Welcome to the Athletic NBA show.

One day through on the Athletic Podcast Network.

Okay, here we go.

All right, we're back.

It's another edition of Hoops of Jason on the Athletic NBA show.

David Aldridge here in D.C. Marcus in the Bay awaiting the I-80 series. Damn, I want to go to that series. It's going to be fun. I want to go to that series, man. Well, what's stopping you? We've got a nice hotel waiting for you? What's stopping me is like, y'all got 75 people covering the Warriors. That's what stopping me like We ain't got nobody cover of the king.
