BRAD SMITH: Welcome back, everyone. Some other business headlines that we're watching for you today. Walmart is charging some of its suppliers a new fee to transport goods to its warehouses and stores. Now, that's according to a memo seen by "The Wall Street Journal." Starting August 1, companies will be charged a fuel surcharge and a collect pickup charge. The move is a result of Walmart adapting to the quote, "significant transformation and increased cost seen in the transportation industry over the last few years," end quote.

Ben & Jerry's is suing parent company Unilever in an effort to block the sale of its Israeli business to a licensee. Now, the move is the latest in the company's attempts to end sales in Israeli-occupied West Bank. In a complaint filed yesterday, the company said Unilever's decision to sell the business was done without the approval of Ben and Jerry's independent board of directors. Over a year ago, the company said it would no longer sell its products in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and parts of East Jerusalem because such sales were inconsistent with our values, according to the company.

And NBA great Michael Jordan-- NBA great? I think we should say the GOAT. Up for debate amongst your friends there.

The cover athlete for "NBA 2K23" in the game's limited Championship Edition. This is Jordan's fourth time on the cover of the video game. The game's going to feature a mode called the Jordan Challenge in which users will get to experience and play out different moments from Michael Jordan's career the game releases on September 9. But pre-orders begin tomorrow, July 7.

Whether you're calling him the GOAT or anything else, Brian, I'm pretty sure we can all call him his airness.

BRIAN SOZZI: GOAT. And Brad, do you think this is a sign that he might be coming back and joining LeBron?

BRAD SMITH: [LAUGHS] You know? In the video game, maybe.
