About this episode
Jason Timpf of Hoops Tonight on the Volume Network seemingly appeared out of nowhere, thriving at the top of NBA media. Of course, like many an “overnight success story,” his rise was many years in the making. This was a great conversation wherein we discussed, among other things…
* How Jason used 2020 era Twitter Spaces as the battering ram to break into media
* Why Jason, as the counterpoint to Spike Eskin, loves JJ Redick
* How Jason’s career was decided by Colin Cowherd’s 5 seconds of judgment
* Reducing a game to a story
* How much should we blame or credit luck and variance in an outcome?
* Dre Greenlaw’s Super Bowl Achilles: Luck or something else?
* Analytics-leaners dismiss the midrange at their peril
* Steve Kerr’s secret to NBA playoff success
