But boy, was I wrong.

Its not just sitting around and talkingtheres real work involved.

Hes just out there casually chopping it up with other hoopers.

I cant help but find it hilarious.

Its as if he was saying, Man, the podcast is just too much.

I need to refocus on my game.

Its a wild thought.

It makes me think about how much the NBA has changed over the years.

Take Dennis Rodman, for example.

And the best part?

Rodman wasnt the only one.

They showed up, balled out, and let the rest take care of itself.

Thats not to say todays players dont work hard, but the league has undeniably shifted.

I get ittimes change, and athletes today are more business-minded.

But sometimes, I miss the old-school mentality.

The NBA used to feel a little more raw, a little more unpredictable.

Maybe Im just nostalgic for an era I never lived through, but stillthis whole situation is comedy.
