Well, you didn't start with the beginning of the sentence like I asked. Oh, my fault.

I was actually just thinking about the time I saw Zibanejad on the LIRR.

So there was a closed-door meeting last week where there was not supposed to be any sort of video or audio recording, but apparently it was so bizarre that reporters that were invited were eventually able to write from their transcript and report on it. And then this, I believe... the most recent press conference where he was on camera was, like, the end of the season one.

So that was why there were two different. But the first one, I think, like, a lot of reporters were saying was just kind of weird and unnecessary.

Probably... Control it more? Yeah, to, like... I don't know.

Get a gauge on what he was going to be asked in this one, I guess. The gauge. I'm not sure.

Yeah. And just to add more context as so Tim Cato, who's worked in the Dallas market as like a NBA reporter for a long time. I used to work with him at SB Nation. He wrote it at the end. I didn't feel it was that transparent. That's the thing that stood the most out. If you're going to do it in this way, if you're going to have just a very select number of media members.

You're not going to film it. You're not going to televise it. At this point, why not be more transparent about the exact workings of the thing? If you're just going to say the same thing over and over again, defense wins championships when the defense was a top 10 defense after the trade deadline last season, that defense helped them get to the NBA finals.

Well, he's also like in Tim Marchman's story or the ESPN story, he said that Cuban was completely pushed out of basketball operations. So now he's saying that he has nothing to do with this. He's being honest, which is what you're saying you want from Nico. But when you actually are getting honesty from him, you're saying you don't want it.
