Bearish or bullish brought to you by Robin Hood Lou. First question, the
NBA is switching to a 14 format for their All Star game in an attempt to improve their
product per ESPN. There's gonna be three all star teams, eight players each and the team
that wins the Rising Stars game. Are you bearish or bullish about this? I'm 100% bullish
just because the product that's been on the floor has been so putrid over the last couple
of years in terms of like the NBA All Star game, them trying something kind of helps, I
guess who knows how this is gonna work out, but it just feels like it's gonna be a little
bit more competitive, hopefully, or if it's not gonna be as competitive, they're just gonna
fully buy into the whole pickup ball aspect of it, which I'm personally a fan of, you know,
like stop trying to sell a fake product for like the last 23 years. It's always been like,
oh no, we're gonna try this year and the guys are gonna be more into it. So I, I guess people
have their own reasons to hate or to be skeptical, I guess I did, I'm bullish on it but,
you know, it's not something I'd be investing heavily into. II. I think that's a great point.
Um, I think I'm gonna be bullish as well. Uh, the All Star game, we had a couple great
seasons. Um, yeah, you know, unfortunately it was a, it took place after Kobe's, uh and
Gigi's, uh Bryant's passing, uh among others, of course. And that, that hor horrible accident,
uh uh the players did respond and were inspired by that for a couple of years and then,
you know, that that's been, um, you know, the changes that were made, um, the mile amending.
Uh I thought those were great change, uh, changes to the charity but now, you know, the,
the stock, the, the last couple ones have been so deflating, so horrible to watch that, I
think, definitely think this is a great bilo opportunity for, for the league, uh, to switch
it up. Um, try to get something more permanent and to do something different. I, I like that.
They're experimenting. I appreciate that.
