This episode we introduce world class Basketball Talent Evaluator Dain Ervin to the podcast, who discusses both his technical and personal basketball experiences in a most engaging way. We discuss the influence Isaiah Thomas had on the Toronto Raptors franchise in the early years, how playing in Toronto may have affected a young Tracy McGrady and some factors which have positively influenced talent evaluation in Canada. Dain also provides a player comparison of a throwback Raptor Marcus Camby with an accomplished present day NBA center. We then highlight Dain Ervin (Basketball Reports Illustrated) who shares his compelling come up story ranging from his basketball influences in Lefrak, Queens, his unique situation of attending both an HBCU and a PWI for basketball and how some interesting events during the pandemic played into how he landed his current position with the Phoenix Suns. We then conclude Episode 76 with THAT’S ABSURD to discuss a trademark infringement lawsuit placed by Giannis Antenkuompo on a trading card making company for the use of the word "GREEK FREAK".
