Yeah.

It's so funny that the Jalen Brunson discussion has so many different elements that we can go to.

Out of all the players that he has compared to, the Lucas, the Anthony Edwards, all the smaller guards,

He's the first one to win a title.

And one of the things that we talked about throughout this postseason, Raja, and you in particular, we were talking about just like small guards and can they get to it, right?

And can you win with a small guard when, you know, and we know this about San Antonio, they were basically just blitzing Brunson any chance that they got, right?

What do we learn about how a small guard can be successful in this league?

And what did he show you just from that type of standpoint where,

they are blitzing him, and it seems to not matter down the stretch of games, right?

Because that was the biggest thing, right?

The Spurs won every quarter except for the fourth throughout this whole series.

How did you see that going?

It's always funny to just see, like, star players in general kind of work their way through the finals, right?

And, you know, you've seen it...

You know, particularly, I saw it firsthand with Steph.

You know, you've seen it, I'm sure, with Tony Parker and other guys where they have to find their way within a series because the finals are a different beast where this is the best scouting that you are going to get against your game, right?

And...

Um, that's why you always see like the first couple of games of a final, especially from a star player or a number one option is always a feeling out process, right?

You saw that with Brunson when he took 31 shots, uh, then he finally kind of got his rhythm towards the end of the game.

Um, and you know, game two, he was, you know, seven of 25 still won the game, but then you see him kind of figure his way through, uh,
