The Decision

This is The Decision: The podcast where people try to convince me to finally abandon The Knicks, and become a fan of their favorite team.

This is Episode 5: The Toronto Raptors. I think they’re a good candidate because I just love what Canada seems to represent. And to make an argument for Canada is Chris Berube, who's probably the platonic ideal of what I think about when I think of a Canadian. You can follow Chris at twitter.com/chrisberube.

The Decision is produced by Alex Kapelman. Original music from Louis Stein, Alessio Romano, and Scott Kapelman. There will be five new episodes of the show every weekday until Tuesday, October 17, when the final episode will be released. Until then, follow Alex on Twitter at twitter.com/alexkapelman.

This is Episode 4: The Brooklyn Nets. This is gonna be a hard one. The Nets are walking distance away from me, but they’re atrocious. However, I did find a true Nets fan, my buddy Chris Choi. He’s head of global digital strategy for the nonprofit 100 Resilient Cities. And, uh, well, I’ll just say he tried really hard. You can find Chris Choi at twitter.com/thischoi.

This is Episode 3: The Boston Celtics. One of my most despised teams. Boston fandom just does not do it for me, and I’ve always hated the Celtics. But I brought on someone who actually made a pretty good case. His name is Jake Tuber. He’s one of my best buddies and a lifelong Celtics fan. Alright, here’s our conversation.

This is Episode 2: The Philadelphia 76ers. I don't have any real affinity to Philadelphia, but I loved Allen Iverson when he was playing, and I know they have a nice young team right now. The guy who's gonna try to convince me to hop on the bandwagon is Gene Demby, the lead blogger for NPR's Code Switch, and the host of the Code Switch podcast. You can listen to Code Switch on your podcast app of choice, and you can find the Code Switch blog at npr.org.
