@mirinfader.bsky.social’s DREAM is one of the best sport biographies I’ve read. I’m feeling all the emotions.

I'm so excited to announce that I'm now a senior writer with The Athletic! I'm going to be writing long-form NBA features. I’ll also dabble in other sports from time to time too! 💜💜💜I wrote a column introducing myself: www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

The blurbs for "Moses and the Doctor" are rolling in. Here's one from the great @mirinfader.bsky.social , whose stellar book on Hakeem Olajuwon was mandatory reading for me as I wrote about Moses Malone's tenure on the Houston Rockets.

From @mirinfader.bsky.social last year, this is a good read. Also a bit of a quote from Darko Rajakovic on Sonia Raman (the new Seattle Storm HC).

Amid the Women’s Basketball Boom, What Has Happened to the NBA’s Female Coaching Pipeline?
Just a few years ago, it seemed like the NBA would soon hire its first woman head coach. Is that dream any closer to becoming reality?

Finished @mirinfader.bsky.social's book on Hakeem Olajuwon last night, and it was so damn good. There was so much i learned about Dream that I never knew and seeing how important he was to Houston, Toronto, and the whole world was inspiring

Next book on the docket? Mirin's book on Giannis!!!

Giannis by @mirinfader.bsky.social, an excellent and wide-ranging biography of perhaps the most unlikely NBA MVP in history.

Also like to bring attention to the incredible feature @mirinfader.bsky.social did about Jrue Holiday: www.theringer.com/2024/04/03/n...
Jrue Holiday’s Season of Change
Being traded is a rattling experience. But this summer’s blockbuster paled in comparison to a previous newsbreak in Holiday’s life. “I think it helped prepare me for [the trade],” he says.
