@break_it_bill 6 жыл бұрын

True -- Burr is *always* the alpha in conversations. This was quite possibly the first time I've ever seen him let someone else in the room take over when he (Burr) was mid-sentence. Usually when that happens, he keeps on talking (part of his appeal, I don't have a problem with it) and the other person waits their turn to chime in. Here, Burr was totally giving the right of way to Gretzky each time he wanted to chime in. (not just this clip so much as the entire interview this clip is from)

For example, if there was a loose puck virtually nobody could beat him to it due to his quickness and anticipation.
