All Things Knicks with Bootum

All Things Knicks with Bootum

The New York Knicks breakout season has been an underrated story this year in the NBA that I wanted to highlight. Who better than to break this Knicks season down than the one and only Bootum! Bootum is a super knowledgeable Knicks fan who breaks down their roster build, Julius Randle's breakout year, Elfrid Payton woes, Thibs style and a bunch of other topics. It was a super fun and informative episode & I am looking forward to having Bootum on the pod again soon! 

You have probably seen Bootum on NBA Twitter, read on his viral Reddit posts or seen one of his lowlights videos. Here are some links where you can find his content. As mentioned in the podcast, the Nerlens Noel No Hands video is a must watch.

Re Drafting the 2017 NBA Draft with Paul Curtis

Paul Curtis joins Baker and Browns once again for a Zoom recorded episode redrafting the first 14 picks of the 2017 NBA Draft. Our goal was to formulate the best possible team and pick guys who trajectory is high in our opinions. A pretty similar list with a few disagreements to make it interesting. There is a slight technical difficulty at Nate's 10th pick as the Zoom call cut out. We both think that this draft will go down as one of the best for the decade.
