I think that's the weirdest part is like, it's not as if they were a surprise. It's not like when the, you know, a couple years ago when the Grizzlies all of a sudden are kind of, you know, dynamite and up at the top of the West and people maybe didn't think that. Like it...

I mean, it was a minute, I think, before even those Russ KD teams, you know, and they had sort of more immediate wattage than this current Thunder team. Like, it was even a minute before they kind of started acknowledging them as, like, a thing. You know what I mean? So, I think it's stupid.

Before that, the NBA, I saw in a tweet, I think, did a little get-to-know-Shea kind of thing. And it's like, hey, y'all shouldn't really feel the need to do this. This is an all-NBA dude. That you think that it's necessary is showing that y'all have not invested enough in making sure that the public is aware of this guy.

I think it's ridiculous, but I also it wasn't your jaw's not on the floor, right? This is how the league operates. They're pushing Wimby. I think they knew the Spurs weren't going to be that good this year, but they're pushing Wimby hard. And so they're going to put them there. They're very invested in Anthony Edwards, like an American star on the come up. So they're going to have them there.

You know, the sons, the warriors, the Lakers, the Mavs, like these are all, you know, large market teams with some wattage behind them. Uh, uh, that is either still earning that wattage or is coasting off what they've done in the past. You know what I mean? But it wasn't something that blew me away, but it was definitely disappointing.
