I don't think they've peaked yet because for the reasons I just mentioned, if we're able to build a Venetian type casino in Dallas with an American Airlines center in the middle of it, the valuation is $20 billion. But I own 27% of that.
No, I did it for fun. So, you know, it's a great question, David. From 2000 to 2010, the actual valuations went down. Wow. And in 2010, we were not even able to sell the New Orleans Hornets. The league had to buy it.

And it was right around then that the Sixers got purchased for 200 for the same price I paid. And, you know, the... The cap, the NBA salary cap is a reflection of the total revenues of the NBA. There were multiple years when the salary cap went down, meaning our overall revenues went down, which was great for me competitively because I would buy first round picks for $3 million.

I would buy players from other teams that couldn't afford to run their teams. And that's why we went on this 15 year streak of never having a losing season and winning 50 games in a row for 10 years in a row. So, you know, it worked against me, worked for me competitively, but that just shows you that things can change. And so I did do what's that?

And I literally remember in 2001, when we first signed our first cable deal, NBC had the deal and they were going back to David Stern saying, we need fewer games. And I sat there in one of our board of governors meetings, and I'm like, look, TBS just signed a deal to pay a billion dollars per episode for repeats of Seinfeld. If you do that on evaluation per hour, ours is fresher.

Our ratings are actually better. Don't think of it as less product will lead to more demand. It's the exact opposite. We're so inexpensive, we can charge more. And that led to the next TV deal, and that led to the explosion.

And if you buy it via mail order, then we add $5 for a pharmacy fee to review everything and $5 for shipping and handling. The net result of that is, you guys have a general idea of what the price is now from all the ads.
