About this episode

Adam Miller and Caleb Yoder discuss fatherhood, basketball experiences, and the NBA's appeal to casual fans.

This one goes out to all the dads out there, including Adam Miller's own dad - John Miller. Adam is joined by his friend Caleb Yoder to discuss the lessons he has learned throughout fatherhood, the values he is trying to instill in his children, and the advice he would give to new fathers beginning that journey. The conversation then transitions to basketball as they revisit their church basketball tournament, discussing the preparation that went into the event and what Caleb's injury taught him about himself and his basketball ability. To close out the episode, they shift their focus to a question that has been on Adam's mind as another NBA season comes to an end: How is the NBA doing at attracting casual basketball fans, and what will ultimately keep them around? They discuss Caleb's growing interest in the league, what stood out about the Pacers' recent run, and what the NBA can continue doing to keep casual fans invested long term.
