I remember the average team would play, what is it, 40, 41 road games.

And the first half, if you were to break down, on average, the first half would go over maybe 12 times.

and go under the remaining 29 times.

That's how big the edge was, or let's say 10 and 30.

And the second half would be about the same, 30 overs and 10 unders.

So my point is it didn't matter how much money I made.

all the stakeholders or the key employees of the Mavericks were invited to speak to the commissioner who came and met with, I think it was myself, Coach Carlisle, some of his assistants.

And I don't think there was any other front office people just because of the timing of it.

It was like, it was weird.

It was like after practice or something and it was at AAC.

But yeah, we got to meet with them and just talk about certain things.

And this was the year after the Cavs lost

to Golden State the year that LeBron, they lost, they got swept or lost four games, I forget which one it was, but it was the J.R.

Smith moment where J.R.
