I mean, you weren't around in 1969, alright, my man? My man, oh shit.

You know, there's no way you were around in 69. I mean, I appreciate your knowledge of the history of the game, but you didn't see that shot.

Well, listen, Dan, I really appreciated looking at you today. It was fantastic.

All right, number three, your third best nugget of the week, Stan. There's only four teams in the league, all in the Western Conference, who are in the top ten in the league, both offensively and defensively. Oklahoma City's leading the way, first offensively and ninth defensively. And they're the only one of those four who's also in the top ten rebounding-wise.

Better than?

Better than?

Yeah, they're better because they've got a better approach, I think. Not that they were bad last year, but I think they've got a better, more consistent approach at the defensive end. Am I wrong?

Oh my gosh, yeah. Look, I think personally, if you had to vote right now, and it usually doesn't go to guys playing as well as he does, but I'd make him the most improved player in the league. I think he should be in the All-Star game. I think this guy's outstanding.

What was your experience with the Stugatz personal record book? I just remember being interviewed for it, but I don't know where it is in the book, so I can't... I just saw the book, so I haven't had time. But I will say this, Dan. Like, I followed Pat Riley as the coach of the Heat, and that wasn't nearly as much pressure as sitting in Stu Gatz's seat right now. Yes.

No, exactly. And Stu Gatz clearly wrote every word in the book, but he did have people conducting interviews for him. then he incorporated everything. So I'm sure he knows exactly where it is.
