00:00Historical. If no one's ever done it to your point, I'm just going to say historical.

00:06And he continues to put up stat lines that, you know, no one ever. I think he's one assist shy of a triple double in the first three quarters.

00:15So his impact on the game and the most important part of it is we're 12 and three in the last 15.

00:21Like these numbers are translating to wins. These are not empty stats.

00:26He's not hollow numbers. And you add the two blocks and the guy's averaging almost two steals a game.

00:33So, you know, you think about his 10 years here, you think about the three MVPs, you think about the championship, the finals MVP.

00:42And this is the best season he's ever had. And that's saying a lot.

00:46So just continued greatness. And what you love about that, Matt, is that it shows that he's never satisfied.

00:53He's hungry. He's determined. He wants to be better. And he's going to do whatever he has to do to help this team win.

00:59So just another historical performance by a great player.
