European pro players going to school. What about players in the NBA going back to school? (14:20) Giannis has been going off. He returned to the Bucks and he had some words after the win over the Bulls. (21:10) Let me explain what is happening with technology and MLB. Major League Baseball will be centralizing, and controlling, certain parts of technology in the minor leagues. (34:00) It’s the end of the year. You know what that means. Let’s go over everything that happened this past year, and what will happen in the new year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
