Hello and welcome to the Game Theory podcast.

I'm your host Sam Vassini.

We're presented by The Athletic today on the show.

It's someone I've wanted to get on the podcast for a long time.

It is the legend, Ben Taylor.

Doesn't go by Ben Taylor in a lot of his content, arguably his most famous piece of content,

which is the Thinking Basketball YouTube page where Ben has well over 200,000 subscribers.

He is one of the absolute best content creators on the internet when it comes to basketball.

He's written a book, Thinking Basketball.

And he just published his greatest peak series on YouTube, which I've got to tell you,

I think it was probably the greatest peak of YouTube basketball content then.

How you doing, man? I was doing like pretty good before that introduction, and now I'm feeling extremely good.

That was, uh, how much do I owe you for that?

I, I am the king of being able to hype up my guests on the show.

And I'm, I mean it though.

When I say that, I was so excited every time that a new greatest peaks video popped up.

I actually just went through the top 10 greatest peaks video that you did again just to prepare for

this podcast. And it's just so detailed. It's so interesting. You're so good at being able to

explain minute details very simply, I think is what makes your skill set as valuable

as it is within the basketball community.

So I thank you for that content, but thanks more importantly for coming on the show.

Oh, well, of course.
