BEST OF THE GIST: NBA All-Star Break Edition

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, with the NBA All-Star weekend upon us, we listen back to Mike's 2018 interview with Felipe Lopez. Once considered the Dominican Michael Jordan, he was a high school star whose powers dwindled in college and the NBA. Lopez joined Mike on the even of the release of The Dominican Dream, an ESPN documentary. Then we listen to a great exchange between Mike and Bob Delaney—the former NBA ref turned PTSD crusader, whose latest book is Heroes are Human: Lessons in Resilience, Courage, and Wisdom from the COVID Front Lines—which didn't make the show on Thursday but was too good to throw away.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
