Running. Through the 6ix. With my Woj. (I’ve maybe used that joke too many times now.)
NBA mega-reporter Adrian Wojnarowski recently launched a new project at Yahoo Sports called The Vertical, which includes a podcast that is already establishing itself as one of the most must-listen insider podcasts going for basketball fans. His latest guest is Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey, and while I haven’t yet been able to give it a listen, you probably should.
You can check out the audio here.

There aren’t going to be many major pieces of information or trade deadline intel, but Casey has a great backstory and Woj is a sharp interviewer, so it’s sure to be an entertaining hour. Here’s the description, from The Vertical:
In a wide-ranging and candid interview, Casey discusses everything from coaching the contending Raptors to growing up in the segregated south to the scandal at Kentucky that nearly cost him his career and good name.
Woj, by the way, was at the premiere of Masai Ujiri’s Giants of Africa documentary last night, too. I’m told it’s fantastic.
