Is the Lakers and their road trip with the victory one.

Oh, 7 99.

This, by the way, came in Atlanta.

This is LeBron James saying he sort of enjoyed this back and forth.

Miss that interaction.

I need that interaction.

We, as players need that interaction.

I don't feel like it was warned her to be kicked out.

There was a back and forth between two grown man and then with someone else, jumped into it and said their peace.

Andi kind of got blown out of proportion.

You know, it's just like sometimes on the floor, when two guys get into a scuffle, you know, or get into a little like Johnson and the rest come and try to break it up really fast, and it looks like it's bigger than what it really is.

That's what it pretty much was tonight.

But the difference were on the court, and we're not having any alcoholic beverages.

Eso it might have asked my beverages on the side, so that could have made them feel a little tougher than what they really are.

I would say I didn't realize that you have those courtside mojitos e I didn't realize that was they were courtside because came courtside games with the fans in there, several roles back.

They kind of close right there.

No, I didn't realize that.

Look, they're not actually when LeBron, this second time this has happened happened in Cleveland with an executive that was sitting courtside.

Ah, lot of these states are allowing, you know, fans to sit courtside.

And here's what I would say they got removed because they removed their mask.

But I love the fact that can fans were actually able to engage in trash talk.

And I know LeBron James feels the same way.

This is their chance to actually take their competitive thoughts to a different level and allows players to interact with them, which is what we all want.

That's what we're missing from live sports and having fans in there.

That's cool.

But I don't need them that close to me.

Mhm.

What do you mean?

You on the right?

Now, man, go up a few rolls, dog, go up a few rolls and you could scream and yell all you want to close what they did in Miami.

They're having dogs that actually smelling the scent of co vid, whether you believe that or not, be interesting to see what the science says about that.

But they're going through all these different measures to have fans back in arena.

I like having fans back in arena.

I think it is great to have fans back in Arena, but I don't need you sit in courtside, talk no, go up a little higher.

Yeah, and bottom line.

This is a headache for the N B A.

If 3000 fans getting into the building is not worth this sort of interaction for LeBron and the negative images the league is going to get if you're gonna put 20,000, let's be honest.

The Hawks don't draw a lot of fans, but when somebody like LeBron comes to town, Atlanta's a weird city.

It's a pro sports city that's more of a college sports city.

But when LeBron or Michael would come to town, the place would fill up.

So the Hawks generally don't feel they're building anyway.

But to me, if you're allowing a handful of people inside the building and the trade off is having this discussion this morning.

It's not worth it for the MBA.
