And I thought for him, you could see that he understood the game at a very high level at the age of 18.
But understanding guys were going to target him and pick him up full court.
And so we wanted to kind of look at speeding up the process.
If there's a big game coming in the future, playoffs or play-in, will we have another ball handler if they took the ball out of Kai's hand?
And so we were trying to think a little bit ahead, and it worked out.
And it's all right to be critical of someone's decision, but I think it helped the process
for next season and years to come that we can rely on him getting us in an offense.
He, you know...
Kareem a little bit, a young Kareem at UCLA, being so dominant.
doesn't have the sky hook, but just the athleticism, understands the game.
Again, when you talk about these young players, their IQ of understanding how to play the game, and he's one that's playing the game at a very high level, shoots the three, puts the ball on the floor, doesn't have to jump to dunk, and doesn't have to jump to block shots.
And so just understanding, again, he's special.
And I think the league with these young stars are in great hands.
This season, this run, this playoff run, we'll be able to answer that question.
If they are the last team standing, I would say yes.
Yeah, I think if they win another title, they're in that San Antonio Spurs-type dynasty.
Again, simple, not flashy, simple.
They play both sides of the ball, defensively and offensively.
And then they have a star, and the star is about the team.
And so I would look at them more in that San Antonio dynasty.
