04:56 Let's start with the imports.
04:59 Who's the hardest to guard?
05:02 Third kill.
05:05 How do you recall?
05:08 Did you get kicked?
05:11 No, I'm just doing things to annoy you.
05:14 You can't guard those imports.
05:17 The build of the body, the talent, and the skill are different.
05:20 It's really hard to guard imports.
05:23 Especially back then, when it was 6'7" and 6'8".
05:26 There was no one like Brownlinglinga,
05:29 who was only 6'4" or 6'5".
05:32 Norman Black was just okay.
05:35 There was a small difference.
05:38 Back then, the import of the inebriate,
05:41 who was with Bates, the great rugby player?
05:44 Hacket.
05:47 Hacket was like a three-legged horse.
05:50 It was a different import.
05:53 It was better.
05:56 When you entered the league,
05:59 the big names were Ramon Fernandez,
06:02 and David Guilaben.
06:05 I'm sure you had your chance to guard them.
06:08 First kill, Ramon Fernandez.
06:11 How hard was it to defeat the franchise before?
06:14 I was just a mature player.
06:17 I was a mature player.
06:20 I was just a mature player.
06:23 I was just a mature player.
06:26 I was just a mature player.
06:29 I was just a mature player.
06:32 I was just a mature player.
06:35 I was just a mature player.
06:38 I was just a mature player.
