Dan Klores tells Leonard about his 20-part ESPN series "Basketball: A Love Story." (10/29/18) - a podcast by Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

“‘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. On Monday’s installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, “Basketball: A Love Story” director Dan Klores talks about what went into creating this unique take on the sport.
