Today's the day! We're a few hours away from things starting properly, but today is media day, and the NBA is officially back. After this, we'll get training camp: we're only a couple of weeks away from pre-season, and there's just under a month of waiting before the regular season kicks off again and we can get to watching the new and exciting Pelicans.
Media day brings a bunch of things that are exciting to fans. Firstly, we're going to get official pictures: so we'll finally see Zion suited up in a Pelicans uniform with Jrue, Favors, and the ex-Lakers.
The most exciting thing though, I would think, has to be the interviews. Many players will get interviewed today, at least a little bit, and I'll be doing my best to keep the thread updated with it. When I can catch an interview live, I'll do a rough on-the-spot transcription, and I'll keep the embedded tweets coming to supply anything that I miss myself.
Obviously we're going to hear from Zion, obviously we're going to hear from Jrue, obviously we're going to hear from Griff. I'm excited for all of that, to hear what they're going to say and how they're going to present the team this year. But what's also super interesting to me is hearing from some of the people who haven't talked much during the offseason: are we going to hear much from Favors? What about Ingram, who has spent most of the summer in silence? Maybe we won't, but it'll be interesting to keep up with.
In any case, it's finally media day! Gonna get a lot to talk about.
It’s #Pelicans media day!
