I can't thank you and offer for the kind words -- certain positive -- call a lot as a at all can -- return the compliment.
-- -- But just -- -- I really enjoyed that pillow story this morning it's.
So I'm not saying my question about that with that it could I was -- on the radio was that a best segment or is that a brand new -- A follow up I thought oh my god knows about that -- -- is regarded.
And outlaws that Walt Frazier.
Was not yeah and what you were trying to do -- all saw those great.
So -- -- -- that actually said that to him last night to apply that I had a great game like keep reduced predicting so that was gonna happen he.
You have -- -- broadcasts were like but he nailed it and that's one of the things like set to -- that you know it's so easy to get so excited.
And he waited -- like finish the call and then he came in with his upbeat analysis that was he was terrific -- Is 200 -- boss saw you -- a slam sports senator Nelson all of Hannah Storm tomorrow and I don't know she's got -- general.
And all thought they were gonna batches of -- not electable shut published on -- and a senior warning years of doing NBA games in dollar terms of that long.
So are having said that put in perspective what's going on -- with Germany -- It did it's the most extraordinary thing I've seen in forty years from from where he's come in and less than two weeks.
There have them become.
It's become an international story.
And it's become more than a sports story.
And and it's because this is the ultimate underdog.
And there's very few players.
Who played me -- BA from Harvard.
There's very few players who play the NBA who -- Asian American that you have an Asian American from Harvard it is it is the ultimate.
Long shot the ultimate underdog.
And then he comes up -- you know you can use this kid -- he's so humble.
And so Timorese -- That he should just -- themselves the people and I think that's a big part of the success and to me with it reminds me of the successively Imus in the morning program.
Yeah I mean Jeremy -- he's upbeat he's happy he's positive.
He spreads short it was teammates it's just like you with whatever station the Cuban.
I was talking general of Michael hello -- Michael learn from the New York Times.

Who also went to Harvard or auto marvelous column.
A few days ago brought to the connection he feels now open following.
Jeremy land and it and you mentioned detail more than sports story the political story that is because -- All of the Asian American connection and -- -- just.
That also has a lot to enter with the fact that is an American -- Asian American Christian.
So there's there's no doubt again it's the way he carries himself the way he deflects the credit.
Com totally want to talk about is this coaching staff or want to talk about his his teammates he wants to thank the fans are expecting his mother and follow all the time.
It's it's never about him again it it reminds me the I would show what you it's never about -- about the people -- Climate at its fifth artist's talk and no -- -- -- -- to -- sharply lay out.
And about.
All.
-- has -- on there and talk and award of the next day after the Toronto game.
And I managed to make the end of it came all about me and not him about what I do at a one off with the minutes -- this reprehensible so.
Speaking -- what war looks great.
Well thanks -- we've -- office stuff now.
You're gonna have pointed to you don't already have about six months ago -- are different so there are sort of -- talk from my brain from.
Or doesn't play -- play for the next entity.
And -- overall dose of finals all of sort of thing.
All soul on that picked up your -- I don't know I think about Best Buy felon after occasionally watch it and not to rush to try to make the senator about -- but I was watching inched up some criticism about.
The -- not been able to go to always left an object and then last night thoughts on -- Dave and I have first thing years.
Was -- -- inventories left distraught a basket with his left hand to a subtle -- Well it's it's the usual wanna guy this is such a great story all these -- to those people feel the need to.
To fight the negatives as well and that that to me that's part of the charm of the -- is that.
He's not the perfect player he's got some flaws and he's got he's got a lot of various from improvement he could he could be so much better.
Com and he will be so much -- because he works hard.
But everybody likes to pick -- the -- stuffing you know what all the numbers what do you wanna talk about the turnover essentially he turned the ball over too -- try to out at least he's still just getting used to it.
But the only number that matters is seven.
Since he's been a line -- seven games seven victories that's the only number that matters.
All want to don't all players have deficiencies and I except -- what -- -- majority of the shareholders.
Now that that's exactly the point I mean -- -- no such thing as a perfect where it's it's again it's about to be everything goes back to the Imus in the morning -- -- Like your anecdotes and news stories they're not all funny.
That's -- it's something like that -- story and it's.

Minority -- they think they they talk about it here at least veterans like a guy like Tyson Chandler -- wanna championship last question with the mavericks.
He talks but Jeremy -- like like -- was in high school talking about his favorite player.
They just they -- the way the kit handles himself -- so once selfish.
-- -- that he was saying get getting a chance to play with -- lenders like a dream come true.
Because he just makes the game front then that's the other thing that I think is -- he's become so popular you know you have -- today.
Where they had a big basket and what do they do have some of them do that silly ridiculous thing relate to put the gun in the holster where they might -- Jersey side and pound on their -- so that's fine if they wanna do that all the simple of course.
That's the that's a big shot makes a great that he's got this here in the -- -- -- -- And we look scifi distinguish it looks like he's had in the time of his life like he's -- in the park have a great time and I think other people love that's the way he handled himself.
