How new NBA stars wasted the old guard

Mike Wise and Tommy Tompkins make sense of a wild hoops weekend

Before this week’s newsletter arrives in your mailbox, consider this Monday offering that features longtime NBA scribe Mike Wise (NY Times, Washington Post, Sacramento Union) and Tommy Tompkins, my Bay Guardian arts editor from the past.

Here are two of my favorite people to talk hoops with. In this Zoom conversation—recorded minutes after Minnesota won its series with defending champion Denver and advanced to the Western Conference Finals—we range beyond the Conference Finals matchups and touch on the contagious power of good New York Knicks teams and Wise’s strange relationship with former Washington star Gilbert Arenas

Tompkins and I were in LA’s Glassell Park section while Wise spoke from Mexico City. These 45 minutes are so much fun. Don’t miss one of them.
