Now playing.

Open floor.

This is Open Floor.

Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix back at it.

An NBA podcast with Sports Illustrated senior writer.

I think it's time that the world get to know.

My guy Chris Manix.

I think your opinion is shared by everyone.

And now it begins.

Now it begins.

Bang!

All right, we are back.

We are back in Los Angeles.

We are back in studio.

And look who is here in studio, in L.A., parachuting in to the West Coast, making the rare in studio

appearance. Evan Turner with us again. What brings you

But yeah, I guess when you add it up, you just never know. You just never know. So, yeah, imagine how hard it is to date me. I've never imagined that. If I'm that unpredictable, imagine what it's like to be on the other line. Hey, you're whimsical. You'll kind of go where it moves you. Yeah, it's like with Greg Oden at commercial back in the day.
