Stephen Curry. just an outstanding special player that has brought back a lost art in basketball, and that is the ability to shoot the ball. going kind of off that now. can Stephen Curry be stopped . great one. that was great, russ. we all talk about why doesnt somebody knock him town. the game as changed so much. because of that, i think we all have to recognize that that young man is a special talent just like a lot of the other guys in our league. theyre a special talent. he can get it done in a lot of ways. the thing i like about him, he has brought back shooting the ball. being able to shoot the ball. ive got about 30 seconds left. when you talk to players, what do you think was special about it. i think what most people like is the fact that we have put together a program such as our Legends Program to reach out to the former player because i think you find out sometimes by going through the league that a lot of guys are and so we, as the cavaliers, were allowed to reach out to those guys and let them know theyre cavaliers for life. all right. legend. director of alumni affairs. thank you. we cant expect you to go no. im over 50. happen. appreciate you. thats all for this week. i will see you monday at 6 00. minutes. have a great weekend. to watch this segment again, all right. it is a great day to kickoff a very springlike week. maybe you have plans. we want to know what the forecast is like. its brisk this morning. things will improve. hit close to 60 degrees downtown tomorrow. mid60s by tuesday. so this is all ahead of that cold front thats going to bring some rain our way on wednesday and thursday. the next long stretch, seven ten days, looking more like spring. i was going to say, if you have that cold front in the 50s, were over the hump, it feels like. praying it is so. thanks so much for being with us this morning.
