You have to be an animal with how you develop.

And you look at Victor, he is 21 and he's already turning into a yoga style.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, one, just like looking at the the black and white between how the team performed with him and without him around that sequence was fascinating.

Like they really struggled when he wasn't out there.

Yeah.

It seemed to me that their plan, which was interesting because we never see guys like the big stars returning, not come in until the second quarter.

We were all like, I guess it's not happening.

Everybody thought it was some sort of game they were playing or something like that.

And they mapped it out perfectly so that he could play the length and frequency of the stints they wanted so that he got to close out the game.

And of course, he was the one that was the big guy at the end.

So it worked out.

And I think for him in that early stint, he was just like,

I think my touch is going to be off.

My conditioning is going to be a little bit off.

Can I just get to the rim and just affect the rim?

Because the one thing you can do is you can stand there and just hold a bunch of people off and just hit the ball to somebody.

And no matter what is going on in this game, he can always at least smack the ball out of the air towards somebody.

And so that's how you get warmed up.
