I wrote about the many symmetries that bond the Thunder and Pacers, and the beauty and improbability of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tyrese Haliburton as franchise saviors. www.theringer.com/2025/06/02/n...

The Unlikely Symmetry of SGA and Haliburton

After watching the second episode of Celtics City, I bought and read a copy of Bill Russell’s first memoir and wrote this piece on how the absence of anything resembling his voice is felt in today’s NBA, and throughout the country: www.theringer.com/2025/03/11/n...

The NBA Is Desperately Missing a Voice Like Bill Russell’s

I talked to Harvey about his long, long path to last night's spectacular win on Jeopardy! (the highest Coryat score of the season so far!): www.theringer.com/2025/03/11/t...

New year, new Nets? Wrote about one of the most interesting teams in the NBA, and how, for the first time in a loooong time, they're actually in control of their destiny. www.theringer.com/2025/01/01/n...
