And I've said this before, I think another thing, if we were doing the foreign players thing right, we would be doing it like boxing with the xenophobic, nationalistic sort of spin that we do with every fight. Like, I do remember when Floyd came out to fight Oscar De La Hoya in a sombrero. I'm not saying we should do that in the NBA. I'm not saying we should do that in the NBA.

People just love Victor Wimby. Yeah, they love him. I made the same mistake because... I don't know if you guys remember the Adrian report where it was like people were saying he's the best prospect of any sport ever. So I had this bid on the show where I was like, oh, he's the best prospect since Satchel Paige and Ty Cobb. Like, I would come up with some old whatever every time.

And like, because, you know, I was like kind of a little bit doubting it at first. And my goodness, man. Like, whatever. Twitter is just what it is. But in person, people would be like, I heard what you said about Wimpy. You're crazy. You're wrong. Blah, blah, blah. Like, you're right about the Wemby investment. So, like, I do think he has major potential.

I think Wemby's broken through, honestly, in terms of culture. Like, even when Britney Spears got beat up by his bodyguards at Summer League for trying to talk to him that one time. God damn, what? I'm just saying, you don't remember Britney Spears wanted his picture. I know, but you throwing so much gas on that. Britney Spears got beat up. That's how she represented it on the internet.
