Summary
The Knicks pulled off an historic comeback in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, and it isn’t the only sport riding the wave of renewed fan enthusiasm. Bruin Capital CEO George Pyne explains why sports viewership is booming, for the NBA as well as the NHL, MLB, and Golf. Former CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler led the agency when Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act. Today, he argues that Congress did not intend to set the CFTC up as sole regulator of sports betting. Plus, President Trump issues a warning to Iran, and CNBC's Leslie Picker breaks down what investors should know ahead of the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO.
