And so.

There's something a little bit more just like visceral, I guess, that really tugs at the heartstrings in ways that perhaps the NBA doesn't because it's a little bit more efficiency conscious and everything is so dialed in.

But it's nice to have both, you know?

I would take it a step further.

Like, I think this is the worst NBA season since I've started covering the league almost 20 years ago.

Like this is the least amount of fun.

And I say, this is someone who's going to watch the basketball regardless.

This isn't about any sort of personal preference poking through that.

I don't want to like indulge in this stuff.

I do.

We talk about this twice a week for multiple hours a day.

This is like what we do.

I just it's just there's something missing here.

You know, it's the tanking.

It's the injuries.

It's just everything.

There's just a giant Paul over the league.

It's funny because I was reading in anticipation of this pod like about Nikola Jokic column and it started to like another electric NBA season is in the books.

I was like, what the fuck have you been watching?

It hasn't been relevant for months at this point.
