The latest episode of The Jacobin Sports Show features Dan Devine of The Ringer. We discuss the ascendance of the fun (!) Charlotte Hornets, LaMelo Ball’s early brilliance, the quiet but thorough dominance of the San Antonio Spurs’ bench, All-Star voting controversies and mulligans, the Atlanta Hawks’ firing of Lloyd Pierce, and what the New York Knicks’ success feels like as a fan and a sportswriter. Jonah and Matthew also dive into the Celtics' struggles, the Lakers' title chances, and whether the NBA's expanded playoffs is good for the fans or just more corporate excess.
Dan Devine is a staff writer at The Ringer, where he covers the NBA. Before that, he did so at Yahoo Sports. He also serves on The Ringer Union’s bargaining committee. Dan can be found on Twitter @YourManDevine.
