Today on BRING IT IN, David Thorpe teaches Henry Abbott what it takes to throw a good lob. There’s a lot of technique, but without a springy teammate it’s just unlikely to work. Also: no NBA games are among the 100 most-watched sports events. Which isn’t new but also isn’t great. Mark Cuban weighs in.

"Professional sports are intricately complex at both the personnel level as well as the in game tactical level. I really believe that.
