Coming up, doing my full first round mock draft, exploring what happens if Darren Peterson goes first to the Wizards. But first, bringing on Tom Haversher to talk about everything going on around the NBA. Giannis, LeBron, Trae Young, Knicks, and a lot else. That's coming up right now with me and Tom. 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.
