  Speaker 1: So the Lebron Sweet Stakes update log lots of updates, well,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: at least from the Miami Heat side, because somebody found
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: out that the Miami Heat posted a link to a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: scheduled live stream titled Lebron James Introductory Press Conference, followed
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: by the date July twenty seven, to its YouTube channel. Now,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the team spokesperson described it as a mistake. They told
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: ESPN's sham Shane on Tuesday the social media department was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: preparing for the possibility of James signing and mistakenly posted
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the link to the team's YouTube page. The post was
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: later deleted. There is no validity to it right now.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: According to Anthony chang Over on x it was just
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a social media department flub. I can't imagine how badly
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: someone got yelled at over there with the Heat for
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: doing this, unless it's a pat riley up to something
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: play and they're just breadcrumbing it out. I do think
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it's just one of those things that looks very ominous
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and could end up being nothing but as we all
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: kind of stand around and wait for Lebron's decision and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it as the time goes on, it does seem to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: get weirder and weirder, because you know, Lebron is just
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a very calculated person, an intentional person, as he should be.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It's how he's handled his entire career. So I have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a hard time believing that he doesn't really have a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: good understanding of what he's going to do. I know
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that Rich Paul is saying that this is a Lebron
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: decision that is just going to be made on happiness.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I would like to believe that, but I do think
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Lebron is going to be a little more intentional than
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: just happiness. When decide where to go. He is going
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to consider all the options, and I think he's been
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: considering them for a while, so I do think he
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: knows where he's going. It is going to be fascinating
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to see how he does end up announcing it with
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: all this build up, but this seems like a whole
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: lot of nothing unless he ends up coming and then
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it will have been just a mistake by the social
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: media department. So switching over to the w the rich
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: get richer The Minnesota Links already have the best record
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in the league, and on Wednesday night, they got back
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Queen Fee the FISA. Collier made her season debut with
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a smooth twenty four points ten rebounds in twenty two
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: minutes as Minnesota rolled Storm for their twenty second win
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of the season and Collier's absence, the Links have been
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: led by the amazing Olivia Miles, Rookie Sensation, Natasha Howard,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Courtney Williams, and Kaylen McBride, the first of three which
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: were named All Stars. Fee said, I felt like a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: kid in a candy store. I feel like I just
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: got my feet under me a little bit. Obviously, it's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just a year of Pennsyva excitement. I think there's a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: little bit of settling in, but my teammates have always
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: had me, really really incredible player to get back Defensive
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Player of the Year in IT twenty twenty four, All
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: WNBA First Team twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, also
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Our Game MVP twenty five, Commissioner's Cup MVP twenty four,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Gold Medalists, EuroLeague Champion, Connecticut Superstar. She's an incredible, incredible
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: player and it was a huge loss to have her
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: out for injury, but getting her back kind of feels
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: like the Links now will really take a stranglehold over
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the Woman. They already have the best record in the league.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: They have been playing amazing all season, Olivia Miles has
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: looked nothing like a rookie, and now to get her back,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to get feedback feels like, you know, it just feels
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like the icing on the cake for them. And Olivia
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Miles posted about the FISA being back and posted some
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: highlights of her really incredible return with twenty four points
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and ten rebounds in twenty two minutes. So that's the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Links for you doing an incredible, incredible job this season.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And now let's combine the two top basketball leagues and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: talk little two K. The twenty twenty seven covers dropped,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: They're pretty great. I think I agree with all of these.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Victor Woman Yama is on the standard edition, Caitlyn Clark
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is on the Deluxe Edition, and the Ultra addition goes
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to Derek Rose on The Bulls on X onebe Quote tweeted,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Caitlyn hasn't said anything yet. I have not been a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: gamer since I was a child, but obviously the two
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: K and Madden releases are still interesting and still have
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a cultural significance and definitely have a lot of politics,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and people if they don't agree with who's on there
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: are going to discuss it, and fans are going to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: discuss it. So just for reference, the twenty twenty six
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: covers Shay Gildess, Alexander, Angel, Reese, Carmelo Anthony on the Knicks,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and then twenty twenty five covers Jason Tatum, Asia Wilson
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and Raptors Vince Carter. This feels right to me, specifically
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: when you are talking about Victor and Caitlin. Victor really
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: stepped into his stardom this season very quickly turned into
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a villain, but he did have his moments and it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: really felt like he has arrived as one of the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: young faces of the league. And Caitlin Clark was you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: obviously the correct choice Angel last year and Asia who
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is the face of the WNBA the year before. So
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Caitlin's having a great season, a controversial season of course,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but still a great season and actually has been having
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: some incredible games recently as well. So I like this
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: choice for the covers. And you know, when it comes
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to Derek Rose, obviously they're going down through some of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the players that have had incredible careers and moments with
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: particular teams, so I like these. Let me know if
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you disagree with their choices for the two K covers.
• 6:08
