On this week's A-Side, Sam and David (0:30) give their initial reactions to episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance before calling up legendary sportswriter Bob Ryan (23:44). Ryan began covering sports for The Boston Globe back in 1969. He's also a frequent ESPN contributor on shows like Around the Horn and PTI. As a beat-reporter for the Boston Celtics, he was witness to Jordan's entry into the NBA, his quick ascendency, and the infamous 63-point playoff game against Larry Bird in the Garden.

B-side with Carl Tart and Dan van Kirk drops Thursday!
