And this week, yes, we were literally talking about giants. David and Goliath, it's a classic. And when we think about David and Goliath, we tend to think in terms of the underdog story. That's kind of how we tend to hear this, is how it gets used in the culture. I remember in 2015, when the Golden State Warriors-- we're going up against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA finals. At that time, the Warriors were still underdogs. And it was almost a physically obvious kind of underdog thing. They were led by Steph Curry. Steph, a graduate of Davidson College, also my alma mater. So we will support him, whatever he does in his career. And everyone here is now a Steph Curry fan. You always will be. And if you're not, you can just leave. And so Steph Curry, he says he's 6'3. But that's probably not true. He's probably 6'1, 6'2. He puts his under armor. I think that's his shoes on. And then he's 6'3. And he's got a really slight build. He still looks like he's 15. I think he's 33. Really, really 16. And he has a kind of slight build. And here he is as the MVP of the NBA. And he's leading this team against Mighty King James. LeBron James in the prime of his career, going back to Cleveland to try and win a title. And LeBron James, as you know, is 6'9, 250 pounds. I'm 6'2, 250 pounds. The difference between us is that LeBron James has 0% body fat. It's all muscle. He's an absolute tank. The strength of Shaquille O'Neal in his prime and also-- but the grace and the fluidity of Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, generally considered to be one of the top three players in the history of the game. And for those of you who think he's the best, look, I hate him so much that I'm stopping a Lakers fan just because I can't deal with it and I can't wait till he retires. God bless you, LeBron James. OK, so here was a David and Goliath story for the ages, right? Here's-- you know, this is what the David and Goliath-- you have little Steph versus giant LeBron. You know, and so all of America at that time was rooting for Steph and the Warriors.
