0:00.0	Hello and welcome group chat. I am Justin Verrier and joining me, Rob Mahoney, Big Was. I think I was served
0:18.5	a Brony James Corner 3 highlight yesterday, which means it is officially this summer in the NBA.
0:27.4	Rob, have you been breaking down those breakaway dunks comparing them to old LeBron tapes?
0:32.6	I did see the breakaway dunk.
