You know, we were talking earlier about, you know, the game of the NBA and how, you know, coaches and players have talked about how the seasons wait too long.

0:20.4

Nobody's going to take any

0:21.1

less money, but the game has changed significantly. I mean, really significantly, and it has been

0:26.0

changed it for 20 years. And now it's gotten to the point where everybody's just trying to

0:30.0

run up and down to court. Nobody really wants to play defense. I don't say nobody, but people just

0:34.7

aren't playing the way that they would normally play in a game that didn't involve the three-point shooting. You know, back in the day when, you know, Dean Smith would go four corners.
