That too.

You mentioned John Crotty earlier.

That wasn't the funniest thing about the broadcast with John Crotty.

Beloved.

I would say the one pushback that I would have, and Zaz made some good points, is that was also in Kobe's character.

I think this is objectively hilarious, that bam out of bio of all people, when the whole thing around this player for his entire career is be more aggressive, decided, you know what, for once...

i'm gonna eat averages four and a half free throws a game for once i'm gonna be spam out of bio and i'm gonna make this happen for myself and i'm glad that you mentioned the fans in that arena they had they looked like they were having the time of their life yeah i've been positioned as the heat hater just because i think that this is another lost season that ends with them not getting out of the first round and i

I will be right about that.

But I think that, look, the Miami Heat, as Dwayne Wade, the face of this franchise, said they needed a buzz.

This town needed to be woken up.

And Bam said that much in the postgame.

So did Spoh.

Yeah, and he finally did something to wake this market up.

I would say that both nationally and locally, and I'm afraid the ratings bear this out, this is as irrelevant as this basketball team, this proud basketball team has been.

Maybe ever.
