  • So this has been this will be this'll be the longest journey for any champion.

  • Um, that's ever been crowned in the in the NBA.

  • So look, I'll take it.

  • I take it, you know, if if someone wanted to put a nasty bite or say it doesn't count, you know, they probably haven't really, really gone for for a goal.

  • And, you know, that's one thing about every guy there, which for sure, in particular, LeBron and the Miami Heat.

  • They both understand what's at stake and and you know it's never happened before.

  • I think that's Ah, that's quite a unique situation, and, you know, we'll see what happens.

  • And I mean the playoffs, they've been incredible.

  • I mean, the games have been incredible.

  • Um, you know, there have been some dramatic instances already, and that's just the first two rounds.

  • So I expected to get even even better as a zoo.

  • The conference finals continues to go and start.

  • Chris, every time I hear you speak your so objective in your neutral in the way you look at things, so you get to pick one.

  • Who are you picking was gonna get him on the last question to you.

  • You got LeBron, LeBron James, LeBron James and Michael Jordan.

  • You get one, you get one would be I'm not talking about you play.

  • You get one on your team.

  • What am I picking for?

  • It depends on you.

  • Come on, Chris.

  • You get one.

  • You get one, Chris, I get one.

  • Would you?

  • I mean, what you gotta put me on the spot like Come on, man.

  • This is what we do.

  • Barbershop CB This is what the Oh, look, I'm gonna go.

  • I'm gonna go.

  • I'm gonna go with Brian, Um, one, because that's my guy.

  • I played with him.

  • Um, you know, he's giving me many assists and many open shots.

  • A lot of those pocket passes.

  • Pick and roll to the basket.

  • He's responsible for you know a nice portion of my points that I got in Miami.

  • So I'm gonna go with my guy, You know what I mean?

  • But I only say that because, you know, the of I know what he brings to the table.

  • We know what MJ brings as well.

  • But Justus faras like being a teammate, you know, having fun going out there on the court, distributing the ball.

  • Not that m j is, you know, uh, less or anything We all know he was a killer.

  • Probably, you know, the greatest scorer of all time, but yeah, I'm gonna go with my God.

  • Yeah.

  • Tell me how they're different.

  • Tell me how they're different.

  • Um, Brown is more.

  • He's more of a distributor.

  • So if you watch his games, he begins the games by He works the games a little more, he passes.

  • He, um he gets his teammates involved early, and then he kind of becomes aggressive.

  • His scoring MJ.

  • Usually he had to triangle offense.

  • They mastered that and he was always looking toe to penetrate the defense.

  • Be aggressive.

  • He's going to get his 30 points.

  • LeBron is more so gonna have around 25.

  • 26 points.

  • You know, 30 points when you know 30 points 10 years ago, but now he's more.

  • You know, he's always been more of a facilitator.

  • You know, getting guys involved, very patient with the game, you know, and I might be wrong, but this is my synopsis.

  • I think he's more of a point guard.

  • Um, that's that was like anytime we were playing with the Heat.

  • I wanted him to play point, you know, because he's big, he's tall.

  • He could see the court.

  • Um, he's always going to get his guys involved.

  • And you know, he's gonna work the game.

  • He's gonna see those plays that are working.

  • He's looking at his guys spaces and saying, Okay, you know C B needs a touch.

  • Hey, we need to get Dwayne going.

  • That's where you know, That's where I think he's, um he's very good and, you know, to be quite honest, man, I was always envious of a man because he's gotten it's like everybody's like Oh my goodness, LeBron James.

  • Yeah, of course, he's been looking at offensive, you know, packages for his whole life, with the ball in his hands as a big I always wanted to do that because I'm always looking at the guys or there's some stuff behind me that I can't see.

  • The only thing that that was in front of me was usually defense, and that's why I tried to contribute.

  • But you know, in his instance, um, he's been looking at offense with the ball in his hands his whole life.

  • So he's able to see things that a lot of people can't see.
