Flopping, flopping, flopping.

Big conversation, Mr. Commissioner.

So, yeah, and it's been a conversation.

I would only say that there's a difference between selling a call, exaggeration, and a true flop, which is where you're actually fooling the referees.

I think sometimes even as I...

sit in the stands at games, players may be falling down, players may be reacting to a call.

But then to me, if they're not fooling the referees, it's like, okay, that's like the players are taught to sell calls these days.

Can officiating get better?

Of course.

We're always working on that.

Can officials get fooled occasionally?

We're always looking at that as well.

But the officiating is incredible.

Okay.

And there are guys you thought one way about because of maybe their personality on the floor, on the field.

You know, Patrick Ewing we've mentioned many times.

Yeah.

Then there's also celebrities that you love and you enjoy their TV shows or their movies and you don't have a previous, I don't think you had a previous experience with them, but when Michael Douglas came in, you don't know if they're going to have a little bit of an attitude because they're such royalty in Hollywood.

He was running a little late, and then there was no time for us, but he's rescheduled to join us tomorrow.

I'm terribly sorry, and I'll make sure that never happens again.
