Why We Watch (Part 1)

Some of the best conversations happen between brothers who've been talking hoops and life since they were kids. This is one of those. Sky sits down with his 'brother' Cy Benedict — philosopher, writer, and author of the Substack The Real — and you're a fly on the wall. They get into Cy's recent piece about the Spurs and Thunder, why Wembanyama feels like a breath of fresh air in a league full of optimized everything, and what basketball keeps trying to tell us about the world we're living in. Unexpected audio issues hit, but it felt wrong not to release it anyway — Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Finals is tonight, and this conversation deserved to exist while the series is still alive. The game has always been a mirror.
