In this episode, Addy, Britt, and Jesse are joined by Tiny Deaths musician and NBA writer for The Guardian Claire de Lune, whose latest piece on Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the new, balanced superstar — is not why she’s a guest, because we didn’t know that she was working on it.

Claire: Miami, Wisconsin
Addy: Arizona State, Columbia
Britt: Minnesota, Iowa
Jesse: Dartmouth, Navy
Between the time “the NBA offseason starts with a bang” was written above, and the time this sentence was written, Chris Paul got traded to Golden State. We can’t wait to have Claire back on the show for the next episode of NBA Drama.
