And then they go to start playing, and Phil Jackson says, well, no, you've got to inbound the ball.

And Jordan's like, but there's only me.

And Phil Jackson's like, yeah.

It's just one of you.

Doesn't matter.

You can't even inbound the ball unless you have a team playing together.

That's one of the joys of the NBA.

You can't even compare different teams from different eras.

So I like the reality of the game.

I like the actuality.

I like the games being played and seeing which team is going to win and all that stuff.

Now having said that, having been grumpily philosophical about it and trying to be metaphysically accurate,

There is a question, which is very down to earth.

If you're a general manager of an NBA team, would you trade one player for another, right?

Or who would you draft first?

Or who do you want signed as a free agent?
