1:05Now PlayingThe NBA just finished a blazing, record-smashing season with around 170 million Americans tuning in across ABC, ESPN, Prime, Peacock, NBC and NBA platforms, the league’s biggest reach in nearly a quarter century and a massive jump over last year, and in this episode we connect that surge in hoops fandom to a joyful weekend on the diamond as I recap my 8U Padres Little League squad dropping 17 runs on 31 hits with no errors while I hilariously “dominated” the mound with a gloriously awful 25 ERA, celebrating why kids’ sports, volunteer coaches, umpires and parents keep local communities alive and remind us that whether it’s the NBA or coach-pitch baseball, it’s all about fun, effort and growing the next generation of athletes and fans.
