You probably know Will from his work on the <em>Chapo Trap House</em> podcast, but he is also a ball-knower extraordinaire and hardcore New York Knicks fan, and it was a treat to have him.</p>

<p>We talked about what makes the Knicks uniquely infuriating, the Luke Kornet Medium blog post about the <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/luke-kornet-urges-hawks-to-cancel-celebration-of-local-strip-club-the-nba-should--protect-and-esteem-women-202428240.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAA-rcPuOJ7PfNwPO-IDx5fcABhKKN221qRBlyl2vSUJkKiu4I5mP8qB2VqpBlPg6j3gwfmc45e5Wynkn9eo-7uC_wGZa2ANGJtb7aa72UccE7xWXv-NUcaWJoP0swHfvBfHfiALHR_JVfw762QX46fC9jOnnsnu7njCQIh0EgSxe">Atlanta Hawks' Magic City Night</a>, and why rooting for a bad team makes you a good person. We also spent the last half-hour or so talking about the state of NBA player activism and the ways that sports fandom is and is not a vector into learning about the world or developing a political consciousness. It was a fun one!</p>
