I'm going to start at the top with some thoughts about the NBA Cup, the final game, and also the state of the NBA because it's been a big topic lately. And I have some big picture thoughts about that. Chris Mannix joined us to talk about just the Jimmy Butler trade buzz in Vegas and some other NBA topics. And then really, I had him on to talk about boxing because we have a big card this weekend.
My guy Usyk is fighting Fury, the rematch. So we're going to talk about that and some of the big heavyweight fights coming up. And then last but not least, CR, Chris Ryan. We did a couple things in studio yesterday that I taped for this podcast. One is about Landman, which is my favorite TV show of the decade, just hands down. Succession really started last decade.
