One O one 97 Jalen Brunson came through clutch. He had 27 points. Julius Randle, he was right there with him 19 points and Josh Hart had 17 just three players in double figures for New York so they had to do it defensively, especially because it was Donovan Mitchell's night on the floor. He had 38, but still it was in a losing effort, three calves also scored in double figures. It was the battle of the windex though that goes to New York. That was your difference is New York out rebounds Cleveland 51 to 38 in this one. They also forced 17 turnovers game two is Tuesday night. Nancy word is lucky they took on the big man Joel embiid who's an MVP candidate, one of three in Philadelphia and his 76ers and embiid went 11 for 11 at the line, enough said, you know what was going to be a long night as a 6 or so outscored the Nats in every quarter nearly doubled them up from deep as well.

The pandemic forcing multitudes of people to work in the ten school from home turned the PC business into one of the few boom industries of 2020, but after three years of fuel from COVID, the boon's gone bust. It's really a demand story at this point. Ryan wreath, senior vice president with industry researcher IDC, tells Bloomberg supply glitches, got corrected just in time for many of us to say, we're all set with our machines at this point. The way we're looking at the entire market is we're basically at a correctional standpoint and realistically, the correction is going to be probably most of this year. IDC says global PC shipments fell to their lowest since early 2019 the first three months of this year, down 29% from last year's first quarter. Among reasons, economic worry. Consumers, companies and education institutions are sort of holding on to their press strings a little bit tighter than they would. And it makes sense. What also makes sense wreath says is that so many of us upgraded our PCs only two to three years ago that they still have two to three years or more to go. Andrew O'Day, Bloomberg radio.

And Ron DeSantis has found a way to basically use the word woke in place of black, so when he says woke policies, he means policies that benefit black people. So his office literally fought to keep important parts of black history being taught in the AP African American studies course. He is banning books that are basic black history books.

"With 13 time MLB all star and Hall of Famer Ken griffey junior Now unfortunately I could not be a part of this interview And I'm going to do a little bit about how the sausage is made and why I was supposed to be part of it but this interview was taped on Tuesday And as we all know that's the exact same day when all of a sudden a gunman on a Brooklyn subway started shooting up the train and people injured thank God right now nobody has died but all of a sudden as a news guy it was all hands on deck and I was part of that because obviously I wanted to talk about Jackie Robinson day with Ken griffey junior so that's why I couldn't be part of that interview But Lindsey I just want to know how was it speaking with one of the best hitters of all time This really was a great interview It started off very slowly He was very measured in everything he was talking about sometimes I didn't know if he had finished his comments and Scarlett and I were ready to jump in with the next question and then he would continue And he really talked about a myriad of subjects which really were fascinating about him playing in homering in the same game with his dad back in 1990 The opportunities that he had in his dad had because of Jackie Robinson He'd be one of the people we know ever since his wife you could go back in time name four or 5 professional athletes you'd like to speak with Jackie Robinson is always at the top of my list One of the most important things since this weekend is the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking in to baseball breaking the color barrier How all 30 Major League Baseball teams came to all wear the number 42 on April 15th and right at the heart of it and the genesis of it was Ken griffey junior Jackie such a big part of our family's history as far as what he did was allowing us to go out there and play and have the freedom to go out there and play to make choices He didn't do what he did who's going to be the next Jackie Robinson We don't know or if it ever happened But thank God that he did it And you know I was able to go out there and play but I call commissioner ceiling and have them because I wear 42 and he said hey give me a minute I'm going to call you back And he called Rachel and then coming back the next day He said do you mind if everybody wears and I was like absolutely not The more the merrier in O 7 that's when it started and it's been that way ever since and it's unbelievable to see I look at it as something that I wanted to be selfish and do but it turned into something much greater than I anticipated Hey Ken this is Mike lynch up in Boston Loved it when you came to town with Seattle Your dad tortured us in the 75 World Series It's great to great to actually have a chance to talk to you When the labor negotiations in the lockout was going on it got pushed into the first week in February How much of a faculty do you think that if we don't settle this thing we're going to be locked out during Jack the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier do you think that at any push on both sides to get it done by so that players could be on the field by April 15th I think that helps because you definitely didn't want to go into the first celebration of the year in a lockout And I think both sides were motivated to get something done and thank God that they did So we don't have to talk about it and we're going to be playing baseball for quite a few years after this I try to stay out of labor and negotiations One of the things that I said is not being a player is that hey I just want to celebrate the guys that allowed me to go out there and play freely as I did And Jackie was a big part of it Growing up You know the conversations that dinner table of certain things that he went through that I couldn't imagine going through So those were some of the difficult conversations as a pre teen that you learn about what that man has gone through I liked what you said earlier about how without Jackie there you couldn't have played baseball How he paved the way for black players Looking at the stats now in the 1970s black baseball players made up about a 5th 20% of the MLB That number has now dropped to about 8% today The Mariners actually have the most black players on their team as of 2020 which was about ten players Why do you think this is Why do you think the number of black players of the proportion of black players is declining in MLB I think that you look at other sports the celebration being able to be unique where baseball if you're unique you're a problem And I think that has to go away I look at certain ballplayers because of how they play the game not because the color of their skin We have to get away from that Blackball players Latin ball players we like to celebrate and it's not that we are trying to show somebody up But it's just a celebration what we've done And I think the public has to understand that there is a difference between showing being enthusiastic and degrading your opponent We who have played the game we understand the difference We understand the magnitude of the situation when you can and can't do something You're down by 15 runs and you hit a home run and you walk it off that's not the time that you do something like that But if a game winner or something like that then that's fine We have to teach the next generation of ball players how to play the game So let me understand correctly the inability to express yourself on the field is preventing or keeping black players from rising in the ranks of MLB or even entering the sport No No I think you look at football you get drafted You're in the NFL You look at basketball you get drafted you're in the NBA You look at baseball you get drafted where do you go The minor leagues And baseball is an expensive sport Basketball is in the basketball football union football baseball you get travel ball you got to be seen you know high school baseball isn't really that popular more of your summer ball travel team but in football you play every Friday and somebody's going to come see you Basketball you have a couple of tournaments during the course of the year Somebody is going to be seen They'll be 300 coaches at a basketball tournament You're going to give a scholarship You look at scholarship problems when it is 11.7% for baseball That's something scholarship they offer but football and basketball are full rides So there's a number of factors that go on on why baseball isn't as popular But being able to express yourself and celebrate is in there also Up next on the show stay tuned for more of our conversation with MLB Hall of Famer.

"Speak with 13 time MLB all star and Hall of Famer Ken griffey junior Now unfortunately I could not be a part of this interview And I'm going to do a little bit about how the sausage is made and why I was supposed to be part of it but this interview was taped on Tuesday And as we all know that's the exact same day when all of a sudden a gunman on a Brooklyn subway started shooting up the train and people injured thank God right now nobody has died but all of a sudden as a news guy it was all hands on deck and I was part of that because obviously I wanted to talk about Jackie Robinson day with Ken griffey junior so that's why I couldn't be part of that interview But lynchi I just want to know how was it speaking with one of the best hitters of all time This really was a great interview It started off very slowly He was very measured in everything he was talking about sometimes I didn't know if he had finished his comments and Scarlett and I were ready to jump in with the next question and then he would continue And he really talked about a myriad of subjects which really were fascinating about him playing in homering in the same game with his dad back in 1990 The opportunities that he had in his dad had because of Jackie Robinson He'd be one of the people we know evidence his wife you could go back in time name four or 5 professional athletes you'd like to speak with Jackie Robinson is always at the top of my list One of the most important things since this weekend is the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking in to baseball breaking the color barrier How all 30 Major League Baseball teams came to all wear the number 42 on April 15th and right at the heart of it and the genesis of it was Ken griffey junior Jackie such a big part of our family history as far as what he did was allowing us to go out there and play and have the freedom to go out there and play to make choices He didn't do what he did who's going to be the next Jackie Robinson We don't know or if it ever happened But thank God that he did it And you know I was able to go out there and play But I call commissioner sali can have some could I wear 42 and he said hey give me a minute I'm going to call you back And he called Rachel and then coming back the next day He said do you mind if everybody went and I was like absolutely not The more the merrier in O 7 that's when it started and it's been that way ever since and it's unbelievable to see I look at it as something that I wanted to be selfish and do but it turned into something much greater than I anticipated Hey Ken this is Mike lynch up in Boston Loved it when you came to town with Seattle Your dad tortured us in the 75 World Series It's great to great to actually have a chance to talk to you When the labor negotiations and the lockout was going on it got pushed into the first week in February How much of a faculty do you think that if we don't settle this thing we're going to be locked out during Jack the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier do you think that at any push on both sides to get it done by so the players could be on the field by April 15th I think that helps because you definitely didn't want to go into the first celebration of the year in a lockout And I think both sides were motivated to get something done and thank God that they did So we don't have to talk about it and we're going to be playing baseball for quite a few years after this I try to stay out of labor and negotiations one of the things that I said is not being a player is that hey I just want to celebrate the guys that allowed me to go out there and play freely as I did And Jackie was a big part of it Growing up The conversations that dinner table of certain things that he went through that I couldn't imagine going through So those were some of the difficult conversations as a preteen that you learn about what that man has gone through I liked what you said earlier about how without Jackie there you couldn't have played baseball How he paved the way for black players Looking at the stats now in the 1970s black baseball players made up about a 5th 20% of the MLB That number has now dropped to about 8% today The Mariners actually have the most black players on their team as of 2020 which was about ten players Why do you think this is Why do you think the number of black players of the proportion of black players is declining in MLB I think that you look at other sports the celebration being able to be unique We're in baseball If you're unique you're a problem And I think that has to go away I look at certain ballplayers because of how they play the game not because the color of their skin We have to get away from that Blackball players Latin ball players We like to celebrate and it's not that we are trying to show somebody up But it's just a celebration what we've done And I think the public has to understand that there is a difference between showing being enthusiastic and the great your opponent We who have played the game we understand the difference We understand the magnitude of the situation when you can and can't do something You're down by 15 runs and you hit a home run and you walk it off that's not the time that you do something like that But if a game winner or something like that then that's fine We have to teach the next generation of ball players how to play the game So let me understand correctly the inability to express yourself on the field is preventing or keeping black players from rising in the ranks of MLB or even entering the sport No No I think you look at football you get drafted You're in the NFL You look at basketball you get drafted you're in the NBA You look at baseball you get drafted where do you go The minor leagues And baseball is an expensive sport Basketball is in the basketball football union football Baseball you got travel ball You got to be seen you know high school baseball isn't really that popular more of your summer ball travel team But in football you play every Friday and somebody's going to come see you Basketball you have a couple of tournaments during the course of the year Somebody is going to be seeing they'll be 300 coaches at a basketball tournament You're going to give a scholarship You look at scholarship problems when it 11.7% for baseball That's how many scholarships they offer but football and basketball are full rides So there's a number of factors that go on on why baseball isn't as popular But being able to express yourself and celebrate is in there also Up next on the show stay tuned for more of our conversation with MLB Hall of Famer Ken griffey junior as we discuss his partnership with.

"Show during an interview with one of our guests coming up today We're excited to have 13 time MLB all star Ken griffey junior talk about the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier with our very own scarlet fu and Mike lynch He didn't do what he did who's going to be the next Jackie Robinson We don't know or if it ever happens I was not able to be there for the interview and we'll explain why later but I'm very excited to listen That's straight ahead on the Bloomberg business of sports show but first let's get to some of the topics and some of the big stories of the week Let's start with Clayton Kershaw He was perfect through 7 innings for the Dodgers and then he got pulled and I get exactly why they did it Now remember he's coming off of an injury prone season And he threw 7 perfect innings Dodgers won by the way They shut out Minnesota I understand and Kershaw knew going in he was only going to throw 80 to 85 pitches Now that's the Dodger's point of view I'm not happy about it Michael Barr Uh oh Major League Baseball has played more than 220,000 games since baseball started and their only been 23 perfect games There hasn't been one in ten years since king Felix Hernandez did it for the Seattle Mariners Baseball needs something to bring fans back And the drama of a no hitter is something really really special But the drama of a perfect game is beyond belief and this would just be gone This would have gone viral the final out if it happened and let him come out for the next inning If he walks somebody somebody gets on an error or is a hit you yank them out of the game But I wanted to see him finish this game I wanted to see him chase baseball history And if I'm a fan I'm not happy about it at all So let me play captain devil's advocate here They're trying to protect that arm because it's obviously as a young season now So we want to make sure that Kershaw goes on for the rest of the season And I get it I mean he's like hey I want to see this But you know what It has already done what it's supposed to for baseball because we're talking about it right now Lindsay I just want to see good things happen to baseball I don't want great dramatic moments to be obstructed because somebody's going with a pitch count And I blame Tony La Russa who started this back in the 1980s these stupid pitch counts I just don't like it at all I go back to Warren spawn and Juan Marissa through a 6 bolt through 16 innings complete game in a one zero game back in the 1960s They didn't even have pitch counts but it was estimated they each threw more than a 160 pitches in the game I don't know These guys are just they just so pampered I mean you know this is history You know they haven't missed the next start if he has to Well are we ever going to see a perfect game again Because of the pitch count Yeah I mean you're right And this wasn't a high pitch county This is 80 pitches He knew he wasn't going to throw a hundred He knew he was going to throw 80 to 85 So he knew he was coming out and who knew that he was kind of a perfect game going in It was cold 36° at game time The game was played in Minneapolis outdoors you know sometimes every once in a while you just got to do what's best for the game of baseball Speaking of baseball we have valuations out for the 2021 season heading now into this year Which team is valued the most which franchise is worth 7 billion plus dollars Gee I don't know Lynn please inform me Start spreading the news like a bar Man the Yankees I mean that's why people say why do you always talk about the Yankees And when we're giving a sports score if you notice the Yankees will come first before the mets if you're in New York and mets fans are gonna get all mad about that But this is why because the Yankees a $7 billion franchise I mean my goodness The Red Sox they came in second at over $5 billion That's nearly $2 billion ahead for the Yankees I guess part of it lynching is because you have the stake also in the yes network That's a big part of it What's so incredible to believe about this is that two years ago during COVID there was a 60 game schedule no fans Last year it was limited capacity probably until July or August for most stadiums they weren't allowed to have a 100% capacity Yet they still had to pay a 100% of the salaries to the players and yet the average price for all the French 30 franchises went up over 5% It's hard to believe that that can actually happen when people weren't able to show up at the ballpark The Yankees right now are worth more than the Dallas Cowboys they're worth more than the New York Knicks they're worth more than the Golden State Warriors And if they're not just by a little bit over the cowboys cowboys are valued at $6.92 billion What did Jerry Jones get that team for It was like pennies on the dollar I mean my goodness And the New York Knicks they're at 6.12 billion Golden State Warriors at $6.03 billion George Steinbrenner bought the New York Yankees in 1973 for $8.8 million Oh lordy You can't even get M and M's now for that price man Up next on the show Scarlett foo and Mike lynch speak with Ken griffey junior on Jackie Robinson's impact on baseball for black players and athletes around the world That straight ahead on Bloomberg business of sports I'm Michael Barr You can follow me on Twitter at big

times Any stories you recall your dad passing along about his interaction with Jackie Robinson My dad was in the mind leaks until I haven't we've never really had that conversation It's just the stories of other players who have played with them you know a guy named Joe black Who was a teammate of his Who is that every black ball player that came into the league He made sure that he had a conversation with And make sure that we were aware of the history of black ball players from the barnstorming to Jackie making the death threat He made sure that we were all aware of all those things So it wasn't really my bad conversation with him It was more a teammate of his Joe black who had those conversations and I was able to have those conversations with Joe Right right I know that you are

who wants to give back and you have the Jackie Robinson foundation in the 75 year certainly 5th year who want to have who want to help kids achieve their goal The great thing about Capital One is

things that are going to go out first And that's going to help the foundation Also when we talk about giving back for every hit game winning hit they're giving a $1000 And last year I think it was over $250,000 Hopefully we can get more More hits and winning hits Walk off it So hopefully we can raise more money and let these kids get a chance to live out their goals as a lot of us have And there's a guarantee here of what $250,000 minimum Is that right Yeah There's a guarantee Pretty cool It's going to be fun You're going to start rooting for teams that you normally wouldn't root for because you know that the money is going to go to getting kids to achieve their goals You want to talk about something cool I don't know if people remember this but you actually got to play with your dad And you both hit a home run in the same game Is that right 1990 Yes Yes he hit his first and he shipped my hand and he goes that's how you do it Hey dad I got 600 I'm going to get 630 of these And I just look back and look the great thing about having a dad is that played is that you just looked at him going That's my dad out there And so I hit mine and he made me shake everybody's hand before he shook my hand Really And I wanted to shake his first And he stood in the back of the line and I shook everybody's hand and I sat next to him and not knowing the magnitude of the situation because I'm 20 years old I'm in the game and him being 40 looking at it in a whole different light You know he's looking at you know we just made history I'm looking at like we need to win this game It didn't actually hit me until I passed Frank Robinson on the home run chart And I was rounding the bases and that's when it hit me I go now I understand what my dad felt like in 1990 And it was the only time that I've ever felt that way You know running the basis of wow I understand it now And you hear this you'll understand it later right now you don't understand when a dad tells you something Well that was one of those moments where I didn't understand until later And when it finally happened I understood it but my dad was really he was a teammate And he wanted to make sure that I was treated as a teammate until we got home and that's when he became bad again At the ballpark we were teammates when we got home He was back to being bad and it was quite interesting because he stayed at my house and usually it's the other way around But I might imagine only here for 6 weeks stay at my house My mom was there So I got some pretty good food Dad was real upset because he would ask her something

There's bipartisan outrage in Washington, D. C, where National Guard troops were reportedly urged to move from the halls of the Capitol to a parking garage. The treatment is disgusting.

"Yes, that is passing. And Steve. You are a much bigger baseball fan than I am Huge, but also much younger. I'm that memories of him. But what are what? Your knowledge of him of Hank Aaron and his accomplishment? Yeah, obviously not having lived in that era. Doing my research on Hank here, and I have almost thought of him as like, You know how we celebrate. Jackie Robinson is the first black baseball player to arrive in baseball right and how he kind of Took the brunt of the challenges that face black athletes back then. I always thought of Hank Aaron is kind of like once he truly arrived in like by the end of his career, we had kind of overcome that hump much more significantly, and that's not to say that it was over that racism in sports was over. But it always felt to me like Jackie Robinson was the first and Hank air and just kind of extended that, well, the problem. The problem for Hank Aaron was he was so good and that when that record when, when someone was going to break Babe Ruth's record, the fact that it was going to be a black athlete. Infuriated those people that were just those idiots. They're the racist idiots, but the way he handled it, he handled that attention, like Jackie Robinson handle breaking into the league. So when Barry Bonds was gonna break Hank Erin's record and the controversy of steroids happening, PDS that kind of tarnished it for me, because not only did Hank Aaron do it in a pure way, he did it under circumstances that Bonds didn't have to. And I don't think anybody can ever describe what that must have been, like the pressure on tank. Erin was so immense it was such an immense time s So sad day. Hank Aaron passed away this morning coming up in a moment. Um, slow start to the vaccines were going to talk about the vaccines a little bit more. And what we can do to get vaccines out to people and a little bit more of the numbers that seem to be leveling off, so I'm gonna get to that coming up in just a moment. You know, I talked often about Daisy Valley windows. There's not a whole lot that I will tell you that I'm an expert in but I was in the construction field for decades. I I've remodeled a lot of houses. I've watched really good companies, and I've seen some not so good cos there is not a company out there. When it comes to windows and doors like a Z Valley windows. They do an excellent job. That's how they've maintained their a plus rating by the better business bureau. They control the installation because they do the installation themselves. Some companies use subcontractors. You don't want to use the subcontractor because you can't control the quality of the installation. You want to work with a company that installs their own windows and doors. Easy. Valley windows wants to save you a lot of money right now..

Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman star in 'Ma Rainey'
"The enter chadwick. Boseman died of cancer in august at the age of forty three not long after he finished shooting the movie mall. Rainey's black bottom now streaming on netflix. The movie stars viola. Davis is the famous blue singer mall rainy and was adapted from august. Wilson's play our film critic. Justin chang says that boseman's final screen performance ranks among his very best. One reason chadwick boseman was such. An extraordinary actor was his ability to command the screen without hogging the spotlight. His presence was so quietly magnetic that even when he played real life. Heroes like jackie robinson and thurgood marshall or fictional ones like king to challa in black panther. He still seemed like the most self effacing of movie stars but boseman could also go big like when he took on james brown in the musical bio-pic get on up and gave his most electrifying performance. Until now it's devastating. That ma rainey's black bottom is the last new. Boseman movie will ever see this. Excellent adaptation of august wilson's nineteen eighty to play from the director george c wolfe and the screenwriter ruben. Santiago hudson is both a precious parting gift and a punch in the gut even more than get on up. Boseman holds nothing back. He emptied himself out onscreen. He plays levy a gifted and ambitious trumpet player struggling to forge his way in a white man's world or this case a white man's recording studio where most of the movie takes place. It's a sweltering hot day in nineteen twenty seven chicago in the pioneering southern blues singer ma rainey played by a superb viola. Davis is planning to record some of her most popular songs. Mas name may be in the place title. But she isn't the main narrative focus here much of the story unfolds while the four musicians in her band are waiting for her to show up at the studio. During the rehearsal session cutler the guitar and trombone player played by colman.
