Spend 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.560 some time with the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver last Home. 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.479 Touched on a variety of things, including maybe the Saudi's 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.159 wanting to invest in an NBA team. He said that 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.080 a group can't, but you have to have an individual 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.200 who does. We also talked about John Morant and we 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.320 talked about the report that the second video was a 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.000 toy gun, and he said, well, he treated the first 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.640 one as if it were a toy and it sounded 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.680 like that he's not going to be lenient because this 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.520 might have been a toy gun. The second video. All right, 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.040 coming up, we'll talk to Roger Bennett, one of the 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.679 great voices for soccer as Lionel Messi has decided to 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.840 join MLS in Miami and or Milan. The Son's looking 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.840 to cut Chris Paul. It's not official, but there's a 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.440 chance you could cut him and then resign him for 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.440 a lot less. This is a salary cap move. Is 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.560 there a possibility goes back home to Los Angeles? And 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.759 would the Clippers be interested or more likely the Lakers? 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.920 And his friendship with Lebron James. Does Lebron want him? 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.399 You know, at some point you have to go. Does 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.200 he make our team better? Hey, you're my buddy. That 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.640 doesn't mean I have to play on the same team 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.240 with you. What can Chris Paul give you? Also, we 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.920 spend some time with Chris Haynes from Bleacher Report. We 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.880 talked about Dame Lillard. He had spoken to Dame yesterday 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:01.040 and I brought up some teams, including Boston. He's like, no, no, 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.320 he is not going to Boston. Maybe the Brooklyn Nets 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.160 if that happens. I could see that. He did say 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.840 if he had the opportunity, Miami because he's friends with 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.880 Bam Adebayo. The game last night was not much of 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:18.359 a game unless you're a Denver Nugget fan. Joker thirty 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.320 two to twenty one and ten. The last time that 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.120 we had a line of those numbers. You have to 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.880 go back to Kareem Abdul Jabbar in nineteen seventy with 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:32.320 a thirty twenty and ten, Wilt Chamberlain in nineteen sixty seven. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.280 Then you have Jamal Murray who went thirty four to 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.840 ten and ten. So the first teammates to record triple 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:42.399 doubles in the same NBA Finals game never happened before. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.680 And Joker now has one hundred points so far through 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.160 three games in the NBA Finals, the fifth player to 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.640 score at least one hundred. The other ones were Rick Berry, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:58.960 Alan Iverson, Willis Reid and the Greek freak whoa. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.480 Sad of the day, best stead of the day stat 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:03.160 of the day? 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.280 Here comes, here comes that? What stat of the day? 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.120 I'm wondering about Jerry West. When Jerry averaged forty points 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.320 a game in the NBA Finals and that was that 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:22.360 against the Knicks or the Celtics. Was that nineteen sixty nine? 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.720 I think he averaged forty eight games was that the 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.680 Celtics and Bill Russell's last title, PAULI. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.440 Yeah, sixty four to sixty five. 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.440 Jerry West averaged forty point six a game in that 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.200 playoffs over eleven game span. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.280 What did he average in the NBA Finals though. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.440 The finals that year or the sixty. 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.600 Nine Well, I just remember he was putting up these 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.880 monster numbers and we were talking about Joker getting to 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.200 one hundred points after three games. I'm assuming that Jerry West, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.000 if you're averaging forty, you probably came pretty close to 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.400 that through the first three games. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:56.960 Yeah. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.960 I got in Jerry West in the NBA Finals versus 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.200 Boston sixty nine. Yeah, I got him going fifty three, 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.680 forty one, twenty four and then forty thirty nine. 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:07.480 Damn. 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.680 So yeah, he's probably after about forty one a game there. 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.120 Do you imagine you're putting up those numbers against one 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.240 of the great teams of all time, the best defensive 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.440 center of all time, the greatest coach of all time 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.360 in Red Arback, and then you don't win. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:28.320 In Game one, Jerry West had fifty three points, ten assists. Ah, 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.720 he shot forty took forty one shots, hit twenty one 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:32.000 of them. 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.840 He just played differently. He's the first player I remember 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.960 him and Elgin Baylor, they played differently than everybody else 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.640 in the NBA. And you know, Wilt was athletic, and 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.240 Bill Russell, but as far as skill position players like 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.680 a guard, Jerry was maybe the first that I remember. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.600 Oscar was a very talented athletic player, but I remember 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.960 Jerry West was playing a different game than the guys 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.800 he was playing against. They're shooting shots out of the 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.200 movie Hoosiers, and Jerry's down there, you know, quick dribble 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.680 and you know, jumping, hitting these jumpers. And Elgin Baylor 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.479 as well. I saw Elgin the last year and he 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.920 had suffered a knee injury. I never got to see 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.560 him as being one of the great great players of 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.200 all time. He missed out because of the TV era. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.839 I saw Wilt at the very end when he was 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.520 a defensive minded player, and then got to see Kareem 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.440 when he first came in. I never saw Bill Russell. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.240 I was having dinner with a friend last night. We were 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.800 talking about all the players that I'd seen and all 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.039 the games that I'd been to, and Russell was the 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.000 one I did not get to see in person. But 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.599 got to see just about everybody else in the modern 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:43.840 era who's played the game. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.360 Yeah, poem, this is May of sixty nine, Lakers Boston Celtics. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.840 I got the game seven box score, and Jerry West 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.400 had forty two, thirteen and twelve in a losing effort. 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.880 I was wondering what NBA Finals game or a playoff 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.720 game had the most Hall of Famers on the court 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.719 at one time. I would think it'd be like maybe 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.000 a Lake is Boston from the eighties, but this one 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.440 had Hailcheck, Bill Russell, Sam Jones, Don Nelson, Jerry West, 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.160 Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain. That's what that's that's six Hall 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.240 of famers right on the court between. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:12.440 The two teams. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:13.359 I think it's more than that. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.839 Probably more than six. Yeah, probably look at seven. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.920 Well, if you had Sam Jones, Casey Jones, you had Halchak, Heinsen, 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.719 Bill Russell, Red arbroughn. 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.960 No Tommy Heinsen on this one, okay, But with the Lakers, 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:32.200 you had West, Baylor, Chamberlain, Keith Erickson, Johnny Egan, Melcounts. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:32.400 Tom Hawkins. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.680 Yeah. I wonder for one of those eighties Celtics Lakers, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.000 Bill Sharman was he the head coach of the Lakers 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.200 then because he played with the Celtics, and I think 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.000 it was a Hall of Famer as well. But I 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:48.000 would imagine, you know, the entire Celtics team, we're Hall 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.359 of famers. But then you have you know, Bird Mchalen, Parrish, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.159 Dennis Johnson, all Hall of famers. Bill Walton was on 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.720 the eighty six team. Hall of Famer. Casey Jones was 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:02.359 the head coach, I believe, or Tommy Heins and and 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:08.640 if you're going against Magic, Kareem Worthy, Wilkes or McAdoo, Yeah, 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.480 both of those guys. Is Jamal Wilkes in the Basketball 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.360 Hall of Fame, I believe, and Bob McAdoo is yes, wow, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:22.120 and then pat Riley Hall of Famer. I don't know 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:26.240 if anybody else. It feels like it'd be Lakers in Celtics. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.320 Those are the two most decorated teams in NBA or 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.800 franchises in NBA history. Yes, Mark. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.960 The only thing that comes close to me is maybe 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:39.160 like heat Spurs in like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.160 Okay, we have probably like four on one side, four 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:41.640 and the other. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.600 Yeah, Paul, how about this question, which NBA Finals had 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.720 the least amount of Hall of Famers on all sides, 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.960 like this NBA Finals, Yokich clearly on his way. Jimmy Butler, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.960 I know there's a lot of a lot of postseason people 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.880 like him, and his story is good. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.000 I think if Reggie Miller is in, then Jimmy Butler 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.120 is going to get in. Yeah. They think they're they're 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.960 similar players from regular season numbers are just okay. Postseason 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.560 numbers oh okay, trying to think. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:12.840 I don't think Kevin loves getting in. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:13.520 No, he's not. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:15.640 He had a good his first five years. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.720 Yeah, yeah he did. He had incredible numbers in Minnesota. 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.760 Kyle Lowry's not a Hall of Famer. Eric Spolster is 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:28.720 a Hall of Famer, So i'd have Joker. I don't 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:33.679 know about Jamal Murray maybe down the road, Uh Auto, 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.080 let's see, uh, Michael Porter Junior, the third No, no 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.959 he's not not yet. No, no, no, no, not yet. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:47.200 Aaron Gordon, no, anybody else that's in there. The Spurs 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:51.640 had when you had Duncan Robinson, Janobili, Parker Hall of Famers, 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:57.520 Popovich Hall of Famer, the heat with Spolster or pat Riley, 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:03.320 you had Lebron, d way Aid, Ray Allen Hall of Famers, 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.520 Chris Bosh, Hall of Famer.

Oh, I know, I know, I appreciate. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.719 I appreciate Ryan getting up early in Honolulu. Update the 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.960 poll results. If you can see, okonnor from previous hours 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.240 or what we're going with this, Dan, last hour we 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:45.800 had up there. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.200 How much better of a commissioner is Adam Silver than 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.280 Roder Goodell one hundred and ten percent, one thousand percent. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.160 We didn't really put that's there. I was just kidding. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:56.240 I was just kidding. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:57.640 We're gonna put up there. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.679 Most people believe that this series NBA NBA Finals is 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:02.920 going six games. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:03.920 We're gonna throw up there. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.360 Will you watch more MLS because Lionel Messi is joining 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:07.280 Inner Miami, you know it? 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:12.600 Maybe? Or Okay, I won't. I'll watch the highlights. I'll 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.600 be curious, you know, maybe his debut maybe, But I 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.040 I don't know if I'm going to be glued to 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.920 their terrible team and uh, they're about to get good though, 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.200 do you think so? Yeah, the three of them coming, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.280 you might be surprised. Who else are they bringing. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.880 Uh, they're talking about one of his old teammates from 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.600 Barcelona Busquets. Don't say the word, you know, one of 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.480 his former teammates. Pardon me, pardon me. 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:40.840 Yeah. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.079 They talk about Anhilde Maria who could still play a 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.480 little bit. He's kind of he's a little older, but 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.640 he could still play. They're talking about him leaving Europe 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.800 and coming over here to join Messi too. That would 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.400 be exciting. Actually, the two of them again, okay. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:59.040 Are we more excited Messi's come here, or that European Soccer, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:05.640 Global Soccer is disappointed that Messi is leaving Seaton. As 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.240 our soccer correspondent. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:08.720 I don't, Yeah, I don't. 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:09.560 I don't know how. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.160 I don't know about the disappointment part because I felt 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.600 like once Messi left Barcelona that was sort of the 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.880 end of the era right there. And then I think 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.360 it's Bartholona. Batholona's part of me. Once he left there, 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.080 that was sort of and his stop at PSG was 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.240 kind of a joke, and now this is just the 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.080 next stop in the end of his career. I think 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.440 Europe is looking at it, so yeah, I don't. I 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.640 think the US is more excited than Europe is disappointed. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.280 Is he a better player than Wayne Rooney was or 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.120 Terrynree when they came over? 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.040 I would say definitely Wayne Rooney. He could still play, 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.440 There's no doubt of it. I mean, he's older, but 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.760 he could absolutely still play. 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.080 Plus, this isn't a great league that he's in as 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:51.560 far as competition goes. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.720 It's dropping down a little bit. Yeah, Like I would 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.600 say mls' is probably like a top fifteen, maybe like 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.960 thirteen something like that in the world, and I think 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.760 I think, you know, the French League that he's just 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.320 coming from was like, I don't know, somewhere like four 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.480 or five something like that. 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.640 So yeah, he should be able to play. Well, we'll 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.280 get to Roger Bennett menon Blazers, he'll join us. We'll 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.520 get some more phone calls as well.

Here, 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.280 I want to bring back the part of the conversation 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.240 I had with Commissioner Silver on Jahn Morant not having 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.400 a ruling right now and the report that it was 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:59.840 a toy gun in the second video. Is the Jare 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.640 investigation over. We're just waiting for the finals to be 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.040 over to announce the decision. 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.920 The latter we are waiting for the finals to be over. 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.720 I'm aware, of course, of his reports on social media 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.399 about you know, whether the gun was in fact a gun, 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.640 and so we haven't completely. 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:18.760 Wrapped it up. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:23.359 Do we have any more on that. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:29.199 It's the very issue is for job, certainly in the 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:34.560 first incident, was treating a gun as a toy. That's 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.560 what we're talking about, and that's what I think the 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.399 danger is to society taking a gun live streaming it, 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.280 you know, without getting into gun issues in terms of 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.439 the propriety of owning guns and the use of guns. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.440 I think everyone agrees that gun safety is critically important 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.720 and that guns aren't toys. So it's something that I'm 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.840 thinking a lot about because again I'm not going to 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.360 get into the specifics of the investigation, but in fact, 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.920 if you are live streaming something that to the world 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:09.240 looks exactly like a gun and in a frankly reckless manner, 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.840 should it matter whether or not it's a real gun. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.600 So that's the commissioner for from last hour. Uh, it's 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.600 all pending here. By the way, this program brought to 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.080 you by the great folks Mercedes Benz.

Jesse in La, Hey Jess, what's on your 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:35.560 mind today? 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.119 Hey gee, thank you for taking my call. Of course, 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.960 So I wanted to touch on the great merger, and 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:49.280 I think it's sports Washington. I think when the details 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.760 come out, this is just speculation. But I think what's 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.960 going to reveal is that TIF not not only is 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.920 not They're not an owner of people or or a team, 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.320 it's an owner of a league. And that interview with 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.800 Adam Silver, I thought you did a great job pressing 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.560 him because it sounds like he's prepping for them coming 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.600 to the NBA. He was talking very nice, like very nice, 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:12.840 a great interview. And I do have a conspiracy for you, Dad, Okay, 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.560 the conspiracy. The conspiracy. I don't think it's a coincidence 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.639 that a day after the PGA announcement was made that Messi, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.120 who has decided between Saudi Arabia and Barcelona and Inner Miami, 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.040 chooses Inner Miami. And part of the deal is that 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.600 he now owns a part of Apple, and Apple is 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.920 the highest valued American company, like our most formidable competition 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.040 America has to pis so conspiracy theory, but you know, 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:37.040 I don't think it's a surprise. 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.960 All right, Well, thank you, Jesse. Let's bring in Roger Bennett, 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:45.200 founder of Men and Blazers, joining us now to the celebration. Here. 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.520 Messi is coming to the United States. You said it 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.680 would never happen, Roger, and it. 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.159 Has Donny pay it was a try to listen to 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.000 the commission of the NBA, who looks like my eldest son. 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.359 He's so gorgeous. To follow him is an absolute delight. 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.000 And to be here with you on a day which 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.000 is for all who love the growth of football in 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.639 this nation, this beautiful nation. It is incredible, Linel Messi. 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.880 It's a bit like if Lebron decided so the Lakers, 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:14.960 I'm going to go to China. I'm going to play 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.800 for the Shanghai Sharks. I'm going to do commercial deals 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.160 all over that great nation. That's what Messi's doing by 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.800 coming here. Conspiracy theorist, I'm sorry, he doesn't own Apple. 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.119 He may play in a provisor. That may be, he 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.520 may play foot. We'll still score a couple of hat tricks, 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.400 but he's coming. It's a very creative deal to make 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.639 him come. And I think from Miami it's probably the 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:40.040 greatest day in that city's history since Don Johnson discovered teal. 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.920 Oh okay, I like that. Okay, how does this effect? 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.560 What is this effect? Who's this effect? 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.680 Well, America clearly from your last call and now has 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:55.399 conspiracy theories about football, which is progress. All right, I 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.080 mean it's immense. Just to be clear, America's had Pele. 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:02.760 You probably remember him that Dan, Yeah, Beckham came here. 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.480
