Keeping It 100-Proof with Henry Abbott

Back with another great edition of Keeping it 100-Proof featuring another one of my favorites, Henry Abbott, Founder of TrueHoop. We cover the everchanging media landscape, his fearless investigative journalism, LeBron’s storytelling strategy, and his new book.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Big Board Comparison, April

April has just begun, but we already have new big boards from The Ringer, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and ESPN. After some memorable tournament runs, it’s no surprise that Clingan, Castle, Edey and Knecht are moving up.

Loving this J-Dub pic for a iphone wallpaper. Gotta support the @okcthunder playoff run! Updated mock draft comparison and big board comparison for March are live on the hoopsdistillery.com featuring Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, the @noceilingsnba crew, Jonathan Wasserman/B/R, and @kevinoconnor/The Ringer. Back with another great edition of Keeping it 100-Proof featuring another one of my favorites, Henry Abbott, Founder of @true.hoop! …and these short videos of the @spurs rookie sensation @wemby warming up. Amazing on tv and hard to believe in person! Forgot to post photos from a @Celtics vs @spurs game last month. This was a beaut of Sam Cassell working with Tatum before the game. February came quickly, and with it came new mock drafts and big boards to compare and analyze from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony + Jeremy Woo/ESPN, the No Ceilings crew, Tankathon, and yours truly at Hoops Distillery. Johnny Furphy and Kyshawn George rising quickly! (Links in bio!) All eyes are on college basketball and NBA All-Star selections, but we’re shifting our focus to the 2024 Olympics in Paris to work through the challenge of deciding which 12 players should be invited in order to ensure a gold medal. (link in bio!) Fun outing last night to a highly entertaining @celtics vs @atlhawks potential 1st round playoff preview. Very happy to announce the launch of Keeping it 100-Proof: a new series of Q&A's with a variety of interesting people who have roles within the basketball world that we love so much.
