Jonathan Tjarks (@JonathanTjarks) of The Ringer (@ringer) joins Michael and Ryan to discuss Jonathan's journey to NBA writer, the evolution of the modern NBA, how shooting became the king of all basketball skills, and how analytics and the eye test both play an integral role in player and team evaluations. Later in the pod, we delve into Jonathan's spiritual journey, his relationship with Jesus/God and how he views his platform. We also touch on key topics such as the historical accuracy of Friday Night Lights (both the TV show and the book), Corey Kispert's headband swag, and the mechanics of Sunday School felt boards.
Jonathan's writing can be found nearly daily at theringer.com and his voice can be heard regularly as a host on The Ringer NBA Show podcast. His theological thoughts can be found at tjarksbooks.blogspot.com
