Hello, welcome to the Whoop Collective podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we're doing on Monday afternoon, joining me from Oakland, California.

No longer from the undefeated brand new rebranding of the undefeated called what Mark Spiers and scape and scape.

So, and scape, smart spirit is going to take a little while for me to get used to saying that Kevin Pelton joining us from Seattle.

Still at ESPN.

Still at ESPN. Still one of our brothers at ESPN.

Yeah, I'm here with one of your brothers at ESPN too.

That's what I'm saying. You are. That's what I'm saying. You, you remain that just and scape and scape.

Because you're expanding not just you, you're going to still cover the NBA and ask about, but, um, and scape was expanding its footprint for what they're covering. Is that correct?

That is correct. And that means swag, Brian. Well, that means that's not swag now. That's true. I'll bet you.

I'll swag before. Now we can. Okay. All right. I'll, I can't wait till I see what you're wearing.

Oh, I'm going to have that hoodie with the ampersand on the front, you know.

That's right. Oh, ampersand. Nice. So this, this, this allows for ampersand usage. So that's, that's sweet.

All right. I'll be checking that out.

So I, I've decided and eat it that I'm not going to talk about the Lakers on this podcast. So I'm aware of what's going on there.

I'm choosing not to talk about it because I've talked about it on two of the last three podcasts. I'm just not gonna. Okay.

Blow hanging fruit. I can't, I just can't, I just can't, I feel like I owe it to our listeners to not. And I'm already saying too much.

I know that it's there. I'm moving past it. However, I don't think I could move past the 76ers who are off to a really good start with James Harden. Now, spears.

I got to say, the last couple of teams that James Harden went to.

They've got to have to really good starts. I'm not going to get a little bit. I'm not going to just lose myself in this initial little burst of energy that a team has may acquire a star player.

That said, I think they're the most compelling team to watch as we go down the rest of the rest of the regular season.

What if, what if is your first impressions of Ben as Harden has come in and had a pretty good couple of first games in the sixers.

I think they're going to grow on a bit of a streak now.
