Like this defense, because you haven't seen anything like it.
That was the best defensive team I ever played against.
And I played against the mid-90s Knicks teams, those Pacers teams, the Heat.
These were great defensive teams, but nothing really, to me, was really on the level because of the athletic ability, quickness, and length of those Bulls teams.
And now it's like a different level of demoralization with what Wemby can do.
With the ground he covers and the amount of coverage in the lane, I don't know what that even looks like to these guys on the court.
I'd be fascinated to drop into a virtual world and see what that looks like with Wemby on the court putting his arms out to the side and how difficult that must look to score.
Anyone?
And now I want to see him.
I want to see like, so now I've got a little bit of a sample of it with the two guys I mentioned.
Now, if that starts happening on a regular basis where it's just like this overwhelming frustration for some of these guys, it's going to be fascinating.
The other thing he's changed, Bill, like we're talking about, he got functionally stronger.
Like what has he added?
He's meaner.
I love it.
He's meaner because he's a little older, man.
He was young, foreign-born player coming into the league, super hyped, really thin, and, like, guys trying to get up in him when he was handling the ball.
He had a lot of turnovers that first 15, 20 games he played.
And we're like, okay...
Okay, I guess that 7-5 handle is not going to work in this league after all.
