00:00But I thought it was interesting that Shams had the report that LeBron reached out to Nick Nurse.
00:06They spoke.
00:06How important do you think that was in the decision process?
00:09Because I think Gansey obviously was a huge reason.
00:12Jalen Brown was a huge reason.
00:13But also the coach has to be a reason to come here because he would have chosen Miami knowing what
00:18he had in Eric Spolstra.
00:20He chose the Sixers not having played for Nick Nurse but obviously going on his reputation alone.
00:25The one thing about Nick Nurse that I think is overlooked is he has experience with a roster like this.
00:32It's not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison.
00:36But that 2019 Toronto roster that won a championship his age is extremely well.
00:42Personalities, a lot of different personalities, a lot of mercurial personalities, especially if you get to know Kyle Lowry.
00:50Especially if you get to know somebody like a Fred Van Vliet as well.
00:53So, you know, there are a lot of alphas on that Toronto team.
00:58I think that, you know, in the locker room, I think that Kawhi being, you know, as quiet as he
01:03is, I think that helped as well.
01:04But Nick Nurse has experience with a star-studded roster like this.
01:09So, you know, I think that will help this team, this specific roster going into this season.
01:15And I think that Nick will figure out how to best utilize this roster on the floor.
01:24And then, here we go.
