I, I wanna ask you about Webanyama because, I mean, like, I feel like every time you watch him play, it's like you see something that you like I've never seen on the basketball court before and it's kind of like you're just like, it just it doesn't look like it should make sense, but he makes it work.
What is like, I mean, obviously you see him in games, but You have the luxury of seeing him in practice as well.
What's the wildest thing you've seen him do on, on the floor?
Like something where you're just like, like shaking your head.
I mean, I don't know, it happens often, so, I mean, I don't, I don't know if I could think of the wildest right now, but I feel like most recent, uh, I threw him a log like, like last week, but he was standing like in the middle of the paint and the, the rim was like behind him, and he still caught it, jumped it and turned in midair and dunked it, so.
Uh, I mean, that's probably not the wildest thing I've seen him do, but I mean, it's, it's pretty wild to throw a bad pass and your teammates still, still converted.
So I'm glad you said something like that because like, I feel like a player like him.
Just makes things easier for a guard who likes to distribute, who likes to create for others, um.
I mean, if you could sort of like describe the value that he brings, just being like, you could Like maybe Chet, maybe some other like tall lanky guys.
Other than that, there's really like you could probably throw him passes that no one else can reach um.
As someone who likes to create for others, um, what's it, what's it like playing with a unicorn like that?
It definitely makes the game a lot easier, um, especially coming off of like pick and rolls, lots, you know, you have a, a wide range that you can throw at, so, um, I mean, also just the attention that he brings.
Offense, you know, it opens up other players, you know, opens up other reads uh a lot faster.
So, uh, you know, just, just his presence, uh, him, him being on the court just helps anybody just, uh, scan in the floor.
So, uh, yeah, it's definitely a definitely a big plus having him on the court.
