So yeah,

You know, it's funny.

Like, I don't want to I don't want to compare Orlando to Indiana.

But what we can say is that at this time a year ago, the NBA comes over to Europe and everybody's talking about the Spurs, not because of anything going on on the court, but just because Victor was the host in Paris or whatever.

And then quietly Indiana was becoming the best team in the league.

Oh yeah.

And so now, you know, this week is about the Wagner brothers hosting in Berlin and it's about, can these cities put up a new league with NBA Europe and all that, but the magic are getting healthy to, to, to your point and, and getting both of the Wagner's back over the last six days, Franz tonight.

I mean, that's a major step in the right direction for a really expensive roster.

Well...

I mean, so the Wagner's, they're not only from Berlin, but the team that plays at Uber Arena, the ALBA, you know, I'm not saying anything you guys don't know.

You guys have lived this kind of stuff.

But they are not only popular in the local community, I mean, ALBA Berlin, but they are entrenched in the schools here.

And so to have these two products here,

of the ALBA development system, who both became the youngest players ever to play for ALBA in the actual EuroLeague or whatever, to have them move on to the NBA and then bring the NBA back, that is a big deal in Birdland.

And then let's say, too, that the Wagner's are also like, you know, active members of the German national team who they won the World Cup.

And then I think they won the last Eurobasket maybe.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So.
