And the Can you talk about a player or a moment where you were like,

and like messed up his head and maybe changed the game?

Oh no you don't you you don't really have to talk a lot because the fans see it right and and that

player is over there waving his hand and all you doing is saying you you looking

at him like he don't pass it to you or why am I guard you as a matter of fact and yeah you you would talk to different players and you would be running down the court and you'd be like, hey, this time,

I'm not going to even guard you.

You send that to people?

Absolutely.

Let's see if he throw you the ball.

And then I run away and just double team and then I come back to him and go,

I guess he didn't pass it to you, huh?

What that does to the opponent psychologically?

It definitely like, you know, ruins his feel good about himself and then by the way when you when he does finally get a chance to shoot it or get to touch it and he misses that shot and then you run back and you go hey man this I know it's it's

hard to make a shot when you ain't touched the ball in the last 10 minutes, huh?

You said that to people.

Oh, absolutely. That was the mental and psychological game that you played out on the floor.

Isaiah Thomas is a two-time NBA champion and NCA a champion

and he was the short champion and he ran his team

the Detroit bad boy pistons with toughness they battled in an era when it was Jordan, it was Larry Bird, it was Magic

Johnson. He played against Kareem, Abdul Jabbar. So he had to be the mentally toughest and the physically toughest of them all.
