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.
Yeah, David and I were close friends, and yeah, he didn't think I belonged on there. But, you know, with the inside thing, I mean, number one, Charles was under contract, so they decided to hang on to him, which was a great decision.

But on top of that, a lot of people at TNT keep their jobs. So it was great news for the people at our network.

Yeah, that I don't know, but certainly that group is very, very close, love working together, care a lot about each other, and the show has just been immensely successful. And as you know, I think everybody was very concerned about what would happen to that show in this new broadcast deal with the NBA. Yeah.

You know, like to me, I sort of I listen to what Dwayne said. And I like the fact that he really focused on the honor of having a statue there.

there um and not on you know is it the greatest likeness or anything else i i think he really took it as an honor and didn't want anything to take away from that honor and um so i have refrained from uh laughing about it commenting on it because there it is yeah uh You can't look at it and not laugh.

You can't even look it in the face. I cannot. But I'm not going to laugh because Dwayne Wade made my entire career.

No, listen, I mean, the guy made my entire career. I mean, I go home to my house every night and open the door, nice house, say, thank you, Dwayne Wade.

I mean, you've got to remember, they were 14-3 before Porzingis came back last night. And he's a huge piece for them. So fully healthy. I don't think there's any doubt they're the best. A lot has surprised me, though.

I've been really surprised by Golden State. Golden State and Cleveland probably the two most pleasant surprises. I thought Golden State's ceiling would be to get the ninth or tenth spot and be in the play-in, and they have looked outstanding on both ends of the court. I mean, they're a top-ten offensive and defensive team after losing Klay Thompson, and they've just played great basketball.
