| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Smallball with Kenny Beecham on today's show. |
| 0:03.6 | We're going to be tier ranking all 30 NBA teams. Y'all know me. It ain't as cut and dry as these are the contenders and these guys are not the contenders and these guys are bad. Some of the tiers that we have, the name of these tears, are just maybe just a little bit different. You know, it's a small ball with Kitty Beaton is really about.

| 0:23.5 | We are... |
| 0:24.4 | Let me double check this, a few days away from the start of the NBA season. I ain't going to lie to you. I'm locked. So, like, I've been watching preseason games. Like, like, like real life studying preseason games. we're going to talk about a guy that stood |
