Mike Wise's 100th show featured a great discussion with veteran New York hoop journalists Harvey Araton & Frank Isola. They take a deep dive into the historically dysfunctional New York Knicks franchise. Many blame owner James Dolan for the dysfunction, and he is taken to task for his contributions, but it actually started well before he owned the team. The details and history create a "must listen" experience for NBA fans and especially Knicks fans.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Mike Wise Show debuted on January 14, 2019 and this is his 100th show. To help him celebrate the milestone, two of his best friends join him to look back at 2020 and look ahead to 2021. Harvey Araton, the legendary New York Times journalist and author and Frank Isola of Sirius/XM, YES Network, ESPN, and a 22 year veteran of the NY Daily News spend a great hour together. They reflect on the lives and deaths of David Stern and Kobe Bryant and pull no punches. All three men covered the Knicks for years and take a deep dive into the history of the franchise's dysfunction under James Dolan and even before he owned the team. They discuss how COVID-19 has changed the sports culture, how sports journalism has evolved, and discuss Harvey's new book "Our Last Season: A Writer, A Fan, A Friendship," which examines his relationship with the late Michelle Musler, a devoted Knicks fan with whom Harvey had a decades long friendship. The stories they share are rich in detail and are a fitting way to celebrate Mike's 100th show.

Ex-N.Y. Times writer HARVEY ARATON and ex-L.A. Dodgers general manager FRED CLAIRE discuss their meaningful stories that are related in books published in 2020. Araton's book is about a N.Y. Knicks fan who became his friend, confidante and advisor, someone Araton was there for as she was dying of cancer. A book written by Tim Madigan tells of the cancer hospital treating Claire with a special blend of superb care and empathy. Both men say that these books can provide hope and direction as we deal with the coronavirus crisis.
Harvey Araton’s new book Our Last Season: A Writer, a Fan, a Friendship (Penguin, 2020), reads like a mix between Tuesdays with Morrie and a sequel to his book When the Garden was Eden (which chronicled the New York Knicks’ early-70s title teams). It’s a book about friendship, aging and of course, basketball. Harvey Araton is one of New York's--and the nation's--best-known sports journalists, having covered thousands of Knicks games over the course of a long and distinguished career. But the person at the heart of Our Last Season, Michelle Musler, is largely anonymous--except, that is, to the players, coaches, and writers who have passed through Madison Square Garden, where she held season tickets behind the Knicks bench for 45 years. In that time, as she juggled a successful career as a corporate executive and single parenthood of five children, she missed only a handful of home games. The Garden was her second home--and the place where an extraordinary friendship between fan and sportswriter was forged. That relationship soon grew into something much bigger than basketball, with Michelle serving as a cherished mentor and friend to Harvey as he weathered life's inevitable storms: illness, aging, and professional challenges and transitions. During the 2017-18 NBA season, as Michelle faces serious illness that prevents her from attending more than a few Knicks games, Harvey finally has the chance to give back to Michelle everything she has given him: reminders of all she's accomplished, the blessings she's enjoyed, and the devoted friend she has been to him. Paul Knepper was born and raised in New York and currently resides in Austin. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers Who Almost Won It All, is available on Amazon and other sites.

Harvey Araton is one of New York’s—and the nation’s—best-known sports journalists, having covered thousands of Knicks games over the course of a long and distinguished career. But the person at the heart of OUR LAST SEASON: A Writer, a Fan, a Friendship , is Michelle Musler, a fan who was largely anonymous—except, that is, to the players,coaches, and writers who passed through Madison Square Garden. Musler held season tickets behind the Knicks bench and missed only a few games over the course of 45 years, becoming as big a staple at the Garden as Spike Lee. She and Araton formed an extraordinary friendship during hours spent at the arena—Araton reporting on the latest matchup and Musler cheering on the team, always in her seat and never late. Basketball is the foundation for Araton and Musler's story, but OUR LAST SEASON is a universal narrative of the bittersweet moments of transition we all experience and the special people we entrust to help us get through them. About the Author Harvey Araton is a longtime New York City sports journalist who worked for 25 years at The New York Times , to which he still contributes. He is the author or co-author of seven books, most recently Driving Mr. Yogi , which was a New York Times bestseller. His book When the Garden Was Eden was made into an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, which Araton co-produced. In 2017, he received the Curt Gowdy Media Award from the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He lives in Montclair, New Jersey. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

Harvey Araton and Mike Wise are two of the greatest basketball journalists of our era. They have a thoughtful discussion of the entire Daryl Morey/China/NBA/LeBron James controversy. From David Stern's original reservations about doing business with China (@4:50), to Adam Silver's handling of the entire situation (@9:00), to the league being strategic in its causes (@11:00), and how China needs the NBA even more than the NBA needs China (@19:00). Harvey and Mike dive even deeper, examining the question of LeBron James' statement about Morey that some took to mean "Shut up and just be a GM," the executive equivalent of "Shut Up and Dribble." (@ 30:00). You have heard a lot of words spoken about this topic, but none are more insightful than these.
Harvey Araton's new book "Elevated: The Global Rise of the NBA" is destined to be one of the best basketball anthologies in memory.
