Thinking basketball podcast.

My name is Ben.

Welcome back to another episode and all kinds of things are happening in the NBA this week.

Now, Cody, last night I had the incredible pleasure after your description of the San Antonio

Spurs as your favorite team of all time to watch of going to the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and

watching the San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembe Nama. And it was a little sad for me because Dylan Harper

didn't play last night and Kauai Leonard didn't play last night. But,

you know, it's nice to be able to see an alien who makes, I was thinking about this.
