Hello and welcome to the Hoop Collective Podcast. Happy Holidays everybody. We are still

talking about the NBA which is cracklin' even though it's whole season. Joining us from

Toronto on Terry O Canada, we just saw, by the way, it's Wednesday afternoon for Mr.

Bondtemp's Wednesday morning for me. And Mr. Bondtemp's you were at the Clippers

Raptors game. You're in Toronto for this week. Hello, Mr. Tim Bondtemp's. Hello,

before we started the podcast, McMahon asked me, is that a river next to Toronto?

And I said, no, that's a great lake. So it shows you where to show you a rat with geography class.

It's a great one. It's a great one. Listen, I didn't know they had lakes in Canada.

That's our man from Texas, span McMahon. Howdy partners and Mahalo. Before we, how's

that for some culture? Well, Mahalo means thank you. Yeah, thank you for having me.

Oh, there you go. Bondtemp's real quick before we talk about the game, the McMahon was at Tuesday

night, which may or may not have been seen by our average NBA fans. I was reading about the game

you were at with the Clippers. I've been playing better. Got the win. And it said the norm

Powell picked up his championship ring. That was what it said there. Do you know, but did he really

not had his championship ring until now? I didn't talk to norm last night because I was doing

some other interviews, but I believe it was at his place here. But he had, he just hadn't been

to his place here. He just I don't believe it. Yeah, I don't think he'd been at home because he got

traded. He got traded during the season when they were in Tampa. And he hadn't played a game here

since I think February of 2020 because they went on a long road trip before. That's a pandemic.

And then he they played in Tampa after the bubble and then he got traded. So at this the first time

you've been back here since then, I wouldn't call it his home then. It's a place there.

Well, hopefully it's an Airbnb or something. Maybe maybe the Raptor said it. Yeah, I'm not maybe
