Amazing
Two things I really appreciate about World of Basketball: 1) The behind the scenes of playing and coaching basketball. So much goes into the game that average fans rarely see or read about and Fran really does an amazing job diving into that world. 2) The comfort level Fran has with all his guests, which obviously has been built over years/decades, comes through in the depth of these conversations and how willing they are to share. Highly recommend!!!
Finally!
This is the show I’ve needed for a long time. As a basketball junkie I have always sought out books and documentaries that allow me a peek into the international basketball world. Fran, thank you so much for your dedication to this!
