Welcome to the very first episode of The Stepback Pod!
In this episode we track the history and development of basketball from its creation by Dr James Naismith in 1891 to the first season of the NBA in 1949. The idea is to provide you with the necessary historical background before we start our player profiles with the very first NBA superstar - George Mikan.&nbsp;
Along the way, get to know us, your hosts Sam and Sati, and all the crap that we talk.
Disclaimer: We have our very first correction of the podcast series. The 2012 Rugby League World Club Challenge referred to in the podcast was actually played between the Manly Sea Eagles and the Leeds Rhinos. The Leeds Rhinos won 26 - 12.

Episode 1 - George Mikan, Mr Basketball

Step back in time with Sati and Sam as we profile the great players in NBA history.

The Stepback Pod will aim to provide historical context for all of your debates about the greatest players in NBA history. We will be discussing everything you need to compare players across eras: stats, accolades, rules, schemes and conditions.

More than that, we will be celebrating the NBA and the great players who have shaped it, starting with George Mikan at the inception of the league and making our way forward to modern greats such as Steph Curry. 

We look forward to having you along on this journey!
