Feels like a transfer of industry mindset from analysis to virality. SAS is boisterous and is a hot take machine. Kendrick Perkins is similar. Lowe, while still entertaining, is more analytical and, uh, basketball-minded 😅
It’s a shame that ESPN has gone for the hot-take factory approach, at least that’s how it seems.

This seems reminiscent of the firing of Jeff van Gundy - their best tv broadcast basketball analyst - last year.

That was 100! I'll follow Zach Lowe wherever his work appears, written, voice and video. Particularly good call out on Monica McNutt. well done Tommy!
Thanks, Richard - Much appreciated!
I'd love to see him start a Substack - would give him complete creative control

100%... and ESPN is certainly entitled to chase profits at all costs - but I'm just not sure its a sustainable business model.
Typical ESPIN bs
