| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Smallball with Kenny Beachham. |
| 0:07.4 | We are finally down to two teams. |
| 0:11.2 | Who knew? |
| 0:12.2 | Other than the Charles Bassi Twitter account, who knew exactly what was going to happen in the |
| 0:16.9 | playoffs, not many people before the playoffs started. |
| 0:20.0 | My pick for the finals was |
| 0:21.4 | OKC versus Boston. As you know, Boston got eliminated in the first round after an |
| 0:26.3 | embarrassing 3-1 series comeback from Philly and then the Thunder just lost in game seven. |
| 0:31.5 | So I shout off a two. It is what it is. You know, this is why we love the sport. I feel like |
| 0:35.6 | every single year is becoming even more unpredictable than the last. I feel like a lot of the times growing up, and part of this credited to the Warriors and the Cavs, you just knew what the outcome was going to be. And now, who would have predicted the Pacers? Who would have predicted, you know what I'm saying? So it's always a bit unpredictable. We had a really solid game seven. And I'm telling you all this because I'm |
| 0:55.9 | very excited about it. I have an appearance at the NBA finals coming up. Can you believe that little |
| 1:01.9 | kitty, kitty beats him going to be at the finals and hopefully talking to players. And we did a little |
| 1:06.8 | bit on numbers on the board of kind of talking through how many players that will participate |
| 1:11.6 | in the finals, have we had connections with or talked to or interviewed? Quite a good amount of people. |
| 1:17.6 | So one thing I'm anxious about, not like debilitating anxiety or anything, but like one of my |
| 1:24.0 | biggest things is trying to get people experience with me being on my show or doing |
| 1:29.6 | interviews with me for them to remember me the second time around. I've had interviews, right? |
| 1:35.4 | When I interviewed a player, I thought I did such a great damn job. And then I see that same player |
| 1:39.0 | a year later and they have no recollection. Part of that is maybe the interview wasn't very good |
| 1:43.0 | for them. Part of that is because I'm assuming they're meeting a thousand people every day. They're an NBA player. |
| 1:47.0 | But my favorite thing is for when you cost past with that person the second time and like, |
| 1:51.1 | Hey, yo, Kenny, I'm like, I did it. I did it. So like here's the list of guys in this NBA finals. |
