The NBA is a fast-paced league with a fever-pitched pace unkind to those who linger on the past or even the present too long. That can make it a challenge to put together coverage that cuts deeper than the often-superficial (but still important!) topics that make up the bread and butter of NBA reporting.

The Ringer's Mirin Fader has made a career going against that grain, opening windows into the lives of those NBA players she covers on par with the best of the best long-form treatment seen in other fields of coverage evoking palpable, emotive worlds otherwise beyond our grasp and understanding.

Known for her biographical treatment of Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and the recent author of an article focused on Celtics guard Derrick White, Fader has a unique window on Boston's current journey to the Finals she agreed to share on the latest episode of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast.

Join your usual hosts Cameron Tabatabaie, Justin Quinn, and Alex Goldberg as we talk all things longform NBA writing, the 2022 NBA Playoffs, and more with Mirin Fader.
