Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘prohibited’ as in the Knicks as in the Spurs as in President Trump as in Madison Square Garden as in New York City. The NBA Finals are back at the Garden! Can you believe it? President Trump is going to the game and now a Watch Party has been canceled outside MSG. The team says it was the city and not because of Trump. The NYPD says the decision was made with the Secret Service. The vibes are down, but not out. (12:40) What are the prices like for tickets? BIG MONEY. So much so even Josh Hart commented on it. (25:50) Kawhi Leonard and his uncle Dennis have now been interviewed by NBA investigators. The team and Leonard continue to deny the allegations. Adam Silver wants this wrapped up. (31:50) I went to Germany for something. Let me explain what I did. (35:30) Review: Paper Bag Plan. (39:02) NPPOD. (42:00) President Trump has taken his side in the MLB and MLBPA fight. And of course, it’s the side of baseball. (46:15) The World Cup starts on Friday and it’s a mess. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
