Always the hamstring. (6:50) Ja Morant said he is going to stop dunking. Seriously. (13:02) Yesterday the CEO of United healthcare was assassinated outside of a hotel in New York City. Horrible.

And now he’ll undergo shoulder surgery. The other part to this story is Azeez Al-Shaair’s suspension was upheld by the NFL. (38:00) Diontae Johnson has been suspended by the Ravens for a game. Why?

0:53.8	We want to start today by going through a few NBA storylines because while we may not be

1:05.6	Max Fried and the Yankees, the NBA season is rolling merrily along.
1:13.9	And we've touched on the product issues and how unwatchable it is. We've touched on the ratings and how down they are. People just
