I'm gonna give you two guys and then I'm gonna give you a question, uh, about the guys, right? I want to see if we're on the same page and I'm gonna give you information that might change your mind, OK? So let me just start randomly with two, I don't know, let me think of high profile guys, OK? So I'll give you Luke Aonchik, arguably the best player in basketball. I think he, he and Tyrese Max you 1 or 2 right now for points per game, right? And I'm gonna give you Draymond Green. All right, so Luke. Not Shair, Draymond Green here. Which of those guys would you say is a better guy? Just better dude, dude, yeah, uh, Luca, Luca is a better guy, yeah, because I'm not gonna get kicked in the groin hanging with Luca. I'm with you might get, you know, Roper don't punch it right when I'm not looking like he did the pool. We talked about so we agree Luca is a better guy. Alright, that's the one. who would you say all those two guys who just use the same two guys is a better teammate Lucaonia. Or Draymond Green. Uh, this one's different. OK, um, you gotta put everything in. Take it all in. Um, let's go Draymond on that one. OK. Better guy Luca, better teammate Draymond, only because what they said about Luca in Dallas being lazy and stuff, they, they never questioned the effort. He has Steph's back. Fair enough. He had Clay's back. Now I'm gonna tell you the story and let's see if your answer changes, OK? So Luga Day uh went home. Uh, where is he from? Latvia or something like that, Slovenia, whatever. All right. And Luke Gany's gonna miss some Laker games. He went home because his wife, who apparently is still in the native country, uh, is giving birth, uh, to their child. Yes, it was, it was a doctor related. That's where their doctor was. OK, so the doctor there, obviously they want the child to be born in their native country. Totally understand that it's wrong, but I understand why you wanna do that. You should be. Born here, get all the benefits of being an American citizen. You always get dual citizenship. Why you want to be born in some third world country? I don't know. Got great doctors in LA. We got the best doctors, but they decided we're gonna give birth in our native land. They like their doctor. OK, great. So Luca is taking a small leave of absence from the Lakers to be there when his wife gives birth. OK, OK. Now many people might say that makes him a really good guy. Some people might say that makes him a bad teammate because we've had this conversation a million times over. You know, you're a professional athlete, you only have a certain amount of days you have to work, you know, as much as it sucks, makes you a bad husband perhaps, you know, we're paying you a lot of money to play, right? The flip side is Draymond Green just had another child with his beautiful wife and he was on a road trip with Golden State Warriors and he made the decision. I'm playing basketball. I'm on a road trip with the Warriors. They pay me to play and he went on a podcast and said, it sucks. I hated to have to have done it, but I've got a responsibility to my team and my teammates and the guys that pay me to play basketball. And I was on a road trip, so I, I, I lived up to my professional responsibilities. So now I ask you, Draymond. did not go to the hospital with his wife to give birth to another child. Luke Aon she did go. Who's the better guy? Who's the better teammate? Draymon Draymond. This is pro sports. This is pro sports, right? This is a accountant job. You go to work. This is pro sports, and you can't, you know, criticize either of them, but it's interesting.
