    Best Of With Authors Yaron Weitzman and Ken Belson

    Back with a new show next week but bringing you a few of our favorite interviews. First we delved into the complexities of the LeBron James era with the Los Angeles Lakers with Author Yaron Weitzman, discussing the dynamics of team management, the impact of key figures like Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka, and the challenges faced by players such as Russell Westbrook. We also reflected on the broader implications for the NBA providing insights into organizational behavior and the intersection of sports and narrative control. And of course, we asked him for his take on the Sixers having written the original book on the process. Then author Ken Belson discusses his book 'Every Day is Sunday,' which explores how three key figures—Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, and Roger Goodell—transformed the NFL from a sports league into a global empire. The discussion covers the business strategies, media partnerships, cultural impact, and ongoing challenges faced by the league, including player safety and the future of football.
