As a tennis person, how inaccurate or how far-fetched is that story?

Okay. How you feel about Challengers is how I feel about Hoosiers. That's not how any of that works.

Don Levitard. If Daniel Day-Lewis did it, you'd be jerking off all over yourself. Oh, come on. Yeah, I would be.

Wow. Okay, these HBO numbers that they put out, all of these are fudged beyond belief.

Yeah, they're fudged. On the other side, it's actually more people are watching. And they're just being too modest with those numbers. No, Dan. That number sounds big to me because everyone knew Dallas wasn't healthy and the game wasn't in Dallas. So I think those things dampen what could have been.

I mean, if you gave me either of those things, either a full-strength Mavericks team or have them be hurt, but this game happens in Dallas, I think the numbers spike. It was also a late game, though, wasn't it? 10-10 Eastern. Yep.

Dan, it's funny. When I saw the infographic saying Mavericks are concerned because Luka likes beer and hookah, I said, you could just replace the word Luka with Amin, and nothing would change. It's exactly like, oh, wow.

No. I say that person is worthy of... Applause, right? Everyone needs to compensate this person even more richly than he's already being compensated because it turns out this is what he's doing. He's giving you this excellence on beer and hookah? How do you not pay him? How are you not impressed by his brilliance?

That's the problem. That's what makes them a dilemma because the basketball is unquestioned. There are so many guys, they get hurt or they don't achieve and we're like, yeah, okay, you didn't end up being what we thought you would be. And so it's easier to cut ties. Think of Markel Fultz. It was easy to basically give up on Markel Fultz. It was easy to give up on Anthony Bennett.

It's easy to give up on Andrew Wiggins. It's hard as hell to give up on Joel Embiid and Zion Williamson because when they do play... They are legitimately historic. Some of the greatest basketball ever, right? What Jeremy just talked about. For him to be the most double-teamed person, already shocking.
