Jon Wertheim on Sports in the Summer of 1984 | SI Media Podcast

Episode 344 of the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast hosted by Jimmy Traina features an interview with Sports Illustrated senior writer, author and 60 Minutes correspondent Jon Wertheim.

Wertheim has a new book out, Glory Days: The Summer of 1984 and the 90 Days That Changed Sports and Culture Forever. During the podcast, he discussed several topics covered in the book, including the animosity-filled relationship between Bobby Knight and Charles Barkley, the NBA Finals between the Celtics and Lakers that saw a referee pass out because of the oppressive heat inside Boston Garden, and Donald Trump's destruction of the USFL.
