You're listening to Draft Kings Network. Hey there, boys and girls, welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with Andrew Brand.

I'm your host, Andrew Brent. We're produced by Jack Connell, musical producer. That music you hear under me is my son, Sam Brandt, at Boy Blue Tunes with his music.

We're presented as always by Draft Kings. Hope you enjoy the podcast, share it with friends, and find it unique among the sports

podcast. Speaking of which, there's a great podcast newsletter, colleague of mine, Jill Pumpliano.

Joe's written some great stuff before the past couple weeks on the kawai situation,

on the Bears, Stadium, on F1 sale, etc, etc.

Stuff that I'm interested in.

I learn a lot from reading Joe.

I've been on Joe's podcast a lot.

It's time that the two of us got together again with he being part of my podcast.

And it's welcome to share it with his listeners as well.

So without further ado, this week's special podcast is a sit-down interview with Joe

Pompiliano and Joe, welcome to the program again.

Your repeat listener, you get points.

I appreciate it.

Repeat guests, sorry.

Repeat guests, yeah.

Thank you so much for having me.

I'm excited to do this.

Yeah, it's always great to get together with your knowledge and your insights and we can share back and forth.

I want to get right to the sort of issue of the day in sports business involves the NBA.
