Today’s word of the day is ‘Rocky Mountain high’ as in Denver as in Colorado as in Nikola Jokic as in Jamal Murray as in Mike Malone as in Nuggets as in NBA Finals as in 2023 NBA champions. The Miami Heat were close to sending this to a Game 6 back in South Beach, but came up short. What a finals. What a player Nikola Jokic is. (15:45) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Oakland fans holding a reverse boycott. What is the front office doing about this? Do they care? What is even happening to Athletics to Vegas? Is that close?
