Summary
Chris and Rob tell us why the NBA felt compelled to come down on the Dallas Mavericks so hard for their blatant tanking at the end of the regular season and take the analytics crowd to task after an NBA awards voter revealed that he picked Walker Kessler over Paolo Banchero for NBA Rookie of the Year because Kessler had better advanced statistics. Plus, legendary sports marketing executive Sonny Vaccaro swings by to discuss how closely the movie ‘AIR’ resembles what actually happened during Nike’s recruitment of Jordan, why MJ ultimately chose Nike over Adidas and Converse, the rumor that he tried to get Magic Johnson to Nike and much more!
