- 17:04Speaker 2: Yeah, if they were like, that's a lot of TJ's
- 17:08Speaker 2: on one team, and then like I can't think of

- 17:13Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, but good for
- 17:15Speaker 2: them for finding that random coincidence.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Reggie Miller played all his years with the Pacers, all
- 17:21Speaker 1: those tjs. I'm not familiar with their careers. They might
