Mike Safo with author of , "Basketball: A Love Story, Rafe Bartholomew 2

Joined today by friend of the show, boxing guru and author of one of the best sports books I've ever read, "Basketball: A Love Story", Rafe Bartholomew. Rafe stopped by the Westwood One studios, shared a few beers and tried to convince me that he hasn't gone Hollywood. We talk about how he got the call to be part of this legendary book, and what it took to put Holy Grail of Basketball interviews into one book. We discuss all things basketball and touch on some entertaining stories about the NBA, Michael Jordan, and the characters of the NBA. We touch on the topic of boxing current events like Wilder vs Fury, Lomachenko, and the Canelo fight. It wouldn't be an interview with Mr. Bartholomew if we didn't talk about traveling to the Philippines and his prediction of Manny Pacquio's next fight. From stories of McSorely's to learning tagalog, Rafe contonitues to be one of the best guests on the show.
