Pablo Torre Finds Out

The Sporting Class: How the NBA's Masters of the Universe Box Each Other Out

03 Apr 2025

Description

Franchise valuations are going up, up, up — and the first $10 billion team can't be far away. But inside the owners' meetings, though, generational warfare is underway: Can A-Rod snag the Timberwolves from the iron grip of an 83-year-old billionaire? Will the Celtics make private equity sexy? And how long until every NBA game is on national TV? Pablo Torre & The Expiring Assets (aka John Skipper and David Samson with a cold) are back to appraise Gollum's ring and stare into James Dolan's all-seeing Eye of Seventh Avenue. • Previously: How the Billion-Dollar War to Own the Timberwolves Went Nuclear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmOkcQwZ-s8 • Subscribe to Nothing Personal with David Samson https://www.youtube.com/@NPDS Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you know this one friend who just comes out of bed in the morning and then doesn't come out of his grin? Who is even in front of the first coffee, shamelessly well-groomed and shines around the bed with the morning sun? Terrible, disgusting, how can you be so... Restless? Very simple. Train your sleep and become a morning person.

With the Galaxy Watch 7 or the Galaxy Ring and the Samsung Health App. How do you feel, David? I feel okay, John. Thank you.

69.102 - 74.844 David Samson

That's it? Just a flat okay, John. I'm negative, so I'm happy I'm not on antibiotics.

76.464 - 86.167 Pablo Torre

I'm just living a Petri dish. David Sampson has a cold, John, as Gay Talese once wrote. Yes. And all must bend to his will.

88.93 - 99.077 John Skipper

It's not the cold issue, guys. I believe Frank Sinatra was quite grumpy about it, and our friend David is not grumpy. Oh, there is a smile. There is a smile.

99.097 - 114.847 David Samson

No, I'm not grumpy. I have a golf ball in my throat. I'm not grumpy, and I don't like being swabbed. I don't know if you've ever been swabbed. It is extremely unpleasant, uncomfortable, and requires a pre-lysterine situation. I just don't like it.
