But I agree.

I mean, the hardest place I had to go with the Spurs was OKC.

That's insane.

Like, in terms of the crowd impact, it is definitely OKC.

Elevation and then the cultural impacts in Miami, I think, are hard to beat.

But I do think that they nailed that one.

excited about, I don't know, but one of the craziest stats that's come out last year was that for the first time in NBA history, more rebounds are coming from missed three point shots than missed two point shots.

In other words, the quintessential rebound.

Now, if you're teaching a young player to get rebounds, you're teaching them how to rebound three point shots, which is crazy.

Yeah, positioning yourself.

Yeah, so I think the art of rebounding, we've gone from a Moses Malone reality.

If you picture Moses, probably the greatest rebounder of my youth growing up, watching those Sixers teams at the end of his career.

But he wasn't getting a lot of missed threes in his diet.

It was all six footers that bounced off and he was pushing around another giant person.

But there's a paradigm shift, Bill, that rebounding itself is now about getting longer rebounds.

And, you know, people like Giannis are perfectly built for this task.

Like you're more athletic, you're rangier, you have these arms.

Victor Weminyama is going to be great at this.

So speed and length.

Speed and length.
