Hello and welcome the Hoop Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA which we're doing on Thursday all kinds of different times.

I've moved from Abu Dhabi to London today, my, if not my favorite

place in the world, one of my favorite places in the world, I'm in a very good mood, so I'm a great-eye anglofile. Summer in London, it's spectacular. Took in the while I was waiting for this

podcast tonight. I was taking in the BBC reality shows, unparalleled. Joining us from New York City where he's back from

an unterminable time in Las Vegas is Timbott tips.

Hello Brian. I'm glad to report your bag made it with you to London. There were a lot of people in

Vegas who were very concerned about the state of your luggage where it was so glad you got your bag back and

glad to get out of Las Vegas myself so good news over here too. The bag situation is

still not good. It's not good to have your clothes sit and what I assume was a hundred degree heat in Texas for four days outside

They're not in good shape. I'll just leave it at that joining us not from Texas from a family trip in southern Vermont.

Well, won't say where exactly because the people go town looking for him is Ban McMahon.

Howdy, partners, we were just doing ropes courses and flying down some mountain

coasters a day you know so far so good. Sounds like you're in the like a Tobagan run like a Tobago.

Oh yeah it's like he's in the Alps this and run like a Tabagica. Oh, yeah.

It's like he's in the Alps.

That's what they do in Switzerland.

He sure is.

Yeah.

It's in the Alps of New England.

Yeah.

So Team USA has moved to London.

They're going to play the South Sudan on Saturday night. They looked very good in their most recent exhibition game, which was in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, just throttled Serbia. We'll talk about that a little bit later.
