Like, hop on.

Let's go.

That puts everybody in a really safe space and in a relaxed environment to hoop in.

And hoop in is relaxed.

Like, I talked to my son, Ty, about this shit.

Like, hey, man, shooting and making shots, it sucks.

you have to have a relaxation about you have to be relaxed it's not a tense thing the more tense you are the the higher the likelihood that that shit doesn't go into hoop bro you got to just relax and stroke and so when lebron comes out looking the way he did um and was in attack mode the way he was it just puts everybody else in that relaxed let's just hoop state of mind and it unlocks your team in that way and on the flip side of that

You know, when Houston gets in a tough spot in that way and they don't have a KD or a Fred Van Vliet or just someone that's used to really manning the reins like that, you know, you could wind up having a situation like what they scored 78 points tonight.

Like, that's crazy.

Like, what did...

What did Orlando score tonight?

you know third behind you know unfortunately because of the times we're in burner gate and not being available as they lost the first round series yeah it's tough i feel i feel for him because like you know you only get so many bites at the apple in in terms of like like i i think it was last pod you asked about like him and somebody else and i was like kawaii i was like those guys are kind of mercenaries at this point right like if you're you're a team it was kawaii kd and yannis

yeah like janice probably i don't i i in retrospect probably i wouldn't put janice in that category but the other two kind of mercenaries hey we think we're this piece away from really being something and having an opportunity to contend um

And so like, we'll take a swing at that and maybe put ourselves in a tough situation, you know, to get a look at it.

But you only get so many swings at that as a player.

And if you're not producing, and I don't mean like statistically, because like he had great numbers and stuff, but I mean producing in terms of the outcome being what people expected it to be when they brought you in there.

You only get so many bites at that apple before people say, well,

Even a Kevin Durant, like, and it sounds crazy, but like, you know, you remember AI?

Like there comes a time where you get so many bites at the apple with teams and then they're like,

Yeah, I mean, it's going to score a lot of points, but for whatever reason, and I'm not saying definitively that this is where they're at, but I feel for him in this way because I was still in the league when Chuck was going through it, and I played with Chuck, and you could still produce points and score and look like a semblance of what you were, but teams just don't get the return on investment that they think they should get when they bring you in there, and...
