| 0:00.0 | I've talked to a number of my friends that have retired in the last four or five years. |
| 0:09.0 | And the thing that they all say is they have yet to find something that fills the competitive void. |
| 0:21.0 | You know, I actually draw a comparison between what you described to being on the trail. |
| 0:26.0 | That's probably the close doll I'll ever get to an NBA game. |
| 0:29.0 | And then, and then, and then, that the, though I have been courtsides, so you know, there's that. |
| 0:35.0 | But certainly I can see people who in politics also chase that high again. |
| 0:43.0 | Right. Very happy to welcome to Yang speaks or appear on his podcast, depending on where you're listening. |
| 0:58.0 | The 15th most prolific three point shooter in NBA history, Mr. J. J. Reddick. J. J. Welcome. |
| 1:05.0 | And your thanks for having me on. I'm actually tied for 14th with LeBron. |

| 1:59.0 | you would go down to Orlando for like two, three weeks and just you'd stay at a hotel in like Kasimi. |
| 2:07.0 | And you'd shuttle back and forth between Disney Wild World of Sports. |
| 2:12.0 | And you'd play two or three games a day for weeks at a time. |
