Hello, welcome to the Who Collective podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we're doing this time on Wednesday afternoon.

Joining me from New York City is Tim Bontemps.

What about Foulish?

And joining us now from Cologne, Germany.

He's had planes, trains and automobiles to get there from Slovenia today,

where he's going to be watching the full play of the European Championships this week.

It's banned McMahon.

Howdy partners. I made it despite my complete lack of understanding of how to go from a plane to a train with a check bag, but here we are.

All right, well listen, it's not easy. It's not something you do every day in Germany.

So, remind us real quick before we get into this. Who is in the group that you're going to be watching for the next week?

Some pretty interesting teams and some NBA stars you're going to be watching.

Yeah, this is by far the toughest group.

And so the top four teams advance beyond group play.

And usually if you're a favorite, that's no problem.

But they call this thing the group of death.

You have Slovenia with Luca France.

So Slovenia with Luca in Drogge. France with Colbert and Fournier.

Does not have Nick Batum, who was the guy who had the block shot to prevent Slovenia from beating France.

Does not have Victor Wemba Yamaha.

Does not have Victor, which certainly was disappointing to me among a lot of other people who would have loved to see him on this stage.

Like Luca was as an 18 year old when Slovenia won the championship.

I know it's so Slovenia, France, Lithuania, who has two very high caliber NBA starting big guys and Belgrade in the Bundesliga.
