| 0:07.0 | That was the day that LeBron James decided he was going to announce his contract. |
| 0:11.2 | And just randomly. |
| 0:13.1 | And we talked about this last week. |
| 0:17.0 | And because of the nine and one fiasco last year where I incorrectly forecasted what the Warriors would do, |
| 0:24.9 | I was asked by Warriors Reddit and Warriors Twitter whether I would do that prediction again. |
| 0:30.8 | So I did. |
