Yes.
You know, I'm not in any way defending the NBA player, but one thing that needs to be discussed in this, so any time that someone in the NHL does what Jack Hughes does where they take a stick to the mouth and they're spitting out half of their teeth and then they go and finish a game and score a game-winning goal, people compare that, and it's generally compared to NBA players.
The flopping.
The flopping of this or that or the injury.
I mean, you see some of these guys who...
Like, you know, whether it's Anthony Davis or whomever, you know, injuries and they're out all the time and, you know, how are they not fighting through these injuries and the load management, which is true.
But the baseball players need to be brought into this discussion as well.
They really do.
They never get criticized the way that the NBA players do when it comes to toughness.
I mean, how many times do we see this?
Every single year.
What do you think would happen if Kodai Senga got two teeth knocked out of his face?
He'd retire.
Well, they'd bring in a therapist.
I mean, my God.
I mean, you think about the frickin' soft tissue injuries, and this guy's got this, and this guy's got that, and Stanton's got two elbows, and I mean, Jesus Christ.
And by the way, all the NHL players that did participate in the Olympics, I guarantee you all have something.
I mean, blocking shots, taking hits.
I mean, Tom Wilson almost took Dylan Larkin's head off.
I think Dylan saw him right at the end and just kind of got out of the way a little bit.
