| 0:11.1 | Is Felgrin Maize your favorite afternoon show? |
| 0:14.7 | Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. |
| 0:17.7 | And, Maz. |
| 0:24.0 | So, James. So Jalen brown down down on the Olympic basketball team is because of Nike. I think he's right. It should be noted, he's the best player in the |
| 0:41.0 | league, not on the team. He's not a Nike guy. Kyrie Irving's the second best player in the |
| 0:47.8 | league, not on the team. He got dropped by Nike in 2022. I don't think it's a coincidence. |

| 1:55.1 | to abuse it. And I don't think this rises to abuse of power. It's the Olympics. It gets political. It was political. MJ and Isaiah Thomas. But it does feel like an overstep, an overreach by Nike. Jalen Brown not being on the team is ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous.
