"By the Grace of the Game" by Dan Grunfeld

Former college basketball standout turned author Dan Grunfeld (@Dan_Grunfeld) joins the show to talk about his new book, "By the Grace of the Game: The Holocaust, a Basketball Legacy, and an Unprecedented American Dream." Dan's father, Ernie Grunfeld, is the only NBA player to have had parents who survived the Holocaust and Dan uses basketball to help tell his family's story. Dan also shares a few interesting nuggets of information about what his dad is really like behind the scenes and his own stories from their time in D.C. Ernie Grunfeld was always more of a private figure during his tenure as Wizards' GM so this book (and interview) should help shed some light on what makes him tick. Matt also covers: why the Wizards should not rebuild, Gafford's stellar defensive play, the Wizards' offensive struggles, Kuzma's clutchness, and a Montrezl Harrell vs Davis Bertans boxing match.
