About this listen

While the game and culture of basketball is discussed in various ways, writing arguably possesses the greatest way to cover the sport. And our special guest is proving why.


In this episode, we were joined by Deyscha 'Sway' Smith, an associate editor at SLAM, who has written cover stories about several of basketball's established stars including Cade Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown, and Kahleah Copper. Listen as the ultra-talented writer discusses how she fell in love with the game, the evolution of sports writing, what it's like working at SLAM, and more.
