EPISODE 355: Do the people who run the sport truly love it?
Henry Abbott didn’t start covering the NBA, more than two decades ago, in order to be antagonistic.
Henry started TrueHoop — one of the first basketball blogs ever — because he loves the sport. And because Henry wanted to close the gap between what the public heard about his favorite sport and what was being privately shared in text messages among people who actually knew things. (I can relate.)
Among TrueHoop’s early fans?
NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver.
Things, of course, have changed since.
Which is precisely why I wanted to talk to Henry about what PTFO did, at Sloan, last Friday… and what could happen next.

“Bizzaro Adam silver” line slayed
Probably would have loved a little more about your own dive into the Epstein files, Pablo. But I'll take any-and-all of this crossover I can get. Plus a Skeets mention! Also, didn't know Henry was your editor back at ESPN. So much knowledge flowing 😁
