Good man. The conversation would basically be an expanded version of your YouTube video, but with a basketball history bent. Thanks, Adam.

Thank you, Adam. I'd like to invite a SR staffer on my podcast to discuss the Immaculate Grid design process and some stats about its usage etc. Any help you can offer is much appreciated.

"Take it from the Jordans. Stay in school". Michael's family with a rare on-camera appearance.

This was likely recorded after the Chicago Bulls' 1991 title / before the 1992 season. Corrections welcomed.

I'm making calls so that 2025 is the best year yet for my NBA history podcast. This year was inconsistent with episode releases, but I'm excited to turn that around. Wishing you happy holidays, and thank you for your support!

Jeff, what's an NBA 30 for 30 you reckon warrants production?

Just had a quick scour of newspapers.com to no avail. Found five printings of a basic box score. No block totals (or mentions in the recap). Same game, Lakers set a then record for turnovers (43).

Bob Love overcame a severe speech impediment in his 40s. He turned adversity into triumph, becoming a motivational speaker and the Bulls' community ambassador.

He was a 3x NBA All-Star in Chicago. I was fortunate to meet Bob in 2020. RIP, Legend.
