Thursday Edition locked on NBA David Locke along with Washington Post National Columnist and author of bubble ball Ben Goliver Ben Goliver

Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? I'm bringing it right out of the shoot today.

Bring it on. I was born ready, Lock. I love it when you've got heaters in the chamber.

Okay. Thein game is the best single rule change by any sport ever in the history of sport to add entertainment to an entire schedule.

I didn't say that very well.

This rule change by the NBA has had the greatest impact on making the league more entertaining and games more

interesting and better played than any rule change by any other professional

sport ever since maybe like I don't know like lowering the

mound in 68 maybe like

hockey going to three on three on three and overtime is like good but it doesn't happen that often

this has changed the dynamic of the entire season, made games that would have not mattered,

mattered, made fan bases who wouldn't follow things follow things and has become a

crazy, crazy interesting without the games even happening

yet, which will be off the charts.

Well, I'm with you.

I've been caught up in the play in fever. There's no question about it. And it was funny, I was talking to someone today who was asking, well, like, what are the biggest legacies of the bubble? Like what from the bubble has the NBA adopted and you kind of go down in the

list and you're like well they've changed up how the arenas work there's fans

back in the building they've changed up some of the protocols of course you know, how does it look on television?

Well, it's back to how it used to look on television.

But the one thing that they did do was take the plane and expand it and have even more success

than they had with it in the bubble.

And it was pretty successful in the bubble.
