Episode 29 - Feminism

Ahhhhh sports fandom. Emotion, passion, and irrationality at its finest. Well, we tried our best to put all that aside as we talked about NBA fandom in this week's episode. Ryan brings his perspective as a budding Celtics fan, and Shivam supplies a more storied connection to his small-market Grizzlies. Topics include weird NBA fan Twitter, punditry vs. analysis, and if NBA fans should have a title-or-bust mentality.
