But Why Tho? The Podcast

In this episode, we bring on special guest Tim to help us go through why the NBA matters to people and how it has served as a microcosm of society. Adrian brings us through a brief history of the professional basketball starting at it's roots in a time of segregation, into what Matt calls the best financial deal of all time in which professional basketball became the NBA. We address issues of racism that have been ever present in the sport, the NBA's willingness to reflect the culture of the city they are based in with Latin nights (Los Spurs anyone?) and the celebration of cultural events like Chinese New Year. We also talk about the globalization of the NBA and the fact that the NBA has some great foreign talent. We end on charity work and the MJ baseball conspiracy. BUT we also have the conversation: Who is the GOAT? A special thanks to Tim for joining us on this episode. If this is your first time tuning and want some more TIm in your life you can hear him in our Professional Wrestling episode here and m
