It was a play where Texas Tech had gotten –

They either got in a steal or offensive rebound or defensive rebound.

I forget exactly what it was.

But I will tell folks, so you and I have a little group chat with Scott Rich.

I can't believe I'm going to say this.

I can't.

But I'm going to say it anyway.

So, Donald, you weren't as much in the group chat because you were at the game.

I was at the game, yeah.

Scott and I were doing our thing back and forth.

And at one point after Malik had that one late where he somehow just grabbed the ball like out of nowhere, Scott said, Malik is like a D-list X-man.

You know, the X-Men from the comics.

He said, sort of like Magneto, except Malik controls rubber, not metal.

Which I guess is why he's a D-list X-Men, not an A-list.

And I said, yes, he needs a good X-Men name.

And I named Malik Leatherback.

You know, Marvel Comics, if you have openings for story writers, I'm here for you.

Exactly.

It does at times feel like Malik has some kind of otherworldly power that allows him to deflect the ball, to grab the ball and all that other kind of stuff.

He's a special player.
