  Speaker 2: you know, excelling. Want to see Hawk get healthy. You know,

• 1:28
  Speaker 2: what we knew about the guys we've had here in
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years. It's no it's a secret.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Why why we've won the championship the last two years.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It's like these Uh, it's the people.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Andrea, I watched their entire game with the Celtics
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the other I just love watching him out there. He
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: just knows how to play the game right. He's not
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: gonna light it up, maybe offensively, but you can tell
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: his teammates, you know, like having him around because he
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: moves the ball, he gets everybody involved. He's he's a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: complete basketball player on that level.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean there's you know, there's skills, and it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you know, Andre's shooting's improved a lot, and uh, I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: think he'll continue to learn, uh how to be a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: threat there offensively. But it's a great screener and his
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: defense and and uh you know the rebounding peace and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and and uh. But there's like, you know, teams also,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you know, like there's those characteristics and qualities like that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you want to have as part of your identity and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and and your your your like chemical makeup of your team,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like like fire and intensity and and and wanting to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: win badly. Like it's not you know, you don't want
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: sports just to become like a shooting contest, you know
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like you want we don't want to
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: ruin sports and take characters out of sports, which are
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: like the athletes or the coaches that uh are are
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: desperate to win and bring an intensity to the court
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: or the sidelines that make people fans of sports. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: think people love sports because they see people giving their
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: all for their team to win. And Andre certainly does.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, about a minute left with Dan Gonzaga. You knocked
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: them out in Vegas, then you went to Seattle, you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: beat them. This team I watched them the other night
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: start to finish with Kentucky. They got a good club.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Kentucky's really good and it was a great college game.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Having these college games and these non conference you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: battles to me make the season really get off to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a good start here in November and December.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it gives you a chance to try
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to build a resume for yourself and also to to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: play teams that are you know, for us, you've had

  Speaker 2: and some of those teams, the teams that could advance
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and win games or get to a final four and

  Speaker 2: get another chance. With this Gonzaga team, you know, there's
• 3:53
