And you'll look at some teams, some teams who just are just sunk cause following these paths that are never going to end up being a masterpiece. And I think that's a really key part of it.

Yeah, there's a sweet spot of distressed asset and talent that you could bet on in the right scenario. And you also just have to have the culture to sustain something like that. And the Warriors have proven over and over again that they can. But I think the big thing, I was looking at some of the stats through, I guess it was seven games. I mean, there are seven three-man lineups.
