BRING IT IN: Truth is delicate in the NBA
Today on BRING IT IN, TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott and David Thorpe talk about truth seeking in media and assess the latest batch of young players.
Did the Celtics’ defense do anything wrong to allow Luka’s crazy game-winner?
Recent articles about a decade or two of bad behavior from Robert Sarver and Neil Olshey make clear how rare it is for journalists to share bad news about powerbrokers.
Now that the NBA is permitting much rougher defense, the Nets might have an advantage.

BRING IT IN: Truth is delicate in the NBA
Henry et al. just a quick note to say this conversation about journalism, truth, the reality of imbalanced power dynamics, and how owners mostly call the shots was one of the best pieces of audio this year. Please know some listeners would love to hear even MORE of this type of content. Appreciating the player's skills and how the game evolves are also great. BUT, there are few places actively discussing these other realities and it was refreshing and illuminating to hear this candid conversation about uncomfortable realities. Please have more regular podcast conversations along these lines. Thank you.
