The G.O.A.T. in that respect, at minimum. I also recognize that he had many more chances to talk, given his celebrity status and longevity, so there's some bias there.

In Part II he'll be back to describe the ending of the day, something he did at least twice a decade or so later, because he was the caliber of player who would regularly get these kind of questions. "What's your favorite non-milestone game you played in?" Which is basically a reporter asking for a story.
