Let's do it. Welcome to the Athletic MBA show one day through on the Athletic podcast network.

There's this thing I want you to make a shake. One two.

What you know about Ray Meyer, the mad scientist of basketball,

who saw this clumsy seven footer and taught him footwork and agility,

and touched around the basket and how to stand tall on the court,

developing this George Mike and fella into a basketball pioneer.

What you know about jumping Jim Pollard from Oakland,

who was touching up top of backboards in the 40s.

What you know about the clutches of Sam Jones,

the rebellious creativity of Ren Hourback,

how Bill Russell organized the camp in Mississippi to help race relations

after make your elders was murdered.

What you know about the origins of the showtime lakers being a nightclub

that Santa Monica called the horn, or how Paul Westhead almost killed the dynasty

before he got started. What you know about what you know about Chuck daily,

about number eight Kobe, about the Silicon Valley influence on the NBA.

What you know about in my new book, Dynasties, the 10 goat teams that changed the NBA forever.

We take a look at the NBA's grand history through the lens of its dominant teams

and dominant players. How not only each dynasty was built on the previous one,

but how these legendary basketball teams even impacted society almost as much as the game.

What you know about that?

With poppin' illustration from you being qua.
