He added... What's up, Chris?

Well, here's the thing.

And I want to take a couple steps back and see as we approach the next season whether this still holds true.

I think there's never been a more pronounced kind of experience of NBA basketball than this moment.

I think he's absolutely beloved by kids around my age, by teenage kids and younger.

they will all universally tell you that they love wimby and they they are not like my son same thing right and he's 18 he's a little older than your boy how many games did he sit down and watch from the beginning to the end of these nba finals i mean i could tell you for my kid none zero he my kid doesn't sit down and watch you know games all the way through right he comes

and I make him come in and watch fourth quarters for me.

But nothing about what went down in these finals changes his perspective when it comes to Wemby and the reverence.

I can't tell you how many times this big dummy kept coming to me, Dad, how far away is Wemby from the GOAT?

I'm like, you got to get, you got to leave the room right now because I do not want to be responsible for child abuse, but I will hit a man if you keep talking to me that way, even if it's a young man.

But I mean, that's, that's, there is, we, the basketball commentariat, everybody in our echo chamber, writ large, all of New York, all of New York hates Wemmy now, so.

I mean, it's wonderful to have him as a villain, but I think there is still yet amongst this generation that's coming up as NBA fans consuming the NBA, not by watching games, but by consuming it on the internet that will still hold Wemby in the highest regard.

I will read these two emails though.

Melting pot.

That was the name of the fondue place.

I didn't look it up.

I knew I could get it.

The melting pot.

Keep going.

Sorry.
