0:00.0	There's been a lot in the news lately about the NBA salary cap and ratings and what the
0:06.5	next TV deal is going to be like.
0:09.9	So I wanted to bring in Larry Kuhn, briefly, to talk about some of that stuff.
0:14.1	Larry, of course, has been a great mentor to me.
0:16.5	It really helped me in terms of my knowledge of the salary cap, both through his excellent
0:20.1	CBA FAQ website and also being nice enough to be available whenever I had a bunch of stupid
0:26.2	questions as well. And also, he and I have worked together for a long time now on Sports
0:31.6	Business Classroom. So there's going to talk a little bit more about that at the end of
0:35.5	this segment. But critically, how are you?
0:38.1	I'm doing great. It's like you know, it's we're ramping up for Sports Business Classroom and
0:43.6	this we're about three weeks out from it. So there's not much time to get registered. But

1:08.4	propensity for having guests on who don't really sleep because he and Danny both like get three
1:14.2	times the amount of work done of a normal person like me who actually requires eight hours of sleep
1:19.1	per night. So I think where we should start in this conversation is just talking about what we've
1:23.4	been through here for the league's finances the last couple of years with the interruption in
1:28.8	play due to COVID and the bubble and then not having fans this year. So why don't we just rewind
1:34.4	and talk about what the players and the leagues agreement ended up being with respect to how they
1:42.0	are going to deal with the revenue loss of COVID and how that would affect the salary cap and tax
