  "textContent": "The great Hanif Abdurraqib joined us this week on _Nothing But Respect_. You are probably familiar with Abdurraqib's work as a poet, author, journalist, and subject of a Giri Nathan profile, which was timed to the release of Abdurraqib's 2024 book, _There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension_.\n\nWe talked a bit about the book, a good amount about his beloved Minnesota Timberwolves, and a lot about the forthcoming NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs. I also asked Abdurraqib to give us his own scouting report, which he generously provided. This was a fun one!\n\nhttps://art19.com/shows/nothing-but-respect/episodes/3f32c963-2f70-4be5-9a6d-fa95bcb693ce",
