About this episode
The episode explores the multifaceted career of Sergi Oliva in the NBA and his approach to coaching and strategy.
The great designer Miguel Milá often said that, during his years of learning, his father would repeat to him: “Be useful and you will be used.” This, I sense, is what Sergi Oliva embodies: someone who took off in Catalonia and landed in the NBA, where he has taken on roles in data analysis, strategy, assistant coach, head coach, and assistant general manager. What follows is my attempt —in Catalan— to figure out his secret. If you want it in English, head over to the YouTube video of the episode .
