I mean, his ability is off the charts and to see him sharp and executing today the way we all know he’s capable of, but it’s still sometimes is a shock to see how beautiful the game is when it’s in his hands… The vets are leading the way, showing what it takes to be a pro in this league and to come in prepared.”
