      <p begin="00:00:00.800" end="00:00:04.110">NICK WRIGHT: I am personally offended by this question,</p>
      <p begin="00:00:04.110" end="00:00:07.005">even though that is not on you, nor is it on the--</p>
      <p begin="00:00:07.005" end="00:00:08.820">our wonderful production staff. </p>
      <p begin="00:00:08.820" end="00:00:14.570">I am so concerned that the correct answer</p>
      <p begin="00:00:14.570" end="00:00:18.230">could be the latter rather than the former.</p>
      <p begin="00:00:18.230" end="00:00:22.490">And the only way this kid busts is injury,</p>
      <p begin="00:00:22.490" end="00:00:23.750">which is why I'm concerned. </p>
      <p begin="00:00:23.750" end="00:00:24.840">Now, it-- </p>
      <p begin="00:00:24.840" end="00:00:25.640">- The only way? </p>
      <p begin="00:00:25.640" end="00:00:27.410">NICK WRIGHT: The only way he busts.</p>
      <p begin="00:00:27.410" end="00:00:31.070">He is, if healthy, he's 20 points a game.</p>
      <p begin="00:00:31.070" end="00:00:32.210">And to me, that's not a bust. </p>
      <p begin="00:00:32.210" end="00:00:34.130">Like, now if you consider, you're the number one</p>
      <p begin="00:00:34.130" end="00:00:35.930">overall pick and you don't make the Hall of Fame,</p>
      <p begin="00:00:35.930" end="00:00:37.220">I don't know about any of that. </p>
      <p begin="00:00:37.220" end="00:00:41.840">But this guy-- this young man, we saw it in the preseason.</p>
      <p begin="00:00:41.840" end="00:00:44.940">You saw it at the highest levels of college basketball.</p>
      <p begin="00:00:44.940" end="00:00:48.200">In the world of the greatest athletes in the world,</p>
      <p begin="00:00:48.200" end="00:00:51.290">he is a one percenter of the one percenters.</p>
      <p begin="00:00:51.290" end="00:00:58.490">And so it is concerning to me, as someone who-- bless you--</p>
      <p begin="00:00:58.490" end="00:01:01.940">makes his living and has gotten such an enormous part</p>
      <p begin="00:01:01.940" end="00:01:06.140">of the individual joy in my life, outside of my family,</p>
      <p begin="00:01:06.140" end="00:01:10.710">by watching superhuman athletes do superhuman things.</p>
      <p begin="00:01:10.710" end="00:01:14.690">It's not just that this guy is a great basketball player.</p>
      <p begin="00:01:14.690" end="00:01:19.460">It's that he's one of the special athletes,</p>
      <p begin="00:01:19.460" end="00:01:21.500">and that's one of the reasons I love the NBA.</p>
      <p begin="00:01:21.500" end="00:01:23.930">Like, KD, for example, coming out of Texas,</p>
      <p begin="00:01:23.930" end="00:01:25.240">we knew he'd be amazing-- </p>
      <p begin="00:01:25.240" end="00:01:26.040">- Right. </p>
      <p begin="00:01:26.040" end="00:01:27.473">NICK WRIGHT: --and his skill set was unique</p>
      <p begin="00:01:27.473" end="00:01:29.360">and the fact that he's a seven-footer could do it.</p>
      <p begin="00:01:29.360" end="00:01:33.340">But he didn't, for me, give me the thrill watching</p>
      <p begin="00:01:33.340" end="00:01:35.330">that someone who looks like they can fly can,</p>
      <p begin="00:01:35.330" end="00:01:36.800">and that's what Zion can. </p>
      <p begin="00:01:36.800" end="00:01:39.260">And so I still would say superstar.</p>
      <p begin="00:01:39.260" end="00:01:40.910">But a knee injury before you play</p>
      <p begin="00:01:40.910" end="00:01:45.410">one NBA game is about the worst-case scenario,</p>
      <p begin="00:01:45.410" end="00:01:48.100">and that's the track he's on and I hate it.</p>
