No.

So in the United States we get in our, in our university studies, we get what's called a, you can have a bachelor of science or a bachelor of arts.

And I have a bachelor of arts degree in psychology.

So while I have studied art and I do love art and I do go to a lot of museums, it's like my favorite thing to do whenever I travel is just to go to art museums.

Edward Hopper is my favorite artist, but, and I'm big on impressionists as well, but I am not an expert or have a degree in,

art my of a bachelor of arts in psychology that's that's really romantic calling calling a psychology an art well that's because they don't want to treat it as a real science so that's part of that too

Yeah, so I think...

To say that the league doesn't play defense is categorically false because there are teams that when we adjust for efficiency and pace metrics, which both of those are up in the current league, some of these teams grayed out as some of the best we've ever seen defensively.

Pistons are up there.

Thunder obviously have been at the top the last two seasons.

Boston's defense is great.

Houston's defense is great.

Phoenix's defense is actually really good.

There's all these metrics that kind of indicate that some teams do play defense.

I think one of the things that happens when we get into games like last night is the Nuggets and Nikola have specifically learned that you cannot do this over and over and over again for 82 games a year or even 65 games or 70 games a year.

at top level and sustain it that you will wear out.

And that just gets harder and harder.

You can do it.

It's why all these young teams always have this approach of like, man, their defense is awesome.

It's because they're engaged on that level because they have the energy to do so.
