It’s another week which means another fresh episode of the Dime Podcast for you. We will be coming to you every Thursday with new episodes and, like last week, we had a very special guest join us for our latest conversation.

For our second episode, Martin and I are joined by The Ringer’s Shea Serrano (@SheaSerrano) to talk about his new book Basketball And Other Things, which comes out October 10 (pre-order here), as well as all things NBA.

Serrano is as passionate about the NBA as he is funny, and we were thrilled to have the New York Times best-selling author join us for a great conversation about all manner of topics from the book to the Spurs to sneakers. Here’s the rundown of what we discussed with Shea:

  • How terrible the book-writing process is
  • The FOH Army
  • His favorite piece of art for the book by Arturo Torres
  • The NBA players that should have roles in the Fast and Furious movie franchise
  • The Spurs consistency and not being nervous about the season
  • Setting expectations in the era of the Warriors
  • The Rockets’ inevitable implosion
  • How hilarious the Celtics losing in the second round of the playoffs would be
  • What NBA player should wear the Dada spinner sneakers?
