    Coming up, we got a mock draft. I'm gonna talk through the entire first round of the 2026 NBA draft with my latest mock draft, which is based on all the latest intel around the NBA. We talk a little bit about the Giannis stuff in there as well. Look ahead to Saturday night, Knicks-Spurs, and if you do want a podcast on Saturday night, you're in luck because Tom Haberstroh and I are going live Saturday night right after game five. We'll be live on YouTube, and the audio version will be posted immediately afterwards. And by the way, if you are an audio listener, on Spotify, we are so close to 1,000 reviews. So I'd love to hit 1,000 before the NBA draft. That's our goal. Please give us a five-star review on Spotify if you haven't done so already. It does help out the show a lot, and let's hit our goal together. Have a good one, everybody. Talk to you on Saturday night, and here's the mock draft. It's the best time of the year in the NBA right now with the conference finals, then the finals, then the draft, then Summer League. And on game time, you get the advantage as a fan. It's the hack for unlocking amazing tickets in just a few taps. It's incredibly easy to use, and the game time guarantee means you can trust you'll get 100% authentic tickets to no matter the event that you're trying to go to. Plus, fees are always included, so you get to see what you pay. I'm very thankful to get credentials to these events in the basketball world, so I will be using the Game Time app instead for my summer concerts
