00:00 To the surprise of many, Dallas Mavericks rookie Derek Lively
00:05 outshines number one overall pick Victor Wim Minyama
00:09 in their first NBA games.
00:11 Is this true or false?
00:13 It's true.
00:14 I mean, again, there's 82 games.
00:17 This is kind of a knee-jerk overreaction after one game.
00:21 But Derek Lively looked a lot better
00:23 than we thought he would look.
00:24 And Wim Minyama looked a lot worse than we thought.
00:27 So--
00:27 Both seven-footers.
00:29 Seven-footers, but 174.
00:30 I mean, he did look--
00:32 I mean, he had the double take and got-- is my screen out
00:34 of focus?
00:35 Is he that much taller and just long?
00:38 I mean--
00:38 Did you see the video of him stretching?
00:40 Yeah.
00:41 It looks like fake video.
00:43 Yeah.
00:43 It looks Photoshopped.
00:44 It's like, wait, what?
00:45 I didn't even know somebody could do that.
00:47 But Lively was so active.
00:50 And so, I mean, everything the Mavericks told us
00:52 he was going to be, he looked like he
00:54 was going to be around the rim, getting rebounds, seven of eight
00:57 in the finishing, outscored Wim Minyama 16 to 15.
01:01 So it's more to me about this game, if you're a Mavericks fan,
01:05 you're like, wow, that's really good.
01:06 More than this first going, oh, we got a bust.
01:08 Wim Minyama will be fine, but Derek Lively
01:10 is going to be better than we thought.
