and more importantly fantasy did because he did more when some of the best directors and stars that were involved with the

Oscar race this year so keep an eye out for that and don't forget to check out all of our podcasts.

On the ringer podcast network just go to the ringer.com slash podcast I talked on Friday I said there was a chance we might have Kevin Durant

people sent in some great mail back questions I have them in a document they are ready to be to be executed when we get Mr. Durant in a room

which I think will happen in the next two to three weeks it's going to happen in Oakland I thought it might happen in LA

I was a little dubious because there's a lot going on here and and we're pushing a couple weeks but thank you they don't send any more

questions I have more than enough we're going to pin him down it's going to be like frost Nixon coming up I we're going to talk to cousin

Sal and we're also going to run this interview that we did with Darryl Mori that is really good because slow

conference is coming up in Boston first project.

All right we're going to call cousin Sal and a second I want to talk about something that happened this weekend with Adam Silver kind of opening the door

for changing the NBA playoffs to a one through 16 seating situation where you throw the conferences out.
