Yeah, but I also know that there's a difference in nervousness. There's a nervousness that I have where it's like, I'm just ready to play and I wanna do great, and there's a nervousness I didn't prepare. So I've learned the two feelings where it's like, oh, Slim, you feeling nervous, why? Because you didn't prepare. You don't feel like you're prepared for this situation.

You don't feel like you're prepared for this opportunity. That's on you. And this is me self-talking. And then it's like the other parts where it's like, no, Slim, you're just nervous because you're ready to go hoop. You good. You prepared. You did all your work. You did your workouts. You did your treatment, all that. Your routine is set.

But it's the other times when I let one thing get me out of my space, and then now I'm like, damn, am I ready? Am I going to hit a shot? Am I going to? And I done seen all 36 of these players for years, and I'm sitting up here questioning, can you guard them, Slim? Can you do this? Can you go score against them? When you was getting buckets on them in 5-on-5, so what's the difference?

So it was just having that self-talk.

For real. You know? It's a real thing. Like, you don't realize how quick. Confidence can come and go off of a situation or instance. I think for me, just building that confidence from being injured. Yeah. And then you kind of go into the background and you come back and you think all these eyes are on you. And it's really just you and your own head. Yeah.

Because you got your eyes on your own self and you looking internal, which isn't a bad thing. But then you get too deep and now you can't come out of your own shit because you're too busy worrying about all the other shit that hasn't even happened yet.

Right where my feet are. Like, literally.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, man. Like, is somebody going to put a stop to this topic? These walls are very thin. These walls are very thin, let me tell you. Every damn time, you just hear a hootie-hoot in the damn hallway. No, I think they are successful in their own way, right? They have, and I quote Shakira, They are down-to-earth crash outs.

They're all down-to-earth beings, all cool and delightful, but they all crash out in their own way. OK. But no, I just think you've got a real nice combo of guards and posts. You've got two mobile posts. I call them hybrids, like these type of posts, right? They can shoot. They can move. They're mobile.
