But yet, because of modern analytics, whether, interestingly enough, I always have to remind people, I mean, unfortunately, tanking is a strategy not to lose, but to win.

It's just to win over a longer period of time, obviously.

But I think where we ended up this year, where, you know, make up make the number, you know, eight teams, nine teams, 10 teams, whatever, which were essentially racing to the bottom, you know, again, in a desire to win, not to lose was not acceptable.

And, you know, what exactly happened?

We could have done about it in hindsight.

We're about to make significant changes.

And we have already scheduled a board meeting of our owners for late May.

There's a few different proposals that are still floating around on exactly how to change it.

But arguably, we should have made the change a year ago or longer before we ended up in the position we are.

So ultimately, that's my responsibility.

So that's something we're focused on.

There's other things.

This season, I think we can always do a better job marketing.

uh you know i i'm a big believer in marketing my prior jobs before i was deputy commissioner here was at nba entertainment and i think is even just talking about things around music and uniforms and um you know how to do a better job telling stories we have new partners this year i'm i'm thrilled with them you know

Disney, ABC, ESPN have been our partners for a long time, and I think they're really good at telling stories around the game.

It's great to have added NBC and Peacock.

Amazon Prime is doing a wonderful job, but I think it's more competitive than ever before.

I mean, people, just like, honestly, the fact that you guys are now on Netflix, that podcasts have moved to video,

We all have unlimited options now for our leisure time, for any discretionary time we have.

And I think as a result, the NBA and all entertainment forms have to step up their game.
