It's almost every night.
Um, and obviously the, the other thing that makes the NBA unique and uniquely susceptible to this is that one player makes so much of a difference compared to other sports.
My last thing is my favorite fun proposal I've gotten from someone in the league is the NBA's version of the papal conclave.
And I'm just going to, I'm just going to read it out because I think it's so good.
Yeah.
Step one, all 30 teams submit their first, their full first round draft order, their proposal for how the teams should be ordered for the draft.
Step two,
Then there is a calculation of the average order of those teams.
Put all the proposals together, average it.
And so you get a draft order that is one to 30, the average of all the 30 proposals.
Step three, there's a debate period.
By the way, everyone, all the GMs and owners are trapped in a castle for this.
Step three, there is a debate period where teams can try to argue for or against a proposed slate.
Step four, a vote is taken to approve the slate.
Step five, if the slate gets greater than 50% of the votes, the chimney releases orange smoke and the GM and the owner of the number one pick emerge in a white robe.
Step five B, if the slate does not get approved, black smoke comes out of the chimney and we go back to step one.
I'm more concerned of like, where would we do this?
Cameron Indoor Stadium?
Oh, I like that.
What has a chimney?
