00:00Yes, I've been to two Olympics and the reason I liked the World Cup better is because I
00:09got assigned to cover boxing in both the Olympics, so I barely got to see anything else.
00:13I treasure my experience at Barcelona, Atlanta, but it wasn't the same as being at the Olympics
00:20really.
00:21So the World Cup is, I went to see soccer and I got to see soccer.
00:24So that was the winner in that debate, but I did sit to see the United States play Australia
00:31and I have grave concerns about Joel Embiid's fitness to help the United States in this
00:38tournament.
00:39He does not look good.
00:40He does not look sharp.
00:41Maybe having another three, four exhibition games in Alexis time gets him ready to go,
00:48but he doesn't look like he's in any kind of basketball shape to help the United States
00:51in what's an obviously competitive tournament.
00:54Hey, Jock Landale handed him his jock today.
00:57Jock Landale, really fine college player, good solid guy to have around on your team,
01:03but not exactly a Wilt Chamberlain, right?
