## Resource

A day removed from the NBA Emirates Cup Final, Barry, Blandy, and Christian rehash the merits of the in-season tournament and the value of winning the cup. They discuss Brunson’s class, Clarkson’s glimmer, and Kolek’s balls. They also weigh in on the ridiculous banner controversy, and Blandy is about to be in cookie heaven.
