I still feel like the World Cup has greater buzz.

It has greater participation.

There's different meaning to it.

But, you know, there's a lot of reasons for it.

And I'm sure you can make arguments for and against one or the other because of,

You know, whether it's government involvement or whether it's, you know, country pride, whatever, there's a million different things that you could dissect to try to talk about why one means more than the other.

And the WBC kind of means a little bit more in baseball.

There's more countries participating.

There's 20 countries participating in this, whereas the Olympics, it's a smaller field.

um but i think wanting to implement that as part of the program for team usa to allow major league players to participate like they do in the olympic hockey i think that also had a lot of impact on these guys because they saw what happened with both the men and the women winning gold

uh in hockey and especially the men for the first time in in you know a half a century all those combined elements i think have a lot to do with why some of these guys and harper included skubal said the same thing they want the to have the united states included with major league players at the olympics in a couple of years and i understood what he was saying it wasn't a knock on the wbc it was a hey we should also be part of the olympics too

I mean, it's such a weird dynamic right now, right?

Because...

I do see the big picture.

The big picture is you probably want to lose games.

You probably want to increase your lottery odds as much as possible.

I also think the Bulls have a little bit more cushion to win a few here and there because I don't know how much better your odds are going to be.

You're not going to catch up to the worst five or six teams.

You're probably not going to catch up to the worst six teams.

in the NBA in terms of worst winning percentage to get the best lottery odds.
