Welcome to another dish of the ringer NBA show. I'm Chris Vernon joining me on this Tuesday

0:16.3

as he will every Tuesday throughout the NBA season. Kevin O'Connor from the ringer. What's

0:21.0

up, Kev? What's going on, Chris? Thanks for having me on today.

0:25.0

So last night you wrote the King of the Corp feature on the ringer today. Last night

0:31.1

the big story is Russell Westbrook and now averaging a triple double. You somehow dutifully

tied this into Westworld, which I don't watch. Do you watch Westworld? I watch Westworld

1:41.9

it. So this is probably a bad example. Remembering like a game of throwing like the first

1:45.8

episode, the kid flies out the window at the end of the first episode. I was like,

1:48.8

damn it. What happened? And then I had to watch the next episode. I know what you mean.
