0:00.0	Quick, I have this brilliant idea for the NBA Cup.
0:02.3	We'll get to your calls.
0:03.1	We'll hear from Boomer, all that. I think one of the issues that the Cup had last night was Las Vegas was tepid. It didn't have an electricity. Certainly during introductions. It felt bigger in the fourth quarter, but yeah, it was missing something. It was missing something. And so what they're doing next year, for those that are not aware, is the semifinals are no longer in Vegas. next year the semifinals are going to be in the home arenas.
0:24.7	Okay. And so what they're doing next year, for those that are not aware, is the semifinals are no longer in Vegas. Next year, the semifinals are going to be in the home arenas. Okay, that's fine. So the Nick Magic game, instead of being in Vegas, would have been in Orlando. I am not in favor of the championship game being at a home arena, and I'll tell you why. Imagine last night was at Madison Square Garden. Does anyone think it really would have worked? Like, you're telling me the garden fans would have just made believe it was a bigger deal? And can you imagine the confetti coming out of Madison Square Garden? Do you think there's a higher resale value on a game like that? No. Season ticket older? I don't. I don't.

1:26.8	Butler plays.

1:28.4	Hinklefield House.
1:29.5	Do I have that right?
1:30.2	Hinkle Field House where Butler plays.
1:32.9	Continuing with Rop Arena.
1:36.1	And then eventually you can get to Madison Square Garden home of St. John.
1:38.9	No, no, no, you're not hearing my idea.
1:40.9	College venues, not arenas that host college games.
1:44.4	Can you imagine the app?
1:46.5	Because these college kids
1:47.4	are just going to be pumped up.
1:48.5	They're going to be,
1:48.9	oh, are you kidding me?
1:49.7	Like Cameron Indoor is going to get an NBA game.
