Hey, Patch, before I let you go, I got one more question. Give me a hard one, man. Don't give me the... Don't give me the hard questions that the guy in the back who ain't never played basketball told you. It's on the way. It's on the way, because you caused some chaos. You said James Harden was better all-time than D-Wade. And, you know, after these playoffs, I've seen some of your tweets, you kind of walked it back a little bit. Has your stance changed? No. Okay. And I mean that with all respect, right, to both parties, right? You talk about a... And it's easy to dissect now because obviously James Harden, he lost, but he did lose to the Knicks. But to me, and the problem with the old generation, the new generation, not us, the generation that's ahead of us, and the middle generation, like us, a lot of people don't respect longevity. But we respect longevity. The people that played before us don't respect longevity. The casual fan expect a person at 36, 37-year-old to produce like he was producing when he was 25, 26, right? Longevity to me matters. How long you can do something matters to me, right? We go points. We go assists. We go rebounds. We go everything down except I don know steals and probably blocks James Harden you know wins that in every category We talk about wins We talk about MVPs We talk about MVPs on the regular season. We talk about points per game, right? James Harden wins that. And my argument is only based off individual basketball, right? I can't tell you. Is it games that we should have won in the playoffs that we lost because of beer? Of course. Of course. Is it games that that Miami Heat should have lost against the Spurs when, you know, Brick, Brick, Trey, they can't get rebound, come back out. Ray Allen hit three. They could have won or lost that game. Right. I think championships comes with the team. I don't think you can point up into individual accolades. I don't think you can put that on championship because a championship is team. I'm talking about if we was in a gym right now and we lined up our team, y'all telling me y'all three telling me on TV in front of everybody. Y'all picking D-Wade first before James Harden, playing against him and teammates with him, and there's no disrespect to D-Wade. Understood. No, no, no. That was a question. I'd probably take D-Wade. I'm taking D-Wade. Because he can play both sides of the ball, too. So especially one-on-one. Patch, I got to get you to come back. Hey, Lou, you didn't answer the question, Lou. I got to get you to come back, but we up on time. Make sure y'all like and subscribe to the new Pat Bev channel. Patch, I'll see you on the other side. I'm gonna answer the question.
