Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

Speaker 6: and you know, not All Star because it's only one
Speaker 6: All Star game, right, Like.
Speaker 5: They all want to be in the big All Star Game.
Speaker 6: So that you know that the concept of that is
Speaker 6: to be able to celebrate our G League players during
Speaker 6: the All Star weekend. Bring them there and then you
Speaker 6: know we did that last year. Now say, you know
Speaker 6: our group, how can we like make it even you know,
Speaker 6: something different, innovative, creative, And the idea there was okay,
Speaker 6: let's let's you know, kind of partner with someone to say, okay,
Speaker 6: you know you you have your own team, you know,
Speaker 6: pick the team. So we break the teams up into
Speaker 6: three three teams, four teams, Mark with Yeah, so will

Speaker 5: We're going to you know, the way the game will go.
Speaker 6: We'll try to, you know, kind of make it too
Speaker 6: ca is you know, where it's you know, faster pace
Speaker 6: and kind of gamifyed. You know, you'll be able to
Speaker 6: stream it on your platform, so streams, you know, you know,
Speaker 6: distributed in different ways and just make it a different,
Speaker 6: you know again, like a different experience of a game,
Speaker 6: and get really get really creative and you know, you guys,
Speaker 6: you know, being willing to be a part of that
Speaker 6: is obviously huge, I'm telling us, and it's going to
Speaker 6: be i think, you know again, empowering and a great,
Speaker 6: great opportunity for our guys.
Speaker 5: General managers. Yeah, I mean, I told, I told the guys.
Speaker 5: I mean I've been watching.
Speaker 4: I'm already watching the GD but now I'm even more
Speaker 4: intently watching because I got a scout to see who's
Speaker 4: gonna be on our team. Because we don't come to
Speaker 4: just be part of things. We only participate because we're
Speaker 4: coming to win everything. So we appreciate the opportunity to
Speaker 4: come and win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but now I definitely appreciate it for sure. And
Speaker 3: is it something that you know, you guys want to
Speaker 3: do more of as far as you know, untraditional type
Speaker 3: marketing reaching. We're in a different world now, right where
Speaker 3: people are consuming content different It's not just a matter
Speaker 3: of watching television, right, It's a matter of social media.
Speaker 3: It's a matter of YouTube, it's a matter of podcast,
Speaker 3: a variety of different things. So yeah, is that's something
Speaker 3: that you know, you guys are embracing more on that
Speaker 3: online social media marketing type of platform.
Speaker 5: No doubt.
Speaker 6: And and and we we have to you know, one
Speaker 6: just know, like the younger fans that we want to reach,
Speaker 6: and you know that we want connected to the g
Speaker 6: League and to be able to introduce again like new fans,
Speaker 6: younger fans that you know, we can even be the
Speaker 6: first stop to them becoming NBA fans. And then that's
Speaker 6: just again as a league, like when I talk about
Speaker 6: testing rules and you know, introducing you know, new new
Speaker 6: concepts to the game, that's you know, like League of Innovation,
Speaker 6: that's what we want to be known as.
Speaker 5: So I think this is even you know a further
Speaker 5: step in that direction.
Speaker 4: And so again this has taking place during All Star weeks.
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be Indiana this year. Talk about things
Speaker 4: that the time and that has happened, and get the details.
Speaker 4: Everybody who wants to support can be there to will be.

Speaker 6: NBA All Star Game. It will be in the footprint

Speaker 6: footprint of the NBA activations going on. So if you're
Speaker 6: add the NBA All Star like the All Star NBA

Speaker 6: a lot of people can't get those tickets. You can

Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland.
Speaker 6: Security, thirty G League teams, the NBA teams, so we're
Speaker 6: really close to that. And then continue to create platforms
Speaker 6: and oppert tun of these for our guys to grow
Speaker 6: and grow on the court and off the court.
Speaker 5: So you know, we again we you know, we.
Speaker 6: Talked about ignite, But for all of our our players,
Speaker 6: we offer them a continuing education program. We offer them
Speaker 6: job shadow programs, we offer you know, entrepreneur programs where
Speaker 6: they continue to learn. So just continue to put the
Speaker 6: league in a place, put our players in a place
Speaker 6: where they can continue to grow and learn.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the state of basketball right now?
Speaker 3: A lot of people, you know, the Europeans there taken over.
Speaker 3: It's an international game, and even how the game is
Speaker 3: played it is more of a European style, the euro
Speaker 3: step right, and people are playing the game more different.
Speaker 3: Step on steph has changed the game as far as
Speaker 3: shooting threes. Now everybody shoot threes. At twelve years old,
Speaker 3: people come down from half court shoot threes. You're a
Speaker 3: big man, but the big man is not really relevant
Speaker 3: in today's game anymore. Seven foot is when beyond the
Speaker 3: seven four and he's a guard pretty much. So the
Speaker 3: game has changed a lot since the nineties and early
Speaker 3: two thousands and the golden age of the NBA. How
Speaker 3: people like to say, but I think it's I think
Speaker 3: it's in a good space. What is your thoughts as
Speaker 3: far as somebody that's actually played the game and you've
Speaker 3: you've seen different stages of the game where we are now,
Speaker 3: how you feel I think, I think the game is
Speaker 3: is great, And I mean I even say that like
Speaker 3: with a critical I'm not saying like I like every
Speaker 3: you know, I would like a couple of more post touches.
Speaker 3: But I think the game is I think the game
Speaker 3: is great. I think the game is a global game,
Speaker 3: you know. I think the idea that it has to
Speaker 3: be you know, how many you know, Europeans or international players,
Speaker 3: you know taking over the game. I just think like
Speaker 3: good players, you know, find their way to the best
Speaker 3: league in the world, like the NBA is the best
Speaker 3: league in the world. I think styles, I think that evolves.
Speaker 3: Like you know, I think right now it's a style
Speaker 3: of kind of five man out and you know, pace
Speaker 3: and you know, shooting a lot of perimeter shots. That's
Speaker 3: you know, that's the style that teams are seeing success
Speaker 3: with now.
Speaker 6: I think that'll that will evolve. I don't know if
Speaker 6: we'll ever go back to you know, when I had
Speaker 6: to come play the Nicks in the Garden and like
Speaker 6: it was like Oakley and Mason and charl Smith. I
Speaker 6: don't know, we won't ever go back to that. But
Speaker 6: you know, I think I think your game would have translated.
Speaker 4: I think so I know your game, like I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's a Tim Duncan, but your game wasn't really Tim Duncan.
Speaker 4: You were almost like a face up for in a
Speaker 4: sense where if you had to step back. I feel
Speaker 4: like brook Lopez was a post up man that now
Speaker 4: shoots more threes than anybody on outside of day.
Speaker 6: You work on those like you're gonna like, I didn't
Speaker 6: shoot a lot through, but I would have worked, you know,
Speaker 6: in this era, I would have worked on it more.
Speaker 6: I would have been more empowered to shoot them, you know,
Speaker 6: the coaches would I would have felt better about Yeah.
Speaker 6: So yeah, but I think like all of that comes
Speaker 6: in and you know, kind of waves and I think
Speaker 6: we'll see, you know, at some point, based on like
Speaker 6: the talent and the type of players you see, you're
Speaker 6: gonna see a different way the game is played.
Speaker 4: I think there's another evolution that's happening, and maybe most
Speaker 4: people are n't aware of his players that are now
Speaker 4: in the exact position when we talk about you know,
Speaker 4: we just sat down with Andre Goadala and now at
Speaker 4: the NBA, NBA PA, Joe Dumars is here at the league.
Speaker 4: You're here talk about that evolution of guys now stepping
Speaker 4: in exact roles. You know, Adam Silver probably you know,
Speaker 4: he won't be running the NBA forever, right, so now
Speaker 4: we've got guys and training that a league that's dominated
Speaker 4: by people looking like us can now be run by
Speaker 4: people that.
Speaker 5: Look at us.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'll go even like beyond, like beyond then.
Speaker 6: I think that's a nice thing where you see, you know,
Speaker 6: I came up where you know, it was a Joe
Speaker 6: Dumars running the team and a Billy Knight running the
Speaker 6: team and Stuve Jackson. So like, you know, what we've
Speaker 6: seen that like what we see now with guys that I
Speaker 6: think that's really exciting is like they're like business prowess,
Speaker 6: you know, like Lebron the things that he's done, you know,
Speaker 6: off the court, like he's you know, arguably the best
Speaker 6: player ever, right, you know I say that to respect.
Speaker 6: You know, youpect you don't think he's the best. I
Speaker 6: just always you know, like we didn't really get to
Speaker 6: see Oscar. We didn't really get to see you know,
Speaker 6: I saw Kareem, but we didn't really get to see career.
Speaker 6: So I always think of it like I don't want to.
Speaker 6: You know, my father he taught me that he's like,
Speaker 6: you know, for the fathers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't came.
Speaker 4: Into this league there was a man dominating. He wants
Speaker 4: to be respectful of the people who think that that man.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's so.
Speaker 6: I mean, but the things that they're doing, uh, you
Speaker 6: know what magic is done in ownership. You know, Michael
Speaker 6: Jordan has done ownership that we haven't. You know, we
Speaker 6: hadn't witnessed that before. I think seeing that in addition
Speaker 6: to you have Andre leading the players union now and
Speaker 6: you know guys you know, doing things in different executive role,
Speaker 6: I think the combination of those two is really powerful.
