Author Jonathan Abrams talks "The Wire," Cavaliers, more

from Pro Basketball Talk on NBC Sports podcast · host Kurt Helin, NBC Sports

Author Jonathan Abrams, who has written about the NBA for years, has a new book out, an oral history of the legendary HBO series "The Wire." Abrams joins Kurt Helin of NBC Sports to discuss how the book came about, what he learned about the show writing it, and the show's cultural impact now, many years after it shut down. The two also get into what is going on in Cleveland with LeBron James — Abrams previous book was about the "preps to pros" generation of the NBA — as well as whether the NBA should bring back high school players in the draft. There's even a little discussion of the tension between referees and players. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
