Episode 11: The Planes, Trains and Automobiles that begin many NBA 10-day contracts

Welcome to The Phonetic: An audio sports storytelling experience. My name is Jake Fischer. I'm a writer and producer at Sports Illustrated. In today's ever-changing media landscape, everyone has a podcast. But few, if any, use the growing medium to produce original storytelling. I will use this space to recreate all of my upcoming written work phonetically, through sound. Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy and please send any feedback you have to [email protected]. Today's episode is the audio book version of my SI.com The Crossover story (on.si.com/2iEIQd8) detailing quixotic itineraries players often complete before even joining their new team on a 10-day contract. Players use a mixture of planes, trains and automobiles to begin their NBA dreams. Please subscribe on iTunes, Soundcloud and share the podcast with a friend. Have a great week!
