  • FaceTime with Baseline ft NYTimes Best Selling Author Shea Serrano

    FaceTime with Baseline ft NYTimes Best Selling Author Shea Serrano
    Nov 14 2025
    Join us for a special edition of FaceTime with The Baseline featuring best-selling author and cultural commentator Shea Serrano. Hosted by co-host Warren Shaw, this episode dives into Serrano’s latest book, Expensive Basketball, a captivating exploration of basketball’s unquantifiable magic beyond the box-score. Shea opens up about his journey — from middle-school science teacher to four-time New York Times bestseller author (including hits like Basketball (and Other Things).

    He shares how Expensive Basketball reframes iconic players, moments and games — from the final 196 seconds of Kobe Bryant’s career to the fearless artistry of Tim Duncan and the motion poetry of Sue Bird — through the lens of emotion, memory and what a truly great hoop moment feels like.

    In this wide-ranging conversation, Serrano talks about writing with humor and heart, the evolving culture of basketball storytelling, and how Expensive Basketball pushes back against the era of numbers-only analysis in sports. Whether you’re a die-hard NBA fan or simply love stories that make you feel the game, this episode is a must-listen.

    🎧 Tune in as we go beyond stats, dig into storytelling, and celebrate why basketball — at its most “expensive” — is still poetry in motion.

    Nov 4 2025
    In this week’s episode of The Baseline, we hit the court running with News and Notes, as Trae Young goes down with a sprained MCL expected to sideline him for four weeks and Ja Morant headlines a dramatic start to the 2025-26 NBA season.

    Then, in our featured segment “Impress Me,” we spotlight the teams and players making noise early — the Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, and San Antonio Spurs have each turned heads with strong starts, fueled by rookie impact performances and veteran leadership. We also dive into the resurgence of Jrue Holiday in Portland, where he’s reminding fans why he’s still one of the league’s most reliable two-way guards.

    🎧 Tune in as The Baseline breaks down the storylines that impress us most in the NBA’s opening weeks — from breakout rookies to redemption arcs and everything in between.

    All Bets Are Off: Inside the NBA’s Gambling Scandal & Players on the Hot Seat
    Oct 27 2025
    We break down the shocking details behind the FBI’s Operation Nothing But Bet and Operation Royal Flush, a gambling scandal shaking the NBA to its core.

    With over 30 arrests tied to organized crime, insider betting, and underground poker rings involving figures like Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and Damon Jones, this case has rewritten the conversation around integrity in professional basketball.

    Then, in our “Do It or Don’t” segment, we shift focus from off-court chaos to on-court stakes — spotlighting Jonathan Kuminga, Jabari Smith, Benedict Mathurin, Deandre Ayton, Nikola Jović, Jaime Jaquez, and Shaedon Sharpe players facing make-or-break seasons in 2025-26.

    🎧 All Bets Are Off when it comes to the NBA this year — scandals, surprises, and stars fighting for redemption.
