00:00I haven't given up, you know, on All-Stars still being competitive, entertaining games for the fans.
00:06That's certainly not where we were this year.
00:12We went back to the drawing board, we had direct conversations with many of the players,
00:16many of the perennial All-Stars to talk about what it is that we could put together from a competitive standpoint.
00:22And I'm optimistic this year that we landed on a formula that will work.
00:31I would say Victor has exceeded my expectations.
00:34It's definitely a milestone. It's not too early though. It's not too early.
00:41He just turned 21 and LeBron just turned 40. So there's the opportunity for 19 years of excellence.
00:49Being rewarded like that to be a replacement or be an All-Star, being named by Adam Silver, I don't take that lightly.
01:03And I felt like I was earning my keep as well, just in this league to be respected as one of the top 24, top 25, whatever, top 26 players in the league or in the world.
01:20For him to not only achieve but to exceed the expectations and continue to do so, that's just remarkable.
01:30You don't really see that. You see people who have a lot of expectations and maybe more times than not get there.
01:36But he's exceeded it and it's unbelievable. So, I mean, he's obviously one of the good ones for sure.
