And so Tony would get up into his body, and Manu would get up into his body. So we cut off half the court of his passing, right? We cut off a portion. So he's still effective. He's still effective downhill, but we cut off a portion of the court instead of letting him do that. With Jokic, it's similar. You just have to get up and pressure him a little bit more before he even gets to half court.

Make him make passes. You know how he sets a three-point line, he's got the pump fake, and he's got all of these whips? Make him, instead of doing that at the three-point line, make him do it a foot and a half. Now that shot's harder. Now that pass is longer. That's harder to do.

But if you make Jokic extend out a little bit more, maybe now his downhill dribble takes more effort, takes one more dribble. But if he's catching it at the three-point line and then picking you apart, shots, pump fakes, drives, make him extend a foot and a half behind the three-point line.

The same way you have to make you deny the ball out and make them have to start their offense further out, make Jokic have to start his offense and his system a little bit further out. And a foot and a half is a big, big, big difference. That's my long-winded answer.

It takes, okay. What we believe to be a hundred percent on purpose is, It has to be 120% obvious for us to say that we can't tell someone's intent. This is not me. Like when you're on a broadcast and there's a different cadence, there's a different skill when you're doing a broadcast. And it's very difficult.

Like people don't understand how hard it is to call a game, to like, to articulate your thoughts and opinions in real time and be graded on that. I say that to say is that in that space, you do give the benefit of the doubt.

Now, sometimes our boys like, I might believe that he's doing this on purpose, but we have, I won't say on purpose, but you have to say something along the lines of he has a history of this to give context. It's like, I'm not saying he should be thrown out of the game. That's terrible. Because you can't do that right out of that. That's just not how you should call a game.
