00:00James Dolan's not happy with the NBA's revenue sharing policies.

00:06Of course, they've got a several billion dollar television deal that they just finalized.

00:12And I don't think James is happy because he has to split that money with the owners in

00:17places like Sacramento and Orlando and places like that, that don't have anywhere near the

00:24same fanfare and television ratings as teams like his and the Lakers, etc.

00:29I agree with him.

00:31I think he's right that it's a copycat.

00:35This silver guy wants to be the NFL.

00:38That's why he does all these things like this.

00:42This deal is very similar to the NFL deals and the revenue sharing everybody gets.

00:48Like you said, one size fits all, whereas you know what they do in New York and Boston

00:55and Philly and what markets like Sacramento do and San Antonio do, even if they have

01:03Wembanyama, what they do in Phoenix, I'm sorry, what they do in Cleveland, what they do in

01:11Orlando.

01:12I could go on and on.

01:13I don't see why it makes sense that they all get the same amount.

01:18I agree with him.

01:19I think they should get more.

01:20They make more money for the league.

01:22They deserve more money.

01:23They shouldn't be giving everyone else out the same amount of money as those heavyweights.

01:28It's as simple as that.

01:29People argue all the time with us on this show and on social media about my affinity

01:34for large markets.

01:36Well, that's because I'm right.

01:39Large markets are all that matter.

01:41That's all that matters.
