Part of it for me is like, you know, I I've read and I've heard all of the hand wringing. Like the bottom line is if the Nixon warriors were in this final, they would have been an atmosphere. It would have been, you know, a huge deal, but we didn't get that. We got the bucks. And OKC, these are not two national brands.

These are not two, you know, fan bases that have massive like fan bases all over the country. The way the Knicks and the Lakers do like, you know, if you've ever been to a Hawks game when the Knicks are playing them. It's half Knick fans in there. Yeah. Same when you go to when the Lakers play in places like Phoenix and Denver. It's like a bunch of Laker fans there. Right.

And so, you know, the two teams in there, I think, was problematic for me personally. And I'm not somebody who's ever like, you know, given Adam Silver his props. I think the teams played hard. The teams played like as if there were stakes. All the ancillary stuff I think needs to be figured out.

But the most important thing that the players cared and tried their best, I think that's the biggest sort of takeaway for me.

Well, you know, that's a great question. Honestly, I think part of the thinking is like we want to really juice and goose attention on very early NBA games, which traditionally people just didn't, you know, gravitate towards because obviously and like people need to understand that like no matter what the NBA Cup does or is, it's not going to be as popular as football.

We need to let go of that as even a concept or an idea. Americans love football more than they do basketball. And that's okay. A lot more. A lot more. And that's okay. I just think it's about... One, the Giannis and Shay thing, and I've talked about this on group chat. I think David Stern's dream of these hyper-corporatized, you know, focus group to death athletes.

You know, they don't get busted for weed. They don't scare corporate America. They are the perfect corporate automatons. But guess what? People are not attracted to that. They're not compelling figures. Even Nike and Giannis, like selling Giannis as this cute, cuddly teddy bear, that's just a mistake. Nobody knows a single thing about Shea Gildress Alexander except that he wears funny clothes.

That's it. Nobody knows anything about these guys.
