Well, I've been wanting to have this man on the podcast basically since its inception

It's someone who many of us are including me. Oh a great depth to both in terms of

Expanding the NBA media universe and also directly helping that many of our careers as well

He's now rebooting the true hoop site true hoop himself Henry Abbott. How you doing?

I didn't know it was gonna be all embarrassing on the intro. Thanks for all those nice things you said Nate

Pleasure to be here

I got all this nice shit. I'm gonna say about you later too actually. Oh right on

Just just I'll warn you beforehand though. How's it going man? It's great to have you back

No, it's great to be back. It's great to be back

I'm in the attic of my house where I spent um 22 months basically

It was a house arrest

But I had a weird sabbatical and I'm looking at the books I read I read this huge shelf of books

And I'm a little bit of like a curious mind and so I just like learned a ton and I you know went way down the rabbit hole

But now it's and that was fun. That was it was a real treat

I spent a ton of time with my family who were the best

I had a wonderful time during this 22 months, but now it's like all the stuff that I learned from these books and from

Watching basketball and talking to people and interviewing people and flying around the country

Now I get to like do it right like I'm a in the end

I'm one of those like dogs that likes to run, you know

Now I get to go run which is pretty cool. It feels great. It feels great to be out of the cage

Yeah, well, you're also a human who likes to run it as it turns out of but yeah

Having played basketball with you. I can attest to that. Wait actually
