Jared Weiss

counterpoint you have to be out of your mind to walk through the back halls of msg barefoot and hope that you don't step on a screw or glass or something like that so i was mortified when i saw him doing that because i've tripped in that area back there so thank god his feet were okay but there's a lot of projection i think that goes on with people watching the way victor acts and the way that we cover him where we

I think most of us that are covering him look at what he does as a breath of fresh air.

And it's fascinating.

And we like that he does put himself out there emotionally.

And he is a curious and adventurous 22 year old who is trying to like take in everything that the world has to offer to him.

And a lot of people are just going to be annoyed with that because it doesn't fit the kind of modern status quo of athletes and athletes are kind of taught to suppress who they are.

so that they could be clean-cut images that the public could consume them without dealing with the jagged edges of their personality.

Now, Victor, there's a line between confident and cocky that I think he stepped over too many times during the postseason.

But generally, he has been confident with self-awareness

for most of this season.

And I think it's just that he faced the hardest test, right?

He went all the way to the finals.

He faced a great team, a team that we all love and are going to remember forever.

Like this was one of my favorite NBA teams that I've ever seen this next team.

Like they were just, everything about them was fascinating and enjoyable.

And watching them celebrate now, it's like, there's a reason why we love these guys.

They're just, they're hilarious.

Yeah.

I mean, OG high out of his mind, a good morning America, or maybe just asleep.

I don't know.
