And then I talked to Kenny Atkinson a few weeks ago and, and just talking about their team, their season and whatever.

And,

What he was saying about Lonzo Ball and what he was seeing led me to think going into that first game we called Cavs-Knicks that now I was really anticipating his impact.

And it's so obvious when he got on the court.

Yeah.

And Bill, here's how I describe him.

And there's not that many guys I would describe in this way.

His sole reason for existing on a basketball court is to make guys better on his own team.

And man, as a shooter that I love when I played with guys that even tried to think that way, it's just so fun to play with them because that's, it's really, and he's going to take his shots and he's going to read defenses and you know, he'll do his thing, but it's, it's really all about if you're willing to expend energy offensively with running and cutting and movement,

then he is going to absolutely make your life easier and make everything easier for you as a scorer.

And I saw it even that night.

His advanced passes are on that level with like a Jason Kidd, a Steve Nash, where the ball is thrown on a rope up the sideline, 30 or 40 feet, and it's kind of a subtle thing you don't notice, but it puts so much pressure on the defense running back that it leads to awesome secondary offense.

And Lonzo is so good at the advanced pass.

And I think you're right.

This is going to be one of those role player acquisitions that we're going to be talking about having a major impact all season long.

I think Al Horford's another one of those in Golden State.

Those are going to be two examples of guys that join teams and systems.

I know, I didn't mean to put you in a bad mood with the Horford talk.

I would have said that after probably the first half of the first game because I'm sitting there like everybody.

And, you know, we obviously shut it down last year and we saw things last year too.
