If you are a basketball fan, these are questions that could spark emotional debates. Yes! That intense.

As NBA, celebrates its 75th year this month, we talked to Mr. Dave Heeren, an award-winning journalist. A sportswriter who has seen literally NBA games first hand for its past 74 seasons. He is revered by his colleagues as the "OG" of basketball analytics. he is the creator of TENDEX, · basketball mathematical-statistical formula in order to determine the playing efficiency of basketball players. This creation landed him a job as a Statistician for his favorite basketball team, The New York Knicks.

This book features the NBA’s statistical history, its all-time greatest teams, and players, the best shooters, rebounders, and playmakers. One chapter features statistical evidence that TENDEX was much more effective in rating players for the NBA draft than were the league’s professional scouts. The book ends with a chart listing in order the 75 greatest players in NBA history.

Do you miss Travelling?

What if someone will tell you that you can travel different spots of the world, virtually, or at least reminisce the feel of traveling in just literally five lines? Let that someone be Mr. James B Anstead.

In this episode, Mr. Anstead and I discussed his book, Around the World in Five Lines.

It is a fun and whimsical collection of limericks inspired by countries all over the world! An avid traveler and dreamer, author James B. Anstead brings to us this fun and silly collection of fascination with the limerick and its special wordplay.

A Limerick Poetry is a five-line poem that consists of a single stanza, an AABBA rhyme scheme, and whose subject is a short, pithy tale or description. Most limericks are comedic, some are downright crude, and nearly all are trivial in nature. Enjoy!
