00:00Well, I think it's going to be LeBron, because I think that Steph is going to have a very,

00:04very tough time with an individual by the name of Armin Thompson. I mean, as this brother,

00:09I'm just a huge, huge fan of this brother. And I think that, and of course, I love me some Emei

00:16Udoku, who I believe is one of the best coaches in basketball, who I believe within the next two

00:20to three years will deliver a championship to the city of Houston. Okay, that's how I believe in

00:25that brother. But Thompson is something special. I keep telling everybody, I know they're seeing it,

00:31they're seeing the athleticism, but his defensive prowess, his unwillingness to shy away and run away

00:37from any challenge, no matter how daunting it may appear. I mean, to me, when I think about Dylan

00:43Brooks, who I'm a fan of, and I've grown to become even more of a fan of Dylan Brooks, because I like

00:47the element that he brings to the Houston Rockets. I think Emei Udoku got him on purpose. We all respect

00:53Van Vliet. We know what Jalen Green can do, what his talents should go on. This brother can play.

00:57He's a big boy that can play. We get that part. But Armin Thompson is the future. This brother's

01:04special. And I think that Steve Kerr is going to really, really have to have to coach, you know,

01:11against this kid. He's going to have to figure out a way to neutralize him because he's the past.
