Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast. I'm your host Sam Vassini. We are presented by The Athletic. I am coming to folks, not live, because you guys are listening to a recording of me speaking right now, not necessarily watching me on YouTube or something like that. But I'm coming to you from Sydney, Australia right now, because I've moved as I

announced on, what was that? I guess it was Tuesday, maybe Monday American. The days are all

fucked up, I'll talk about with Spencer here momentarily, but Spencer Perlman's on the podcast,

and he's going to be the first guest that I've had since

moving to Australia because I want to talk about the NBA draft and I want to talk about

the NBA finals and there are very few people that I feel are better equipped to talk about

both of those things than Spencer.

So Spencer, how are you doing, man?

I'm good.

Thank you for that intro.

Thanks for having me again.

Yeah.

I can't believe you actually still want to talk about the same draft class we've been watching for the last year, whatever it's been.

So want to, I guess, is versus half to, I guess is like the breakdown there.

I get paid to talk about this draft class for another, I guess, six weeks.

And then I'm excited to move on to talk about Kate Cunningham, because holy shit, if you guys

haven't seen Cade Cunningham yet, he is a monster.

I'm excited to talk a lot about

like Usman Garuba and his weird ass game and how that's going to fit in the NBA. Like I could not

be more excited to move on to the 21 draft class, but man, we still got about six weeks to go, man.

Yep.

So the way this is going to break down, we're going to talk about the NBA finals for like 20 minutes here at the start.
