I'm watching him play in Abu Dhabi. I'm watching him play all over the world. With Scooter, when Scooter was overseas and Drew played overseas a little bit as well after the NBA, you know, I had to fly overseas to go and see him play. I mean, so this made it a heck of a lot nicer.

Well, you know, when I gave up, when I started, when I retired, the hardest thing was to retire because I could still play. I had an operation and had my knee cleaned out and I hadn't felt so good in 10 years. And the NBA, this is telling you, in 1980 to save money, the NBA cut their rosters from 12 to 11 to save money. Now they've got 16 players and two two-way guys, like 18 guys. And so timings

Celtics I already had talked to them until that and then they they cut it back to only 11 players and so I didn't go I would have played with Bird and McHale that would have been crazy I and then I went on tour and played with Pete Maravich a bunch of guys overseas I had I hadn't felt that good in 10 years honestly and so but it wasn't meant to be obviously but had I had it worked out would have been really good uh would have been crazy to get the chance to play for that team and I think we could have won some championships no doubt about it

Yeah, I'm pretty good at pickleball. I've won multiple national championships in the U.S. Open and USA Pickleball Nationals. And I decided this year to take on another challenge. And so I hadn't played singles. I was worried how my knee would be with no cartilage to play singles. But I said, you know what? It's not going to be that difficult because I'm playing against so much older guys now.

You know, two, three hits, maybe it's not going to be like you're out there killing yourself. So I practiced at the end of last year. I got a bunch of really good players and friends of mine in Florida where I spend the winters to work with me. And I went in the U.S. Open. and competed there and won the triple crown, singles, mixed doubles, and men's doubles.
