On this week’s Hear District, Marques and Kris Johnson are joined by 4× New York Times bestselling author Shea Serrano to talk about his new book Expensive Basketball, why he dedicated a chapter to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 2021 NBA Finals run, and how emotion drives the game. The crew also debates the Mount Rushmore of basketball movies, writing techniques, and share stories from their respective basketball journeys, including run-ins with Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller and Denzel Washington.
Before that, Marques and Kris break down the Milwaukee Bucks’ home opener, including Khris Middleton’s return, the newfound defensive edge of Doc Rivers’ squad, Ryan Rollins’ growth, Myles Turner’s debut, and how the Bucks’ offseason intensity is paying off.
