And as far as centers go, he's very agile. It's not like he's old and beat down. He's just no longer the... He was a small forward playing center. Like those days, it was like, now he's a power forward playing center, right? That's a big difference. But it's upstairs. And it's like, it's a combination of his intellectual capacity.
Because he said, I don't know if when you listen to it, one of the things that blew me away is I expect him to sit down with a scientist. And he's going to say some stuff I didn't understand. I understood everything he said. It actually sounded pretty basic.

And what he says, he doesn't think players, obviously he thinks there are dumb players in the league, but he doesn't think most players are dumb. He thinks the difference is, it's not that you don't know what to do. It's how fast you process it. How fast in the moment can you process these seven things that are happening and make a decision? He's like, that's the difference. And I understood that.

having him explain some very simple things, but he's just processing like seven of them at the same time on the fly and making decisions like that. That's the difference. And that to me is like, it's like a CPU that's just advanced.

No, I do like the KG. And I think you can't go too far back because the separator for the likes of KG and Draymond is they get out on a point guard. You just have to be able to do that. In this day and age, you have to switch onto a guard and be able to hold your own. You cannot be a legit defender if you can't do that. I do think Rudy is the exception because he's so...

foundational as an anchor, right? Like he's such an elite anchor where automatically if he's on your defense, you're going to have a top level defense just because he's back there. And I do think that's part of a generation of dudes who do not like getting their shot blocked. So they don't even take the shot half the time when they're there. We're seeing this with Wimby.

Actually, I think that's a secondary benefit. To be honest, I don't think they knew this. He wasn't... Oh, you think it was a surprise. No, he wasn't. Moses' big thing is lateral movement. But the one thing that's happening with Jimmy... is they're just more aggressive. And Moses is the point of attack. It's like, all right, you get out there and you just hound the ball, right?
