I'd be risky. I'd best, like, punched in the face. Honestly, I respect him so much. He's, like, he's carrying the team. Oh my god. Hi. Oh, he's so cute. Wait. Look at this. This is my grandpa. Hi, Rank. Do you think Spurs fans have always been this kind? Yeah. I think it's like a Gregg Popovich effect. How about that? Those are Spurs fans. They're all nicely managed. Mary Gill, Tony Parker, Montez No I can't do this. Tim Tim Duncan. I can't do this. You have to do this. I can't do this. Joan Joan, wait. You have to. Worst fans are so nice. I'm worried they don't have what it takes to win. They kinda low key like the Knicks. Could I get, 15 tequila shots? Mary no? Excuse me. What the had a sticker on it? This might feel like home, but it isn't home. I'm gonna go watch the game at a Knicks bar. New York.
