Bestselling author Rich Cohen joins Mase & Sue on the CULTURE POP PODCAST to discuss his latest book, When the Game was War, a gritty and uncensored account of the NBA’s 1987-1988 season, which he believes was the best in NBA history. They discuss the 4 players and teams that defined the season: Magic Johnson for the Lakers, Larry Bird for the Celtics, Isiah Thomas for the Pistons and Michael Jordan for the Bulls. Plus whether the more physical style of the 80’s is better to watch than the NBA’s current 3-point era. Also, timeshare madness in Mexico, sports fan angst, Taylor Swift’s ERAS concert film and what makes Pink such a compelling live performer.
