On today’s edition of Leonard Lopate At Large, Leanord has a conversation with Dan Klores about his creation of the twenty-hour series, “Basketball: A Love Story“‘
“Basketball: A Love Story” — directed by filmmaker Dan Klores, who made the 30 for 30 doc “Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks” — has been structured in a way to make it consumable in manageable bites. Though the series is a mostly male-dominated affair, the parts that cover the women’s game are especially compelling because those stories aren’t told as frequently. Nancy Lieberman, a Basketball Hall of Famer and current assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings, talks about being told to “act like a girl” when she was growing up, and recalls how she ignored that advice, eventually playing as the only women on a men’s professional team in the United States Basketball League.” – Jen Chaney, Vulture
