13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 3: but that doesn't really capture his importance. He effectively has

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: been Iran's wartime leader. With the former Supreme leader killed,

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,360

51

Speaker 1: It's expected the teams could be Seattle in Las Vegas,

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: but that vote wouldn't happen until later Twenty Three of

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: thirty NBA owners would have to approve the vote for

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: the process to move forward. The league would IDENTI five

55

Speaker 6: copyrighted material by using the dictionaries online articles to train

62
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,360
