People tend to think that whatever they’re going through, they’re the only one going through it… We’re made similarly so those emotions aren’t unique just to you. Those experiences aren’t unique just to you.
Today’s episode is a conversation with the great journalist and writer Jeff Pearlman. Jeff has written two of my favorite basketball books, Showtime (about the 80’s-era Lakers) and Three-Ring Circus (and the 2000’s-era Lakers).
In this conversation we discuss, what makes a good interview participant, favorite Lauryn Hill song (Everything is Everything), was Kobe a good teammate, and the benefits of keeping a diary.
You can find Jeff at the following places: Twitter; Blog; Podcast; Amazon Author Page.
