We've talked about this a little bit, but I do think that it is worth reminding everyone.

We live in a world where your favorite basketball team has either ushered off or just completely let go some of the best players of the last 25 years.

Period.

End of story.

Just see ya.

Like Luca's going to get, he's going to overshadow everybody.

Every, all of them.

And it's really unfair to some of these other guys.

And it's wild because the Mavericks do have a special relationship in the city with a lot of people.

Like, yes, the Cowboys are sort of the default team of this city.

And that is likely or unlikely to ever change but the other

ones it's it's sort of a game of thrones and and i definitely have met diehards of all three

but it does feel like the mavericks ride has been you know it's what's that description of

playoff hockey it's a snorting cocaine while riding a motorcycle off a cliff sort of thing like

the Mavericks experience is uniquely extreme and part of it is they've had the darndest luck in finding unique players.

And they've also had the worst luck in knowing when to hold them and when to fold them.

And most of it has nothing to do with Nico Harrison.

None.

Yeah.

Again, he's going to be a blip.

So I'm watching Jalen Brunson last night again.

And every Knicks game you watch, he not only leads them, but he scores the most important baskets.
