Another vote for LeBatard. His interviews do so much to humanize players, especially compared to the pre-game horseshit personal interest stories that fall back on schmaltzy music and soft lighting. I share these videos when I hear folks talking about athletes as privileged or as "thugs." Tamba Hali talks about escaping Liberia and transitioning into America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKChBo_ycC8 Kyle Turley on concussions driving him into depression and thoughts of suicide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xKfrHzb9cs Teddy Bridgewater talking about living in poverty and supporting his mom while she dealt with breast cancer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaCmCXBNpJE Also looking forward to seeing Bomani do some more solo interviews. Seems like he's picking up the craft of having a deeply personal conversation within the constraints of time and ESPN's rules.
