Yes, part State Farm will be their exact exactly as you as you know what Chris, Paul and everything else and Jake.

But it's a one day affair.

I understand it.

Is this a good look bad look and I get the money part.

They wanna They wanna obviously use some of the money towards Kobe.

Really?

If they want to bring the awareness, they wanna put some money into the HBCU and all that stuff.

But is this a good look?

I just, you know, these air, one of the things where it's public sentiment would say Yes, because it is for the greater good of where the money is going, and I'm all for that.

I just think you could go about doing that in a variety of different ways other than having a one day event.

And I think having a one day event, you still put a lot of people in jeopardy, right?

Depending upon who they're around.

Your also interesting.

A lot of adults who have a lot of money to be responsible.

And, you know, the old line that Charles Barkley used to say right like, Well, I'm not your kids role model You is apparently to be the role model.

All I'm saying is just because athletes have all the money in the world and they're super successful does not always mean that they're going to do the right and responsible thing.

So some of these guys, you know what what's responsible for some of these guys may not be responsible.

Others who might have families other guys might be single guys may choose to live lives differently.

I think it just puts everybody in a really weird spot.

If you do see somebody living lives differently due to the repercussions that can come along with that due to where that could take the lead down the line, if you do have an outbreak, I think it's, uh, going.

I was gonna I was gonna say, and if you think about it's a one day affair.

But if you're bringing all these players together from other teams, doesn't have to be all right.

Well, we're doing it in one day, but you're gonna have to spend five days quarantining or separation.

Whatever it is, it's not like I mean, you remember the Vegas All Star game, right?

I mean, that was the e that was That was the wild, Wild West.

I mean, everybody remembers that that that that one, you can't have that, But it's Atlanta and Bar and I both know the wings.

They're really good.

They're really good in Atlanta.

It's gonna be a weird thing.

You're gonna tell stars come play in this game.

But what?

We're just gonna show up in parachute in one day?

Aren't they gonna have to quarantine?

The players are something what her calls will be there, it Z.

Like I said, it's just seems to me like it's a very forced event that might not be necessary.

E mean, who watches the All Star game to begin with?

E.

I watched it.

I know.

I watched the slam dunk e content.

Yeah, three points.

But, like, I'm not like, Oh, I'm really intrigued.

Watch the All Star Game, especially when I know that dudes aren't really playing hard anyway.

And why would you play hard?

That's supposed to be your vacation during a pandemic year, which is gonna be a shortened season.

Guys aren't trying to get hurt, so you know, it's in the day.

Look, I'm not Adam Silver.

I'm not running a multibillion dollar company.

I'm sure they're deeper, deeper layers to this.

And you know, I'm sure you have sponsorship requirements that probably need something like this and have a TV partner and TNT and Turner that you need to make sure that relationship is whole and healthy should have bigger things.

But now help me look at it, just from, you know, 30,000 ft perspective.

I would pass on one day event.

Is it crazy not to do All Star weekend or not having All Star break this year, considering everything that we went through last year, considering the break that that certain teams had at 78 month layoff, that they haven't played.

I know for guys, you know, you could make cases for LeBron James and company like they could take breaks throughout the course of the season.

Um, you know, there's always those nights that you could have a guy like a D rest LeBron rest.

I know it's something that is built into how guys typically approached season.

But I'd much rather have guys at home in their facilities, even if it's a light practices come in and sit in Jacuzzi mandatory team, you know, team meeting to that regard.

I much rather have things like that and saying Here are five or six days where everybody else go off and be on your own.

You know, that could be going to other countries and all these different things.

That's how guys think they want to get away.
