Description

This week, we've got the shortest man in basketball Hall of Fame, Harlem Globetrotters founder Abe Saperstein! What better way to commemorate the Globetrotters than with comedian Matt Walsh, who actually spent time teaching the globetrotters improv! Plus, we talk to author and professor Ben Green about the history of the Globetrotters, and how Abe might not be the founder everyone thinks he is!

James Dolan was born into immense privilege. He could have done anything with his life. But he chose the family business — a cable television empire that came to include ownership of the New York Knicks, one of the most beloved franchises on earth. What happened from there is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. Dolan didn't just lead the Knicks to disaster (and the worst record in the NBA in the 21st Century); he also built a laboratory of shame, dysfunction, and, well, unintentional hilarity. Join host David Greene as he unpacks this trainwreck, over 5 riveting episodes, while chasing the answer to one elusive question: Why the hell won't James Dolan just sell the team?From SmartLess Media, and Campside Media, the company behind SUSPECT and CHAMELEON: WILD BOYS. REIGN OF ERROR is the series James Dolan doesn't want you to hear. Join the resistance today, by hitting play.
