Om CHASING BASKETBALL HEAVEN
The 3-point shot is king in the NBA. So much so that people are asking if it’s ruining basketball. And while it seems like this all began 10 years ago with Steph Curry’s knack for shooting the ball, it actually goes back much further—to the curious world of a reclusive genius named Martin Manley. He only drank Pepsi, only listened to James Taylor, and decades before anyone saw it coming, predicted basketball’s future from a basement in Kansas. Then he vanished. And all he left was a website. From 30 for 30 Podcasts, Chasing Basketball Heaven follows two sports reporters as they take an unforgettable trip through basketball history to uncover the lengths a person might go to be remembered.
