he's reclining on some of these fadeaways and still making them over good contests. I think he's I think he's a guy that deserves just as much shine as Russ and at least as much as Russ got. Durant is a freak of nature scorer, the likes of which we will probably never see again, or at least not for a long time. But... Shea is also a singular scorer, I think. You know what I mean?

In a much different way, yeah. Yeah, there are fathers to his game, right? You can see Kobe in there. You can see different little Steve Nash kind of things or whatever. But there's not... he's not doing a karaoke version of anybody. You know what I mean? Like he's, he's very much himself.

And in that way, I think he is truly special, uh, just because he leaves open the possibility for so many things that you never even knew you wanted to see. But that, you know, I'm also a massive homer and can't be trusted. But yeah, that's how I feel about that. Chet is quiet. I'll be interested to see how Chet evolves, like, not just on the court, but... in his person.

How expressive he gets because he can be kind of loud sometimes on some of these finishes and everything. Defensively, he's just so stellar at the rim. There's going to be opportunities for explosive plays from him on that end too.
