Good evening, Sweet World, and welcome to the No Dunks podcast on the Athletic Network.

It's Sunday night, April 12th, 2020, and we're here to recap the quarterfinal action of the NBA Horse Challenge. Yeah, it's come to this. I'm S-K-E-E-E-E-T-S and joining us on the phone. We got the homie M-E-L-A-S. What's up, Tass? What's going on? We got the bearded one, K-E-R-B-Y. Trey. A-Y-O. And last but not at least making the magic happen. He plays a quicker game. I would have preferred that tonight. It's just J-D. H-E-L-L-O. There he is, and here we are. No, Lili. He wisely sat this one out. First question, Tass. How's your horse bracket looking? You still alive? Can you win the money?

That may have been my favorite part, actually, seeing the, the graphic, the image that ESPN sent out with the eight heads on it.

It was a beautiful graphic, and then it was all downhill from there.

Listen, kudos to ESPN for trying this. It was an effort.

It was very long. It was very long.

It was very long.

And camera work could have used a little bit more high definition, but I understand

you also can't send out camera people.

We can't send out camera crews to these people's houses.

So we're working with a lot of nephews as Tamika Catchings had out there.

Chris Paul had his son out there.

Chris Paul Jr.

working a camera.

Paul Pierce had his son, Prince, working a camera.

And I must have felt like deja vu to JD to some of our, you know, some of our shoots

where you have a secondary camera, somebody holding the camera.

You got to input that footage and then you're editing from that.

So, hey, it was all right.

I want to see a little bit more creativity from some of these people.

Yeah.

Let's be honest. That was the part that I thought was a little rough.
