I have, well, you know, I'll just say I don't really follow sports.

I was going to say I have a confession to make, but it's not really a confession, just a fact, a preference.

I don't go skydiving either, and that's not a confession. But sometimes admitting

you don't like sports, well, that feels a bit more like admitting you don't like television or

movies or puppies. Now, of course, I've watched enough sports to know how the games are played.

I think I even understand off-sides in both soccer and hockey. But don't ask me player name.

Certainly don't expect me to know the coaches. I may not even be aware of entire teams, if I'm honest. But that doesn't mean

I don't love a good sports story. The movie Hoosiers was fantastic. Rudy, the natural, Bull Durham,

all great. I devour drive to survive on Netflix, but I've never once watched an actual

F-1 race. And I love sports history. Baseball is a fascinating mirror of a changing society, and who doesn't

love the story of old Teddy Roosevelt meddling in American football? So even though I don't sport much,

I am looking forward to bringing you today's Saturday matinee.

An episode from the podcast, Historically Speaking Sports, which looks back at one of the NBA's brightest

and most influential eras and what could have possibly happened to rewrite the history of the game.

I hope you enjoy. While you're listening, be sure to search for and follow Historically Speaking Sports.
