Coach of the ever. I got a text for my guy Levi. He said, bro, he's better than Braun. I mean, can you argue? I don't know. Dude, like this shit. What we're watching like he's changing the fabric of the sport. And I always felt like he would change the fabric of how the sport is covered but he's starting to change the fabric |
| 0:57.4 | of how the sport is played by his peers too like the race this portal has been for experience guys |
