Yeah, good point.

I want to just quote the thing about you that Daryl Morey, who is now, of course, president of the 76ers, a fellow PTFO guest, as is Michael Lewis.

This is all very incestuous.

I want to just quote Daryl.

Daryl says, quote, I call him Lego.

When he's on the court, all the pieces start to fit together and everything that leads to winning that you can get to through intellect instead of innate ability, Shane excels in.

I'll bet he's in the hundredth percentile of every category.

So again, familiar compliment, insult, sort of like layer cake.

Instead of innate ability, you know?

There was something that you were great at that was kind of ineffable.

Give us the sort of like, the gallery of people that Shane Battier had to puke into his towel to sort of contemplate defending.

The whole thing of like, I'm going to slow you down, but I know I'm not going to stop you.

Right?

When it came to why these guys, as much as they would talk about how, you know, we're not afraid of Shane Battier.

The stats actually indicate, like, yo, you slowed down.

I wasn't bad.

You slowed down at the yellow light.

As it turned out, it wasn't half bad.

You got to give Shane Batty a lot of credit.

When you look back at how you got to be this way, that's the part where I'm like, I don't know if you can really teach that.
