Andre Drummond has played 10 games so far with the Los Angeles Lakers since joining them as a midseason buyout free agent. And with just 11 games to go in the regular season, the team has now seen just about half of the sample size they’re going to get on “The Big Penguin” before the playoffs begin, so it’s probably about time for us to discuss what we’ve seen so far, and what we feel like we (and the Lakers) can expect from Drummond in the postseason at this point. To do that, I could think of no one better to join me than Sopan Deb of the New York Times, also known as “the man who once argued on Twitter that Drummond will be a Hall of Famer one day.” After briefly discussing that whole episode, we dove in to Drummond’s play with the Lakers so far, and tried to make the cases both for and against him as a meaningful playoff contributor, as well as talking about how we see this addition going for the Lakers. Finally, to wrap up the show, we debated if we’re all giving this too much thought, and if the addition of Drummond will actually matter all that much one way or the other when the postseason rolls around.

He's a die hard fan, so on a personal level the struggles of the Boston Celtics this season are hitting NY Times NBA writer Sopan Deb particularly hard. But they have a simple explanation, at the root: The C's let an All-Star caliber player in Gordon Hayward go to Charlotte, and replaced him with... nothing. So add in a banged up Kemba Walker and an injured Marcus Smart, and what did people think was going to happen? That they'd be better than last year? Meanwhile, there's actual cause for optimism in New York, where Julius Randle has made the All Star team for the first time in his career. Deb profiled Randle for the Times, and we talk about the former first round pick's growth from Los Angeles through New Orleans and now for two years with the Knicks. What has helped him grow so much this year? It starts with stability, which is a weird thing to say about that franchise, but it seems they might have some. Finally, it's some music talk. Nobody stans for the Dave Matthews Band like Sopan, and he/they recently received quite an honor, one Deb feels he may have helped bring about. And what's the deal with the "dad" vibe Springsteen is putting out these days?

Hello Spilling Chai, Listeners! Welcome to Episode 5 of Season 2 coming to you from Washington, DC. Being a writer during a pandemic has made me think a lot about not just our stories but who gets to tell them. Being a brown person in America, an immigrant, a person of color, means that narratives are often framed for you by well, your brownness. But the work of our guest today has been instrumental in reminding people not only how important representation is but how important it is that we ourselves get to choose, and own, how our stories are told. I am talking about author and New York Times writer, Sopan Deb!

The guys are back to discuss the latest in NBA news including the decision to not permit Jimmy Butler to go "nameless" upon returning. Next, NY Times NBA/culture writer Sopan Deb joins the mix to participate in our action movie marathon snake draft.

As he approached his 30th birthday, Sopan Deb found comfort in his day job as a writer for the New York Times and as a practicing comedian. But his stage material highlighting his South Asian culture only served to mask the insecurities borne from his family history. Theirs was an ostensibly nuclear family without any of the familial bonds. In Sopan’s latest book, Missed Translations, he raises the essential questions: Is it ever too late to pick up the pieces and offer forgiveness? How do we build bridges where there was nothing before—and what happens to us, to our past and our future, if we don’t? In this episode, Alka Arora, Associate Professor of Women’s Spirituality at CIIS, talks with Sopan about the silence and ignorance that separate us, and the blood and stories that connect us. This episode was recorded during a live online conversation on June 3, 2020.

In today’s episode, in addition to the usual roundup of new notable desi books, short stories, poems, essays, interviews, awards, and more, we have Sopan Deb in the #DesiReads segment, where he's reading from his new memoir, Missed Translations.

This week on the show, Milan is joined by New York Times journalist Sopan Deb--author of the brand-new memoir, Missed Translations: Meeting the Immigrant Parents Who Raised Me. Whether it’s Hasan Minhaj’s comedy--OR the spectacle of the “Howdy, Modi” rally in Houston--OR Aarti Shahani’s heartbreaking memoir--listeners of this show know that getting inside the Indian immigrant experience is one of Grand Tamasha’s obsessions. On the surface, Sopan is a successful journalist, comedian, and cultural commentator. But in his new book, he explores a side of his life that existed well below the surface--his estrangement from his parents, the alienation he felt as an immigrant kid in a mostly white New Jersey suburb, and the heartbreak he endured watching his family life not so much fall apart as melt away. Milan and Sopan discuss his toxic family life, his Indian-American coming-of-age story, and his life-changing journey to meet the parents who raised him. YOU'RE INVITED: Join Milan, Tanvi, and Sadanand for a special LIVE episode of Grand Tamasha on Tuesday, May 19, at 11am EST / 8:30pm IST.

On this week’s episode, New York Times reporter and standup comic Sopan Deb discusses Missed Translations: Meeting the Immigrant Parents Who Raised Me (Dey Street, April 21). Deb’s “refreshing” debut memoir is the story of his journey to India (and select parts of New Jersey) in search of answers to the many questions surrounding his family’s estrangement. Then our editors join with their reading recommendations for the week, including books by Vikram Madan, Deborah Wiles, John Freeman, and C Pam Zhang.

Sopan Deb lived under the same roof with both of his parents for most of his childhood, but never knew their ages or where they grew up or if they had any siblings. He didn't know much about them at all. He lived in a house of strangers, each going about their own lives, only briefly bumping into one another. It wasn't until Sopan turned 30 that he realized he was missing something and set out to reconnect with the family he never really understood.Sam talks to Sopan about his journey of self-reflection, traveling to India to see his father and what he ultimately learned about his family and himself.Email the show at samsanders@npr.org.

"This transaction stuff, it's good for the league."  The New York Times' Sopan Deb dropped by Havlicek Stole the Pod to fill us in on the NBA's tampering investigation. Several sources believe it involves the Clippers' pursuit of Kawhi Leonard and hidden promises. As Adam Silver pitches tampering reform, Deb makes the case: the NBA should allow it.  Since it happens anyway, there's slim odds of stopping it, should basketball allow open tampering? We love the show, it'd surely add to it, and flare tensions. We also discuss where the cost to acquire a star via trade is going in the future.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Caitlin and Jenny are back and hope you didn't forget to not read Infinite Jest while we were gone! We've got a lot to catch up on this week, but the Cliff's Notes version is: Michelle Wolf, Jessica Walter, Chrissy Tiegen, and Mary Karr are national treasures. You'll also hear some Basic Lady tips, what we think Infinite Jest is about, and lots of loud exasperated sighs.

It Got Raw." by Sopan Deb in the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/23/arts/television/arrested-development-netflix-interview-jeffrey-tambor.html Square Foot Gardening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_foot_gardening Michelle Wolf freaking nails it: https://youtu.be/DDbx1uArVOM

When actor Jessica Walter said fellow co-star Jeffrey Tambor verbally harassed her on the set of "Arrested Development," the show’s lead, Jason Bateman, jumped to Tambor’s defense -- and we noticed. This week, we suss out what this interaction -- documented in sound -- shows us about the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that we're taught to minimize the experiences of women. We juxtapose Jessica Walter's quiet, composed anger with Asia Argento's seething indictment at Cannes, and interrogate the stakes that make women -- and other marginalized groups -- temper their rage. What would happen if our culture allowed these groups to more fully occupy their anger?Plus, we talk about the cancellation of ABC's "Roseanne," because even though on some level justice has been done, we're still mad.

Whether the Boston Celtics ( https://celticswire.usatoday.com/lists/grading-the-boston-celtics-2020-21-regular-season-player-by-player/ ) win or lose their play-in tournament game against the Washington Wizards ( https://celticswire.usatoday.com/lists/nba-boston-celtics-preview-wiz-5-18-21/ ) , it's safe to say it won't affect the legacy of recently-inducted Hall of Fame Celtics legend Kevin Garnett. So in the spirit of sports positive inspired by friend of the pod the Riffs Man ( https://celticswire.usatoday.com/2021/05/11/nba-boston-celtics-go-youngamechangerfoundation/ ) , we decided to take a break from focusing on the season at hand to pay homage to KG's career in the week of his induction to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. We are joined by special guest Sopan Deb of the New York Times, who talks all things The Big Ticket with us after penning an account of the start of Garnett's career. We even try and prognosticate what might be coming down the pike in the coming offseason for the Celtics. Join hosts Cameron Tabatabaie, Alex Goldberg, and Justin Quinn as we honor KG in this most recent episode of the Celtics Lab.

What Boston Celtics Hall of Fame big man Bill Russell did on the basketball court is unparalleled in the history of sport, winning 11 NBA championships while helping to integrate the sports as part of the first all-Black starting five in league history, its first Black superstar, and first Black head coach among countless accolades.But it is easy to lose the activism, mentorship, and life experience of the man in lauding the player, and perhaps more than anyone in NBA history, those things were inseparable. Russell was a monumental human being who answered the call for justice at what might have been great personal expense and at great risk, and it would be a disservice to who he was to elevate his identity as a basketball player above the rest of what made him so special.With that in mind, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast linked up with the New York Times' Sopan Deb to talk with him about Russell's legacy as a person and an activist, and how his uncompromising perspective has shaped the wider world of today far beyond the NBA.Join Justin Quinn, Alex Goldberg, and Cameron Tabatabaie as they remember the Russell that inspired them in more ways than the story 11 rings can tell as we memorialize not only an NBA and Celtics great, but one of the most important figures of the last century.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
