Kyle and Seerat are joined by Mike Prada from The Athletic to
discuss his new book, ‘Spaced Out: How the NBA’s Three-Point
Revolution Changed Everything You Thought You Knew about
Basketball.' They begin by diving into the book’s central theme,
exploring the definition of “purity” in basketball, and pondering
whether James Naismith would recognize the modern game next to the
one he created (7:42). Next, they talk about legendary coach John
McClendon’s contributions to the speed of the game, and dissect how
some of these developments have led to certain types of players
being pushed out of the league, with Roy Hibbert as a prime example
(12:47). They end the pod by examining how Billy Knight’s archaic
team-building philosophy as the Hawks GM ultimately stunted his
team’s development and the culture of accepting new ideas in the
today’s NBA (37:28). Hosts: Seerat Sohi and J. Kyle Mann Guest:
