In this episode of The NBA Podcast, Morten Jensen (@msjnba) and Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) are joined by special guest Mirin Fader (@mirinfader) of The Ringer to discuss her new book, "Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP."

What was Mirin's inspiration to write a book about Giannis? How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect her reporting process? What surprised her the most while writing the book? How did she balance the on-court and off-court details about his life? Did she expect to break the internet with her chapter on Jason Kidd?

Check out the episode to hear Morten, Bryan and Mirin discuss all of that and more.
