Isaac Eger writes about many different subjects, including the ins and outs of pickup basketball. Two years ago, I read an essay he wrote for Los Angeles Magazine entitled What Pickup Basketball Reveals About L.A.. I immediately felt the need to reach out and tell him how much I appreciated his piece. It was exciting to discover Eger's work; he learns about different places all over the world through the process of playing basketball with locals and then translates those experiences into accessible and compelling stories. It was wonderful to have him on the podcast to discuss being a writer and player.
