It's always good to run in and so many people here at Summer League and here on the PHLY Sixers podcast.

We had a chance to speak with Eddie Johnson from Sirius XM Radio and Sun's television.

And we had a wide range of conversation about Joel and B, the team, and Paul George, and what their expectations were.

I truly love the way that he plays.

And the thing with him, he's just got to find a way.

As you get older in this league, you have to find shortcuts in things that you probably used to do when you were younger.

And I think he understands what his harm's way for him in regards to his injuries that he gets.

And sometimes you've got to just stay away from those.

You know, you're not going to be racing with a Volkswagen going against a Porsche, right?

He's so dominant inside.

And I think he has to get to that point where he understands that.

So how much do you put into that part of it? Because when we watch him on an everyday basis and you watch him so much,

you do see that he has mastered that 15 to 17 hang dribble pull-up jumper
