Some of our very best players are European.
And I think it's a real opportunity, you know, for, you know, not for NBA right now, but maybe almost like a once in forever opportunity to think about you could own
a Paris team, you know, that's NBA style basketball, London, Madrid, et cetera.
So that's something.
Okay.
You know, I'm so glad you said that because that's the issue for the Europeans right now.
because they're also sleep-deprived, the NBA fans, because they've got to set their alarm for 3, 4 o'clock in the morning to watch those games.
So the whole idea here, we can have weekend games that are in the afternoon, primetime in Europe, but we also want to have primetime basketball.
It's coming from the continent for European fans.
so um there's a guy named mike bass in the league office he's head of communications so he's he's all over that but but in all seriousness we look at stuff what guys are posting you know in some cases if it comes to our attention it's a league person who's posting something under another name we're looking at that as well but there's this enormous
social media community around the NBA.
I mean, some people, because we're a global sport, some people have estimated that there are 2 billion people on a planet of 8 billion who are engaged in the NBA or its players in some way through social media.
So you're going to see just about everything out there.
you know burner accounts you know all kinds of content anything that's imaginable as i said it's like it's just part of the community of being a fan these days you know it's not a substitute for going to arena or watching a live game but no different than you know being engaged with you guys it's a way that people you know can you know manifest their fandom so yeah yeah but i i i'm not like looking at every i i have to mean i look at social media but um i try not to get consumed by it
Yeah, thank you both.
A portion of the question, the end of the question, was about the impact of social media.
That's what I was answering on our sport.
And what I was saying in a very positive way, and I don't think it takes, I think it's additive to those who watch our games live and increase the likelihood that they'll watch our games live.
By saying highlights-based, I meant, you know, when I watch
the traditional sports center, you know, and they have the top 10 plays and five of those are NBA plays.
