I use to look forward to the post game analysis with Sahal, Oren, Zarar and others having fun even when we lost. Now it’s Samson going over X’s and O’s and enjoying the opponents victory because he ‘loves good basketball’. Thanks, but no.

Samson has the best vocab in the game bar none. If you’re looking for elite X’s and O’s combined with the odd well-placed literary reference he’s your guy

I think Samson does fabulous game analysis. I also think his other shows where he brings in other experts in NBA is really informative. I really hope Samson goes places and gets a Toronto media opportunity at some point. I guess he would have to be willing to leave Mexico🙂 Great Work Samson!
