Welcome back to 7 p.m.

I'm Carmelo, Anthony, here with my co-host. You know what it is? My name is Kazim Fami Ui-Weide. You could call me Kaz, and this is a wave original presented by Fanduil, the official sports bet and partner of the NBA. Melo. This is going to be a follow on, man. I can't wait. I can't wait.
