All right, let's recenter this deal. Let's get pistons focused because I've said it. I don't

0:06.3

think a lot of people know a lot of these players. Well, Rico, he nerds out on it and he is

0:11.3

going to set up in your mind. What is this? The five players, the six, but now if they take

0:17.7

someone who's not on this list, we are going to break your balls and unholy fashion tomorrow.

0:22.9

But this is exciting. Now, do we have subpar music for this? Yes, we do. All right, Rico,

0:29.0

take us through it. All right, Mike. Well, first of all, we're going to start with the Thompson

0:34.9

twins, a man Thompson, who could be going at four or he could be going at five, play with

0:42.3

overtime elite six, seven. Here's the thing. His pros, he's quick, good passer to great
