I mean, unbelievable.

I mean, unbelievable.

Role players understood who they were.

And then with San Antonio, everybody just bought in.

defensively, offensively, no egos.

That's the beauty about this series because there are still some little unknowns.

Like, okay, so you know who they are.

Golden State, you knew who they were.

These two teams, I think, are still evolving.

Even though New York is still an older, more mature team, you know, they still got some questions to answer.

When did we go from ball hog to ball dominant?

Remember, this was a bad thing.

Isaiah was with us a couple of weeks ago, and he said, yeah, we were a ball hog if it wasn't ball dominant.

But I don't know.

Was Iverson a ball hog but was ball dominant and great at it?

I don't know when we went from that, man, pass the ball, to, hey, he needs it so he can get his shots.

Well, corresponded with analytics, because analytics is going to tell you somebody's usage rate.

And now once we start breaking that number down, a high usage rate, now again, that takes in a lot of factors, but a James Harden, a Russell Westbrook, a Luka Doncic, a Jalen Brunson, because they have the ball in their hands a lot more, and those analytics are going to look different.

And they're going to use those numbers to...

uh make a point about a person or to make a another point about a person that they're two ball dominant and that's a great question too because throughout the game in history different guys have dominated the ball a little bit more but it wasn't looked up i don't know if it was looked at it the same way it is in today's game because they're a little bit more isolations
