[00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:01.630] All right. So not [00:00:01.630 --> 00:00:03.370] bad, actually. That [00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:06.250] stretch was pretty [00:00:06.250 --> 00:00:08.100] much impossible to [00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:09.930] go live from in [00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:10.830] past versions. [00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:12.300] So I think I came [00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:13.690] through here, you [00:00:13.690 --> 00:00:15.270] know, last maybe a [00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:16.310] month ago and I [00:00:16.310 --> 00:00:18.000] could barely get [00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.060] anything. [00:00:19.060 --> 00:00:20.780] So we'll go through [00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:22.360] this last part here [00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:24.100] and see if we make [00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:24.630] it. [00:00:37.830 --> 00:00:38.710] Absolutely [00:00:38.710 --> 00:00:40.530] spectacular day, [00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:43.340] Southern California. [00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:46.410] Celtics won game [00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:48.520] one of their playoff [00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.550] series against the [00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:54.110] Philadelphia 76ers. [00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:56.490] Former team of [00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:58.270] Charles Barkley, [00:00:58.270 --> 00:01:00.200] who made a he's so [00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.430] funny, made a funny [00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:05.800] comment at the halftime [00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:06.590] show. [00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:08.830] They were already [00:01:08.830 --> 00:01:10.140] up close to 20 [00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:11.420] points at that at [00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:12.560] that moment, the [00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:13.390] Celtics. [00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:13.910] And he said [00:01:13.910 --> 00:01:14.720] something like, you [00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:15.740] know, they're [00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:16.730] showing a highlight. [00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:17.700] And he said, oh, [00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:18.740] you see the Celtics [00:01:18.740 --> 00:01:19.500] here just just [00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:20.390] having fun. [00:01:20.390 --> 00:01:21.750] Obviously not [00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:23.110] worried about this [00:01:23.110 --> 00:01:24.800] first round matchup. [00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:27.930] So we're excited. [00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:29.640] We're excited. [00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.780] You know, the Celtics [00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:34.560] had, you know, a [00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.770] tough situation [00:01:36.770 --> 00:01:38.100] last season when [00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:40.220] one of their stars, [00:01:40.220 --> 00:01:42.210] Jason Tatum, tore [00:01:42.210 --> 00:01:43.780] his Achilles tendon [00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:45.420] in the second round [00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:46.890] of the playoffs. [00:01:48.970 --> 00:01:50.350] And, you know, they [00:01:50.350 --> 00:01:52.210] were looking like [00:01:52.210 --> 00:01:53.500] they would they may [00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:54.520] lose that series [00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:55.970] last year to the Knicks [00:01:55.970 --> 00:01:58.230] anyway, because [00:01:58.230 --> 00:02:00.460] they were giving up [00:02:00.460 --> 00:02:01.390] leads. [00:02:01.390 --> 00:02:03.210] And I think they [00:02:03.210 --> 00:02:04.660] were down something [00:02:04.660 --> 00:02:07.210] like, you know, two [00:02:07.210 --> 00:02:07.940] to one in the [00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:09.210] series when he got [00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:09.900] hurt. [00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:11.230] And then we lost [00:02:11.230 --> 00:02:12.380] that game, went [00:02:12.380 --> 00:02:13.630] down three. [00:02:13.630 --> 00:02:14.820] Well, I think we [00:02:14.820 --> 00:02:17.360] won one more game [00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:18.800] and ended up losing [00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.090] it in six games. [00:02:20.090 --> 00:02:22.150] Yeah, six games. [00:02:22.290 --> 00:02:26.000] So the point being [00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.270] that, you know, he, [00:02:30.270 --> 00:02:35.540] Jason Tatum, he had [00:02:35.540 --> 00:02:39.300] a fairly, you know, [00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:40.860] ambitious recovery [00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:43.120] timeline that that [00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.100] he actually [00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:44.870] exceeded [00:02:44.870 --> 00:02:46.390] expectations on. [00:02:46.470 --> 00:02:47.380] So if anyone is [00:02:47.380 --> 00:02:48.480] familiar with an [00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:49.960] Achilles tendon [00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.060] tear, you know, [00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:53.100] this is the kind of [00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:54.160] thing that, you [00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:56.890] know, 20 years ago, [00:02:56.890 --> 00:02:58.560] 25 years ago, you [00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.380] might never play [00:03:00.380 --> 00:03:01.120] again. [00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.600] I mean, I mean, it's [00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:05.870] that serious. [00:03:05.870 --> 00:03:07.260] And I think Kobe [00:03:07.260 --> 00:03:10.690] Bryant may have had [00:03:10.690 --> 00:03:12.310] this injury at one [00:03:12.310 --> 00:03:13.210] point. [00:03:13.210 --> 00:03:16.090] And he was he was [00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:18.480] pretty, I guess, [00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:19.860] adventurous, a [00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:21.480] spirit of fringe [00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:23.490] about exploring, [00:03:23.490 --> 00:03:25.050] you know, new [00:03:25.050 --> 00:03:26.760] technologies or, [00:03:26.760 --> 00:03:27.840] you know, new [00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.780] medical procedures [00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:31.750] to, you know, to [00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:32.160] heal. [00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:36.290] And so, you know, [00:03:36.290 --> 00:03:38.320] the sports industry [00:03:38.320 --> 00:03:40.310] being so, you know, [00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:45.010] valuable, right? [00:03:45.010 --> 00:03:45.920] There's so much on [00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:47.030] the line with these [00:03:47.030 --> 00:03:47.570] players. [00:03:47.570 --> 00:03:49.710] So there's a lot of [00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:50.910] money that goes [00:03:50.910 --> 00:03:53.840] into their wellness, [00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:54.640] right? [00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:56.330] So there's been a [00:03:56.330 --> 00:03:57.450] lot of developments [00:03:57.450 --> 00:03:58.240] in, you know, [00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.280] medical recovery [00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.120] technology. [00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.070] And I guess, you [00:04:02.070 --> 00:04:03.380] know, I have no way [00:04:03.380 --> 00:04:04.730] of validating this [00:04:04.730 --> 00:04:05.990] story other than I [00:04:05.990 --> 00:04:06.840] read it. [00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:07.750] You know, some [00:04:07.750 --> 00:04:08.880] journalists wrote [00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:10.250] this, that when it [00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:11.270] happened last [00:04:11.270 --> 00:04:13.690] season, you know, [00:04:13.690 --> 00:04:14.990] instead of waiting, [00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:16.020] you know, in a lot [00:04:16.020 --> 00:04:17.210] of cases, they'll [00:04:17.210 --> 00:04:18.470] wait and see, oh, [00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:19.350] you know, how [00:04:19.350 --> 00:04:20.480] serious is it? [00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:21.410] Depending on how [00:04:21.410 --> 00:04:22.600] serious it is, we'll [00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:23.780] decide what to do. [00:04:23.780 --> 00:04:25.510] Well, they didn't [00:04:25.510 --> 00:04:26.650] hesitate at all. [00:04:26.650 --> 00:04:27.970] They just were very [00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:29.280] quick to determine [00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:30.480] that this was an [00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.720] extremely serious [00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:32.860] injury that [00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:34.180] required surgery [00:04:34.1
