The Finder - Kirk Goldsberry & Brandon Payne

A man of many talents, Goldsberry is a professor of Sports Analytics at the University of Texas and has worked at ESPN and the San Antonio Spurs, and evidently, he is also a great producer.

Goldsberry’s changed the way we watch and talk about basketball, if not changed basketball itself. In his chapter on Stephen Curry, Goldsberry talked to our pal Brandon Payne, Curry’s longtime trainer, and shared a bunch of insights on what makes Curry one of one. You should pick up Goldsberry’s book wherever books are sold. Tell ‘em I sent ya!

We caught Payne just before he headed out to The Bay to run some workouts with Curry before he jets off to France for the Olympics this summer. As always, he shared so much wisdom with us about basketball, especially here in the States compared to abroad.

On this episode, we hit a bunch of topics:
The technology that Stephen Curry uses in workouts
Why the nose is so important
Why swishes aren’t good enough for Payne re: Steph
Goldsberry’s campaign to kill the corner 3
The return of the bigs
The problem with American youth basketball
What is Wemby going to do to basketball?
Are there too many 3s?
