There's more talent, as you describe.

But when we look at just why are we so much higher than last year, we're setting records for free throws and specifically –

certain types of players are drawing a lot more fouls and going to the line, uh, more than ever before.

And specifically Luka Doncic, like epitomizes this trend.

I don't know if you were at the Lakers Spurs game earlier this year at crypto.

Um,

But yeah, Luka is the epitome.

He shot less than nine free throws per game last year.

He's at 12 and a half this year.

He's drawing over nine fouls per game himself, which is the highest number we've ever seen in the player tracking era.

I think there's a few reasons.

I think the league rigs the league for the Lakers, which is hard to say.

So thank you for making me say that.

Just factor that in.

This is one thing Spurs fans and Celtics fans can clearly agree on.

Yes.

But,

Two things are happening.

I want Luka is one of the smartest, hardest players to guard in the league.

Like, no disrespect to Luka Doncic.
