But it didn't surprise me honestly, with why I felt like he can.

He can.

He can really submit who he is right now as far as being an upper level All star and for him to get to his right hand.

I just I thought that was interesting, because here it is.

We're talking about a finals M v p.

Whose calm cool collect because he carried them the last two minutes of that game When guys last two minutes got I mean, when I saw when I saw a deer and headlines like, uh, quiet.

You take the ball.

Yes.

I don't want to You take it because you see that sometimes from a competitive standpoint, you can look in the eyes of your teammates with the okay.

This is okay.

Let me let me help him along.

But recognizing that he had the calm of Okay, I'm not gonna be rushed in what I do.

He got the ball, and it was just amazing how they allowed him to get to his right hand.

If anything, you want that star player to make a shot that he's not comfortable with you want to send him to his His other hand.

Make him uncomfortable in the moment, That's all.

Not saying you're going to stop him, but don't let him get to his right hand.

And then, as we see in that video, Ben Simmons.

Well, it stops right here.

Look at this is game seven.

You're walking.

This is Game seven.

There is no tomorrow.

I will say it wasn't bad TVs, but you make a good point because MB does help from his right.

So indeed, he should cut him off there, because if he does, Ben Simmons is standing right there to contest is, well, now, where way?

Teach in the game, you don't go at the player, you pick a spot and where he's going to go there.

So he's coming with a head of state.

You can't go to it because now you just leveled the playing field.

You always pick a spot ahead.

But more importantly, Ben Simmons has to continue to stay in the play any he trots.

There is still a 2nd 1.1 seconds to go a year.

Try T C.

That's Ennis, and it's no disrespect to Ben Simmons what it is.

It's a learning opportunity.

It is now time to get a little deeper.

We go into a a u basketball.

We go into high school basketball, we go to college.

Guys aren't being taught what they used to be taught when Jalen was that fat fire, that finding that fire was fabulous because of the way they have been taught prior to coming together and the way the game was then it was about how can I make that guy better?

It is weeks ago.

Play pickup, you get on a run.

You may not know a guy, but you guys run four straight games because you just kind of allowed the basketball essence of needs to take over.

So in this, this is one of those situations where Philly will will hate to learn this lesson, but it's just like as a parent, you can't save your kid from fallen.

You gotta allow him to experience that cement so that he understands or she understands this is life, and how you bounce back is when you get up, dust yourself off and what you do, and we will discuss the future of 76 in a second.

But right now, I just think we'll take a moment to celebrate Kawai letters performance.

Not just in that final shot, not just in this game where he had to take 39 shots.

He was not very efficient, but he had to take those 39 shots.

And if you look at his numbers in this series, look at that.

We just 35 points a game over 50% from the field, 33% from three and 10 rebounds a game.

Vastra meant Can I do a media thing and take it way too far?

No, go ahead.

I'm a recency Bias, this is Coral entered the best player in the MBA Considering what?

He doesn't both ends of the field.

And I can't I must say I'm ago with a yes on o t o.

So you look at what he does and limiting the top player.

You know, he, Jimmy Butler, was where, uh, what was Jimmy yesterday?

He had that initiate the room video that feel it was transition.

It's right in the half court when they were jumped dribbling all around you.

A lot of times call.

I was on Jimmy.

And seeing this is the evolution of Kwai where when he first came into the game, someone asked me in San Antonio Will he be able to be, You know, like you said, No.

He's gonna be better than me.

This is a young kid you haven't always celebrated Kawhi Leonard in your of your career know exactly.

But what I said at that time is this young man is not with his teeth.

It was about what he was doing is about his actions.

It wasn't about his talent and who he could be.

I was going off of what was going on right then and there.

It doesn't take away from Italian.

I think sometimes that gets crossed because people here or something Oh, he's being critical of that guy or he's being negative.

It has nothing to do with that person.

Skill is when I don't see that skill set being display and something that I saw in the game yesterday that you saw as well.

And everyone who watched it saw the rafters got shook.

If you were not a name co I Leonard, it just felt like you did not want to throw the ball at the basket.

Me, There's times they were just they would get the bones.

But where's quite was, quite was quite Jacoby.

And when have they had this feeling where they could truly depend on one guy late in the game?

Damar?

Maybe.

But now what I'm saying, and it's no disrespect to him.

But you remember when he and Kyle were the ones that took the boat load of shots and others didn't have a chance, and that did not work that well, it didn't work the large sample size of playoff games when that didn't work.

That's right, miss.

I your he saw something quiet.

Hey, I'm gonna make this deal because I know it will possibly get us over the hump, someone that is good enough and and the numbers show it.

I mean, his consistency was off the charts as faras this this round as well as around before, and we haven't seen it.

But even previous playoff performances from choir when he was with the Spurs, just been a few years as we've seen exactly.

And so and you got you got accustomed to seeing him in San Antonio, and you can say, Oh, Well, this Lamarque is OAS.

Manu is Tony.

Well, no, he's He's there now with the opportunity of carrying the TV.

And that's exactly what we saw in that.

I must say that three minute span where there was he was missing shots at one point.

Was your 16 for 39?

Yeah, he But you know, what he said in this post game interview was that my shot was short.

So my last show, I want to make sure I got it up.

I want to get more are gonna be a little startling.

And those are things that I hear that it's like music because he's making the adjustment of what had taken place.

Whereas other guys, they missed the shot they are.

They're so far in their own heads that they can't even make the adjustment.

So as a shooter, when you shoot a shot short, you know OK, I need to get it up a little bit orifice of those strong.

Let me get a little bit more air under eso.
