00:00 You know what gets tiresome is like the people criticizing Nicole's defense
00:04 because he doesn't average three blocks a game. But if you really are a
00:09 basketball purist and you watch the game and you see he's got some of the best
00:12 hands in the NBA, bar none. I think he's top five or six in deflections per game.
00:17 He breaks up passes with his feet. He had a big block at the end going up
00:22 getting vertical. So he's never gonna, you know, out-athleticize anybody but he is
00:27 going to outsmart you. Tremendous anticipation, great hands and I think one
00:32 of the most underrated defenders in the entire NBA. Dude is just incredible and
00:36 it's stuff that people don't realize. Obviously he had, I don't know how much he had, 35, 17, and 12.
00:42 Like amazing but like it's the other stuff you know that makes that, that
00:48 makes that possible for him.
