Chris Ballard, Sports Illustrated columnist and author of The Art of a Beautiful Game, was gracious enough to give me an hour of his time the other day for an interview. And since I’m such a smart guy, I decided to record the conversation.
Thus, below, for your listening pleasure, is “Episode 3: The One Where Chris Ballard’s Publicist Doesn’t Probably Vet the Person Requesting an Interview.”
In all seriousness, it was a rather good discussion, if I do say so myself. And if you’re a person who is reading about the NBA on the internet, you will probably enjoy all the talk about Shane Battier, Daryl Morey and the Rockets’ use of advanced statistics/rigorous game-charting. We spend about 20 minutes on that stuff and also recount Ballard’s three-point shootout with Steve Kerr, talk about his D-3 glory days at Pomona College and go back and forth on the Dreaded 10 Questions of Stupidity.
Enjoy. Subscribe through iTunes. Rank/review us there. And tell your friends.
