June 02, 2025 The Subprime Swag Crisis with Ock Sportello
Ock Sportello returns to discuss his excellent blog about the NBA’s swag crisis. We talk to him about why he wrote the piece, why he thinks it resonated with the basketball blogging community, and why the streets yearn for Free Darko. We also try to make sense of the swag crisis, how it fits into broader culture, and how he’s responsible for Mina Kimes saying “Zynternet”. Finally, Patrick gives a little preview of his time at a crypto conference, and we end by naming some cool basketball players.
