Hey everyone, it's Kevin O'Connor.

AKA Kevin O'Bomber, AKA Kevin O'Connor, Kevin O'Connor!

Wait a minute, you're not Chris Verna.

No Kevin, sadly I'm not as terubic or as raspy as Verna, but it is I, J. Kyle Man and folks.

Basketball has been and continues to be so very good.

That's exactly why Kyle and I are hosting a brand new basketball show on a brand new podcast feed,

The Ringers NBA Draft Show.

We're gonna have you covered every week as we go in depth and deep dive in hopes of answering an ever important question in the NBA.

Who's got next?

Whether it's an international phenom like Victor Windbanyama or the G League Scoot Henderson or stars from overtime elite like Aimeen Thompson as well as a full-blown swarm of talented prospects from the promising 2023 NBA Draft Class.

For sure Kyle, and we're also gonna get into players from the college ranks because this is a loaded class for us to discuss prospects rising and falling and we're gonna revisit and redraft recent draft classes and get into how the league's evolution could help inform what's valuable in a prospect of the future.

This is a podcast for a fan of every team whether you're losing and have high draft lottery odds or you're looking for sleepers later in the draft.

We're gonna be covering everything in the months that comes up. Please make sure you follow and subscribe to the Ringer NBA Draft Show and hit us with those five star ratings.

So I think a frozen nose is a sweaty armpit because your wrap tops so warm but then you're climbing hamps and heath and you get to the top and you're like,

when you can see the breath, but then your nose is still freezing to top.

Bruno, how are you doing this morning? I'm good. We've had some interesting things to go on over the course of the last few days since we last spoke.

Let's start with a couple things that happened last evening. I was at a game between the Grizzlies and the Heat, which I'll get to in a little bit with my thoughts on that.
