I think that's important to... to be able to do that and trust each other that nobody's trying to put each other down. We're just trying to have good basketball debate out there. And then the other time, you know, when it's, when it's not necessarily a point, just kind of feeling the rhythm of, like you said, feeling the rhythm of when I'm finishing a thought, when they're finishing a thought.
And sometimes it does take time. And I, you know, I think this year, last year was a hard year for Doris because she had two different games. Analyst, first doc, and then after just a handful of games, now JJ and some handful of games, and here we are in the finals. And I thought she handled it beautifully.

And then this year with Richard coming in, they've developed already to me a really nice chemistry where they poke fun at each other now and occasionally disagree. And, you know, Richard's so easy to go back and forth with. So I'm really pleased with the chemistry this year.

Thank you. And it's my favorite part. It gets more challenging every year because, you know, every stoppage at play, every time somebody goes to the free throw line, there are sponsors that you have to get in. You've got provos. I mean, broadcasts are so loaded with that, that you really have to be concise when you do that.

But I think especially if it's relevant to what's going on on the court and the players involved in it, there's nothing better than hearing that. And I hope we don't get away from that because for me, when I'm watching at home, you know, I want to hear all the relevant stats and why the team is struggling against his own defense, et cetera, et cetera.

But most of the time, the thing that I take away most are a particular story about a player and what makes him tick or what's going on in his life or something from his background. Maybe you prepared him for dealing with this particular game. To me, that's what I usually take away from. Those are the most interesting parts of telecasts.

And I'm like you, I love to hear something more about these players. I want another reason to root for these players. I want another reason to find out why maybe they're succeeding or why maybe they're struggling. And that's an important part. You know, Brian Windhorst brought up a great point recently, talking about how our access to players has decreased. Obviously, COVID changed it.

But we've never really gone back, maybe a little bit. But we used to be able to have so much access to players when the game wasn't going on, either in the locker room or bringing them back to our room.
