Episode 517: Chris Herring, Author of Blood in the Garden

Author and sportswriter Chris Herring joins Daniel Ford and Mike Nelson on the show to discuss his book Blood in the Garden: The Flagrant History of the 1990s New York Knicks.

Daniel and Mike also chat about the best (and worst) NBA nicknames of all time.

Your goal as a reporter is to show rather than tell someone something. You want to be able to lay out what someone was thinking or how they remember what they were thinking.
