Not watching or listening. You are right, I can't really make an honest observation of it. Just noticing that it happens every game.

Also, just picked up his second foul. So, he's done till the second half.

I wasn't aware of the frequency either. Just read that statement and found it a little off. No hard feelings. We can agree on the fact that this is undoubtedly the biggest advertisement for our basketball program ever.

I do not think in international ball they are use to all of the reaching in he does on steals. I think they are more physical on rebounding and shot blocking. It will be interesting to see the game on the small screen.
