Few Minute Follow-Up - NBA Draft, F1 and More

The NBA Draft moves fast, and the story changes even faster. We jump on a quick follow-up right after day one to talk about how many picks landed exactly where we expected, plus the trade chatter that instantly reshapes the board. A Knicks-to-Lakers deal grabs our attention because it hints at bigger front-office plans, and we lay out what we’re watching as day two unfolds and more details come out. 

Then we widen the lens to the rest of the sports week, including a Formula 1 preview for Austria. After Barcelona, the big question is whether Lewis Hamilton can stack wins, or whether a new name like Kimi Antonelli or another contender steals the spotlight. If you like F1 race predictions, driver storylines, and the strategy questions that decide Sundays, this section is for you. 

We also get real about the cost of being a fan. USA vs Turkey ticket prices lead to a blunt conversation about when live sports stopped being something average people can afford, especially once you add transportation and parking. We end on a personal note about growing up with occasional union tickets to Mets games and how those experiences create lifelong memories and lifelong fans.

Quick Follow-Up And Draft Night

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hello, everyone, and this is Steve from Sports Live with Steve and Justin with our few-minute follow-up. Today is Wednesday, June 24th, and we just came off the first day of the NBA draft.

Predictions Hit And Knicks Trade

SPEAKER_00 0:17

We saw most of the players go exactly as we predicted from our show, as well as we did see a trade from the Knicks to the Lakers, which is an interesting flow. We will know more about that as the week progresses. Today is day two. We will speak more about that at our show. We're going to have the rabbi back on Monday, and we're going to talk more about the NBA and the draft and the ramifications for all these teams.

F1 Austria Preview And Big Names

SPEAKER_00 0:44

Also, I wanted to just say that we're looking forward. We're going to have more on F1 this weekend because to see if Hamlin, Hamilton can repeat his win uh at Barcelona in Austria. We look forward to that race. Uh will it be Kimi Antonelli or will it be Lewis Hamilton or will it be someone else? We will see. And we'll have that for you too on Monday.

USA Vs Turkey Ticket Shock

SPEAKER_00 1:09

Also, tomorrow, which is the 25th, uh, Thursday, the 25th at 10 p.m., you're gonna have USA in the World Cup. They are playing Turkey. They are playing Turkey, and I'm cracking up because I see tickets as low as twelve hundred and six dollars. Well, you couldn't get me to go to a soccer game for twelve hundred and six dollars. I'm not sure. There's a lot of games I would go to for twelve hundred and six dollars, but you know, it's funny because I was talking to somebody who did go to the Meadowlands to see uh, I don't know what team was going on that night. But rather than taking transportation, which cost over $400 to get there, he was able to get a parking spot somewhere near the stadium for $250.

Is High Cost Killing Sports

SPEAKER_00 2:08

I mean, when did sports become something that average people can no longer attend? And if they continue to do this, it will be the death of sports as we know it. I don't know what to say. I I when I was a kid we couldn't afford to go anywhere. And my father was in a union and the he worked in a factory, and the union would give us tickets every once in a while. And me and my uncle, who also worked in the factory, and my cousin would go to the go to Met

Free Mets Tickets And Lasting Memories

games. We couldn't get Yankee games, but we were able to get Met games for free because they used to give them away. And and it was a great experience, and I remember to these days the pitchers and players I saw, and this is long before, as they said in the famous book, the Mets lost last place. But they weren't the greatest team, but they had some amazing players. I saw Nolan Ryan pitch, I saw uh Tom Seaver, Jerry Kuzman. So it was back in a day when there were some great players coming their way because they were in last place.
