It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

All right, welcome on to a Summer League hotel room edition of Hollinger and Duncan.

I don't know how long we can go because John is going to need to get to the

arena to watch Alperin Sengen about four hours early, just to kind of prepare himself a little

bit. I got to pick the exact correct seat and just really, really think about, you know,

where, you know, where are the best, you know, stalking angles.

And yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot to process.

Um, bring a jacket, by the way, it was freezing in there yesterday.

I know you just got here.
