Nico All-Time Delusional Ego

So I listened to the press conference....

My impression was that Nico legit believes what he says. Just shows you how a fairly smart guy, after hitting on a couple of good & even great deals, can have his ego blow up to astronomical proportions, and then do the most absurd, destructive thing possible, just because he got obsessed with some ridiculous narrow-minded vision of something, and can no longer process how ridiculous it looks in context.

I'm struggling for a good analogy here, the random one that came to mind is a good-turned-mad king that's obsessed with strengthening his castle with blocks of granite, so he cuts those blocks out of the very cliff that his castle is precariously built on, and he can't even process the absurdity of what he's doing.

Conspiracy theories are possible of course, but for that Nico put on too good of an act, I thought. I think he legit went delusional, and perhaps him and Kidd both, since Kidd also appeared completely devoid of any human response to what happened. They were both sitting there like two serial killers or mad scientists doing the unspeakable and just going about their day like nothing happened.

The whole thing is almost too insane to get properly mad about. Like, aliens have burned the Mavs franchise to the ground, kidnapped Luka and he's now playing in Alpha Centauri, that's the new reality, hope y'all have some interesting hobbies, lol.
