Blake Gillespie is on the pod (again!) to discuss the first letter I wrote to Adam Silver, back in the early fall of 2017, regarding the rule that the NBA had/has in place that requires players to stand for the National Anthem.

Blake Gillespie is a former journalist and current writer who thinks and makes work about basketball as a force larger than the game itself. Blake is the writer, editor and creator behind Sacred: On Devotion to Spiritual Hoops, a publication that looks at the meditative and mental value of the game. He is based in Sacramento, CA. You can read and learn more about Sacred here and follow him on instagram here.

Blake and I reference a couple things throughout the course of the conversation. Here is a link JJ Reddick's discussion with Taylor Rooks and here is a link to a conversation between Dave Zirin and Craig Hodges (you can also find their conversation in the Edge of Sports podcast feed). Also, an article that address the portal that Blake and I spoke about can be found here.
