I really like the way Mike James writes. He goes into detail without dragging the reader into the weeds. Even-handed and open-minded. Makes a case and backs it up. This was well done.

Before I left the Nets, I put together the Basketball's Borough podcast, a series of stories from over a century of hoops in Brooklyn. Loved being able to talk to so many legends and pleased the first episode is finally out. iheart.com/podcast/1119-b…

Episode 2 of Basketball's Borough takes a look at the pioneers, from the Black Fives to a college powerhouse at LIU Athletics and the growth of pro hoops, with the first basket in NBA history scored by Brooklyn's Ossie Schectman of Tilden HS and LIU. iheart.com/podcast/1119-b…

This reminds me of a short-lived, long-ago scheme to rename the New Jersey Nets with a corporate name like the Nike Nets ... story was part of a podcast project that will unfortunately never see the light of day nytimes.com/athletic/55623…

Reminder: the most destructive force in college athletics is the greed and selfishness of the power conferences and their members, not NIL or the transfer portal. Remember that the next time one of their university presidents writes an op-ed decrying the state of college sports.
