Well, we're definitely in a in a in a transition period where something something different is going on, where these kids are getting paid a lot of money. So players have a lot of power right now. You know, you have a 16 year old kid who's making three, $4 million. What the fuck is a coach going to say?

And I'm not hating on kids getting paid because you know what? This is what it is. At the end of the day, you can't be playing in on national TV with billions of dollars on the line with television revenues out the going crazy and the kids don't get shit. So, okay, I think that the marketing is a good step, but this is a business. It's a big business.

Look, to be a champion... to be called champ, you have to sacrifice. It's not all about you, you know? And I think that we understood that as a team in college and we loved playing with each other so much that we ended up coming back to school. And it's something that I'm really, there was no money involved. And I say that with, you know, that's the truth. There was no money, it was legit.
