It is really important that we protect the essence of that, and you're fucking around and playing with it.

That bothers me, and I'm asking you as a league, whatever it is, figure out a way to protect that because that's important.

Otherwise, we're living in the WWE.

I was blessed not to sustain any real lower body catastrophic injuries.

Like I had a major like wrist surgery, but you know, that was something that when, when I came back from it, um,

I don't think the risk of re injuring it was as catastrophic as, as one, like an Achilles or an ACL or something like that.

So, you know, I'm not speaking from a place of experience with this.

I would just say to him or anyone, like, like they were my kids, like be, be patient with that.

They have, and he has Jason Tatum access to doctors and, you know, rehab technology that,

I'm not privy to so

if in fact the rehab and the timeline for return to play has shrunk significantly over the last couple years and he's being guaranteed that he's safe and his percent chance of re-injuring that is super, super low, then by all means, do your thing.

I love watching him play.

The Celtics are in an incredible spot right now with an opportunity in the Eastern Conference.

So maybe sneak into the finals in a way this year.

But the risk of that being re-injured or re-aggravated or something else happening would have to be negligible.

There would have to be like a below 5% chance risk for me to come back.

Like I'm just keeping it a buck.

Other than that, I would buy my time.

I would get fully healthy.

I would take another off season to get myself back.
