rating of the president. i don t think it s the president s responsibility to do it. the president has been clear he wants kids in school. i want my children in school. my children still at home because we are waiting for negative test so they can go back. we have frustrating for parents and frustrating for teachers and other children in the class and, of course, the kids themselves. but this is not the way to do it just to start firing people left and right in industry and we have seen what has happened when we have done that with the vaccine mandates. i just don t think that s the way to go. let s pause and take a breath and look at what is going to be beth for each of these school districts and each of these families good teachers. bret: maybe it s not that maybe it s not that tweet and not that action. but, guy, to go, to have the president go to chicago and stand by chicago mayor lori lightfoot, some people are saying maybe that is a good thing for him to do. right, for him
sixth on the all-time list. anthony towns with a career high 47 points last night. a 20-3 run by the timberwolves in the fourth quarter leaves the game tied at 104-104 in the final seconds. wiggins on him. single coverage. anthony fakes, puts up the jumper, puts it in with 2.3 remaining! but don t count out melo. he sinks the jumper with two seconds. the knicks hang on for the win. lest go to chicago. the bulls dwyane wade turning on the spin cycle to get through the laker defense and score in the second quarter. the fancy moves aren t enough. l.a. wins 96-90. and in boston, the celtics isiah thomas sinks an over the back board circus shot after drawing a foul in the fourth quarter against the pistons. unfortunately, that one doesn t count. detroit wins it 121-114. still very cool to look at. and in phoenix, the hawks

that? so i just started over. i didn t go in with a cocky attitude saying i m the best prep class basketball player in the world so i m the best nba player in the world. no, i never went with that mind-set. larry: what about the crowds? dealing with huge arenas. you had a lot of attention on high school, you were on the cover of sports illustrated, but nothing like the pro. no, nothing. but it was a dream for me. i dreamed about those days a lot, you know, being in those arenas, 17,000, 18,000, 20,000. the cheers from the home court, the boos from the away court. those were the opportunities and those were the dreams that i had. that was reality. larry: do you ever feel sad you didn t go to college? no, i never feel sad. but i do wish i could have been part of march madness. those are fun games, and those are fun times to watch them. see, if i could have skipped the whole season. larry: just played march madness. and just played march madness, i would have been all for it
