Well, I went to law school in Chicago. Okay. I worked in Washington, D.C. for years. So I know you guys are D.C. and Chicago guys. That was a big part of the selling point of coming on. And you guys are fun to watch and listen to. You guys do an incredible job.

I'm feeling good about it. One, I love the Bay Area. Obviously, four championships there since... since I've been commissioner. So I've spent a lot of time in the market and multiple finals appearances beyond that. Beautiful new arena in San Francisco.

A new format that we've talked a lot about, you know, where, you know, in essence, working with the Players Association, we came up with this format where it's in essence around Robin, you know, games to 40, then a championship. So I think that's going to be really exciting for the fans. And I also, for us,

You know, as important as the game itself is, it becomes the epicenter of the basketball world for that weekend. It's essentially, you know, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of events, community events in Oakland and San Francisco. Opportunity to see old friends. I've been with the league for a long time and When you have a neutral site finals, you can't plan to gather there.

I think it was when I was presenting the championship trophy on the floor at the end of last year's All-Star Game. I think everybody was incredibly disappointed, at least speaking for the fans and the league office. It wasn't what we had hoped for.
