Tim Legler

You never really see anything quite like it, but you don't know how much he's going to be able to add early enough in his career in terms of functional strength.

That was the thing that I needed to see him add because in that league, these are grown men, and it's going to be difficult to operate 7'5", trying to dribble the basketball around when you've got guys getting up into your hip, into your lower body, manipulating you, moving you, pushing you all over the court.

The functional strength he's added even just in the last couple of years is incredible, and that's what's allowing him now to be dominant offensively.

We knew the defense, even I don't care how thin he stayed, he could have been a weakling his entire life.

He was going to affect the game defensively.

The functional strength and his ability to play through contact, stay on balance, get the shot he wants, it's incredible how much that has improved in the last couple of years to where now there really is no ceiling.

There's no limitation you can put on how great this guy can be.

And look, again, maybe it's not this year they're winning championships because the Thunder –

We're the number one seed for a reason.

They're really good.

They're very deep and they're incredibly well coached.

They're going to have something different that they bring to the table in game two.

But look, there's no doubt.

It's going to be a long run for the San Antonio Spurs as long as that guy stays healthy.

When that starts, we'll see what the Thunder have to say about that.

Yeah, and people said even the shot he hit, the three he hit late, the pull-up three off the dribble coming out of the backcourt, which did look an awful lot like the shot Steph Curry hit years ago, which was one of the greatest shots in regular season games I ever watched when the Warriors beat the Thunder in OKC and Curry hit that pull-up 40-footer.

It did look a lot like that.

Somebody asked me, well, what was the difference?

The difference, the ball was released from three feet higher than where Steph Curry released it from.

That was the only difference.
