In this episode, I chat with Dieter Kurtenbach. First, we discuss the G League's initiative to pay high school prospects to turn pro. Why I like the idea of it, but am a bit skeptical going forward. 
 Second, we chat about The Last Dance, and how great it is while also not bringing anything new to the table. 
 Finally, we chat about the NFL Draft for a while, and Dieter yells about SPARQ scores.
