Croati had two or three NBA players. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.080 And so they need to beat Slovenia tonight with Luka 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.120 Doncic and they're in. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.120 The throw to the knickt round. Of course there's still 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.640 more qualifiers, I believe. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.440 And at this point, at which point are the New 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.599 Zealand Olympic Committee game, Well it would have. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.520 Been now, yeah, because there's no way that they thought 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:01.960 they were going to be I mean, I didn't think 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:02.919 they were going to beat Croatia. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.679 How many flights is that? You've got how many people 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.240 in in a full basketball squad, including you know, backroom staff, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.520 you've got your coaches. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.520 You'd be twenty five to thirty probably that is. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.160 You know when you're seeing Tom Walsh, you're seeing Tom 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.000 Walsh and as trainer yeah too, and you've seen some 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.880 of his kit, you know, Zoey Hobbs maybe a trainer 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:25.159 in physio yeah, and your coach mate Max four yeah, 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.320 and so basketball they're like they're going to have that 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.239 twenty five. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.719 So there's like twelve, there's twelve in the playing day squad, 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.520 So then there'd be big like fifteen to eighteen and 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:39.359 the roster. Yeah, plus you'd have a coach, two assistants, physiers. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:40.839 Like I mean, I'm happy to do a whip around. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.120 Oh yeah, I mean if they if they qualify, then yeah, 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:44.680 I'm happy. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.080 Everyone was riding them off. They were like, Pira, Cameron's 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.240 not you know, the team's not going well. Blah blah 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:49.720 blah blah blah. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.920 You watch you watch New Zealand basketball in the next 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.640 ten years though, Yeah, you look the amount of kids 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.760 that are playing at the moment and kids that are. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.760 Are so good. 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.000 Oh, we've got outrageous athletes. Yeah, you just watched That's 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.640 I reckon. That's a space to I think. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.000 I think it's a population thing though for us, because 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.840 in basketball, as long as the hoop is ten feet 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.640 off the ground, the tallest people on earth are going 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:13.680 to have an advantage. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.960 And so it's just a percentage. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.200 We've only got five million people, So what's the percentage 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.160 of dudes that we have that are over seven feet? 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.520 I think there's only one and he is in the NBA, 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.040 Steven Adams. So I think that's by that logic though, 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.680 China should be way better than they are. Yeah, social India, 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.520 sociald India. I think they've had one player apiece in 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.960 both those two places. But anyway, Yeah, they play Slovenia tonight, 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.800 which is Luka Doncic in them, so that's going to 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.160 be pretty tough tough ass. Yeah. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.600 I'm also in the NBA. I would have heard last 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.200 couple of days that the Celtics have got the for 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.000 sale sign out. So two weeks after winning the NBA, 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.000 a group that owns them have said we're up for sale. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.160 Yeah. Bill Simmons was on his podcast and I can't 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.080 understand why they'd want to sell it right now, like 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.480 it's never going to be higher. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.680 Yeah, I think if you read into the details, I 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.880 don't know, if you read that article around, you know 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.640 they've got two of the most expensive players in the 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.320 NBA three hundred million season for the next four years. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.960 Yeah, and the NBA has just changed the way that 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.640 the salary cap works, where you pay way more if 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.640 you go over. But they're in this weird position where 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.880 they because they drafted all of their players, they can 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.280 pay them way more, but it also pushes them into 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:21.400 this massive tax bill. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.960 Yeah, because over their wage bills over a billion US 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.720 and you know, like, this's got this luxury tax over 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.560 there that is looking punishing. But I mean saying that 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.360 the guys who bought it, they bought it for three 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.720 hundred and twenty million back in two thousand and two, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.720 and the reports then where they're massively. 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.760 Overspent two hundred million, Yeah, three. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.520 Hundred and three million, twenty million, and it's now the 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.679 rumors Art's going to sell between five and six billion. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.280 I think that, Yeah, that's insane. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.640 But as one of those legacy franchises is that the Yankees, 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.000 there's the Celtics, you know, the Lakers, The Lakers is 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.480 about five or six, a handful of Kid Dallas, Cowboy 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.719 New Zealand Warriors, yes, kind of the you know the 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.520 way Cattle Chiefs. There's only a handful of these legacy 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:06.880 brands that are worth that much. 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.800 So I mean, yeah, there's I think a couple of sold, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.079 A couple of franchises have sold in the last sort 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.040 of five years or so. I think the Suns might 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.080 have been the most recent one that was around the 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.000 three billion dollar mark. Yeah, and that's the Phoenix Suns, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.240 which is like whokires. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.280 Yeah, Michael Jordan got out of the Wizards, didn't he 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:29.040 the Hornets, Hornets. Yeah, he owned the Hornets. Yeah. So yeah, 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.600 I mean, god, it's stack's eye ordering amounts of money. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.000 I can't even figure out how much five billion is. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.120 How much more than three hundred million? That's one hundred million, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.320 that's a thousand million million. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:39.600 Yeah. 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:44.559 Yeah, so it's six of them, six thousand million. I 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.719 don't know, man, a lot of coin. It's a lot 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.959 of coin. But yeah, that's yeah, they're out obviously their 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.959 investment company because most of the people that have got 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.120 these franchises now are either investment companies or kind of 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.040 the hedge fund consortium and sortiums. Yeah, they've got a 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.640 few names in there because they can put out. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.640 Because what they'll do is they'll put together a group 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.440 of about five or six dudes, we're all worth billions each, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.440 and then also a rapper or you know, play like 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.960 who's our man, not Derek Jeter, the other guy who's 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.000 banging Jayal anyway, A rod Alex Rodriguez, he's in one 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.319 of them. A Dwayne Wade owns part of I think 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:22.479 the Minnesota Timberwools. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:23.640 You've got to got to have a straw man. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:24.199 Jay Z. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.160 Everyone was like, oh, jay Z owns the Nets. No, 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:27.920 he didn't know. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.640 He's got a season's passing about a one percent. Shit, 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:31.600 that's exactly what he had. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.000 Yeah, that's like, I don't know, So it'd be funny 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.680 to find out who it'll probably be Bill Simmons. It'll 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:44.000 be like, yeah, six billionaires and Simmons now own the Celtics. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.600 I kind of find it's so it's so bizarre going 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.640 into the world of American franchises and sports and then 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.640 coming back to New Zealand and looking at a rugby 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.240 union that's lost forty million dollars or whatever, and you've 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.640 got scratching around to pay players one hundred grand to 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.200 play rugby professionally. It's like, oh my god. With such 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.880 small fry, who owns the Blues. They're all still owned 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.800 by the rugby Union of majority Is, but you can 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.800 have certain private investors like Islanders have. I think Mark 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.280 Allis has got a few people together and I think 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.160 they own forty percent. Rugby union will still got the 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.560 controlling percentage of all of them. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:22.199 Been that off. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.200 They tried to and it didn't work. 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.880 If you had private owners like that'd be way more 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.040 incentivized to make the game get big. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.319 Bull Foley in here and rename the Oakland Blues the 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.040 Auckland Blue Knights. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.040 So who would own it? So Mark Allis I think 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.640 would be hands down the owner of the Highlanders. Who 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.719 would be the Crusaders? Maybe Richie would buy it. I 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:44.040 don't know. 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.760 There's a guy there's the Polar Capital guys. He based 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.520 down there, you know the guy bought he You need 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.440 like a local rich dud who just got a lot 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:52.800 of cash. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.880 Now, but I'm saying who would you want to Oh 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.880 so no, who's who's your front guy? Yeah? 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.120 So basically the Dean's family would buy the franchise and 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:01.920 he would front it. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.880 Dean's family, Yeah, absolutely, that'll be down there in christ. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.400 Church, Wellington. You want Bob Jones to buy the Hurricanes. 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.640 You didn't ever do it because he's a league man. Yeah, 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.680 but then you're to front it. You want tana Umaga. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.720 Yeah yeah, yeah? Who for the Chiefs? Dwayne Monkey? 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.400 Oh my god if Flamee Monkely is headed that up. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.720 But you need maybe you need the Beaver, Patrick Hogan, 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.959 the Hogan family, Oh, Hogan family, the horse racing You 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.880 need a big horse racing family to buy the Chiefs. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:34.719 And then Led by Marty Holler, Dwayne Monkely and Beaver. Yeah, 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.000 as they can sort him. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.719 There and then the Bluesbee Carlos, Yeah, it'll be the 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.880 mobra Michael Michael Jones, the Zuru guys to buy it. 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.160 Yeah, they will try and put Ali Williams out as 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.400 the front man, but he's already doing the So Michael Jones, 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.040 you've got to throw You got to throw the iceman. Yeah, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.680 chuck the iceban in there. H. I think they were 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.080 sort of look again, we've sold rugby in this country. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:04.679 We weren't even to I have had my sources children 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.839 held hostage for quite some time.

No, But this is their 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.760 last chance, right and you've got your sources. My sources 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.160 have come through with what I believe to be the 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:25.600 team raiser is going to name them. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:26.600 The beauty of this is you. 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.599 Listening at home will already know by the time you 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.000 hear this what the actual team was, So you'll know 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.360 the fate of these children when you hear it. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.280 So basically they're kind of complicit in the torture. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.440 Yes you are, Okay, after the break, we're all going 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.000 down together.

Yep. Can't argue with that. I 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.760 can't argue with that either, because there's a story about 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.680 Ethan Dgrut in the paper and how excited he is 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:23.040 to play. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.440 He's the only Highlander in the team.

Do you know what? 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.680 I would not be surprised given the links he has 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.360 to the Crusaders and to Razor. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.120 Yes, but on form you would probably go femal Anyway, 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.960 I'm hearing Blackadder, Dalton Papalali at seven. Yeah, the incumbent, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:02.200 I guess Artie Savier at eight. Yep. I'm hearing TJ. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.720 Petanata to start. That is what I'm hearing to start. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.600 I've read stories saying that Raza has challenged him to 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.160 make this his second you know, does his second opportunity. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.440 We need a leader out there, okay. 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.520 Yeah, only the only I'd look at that. They've got 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:22.040 plenty of leaders, I'd say, Christy. No, well, I was 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.240 going to say, I was going to say Cortes at 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.760 mat has he got the combination with Damie mackenzie or 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.400 do they do that for the second test if they 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:29.000 win the first? 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.440 I don't know. I don't know any that's what I'm hearing, TJ. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.480 I'm hearing Damien McKenzie at ten. I don't think anyone 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.960 would argue with that.

He's apparently there's a few nickeles here. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.520 So that backline, I could I can't argue with that. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.440 That one. That's some pretty dangerous outside backs. And Talia 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.000 and Reese very slippery, a very slippery, and. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.520 The bench are more to mighty Williams flitch and you'll 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.400 to both weight yep, Summer Penny female will be coming 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.320 off the bench.

And it's something that you do when whenever 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.160 you're at the pub where you're on a road trip, 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.680 it's just sitting around talking about old teams. Yep.

Yeah, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.120 twenty years ago and way later than I thought. When 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:00.840 I asked Joe Jury in the office, he said I 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.600 would have been like ninety. No, it was two thousand 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:03.840 and four. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.920
