team's success.

And for that, Andrew, he's my good this week.

It only became a conversation the 06 Finals.

That was definitely a big topic of conversation.

Right.

No, but it's because back then you couldn't watch every game and you certainly couldn't watch highlights of every game.

And there wasn't anyone out there who had enough time to clip just free throws, like to just clip the fouls that lead to free throws.

It's because people are watching it more.

They're watching more highlights of fouls than they've ever watched in the history of the game.

That's just a true fact.

NBA fans are watching more fouls than at any other time in the history of this game.
