And as a Yankees fan, I'm not saying this in retrospect.
I'm telling you at the time, I thought, uh-oh, that's bad.
That's really bad.
It's bad for the psychology of the team.
Getting back to Steph Curry, Magic Johnson, and all that stuff, it reminds me, when your best player has a quality about them that makes the team feel like, we have that guy, we can't lose, it does something to the team.
And
And Steph, I don't think, had that for a lot of his career.
He's one of the greatest players ever, but I didn't get LeBron did.
I got the feeling like with LeBron on the team, his team believed later.
Right.
After the Dallas loss, he started getting that thing.
Derek Jeter had it, even though there were other players better than him on the team.
Kobe Bryant had it, no matter what people want to say, which is why...
I think it is also ridiculous when people say, Oh, Kobe's like the eighth best player ever, the 10th best player ever.
And, and kids from his generation lose their minds.
That's not an unfair ranking, but why I would put them over Tim Duncan is because I think that it is close.
I think between those two is that it's outrageous.
Kobe's team believed if he had a shot to win, Kobe's team believed that they would win.
But what I'm saying is it's Kobe and Duncan are neck and neck.
I think that's not slander.
