On this episode I’m joined by Josh Gondelman to talk about why being an NBA fan is a great hobby no matter how into sports you are or are not. We talked about doing trash talk but nicely, building community via sports fandom, which NBA team to become a fan of depending on what vibes you are in search of, and lots more.
