Ryan, our nation’s preeminent sports media critic, is here to discuss reports that NBC wishes to offer the NBA a tremendous amount of money. What does this mean, other than that Adam Silver is our lord and savior?

Topics…

  • Can Warner Bros. Discovery (TNT) possibly come up with a competing offer?

  • What’s with WBD CEO David Zaslav sitting at Knicks-Sixers with Goldman Sachs tycoon Lloyd Blankfein?

  • Do Barkley and the other TNT guys join NBC in this scenario?

  • Irony of WBD needing the NBA most, but being most likely to be forced out

  • Oddness of young Thunder players doing that “What a pro wants” ad

  • Which TNT halftime guy is least essential?

  • NBA playoff ratings are all over the map. New Nielsen system or something else?

  • That traditional space at end of pod where we talk Israel/Gaza campus protests

  • Are these protests being received by the public in a totally different way had Elon not bought Twitter?
