Thinking Basketball Podcasts.

My name is Ben.

Welcome back.

It is the post-all-Star game celebration of basketball.

I'm here with Cody.

And they did it.

I can't believe they did it.

But for the first time in like 25 years, I watched every possession of the All-Star game, and I had to rewound what I missed because it was so entertaining and exhilarating. And it was like an old was like a 1990s, All-Star game. It was amazing. So I'm going to backtrack and say, NBA All-Star Saturday night. I'm going to start

there for a second. We're going to get to the All-Star game. Backtrack. Backtrack. We're only 30

seconds into the show. Yeah, exactly. We're backtracking to, I guess technically everything's a

backtrack if you really think about it. But All-Star Saturday this year is the first time

since I think 2007, maybe 2008, that I didn't sit down and watch it live. Part of it was that I didn't realize it was starting in the middle of my day. Like I sat down and it was like 8 p.m. and I'm like, oh, it's usually like 8 to 10. So I'm going to fire it up. And I look on YouTube and it's like highlights from the three point content. I was like, wait a second, it happened? Love it. Is somebody beaming this from the future? What's going on? So I didn't see it live.

I watched it. Is somebody beaming this from the future?

What's going on?

So I didn't see it live.

I watched it as highlights. And I was like, meh, whatever. And guess what, Ben? I planned on skipping the All-Star game. Mm-hmm. Guess who reached out and was like Cody? All-Star game kind of rocks. You know who that person was?

Did I do that?

That was you.

Oh, wow. That was you.

So I watched.

I'm like, oh my God.

This is a great All-Star game. So I think that's the place to start. Let's celebrate. Let's start on a happy note, Ben. I've, this actually just made my entire week, you know, hearing this news, knowing that I could imbue that joy into your life.
