Nice addition by ESPN

I said a year ago that the NBA needs their own version of NFL Playbook. I'm glad they listened to my advice.

It's crazy how the NFL has just as many casual fans but the discourse is the opposite. The fans can tell you that a Defensive Coordinator adjusting to Cover 2 was the difference in the game. NFL fans actually watched NFL playbook to get a breakdown on the game. There is no NBA Playbook equivalent.

Good read, I see ESPN trying to do something different with Legs but as long as ESPN continues to try to push SAS as the face of their NBA media coverage they will probably be the worst of the 3 media partners

I think if one show was that it wouldn't be as bad but every show being that has been a disservice to the NBA.
