Chapter 2: What happened to Victor Wembanyama during the NBA playoffs?
But this hit these guys hard right away. So now we have an adverse situation, and we'll see how the Spurs manage it.
You got a better handle on the future of Steve Kerr or Billy Donovan?
Well, Steve Kerr, I think, probably has a good feel of what he's going to do. Billy Donovan probably is waiting to see what options are there. Billy Donovan will coach somewhere again. I would bet on the NBA, but he could be in college. The college cycle has ended, but I would think that it could be. And there's more NBA jobs that are going to open in the next few weeks.
The Steve Kerr situation, I think there's a nuance that people need to understand. And I know the Warriors fans probably understand this. There's not a contract sitting on the table for Steve Kerr. It's not like they've said, Steve, just re-sign. Like, I'm not saying they wouldn't re-sign him, but he makes $17 million.
And I'm not sure, you know, when they paid him that contract, the Warriors were... you know, competing to win the West. That's not the case anymore. Now, look, if they go trade for Giannis in the next three months, then we'll have a different conversation. This team's not going to win the West next year. They're not going to compete to win the West next year.
I don't even know what Jimmy Weller's going to be able to give them. I'm not sure they're in the mood to pay their coach $17 million. Any coach. I don't care if Red Auerbach in his prime comes back. So I think the money is an issue. Secondly, my colleagues at ESPN, Anthony Slater and Ramona Shelburne, did a piece this week where they said that the
Warriors leadership would like Steve Kerr to potentially change his staff and make strategy changes now Steve Kerr is a Hall of Fame coach And you know again the fields are all there. He's hugging players. This is not part of the decision will be sentimental but Just think about you, Dan. Think about you if you were at ESPN. Maybe you can relate to this.
If they said to you, hey, you're having a Hall of Fame career. Thank you so much. We love you. Think of all these awesome sports centers you did. Man, it was great. Let's go watch the highlights. We'd like you to take a pay cut, and we'd like you to completely change the way you do your job. Okay, sign it, and we'll see you at the press conference.
It's not as simple as whether Steve Kerr has the burning fire or desire to coach. There's other things that are going on that might push Steve Kerr out. And I think that's where it's headed more likely than him staying.

Chapter 3: What insights does Brian Windhorst provide about the current NBA playoffs?
Yeah. They probably said, you know what? Three months. Who spent the most? How much did you spend on your engagement ring? It was like $7,000. $7,000? Wow. Todd, how about you? None. I was asked to use a family heirloom from the in-laws. The old heirloom. The engagement ring and the wedding ring were kind of taken care of. Paul?
I had $7,500 in the bank, my life savings. I spent $7,300. I was down to $200 after I bought it.
Okay.
Marvin?
$1,200, which was three-month salary at ESPN. That might have been four months. It might have been more. I bought an antique ring in the Diamond District, and I think it was like $2,200. But that was a whole lot of money back then. And I just remember I went in. If you ever go to the Diamond District in New York, bring help because, man, it's an onslaught.
They locked the door behind me and my now wife, and they weren't letting me out until I bought a diamond. And I said, I got claustrophobic. I'm like, you've got to get me out of here. You've got to get me out of here. The guy finally goes to my wife, is he serious? And she goes, yes, he's serious. They let me out, and I go, holy bleep. Like, this is supposed to be a great moment.
They lock the door. It's like a used car lot on steroids there. Yeah, well, expensive. All right, we'll take a break here.

Chapter 4: How does the NBA concussion protocol differ from the NFL's?
If I didn't do football, I'd be grinding the streets of New York doing finance. But luckily, God has blessed me, so I don't need to work 24-hour days. Oh, no, you're going to be working 24-hour days. But it's not work for me. It's fun. It's fun for me. It's fun, and it's great, whether it's... Whenever I'm eating, I'm usually watching a YouTube video of somebody breaking down NFL football.
Every single Sunday, I'm watching football. I love, I truly just do love football. Give me that address again for Pfizer.
It's pfizerforall.com slash screenings. All right. Great to meet you. Congratulations on a wonderful season, and the Raiders will be lucky to have you.
Great to meet you. I love your Nevada sticker there in the front, or patch, excuse me. Been a big fan of you for a long time. My dad loves listening to you, so thank you so much again for having me on. God bless. Hope we have a future interaction. Thank you, bud.
Fernando Mendoza, he's a nerd. But like he's saying things that you're going, you're like 50 years old. I look forward to our future interactions. He sounds like he's a politician, but this is who he is. When he said, hey, I broke down every one of Kirk Cousins' throws. He's got to get a hobby. I mean, dang. Yeah, Paulie.
He reminds me of your high school student council president. He would wear a tie, and he was also president of the Mathletes, and he felt like he was already 25 years old, but he was 17.
Man.
Very impressive, though. That personality, walking into the building, like it comes off as kind of corny, but there's an Andrew Luck-Russell Wilson combination in there. Maybe throw in Tebow in there. That would be kind of the combo platter. Yeah, Paulie?
It feels like, and I think you and I talked about this the other night, it feels like he's running a business, and the business is Fernando Mendoza, the football player.
