Welcome back to another episode of Smallball with Kitty Beecham. Hope you are doing well.

I am feeling phenomenal. It's something about post-all-star break that really get me going.

Maybe it's more trade deadline oriented, but I feel like I'm watching and taking notes on basketball more than ever before.

And I'm talking,

I'm talking different levels. The other day, I watched NC State versus Notre Dame women's NCAA basketball, and I promise you, that was the greatest basketball game I've witnessed all year long.

I was taking notes on it knowing damn well that these notes aren't going anywhere. But you know what?

I was mostly invested in it because the Chicago Sky at least had the third overall pick in the draft and Olivia Miles and Centron. Those are two lottery picks. I'm like, okay, one of these two dudes might be up on my favorite team soon. And then later that day, the pick got traded. So I don't regret watching a game because it was a double overtime banger. I've been doing the same thing with college basketball. Last night, I watched Maryland versus Michigan State, half court, further than half court, buzzer beat it by Trey Holloman. Like, hoops is great right now. But y'all know the real job is the NBA, so I got a lot to get to today. This is one of those episodes with no real themes, some of my favorite episodes where I basically just ramble about stuff that's on my mind in the NBA. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

something that's been to works for months.

It's so crazy to think about.

I actually had this conversation with one of the homies yesterday about all of the crazy,

weird accomplishments that we've had over the last couple years.

Like as a diehard Chicago Bulls fan and watching Jimmy Butler get drafted 30th overall, watch him get no PT

his rookie season and him blossoming into an all-star, then eventually an all-N-B-A player,

then eventually a Hall of Famer is kind of crazy to think about. And now we're doing a collaboration

with his brand, Big Face Coffee, Saturday is the drop. We got hats, we got hoodies, we got shirts,

we got mugs, very limited. So if you have not been locked in, put the notifications on and

enjoy basketball, Twitter, and Instagram so you do not miss the drop. Also, we have other shows

in this network. Numbers on the board drops Tuesdays and Saturdays, teed up with P.

Andreessen drops on Thursday. So if you need more Hoops Talk, this is the network for you.

And actually, later in the show, we don't talk a little bit about sports coverage.

It's been a big conversation, and it's something I've been thinking about a lot since
