On today’s show, Rohan is joined by Sports Illustrated contributor Chris Ballard. The pair dive deep into Chris’s latest cover story on LeBron James, and Rohan asks Chris why LeBron may have participated, about the process of interviewing LeBron and his two sons, and how LeBron as an interview subject has changed over the years. Chris also shares some of his favorite behind the scenes details of the story. Then, Rohan and Chris discuss some of his previous stories for SI, including his profile of former lottery pick Robert Swift, and what it was like to interview a post-Process Sam Hinkie.
