Joining me, what do you see in Eurobasket today?

Wow.

What a great day of games.

You know, we're headed into the crunch time of Eurobasket. so a lot of teams are vying for position some really really greedy games we got some blowouts

today but man i think some really really good basketball is on the way this was a great day of

basketball honestly especially for Serbia you know coming off the game versus lapidahad

that went down to the wire today it was it was a total deconstruction. But that's good because they have maybe the game of Eurobasket on the way versus Turkey. And I cannot wait to see that. Huge one coming up. We'll make our way around Eurobasket. We'll talk about all the games that happened today. So many NBA players stood out today and had really good games. We'll talk about that. Of course, we play counted up. We're kind of the

most interesting fun things in the NBA, including LeBron James' new Nike ad that is just

parody upon parody upon parody of what he is at this point. So we'll talk about that. But let's

start here, Swipe up. The Yokic and Yonis Valchunis, both playing in Eurobasket right now. Yonis, or Yonis Valchunus and Lithuania get a win against Finland. We'll talk about that here in a minute. Serbia gets a win against Chechia, 82 to 60, dominant win for Yokic. He only had to play 18 minutes. And so they didn't really had to do a whole lot. But I wanted to use this to talk about the Nuggets, especially having you on the Nuggets guy to talk about this. Where do we stand? Let's just start here because as an outside Nuggets like observer, where do we stand with Jonas Valanchunis, the standoff that happened before, is everything just settled he's going to play?

We're fine with it. Like no bad blood, anything? Yeah, it's all good. You know, I think a lot of this had to do with there seemed to be some prior agreements that Yonis had in place with. It sounds like the Kings and his agent that if once he got done with the year, he would be going back to Greece to play. and it looked like about a three-year deal worth about $12 million.

And I think some of this was about Yon, once he got done with the year, he would be going back to Greece to play. And it looked like about a three-year deal worth about $12 million.

And I think some of this was about Yonis wanted to go not just have security long term because obviously he has a partially guaranteed year that's due after this season coming up.
