And to be honest, he should probably, you know, and I imagine probably does feel thankful that the organization has certainly stood by him all the way through. And he's a guy that has been trying to just kind of get back to not to quote LeBron, but to making the main thing the main thing. Right. And, you know, this was basketball.
