This radio appearance happened completely by accident.

Henry Abbott of TrueHoop was in town covering game 4 of the Finals, and we had arranged to be at the ESPNZone before the game, just as an opportunity to meet. When I got there, the place was a zoo, and Henry had Tom Goldman of NPR in tow: Tom was doing a story about Laker-hating. They had the realization that I might have some insight into the phenomenon, so he asked me some questions.

I must have talked for 20 minutes - I was solid gold, I'm telling you. Brilliant insight after brilliant insight spilling out of my mouth, filling his digital recorder until it burst.

And he used the 3 second 'Kobe's a punk' thing. Sure, when you edit it that way, it lacks nuance. I got your nuance right here, Goldman.

Actually, it's a nice enough spot for 4 minutes of radio - and the frothing at the mouth Clipper blogger thing is pretty funny. I wish he'd included the blog name though. That's the second time I've been on NPR, and both times they neglected to give the name of the blog.

HEY NPR! YOU MAY BE NON-PROFIT, BUT I AIN'T. I NEED PAGE VIEWS!

it's 3am and we're listening

to CS SP rant on about hating the Lakers, er check that…

Roger Sterling: I bet there were people in the Bible walking around, complaining about "kids today."
Don Draper: Kids today, they have no one to look up to. Cuz they're looking up to us.

SP

I wish I would’ve heard everything you said and not just 3 seconds of it. Even just 5 min of the 20 would’ve sufficed.

"This kid is the best new talent in the league right now, and I don't care who else you mention." -Suns Coach, Alvin Gentry, on Clippers rookie sensation, Eric Gordon.

My stereotype chart says NPR listeners highly correlate with sports are for dumb jocks folks.

Yes but...

ClipsNation is pretty erudite. We use words like ‘correlate’ and ‘erudite’.
