Oh,
3:51
for sure.
3:51
I mean, I had been with Big Play since it was a blog.
3:56
Before Big Play even had video shows, I was blogging about the Browns on bigplay.com. And then I kind of helped Dave with the transition to make it a video podcast network.
4:09
We were one show for a really long time.
4:11
We were a Big Play reflog show.
4:14
And then once we got on TV, the TV network was like, hey, nobody really knows Big Play.

12 MINS LATER

16:44
Because that's something Cleveland, we weren't used to seeing.
6:20
Like, it, it, it, it adds a completely different element to this.
6:23
Well, it's the elephant in the room, and I've been pounding the drum for LeBron to come back since last summer, and it feels like the sun on the island that I've been standing on is finally starting to come out a little bit, because they're saying that they've gotta make changes.
6:35
Look at Dan Gilbert's tweet the end of the game four, you know, where, where he knows that this is a championship caliber team that's probably the fourth best of the four teams that were remaining i, in the NBA conference finals.
6:48
So I, I do think that that's the elephant in the room, 'cause, like, the way that Donovan answered the question the end of the Knicks game, well, he didn't say anything, but just his body language in that answer, he was smiling in- ear to ear.
7:00
And then the, the quick decision to bring back Kenny Atkinson.
7:03
And you guys are talking about some sort of change, but it sounds like Mobley's gonna be back, 'cause everything that you invested and developed into him.
7:10
It sounds like the backcourt's gonna be back, because you think you could win a championship with Donovan.
7:54
You have much fewer, uh, people who are willing to really put up for LeBron James that he would agree to, as opposed to Giannis, who I understand doesn't have a n- uh, doesn't have a no-trade clause, but also would have to sign a contract long-term with whatever team that, that they would m- be moving him to.
