Pick-Up Basketball with John Haskell

"Pick-up" basketball? Like basketball played in pick-up trucks? Are the trucks playing on their own or are the drivers controlling them to hit the ball with their front bumper up into the hoop, Air Bud-style? Shut up, idiot! We're talking about the kind of pick-up basketball you play with your friends or strangers in the park. And how it's great but can sometimes suck if the ingredients aren't juuuuuust right. John Haskell is a super funny professional comedy man who is a lock-down wing defender with a dynamite mid-range jumper and who plays in a Saturday morning pick-up basketball game with Ben. The Borts talk and chuckle with John about his thoughts as a Philly sports fan, his posters, empathetic athletes, and turning it "up to 11" if you know what we mean. ...
