Thanks for doing this! I loved Boys Among Men. I remember hearing on a podcast or something how you really wanted to get an interview with Kevin Garnett for that book, but you weren't able to. Was there anyone you had high on your list that you weren't able to talk to for this book? In general, how was the process of getting in touch with everyone and were they open to it? Thanks again. I'm picking up the book tonight and can't wait to read it.

Big fan, Chuck.

How were you able to transition into sports writing? I'm currently in a nonfiction MFA program, and most of my work is a lot of personal/narrative/imagery/flowery language, etc. That said, I think my dream career is writing about sports, and hopefully incorporating that style of writing, somehow.

Did you start with your pop-culture nonfiction stuff and transition to sports or vice versa? Or did it kind of all flow together?

Thanks

This is cool since I'm never around for AMAs and I love hoops.

Double question:

Who is the most menacing defender you've faced, i.e. who do you hate going up against?

Flipside:

Who do you hate to have to defend?

Edit: I had you on my fantasy team, and it was a salary cap league. You killed it.
