The Open Run With Will Strickland

Episode 152 – The Art Of Official Intelligence


Will Machines ever replace Man?
Seems highly unlikely, but… in the meantime, let Wall $t. help close out your 2023 by flexing his critical thinking muscles on the News, Views and Truths on the NBA and beyond withAlan Shane Lewis, comedian extraordinaire, co-host of CBC’s Great Canadian Baking Show and former co-pilot of b-ball podcast Below The Hardwood.

The Storytellin’ Hoops Magellan and THE Alan Shane Lewis finally wrap up the In-Season Tournament, dispel the cornball casual’s mythology around the importance of the IST to competition junkies St. Michael Jeffrey Of Wilmington and the late great Kobe Bean Bryant, pick their kinda way too early All Stars, spar over the indefinite suspension of Draymond Jamal Green, Sr., look to the future of the league with a 12 year old Spanish phenom and dole out awards for the first trimester of this season!
Also in the final episode of the year, the return of Temetrius Jamel Morant is recalibrated, milestones celebrated, and fallen soldiers in This Thing Of Ours are venerated.
