We have a winning championships, Tom, the New York Knicks say, yeah, the NBA Cup was awesome. We respect it, so much fun. We played hard, and they did. We're just not raising a banner because that's not a real championship title, which I agree, and also understand this, Tom. Like, I don't like contrived things in sports. Why I hate ball games. It means nothing, absolutely nothing. The NBA Cup, if you didn't play it as if you wanted the NBA to be so serious, it would probably be acceptable. More like, hey, we just won the cup. That's great. We got a trophy. We got a half million bucks. We celebrate in Vegas and move forward. The fact that they tried to put it on is that's an actual title and said, you know what, be a good partner, Lakers and hang this. Same thing with you, Milwaukee. The Knicks would have stunted that and like, yeah, it's fun. We played hard and we won it. We love it, but come on now. This is an NBA Cup in December. We won a championship. You won a championship. That's when you hang a banner, Tom. Yeah, to your point, allowing things to happen naturally and see where the players want to give effort and where the teams want to give effort, that's where the team and the league should be doubling down on and, and allow it to happen naturally. Forcing teams to do this or do that and, and have to participate in this, that's where. Things are forced, that's where they don't want to, you know, spend too much effort. They don't want players to get hurt for something that's meaningless when it's all said and done. So, as long as the natural competitiveness is there for the teams and the franchises, that's what the league should be leaning into, in my opinion. Don't force things on a team and say like, oh, you have to be participating in something.
