Fieldhouse Files: Scott Agness on the Indiana Pacers

Dan Vance on Gabe York, Mad Ants in new G League documentary


Listen Later

Destination NBA: A G League Odyssey” was produced by Amazon Studios with a runtime of just under two hours. It’s scheduled to debut Monday at 8:00 p.m. ET on Prime Video.

And look who’s on the cover for the advertisement on Prime Video? Gabe York — the Mad Ants' all-time leader in 3s in a game (nine), 3s in a season (161) and in franchise history (316).

I have not seen an early copy of the documentary, so I’ll be watching for the first time this week and expecting to see plenty of focus on players who both made it to the NBA and others who are so close, but not there yet.

The documentary is starring G League Ignite alum Scoot Henderson, plus York and Denzel Valentine (Maine). The success stories include Seth CurrySpencer DinwiddieGary Payton II and Jalen Green.

This was a year-long endeavor for the production crew as they followed players around closely. The Mad Ants, led by general manager Chris Taylor and coach Tom Hankins, welcomed the crew with full access. Dan Vance, the team’s director of public relations and social media, also played an important role in the relationship and setting up shots and interviews.

So he’s my guest on the latest Fieldhouse Files Podcast — discussing how the team and York were featured and what that experience was like.

“The exciting part is that we tried to embrace the experience as a franchise and really show the grind of the G League from every level,” said Vance. “That was the most exciting part, being able to showcase who we were as a franchise, who these guys were as a team, and I think that hopefully shows in the documentary.
