00:00Yeah, just from a sensibility standpoint, I do like the cutthroat athlete more so.

00:03And so do I. I just don't think it's him.

00:05So I'm like, no, it's not.

00:06But but tonight is different because, you know, the Olympic team would bother anyone.

00:11And you know what bothered him?

00:12It does. But I just don't think he goes out of his way to make it about himself.

00:16I really don't.

00:17And he's been publicly, at least kind of brushed it all off.

00:20It's it's whatever it happened.

00:21We're focused on this now.

00:22And I really do believe he's focused on winning a championship.

00:25I know all eyes are going to be on this game tonight.

00:28People have circled this on the calendar, but I don't think he forces anything.

00:32I think he continues to play within the game.

00:35And the reality is all he has to do is be himself.

00:38And he's going to put up a big numbers.

00:39That's just how he's been playing this year.

00:41He's averaging what? Thirty five and seven.

00:44Like if he just plays the way he's been playing, he'll be just fine.

00:47So that's a credit to him.

00:49I think we saw it during the finals last year, where everyone's

00:51always comparing him and Luka Doncic face the league, whatever it may be.

00:55He didn't force anything.

00:56He was always just playing within the game.

00:57And they want an NBA championship because of that.

01:00So I know everyone's going to circle this because it's the entertainment business.

01:03It's supposed to be the cinema.

01:05But I don't think he plays any way any different than the way he always does.

01:08I really don't.
