0:30.9	Welcome to the mismatch I'm Chris Vernon.
0:32.9	Enjoyed a me as he does every Friday from theRinger.com is Kevin O'Connor, AKA Kevin O'Bomer,
0:37.8	Kevin O'Connor, Kevin O'Candyland, Kevin O'Candy, Kevin O'Candy, Kevin O'Candy, Kevin O'Candy,
0:42.0	Kevin O'Connor, Kevin O'Connor, Kevin O'Connor, Kevin O'Connor, Kevin O'Connor, Kevin O'Connor,
0:44.2	Vernon, it's Friday. What up?
0:47.2	And we have made it to the All-Star Break for this odd NBA season where there are a ton of games
0:55.6	in a short amount of time, and that will be the case once all these teams come back. But these guys do

1:47.2	LeBron is awesome at drafting and his team is going to kill KD's team. But it was, I gotta tell you,
1:56.9	it's a fun way to do it, I think. I like this where they are, where you're now having these two
2:02.7	guys that are real superstars in the league and you're hearing their opinions and you want to see
