Now we've got Jess Smith who's the president of the Golden State Valkyries joining us here on Yahoo Finance, Jess.I mean, I imagine there's like a gant chart of all the things that need to be done between now and May 2025. So it's, it's certainly a nod to the incredible Golden State warriors and, and being a part of that organization as well.
Like it's, it's no end in sight when you think of just exciting talent funneling into this league to your point to complement the incredible credible veterans here.

So right now, you know, it's actually working, I think in everyone's favor for the NCAA, the WMB A to continue to see and harness that star power.
We have to prove that ro I but our value set and what we're telling society with that impact is certainly a big piece of that.Of course, we gotta, we gotta finish out this great W NBA season that is going on.
