well i never i don't know i never saw michael jordan well you know try to foul beat that that wasn't a what that wasn't the thought process back then i never saw kobe try to file b never that was not a thought process i think we we got in the early two thousands there and we had guys that uh... would flop from time to time in the league i mean that's

That's obvious.

But I think the early 2000s, we started to see more of it.

And then it just absolutely got out of control where you had guys who manipulated the rules.

And they were smart to do that.

And they made careers off of that.

And I think a lot of young players saw that coming up.

And they saw that they could make a living getting to the foul line.

And with SGA, you know, my thing is, Dan, that shouldn't be his legacy at the end of his career, right?

I mean, guys, before all this, I mean, going back to when I saw him right after the pandemic and they came to San Antonio several times, I was like, we had no answer for this guy.

He was absolutely unbelievable, and I didn't see him hit the floor or lay on the floor one single time.

And if he gets back to that and continues to play the way he played in Game 7, people are going to forget about all the spout baiting.

Well, I've told the story many times, Dan, that it was just one of those days where the ball was just flying out of my hands.

I didn't have to think about my shot at all.

If I got a good look at the basket, I felt like it was going in.

I had a really great warm-up before that game where I shoot my typical 25 threes around at five spots and missed one.

And it was just...

It's just one of those days, and when I caught the ball, I've spoken about it many times, when I turned, I never saw Rasheed, never saw Rasheed Wallace.

If I saw Rasheed Wallace coming at me, no way I'd make that shot.

It's like I told the story a couple weeks ago.
