00:00Dumb question, but do you have any scouting reports or any feedback on who the top chess players in the NBA are for your tournament?

00:06Yeah, of course. I mean, we know some guys, right? Jaylen Brown, Luka, even I think Cam Johnson. I think these guys play.

00:13Are you going to be able to get that tournament going?

00:18Of course, if it's something we take seriously, of course. It's not hard to make.

00:25Would you like to see something like that in the All-Star game?

00:27That would be fun. That would be fun, for sure. I'll be in.

00:32I hear Sean Elliott's pretty good at chess, too.

00:34Yeah, he just provoked me in a duel, so we're going to have to settle this.
