Tim Legler

I don't think he's going to be a guy that's going to go out and average 35 points a game at some point, like a Kobe, like a Michael Jordan.

I don't think he's going to be able to do that because it's hard to move around at 7'5 when you're thin, and guys can get into you a little bit and manipulate your body and force you to places on the court where you don't want to go.

Welcome to the Zach Lowe show.

The second round of the playoffs actually started for a while.

I thought we might never get there.

Tim Legler is here from ESPN.

The great Tim Legler and the all city podcast.

How you doing, bud?

I thought, I thought pretty much I was past the point of thinking anything with him would be incomprehensible.

This is incomprehensible that I got this news today.

I was flying back from the game I did.

And, and actually, you're looking forward to doing this with you and kind of going over everything.

And obviously they've been playing pretty well of late and you're looking at them and just as without question, the most interesting thing,

in the bottom half of any of these playoff brackets because of what they represent and who they have.

And it's like, finally, it looks like they're actually going to head in to the postseason, not only with all three of their stars upright, but Paul George playing some of the best basketball he's played in five years.

And then this happens.

And it made me think, first of all, can I ask you a question?

You hear about it all the time, but do you know anybody personally

that has had appendicitis that had an emergency appendectomy?

I don't either.
