0:00.0	He's the most improbable, unguarded player I've ever seen because it's balance, footwork,
0:08.2	strength, IQ, and then this other rare quality of not being affected by the moment.
0:18.4	In fact, being built for the moment.
0:19.9	There were people sneaking this guy running up behind this guy. It was terror. The guy
0:24.3	took three steps and it was like the Red Sea parted. And I was saying it on the broadcast
0:28.0	repeatedly. I don't understand why they're not initiating steps with Dylan Harper. I don't
0:33.4	care how old he is. I don't care if Dylan Harper was 12 years old. If that's what he looks like and he looks that comfortable, let him go, man. Welcome to the show. Today, I've got Tim
