Good day, sweet world, and welcome to a little bonus edition of the No Dunks

podcast.

I'm Jay Skeets here in Atlanta.

We got our super producer, JD, pushing the buttons.

And joining us on the phone, we got a very special guest today.

He's the editor-in-chief of the Athletic D.C. He hosts the excellent NBA podcast Hoops Adjacent, and he's a basketball Hall of Famer for crying out loud. It's David Aldridge, DA. Thanks for jumping on the horn today, man. Skeets, thank you for having me, brother. Appreciate it. How are you holding up? Is everybody, you know,

healthy, everybody good right now? Yeah, no, as long as the Wi-Fi holds out, our boys are fine.

Two teenage boys, they're on their computers 21 hours a day, you know what I mean? So, so they're good. You know, they've been home for a couple of weeks we're doing a remote learning

thing with their schools um so so far so good we're trying to kick them out of the house every day

for at least half hour or so to go outside and walk around do something you know social distancing

themselves as they can um but so far so good man i mean you mean, you know, we are so blessed. I got a,

I got a roof over my head. I, you know, I got food in the pantry, you know, the lights are on,

you know, it's compared to what other people are going through during this pandemic, you know,

around the world, we have it so easy and so good, man.

I mean, I was talking to somebody the other day and I was like, you know, this is so crazy.

All these people are talking about these incredible hardships and there's all, they're making us do all this stuff, you know,

there's terrible things, we can't go, and it's literally like, all they're asking you to do is stay home.

Yeah.

They're not asking you to go climb Mount Everest. You know, they're asking you to stay in your house. You know, so as long as you've got food in your house, what's the, and you can turn the lights on and off? What's the big deal? I mean, what's the worst? that's the worst thing that they're going to ask you to do,

the people are going to ask you to do the sacrifice in your life.

You've had a pretty good life.

That's the worst thing that they're going to ask you to do, the people are going to ask you to do the sacrifice in your life.
