Crossover Chronicles: The Podcast. Brought to you by the writers at Bloguin's NBA site, Crossover Chronicles.
Amin Elhassan of ESPN, who worked with Cavs GM David Griffin and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr when they were both with the Phoenix Suns, has a unique perspective on the NBA Finals. He is scratching his head trying to figure out what Kerr was doing with his lineup in Game 3.
Former NBA star and current TNT Brent Barry talks about the remarkable rise of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the as remarkable struggles of the Golden State Warriors, the coaches for whom he played, and growing up the son of an absentee NBA dad.
Before Woj, before Marc Stein, before Marc Spears, before any of the NBA national reporters we all follow on Twitter, there was Peter Vecsey. If you're old enough to have watched the NBA in the 90's, you remember him as the know-everything guy on NBC's broadcasts. Vecsey retired from the New York Post in 2011, and lives on Long Island with his wife of 37 years, whose name he did not say during our rambling, 1 1/4-hour chat. We did talk about the Warriors and how they would stack up against the great teams in history (not so well), the 1975 Warriors and Rick Barry, and the ABA, which Vecsey covered closely back in the day. I hope you enjoy this Crossover Chronicles Podcast with Peter Vecsey.It's a long one, so get make sure your device is plugged in.
