Our latest podcast features a special guest and longtime friend of the podcast: Ian Levy. Hardcore hoops fans will know Ian from his work as a Senior NBA Editor at Fansided, the Editor-in-Chief of the Hardwood Paroxysm Basketball Network and his many contributions to sites like Nylon Calculus. A lifelong Pacer fan, Ian also holds the honor being the very first guest ever on the old Brew Hoop podcast, having appeared waaaaaay back in December 2011 to talk about Mike Dunleavy's signing.
In this episode, Ian, Eric Nehm and I discuss the Bucks' summer, what kind of ambitions they should have in the East this coming season, which East teams might be ripe for a tumble, and how the Bucks might approach Giannis Antetokounmpo's development as a Point Guard-Forward-Center. We recorded about an hour of content so we're posting Part 1 today and will run Part 2 on Wednesday.
We'd also like to thank SeatGeek for sponsoring today's episode -- if you haven't already, be sure to download the app and check out the pod for a promotional code worth $20 toward your first purchase (if you listen to other NBA podcasts this probably sounds familiar!). We'll be running the promotion this week and if things go well we'll hopefully be able to do it again closer to the season. Thanks for your support!
