Striker, of course. [Music] I think playing football helped me with my footwork, you know, you can take some some steps out of those sports. And then just, you know, going to Madrid and seeing all those players, seeing Cristiano like it was, it was unbelievable to see. both guys look for having outstanding long careers. I just didn’t know how I was going to fit to the NBA basketball. I wouldn’t say nothing surprised me that much. But then when you know we started the first couple games now in double figures in his NBA debut. I knew I could fit in. Let’s go big. I would just say I’m competitive everything. play a lot of cards, dominoes, chess. I think it’s just everything I do on competitive.
