Because, I mean, you lived here for 11 years and I guarantee you, as great as everybody was, they still thought of you as a Columbus, Ohio guy. We sponsored Brook, the Lopez twins and you have Brook on your team, another great kid. Step one was complete. Its been talked about the whole Giannis effect. And I think of it, Michael, to answer the second part, it's like we thought we were woke.

All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. John: Talk about and want you to share a couple of thoughts about Warren Buffett and that whole deal.

And probably about 15 years ago, Mark Lazari was looking to explore buying teams and they were in a parent conference, and my brother just said to him, Hey, my twin brothers over at Madison Square Garden he runs the marketing there he understands the P&L you probably get a kick out of him coming with you and giving you an opinion on what that was. Make a long story short, we probably spent the next 10 years having the most incredible adventures of going to do due diligence on teams that he was prospecting to buy. There's no way that the reverence, the likeability and kind of the coolness of the Milwaukee can't be a team and a city that the whole world cheers for in such a big way. And so, talk about that and your leadership style, generosity and how important it is to give back. I answer that by saying like we were successful because at the time the Brooklyn Nets, the Orlando Magic, and a bunch of other teams were selfless with their help with us on how to have best practices on how to build an arena and how to build an infrastructure on how to form.

My favorite part of coming to Milwaukee is going into your stash of gear and getting the hoodies and the gear. So, these guys are thrown into a world where they're responsible for everything, they assume they know everything, and what their experience is. And the Milwaukee Bucks players were the catalyst for that to happen in a big way. Peter Feigin: And I think it's all how you how you go at it. Talk about that nuance because like you were saying, from the outside in, you could say all the players have it made. Peter: Well, I always default to the Cluckery. You miss throwing that pass. "He plays with the Bucks 95 percent of the time. In the face of unprecedented circumstances . Peter: Married. Peter: We didnt finish the championship till mid-July, which meant like we didnt have long to get the rings included. The future for the Bucks, championship, championship, championship, and obviously getting fans back at the games. Thats. But no matter how skilled the player, new members are included on a probationary basis. And theyve got it on. He notes that with the Bucks also opening a G League team calledthe Wisconsin Herdthis past fall, there was internal debate about making the investment, but Edens was a notable force moving the decision forward.

Peter Feigin: And I'm digging into the business, and I had no desire to run it or to move to Milwaukee. Michael Red: Were you always a risk taker or was that cultivated in your household or where did that risk taking ability come from? We got here and kind of the first job was to look for a site and the second job was to really get public backing to build an arena, to demolish the Bradley Center and build a new arena, which were monumental big things to happen. Off the court it is best practice. Peter: to anybody I thought was of great skill and value for selfish reasons to feel good. That's right. And we'll get to social injustice in a bit. Feigin can do all the PR he wants, but the most effective pitch to get fans into the new arena is out of his hands.

Because are they getting too sophisticated too early in terms of their value enterprise? The one thing about you that I've seen over the years is that you keep the culture in a funny mood, right?

Just so I get a little. By form, I think your strength of your network is as strong and as smart as you can possibly be.

Peter: So my ring sits in my underwear drawer in our house which is like, great and its got readily accessibleI mean its huge.
