Hello, welcome to the Hoop Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA, which you're doing on midnight on Monday morning.

Joining us from New York City, although he was in Boston today for game one of the Celtics series,

which he was so impressed with, he turned around and left the city.

I thought you were going to cover the Boston Marathon on Monday morning, Tim Bottoms. I did not say to cover the Boston Marathon, though Hannah Storm is doing the telecast of it. And on Friday, she asked me about what time the game was and I asked if she was running the marathon, which she was very amused by, which is she was going to be in town for it. She said, nope, I'm just doing the TV. I definitely am not trying to run that. I said, all right. Well, not people know that Bon Temps is a runner and ran cross-country in high school. I never have even considered running a marathon because that is an insane amount of distance. God, Godspeed. Oh, actually, shout out to Drew Carter. Drew Carter. Oh, really?

Is running the marathon for charity on Monday.

Shout out to our guy, Drew Carter, in all seriousness, I was going to do that, and I totally forgot.

All right, shout out to Drew. Jackson, what are you doing with your life?

And good luck to him. It's going to be like 45 in Boston.

I would rather run the marathon on 45 degrees than 85 degrees. I'll tell you that.

That's exactly what I said to somebody else is doing it today. It's a much better

attempt if you're picking one.

All right. In case you don't know, Drew Carter is the voice of the Boston Celtics on TV and also is no.

Come on. People listen to the pot. Listen to us the pod pot listen to the pod no come on okay well this is a thing
