congratulations on this milestone Marc, and thank you both for all the hard work - it's always a pleasure to read your stories/posts! I would also like to add that YES, please do launch a merch store, I'd love to rock one of your hats in London!
Woohoo! Congrats. Would love to see more power rankings and non-reported speculation on where you see #thisleague headed, in terms of teams, other leagues, players, expansion, etc. you have a wealth of basketball knowledge and we would love opinion pieces on basketball as much as grey lady style journalism on basketball. We’re here for your hot takes as much as your scoops!
And you are loved as well, Marc - a sports spirit kin to me in love of the game(s).
I am grateful that all teams are covered equally - as does Jake - it’s a magic combo!
I don’t want to lose your unique storytelling, calling back to an endless reel of hoops goodness from your years of top notch coverage. I’d love to see some Pepperidge Farm Remembers stories that loosely tie into the current league. For example, surely there is a Hollywood Harper story in there now that his son enters the league.
Stories about trades or rumors that never came to be are great, too. Triggers the rabbit hole of “what if” that surely mirrors the current possibilities as teams contemplate the latest wheeling and dealings.
Five years has been time well spent for me reading and supporting. As the great Bob Rathbun said once, “It’s Harvest Season, Jason!” - you guys delivered a bountiful information feast.
Thank you, and thank Jake, as well! Looking forward to another year.
I think I joined up as a paid subscriber in November 2021, about five months into the journey. I've loved every word I've read since. Thanks for the work you and Jake do and I'm excited for five more years. This substack makes me a smarter NBA observer, especially around transactions and what's possible in the modern NBA.
Thank you, Marc, for the inspiration you gave me to start No Harm No Foul. More importantly, you also help set the bar for what it means to cover the NBA with integrity.
congrats Stein, late to reading this one but would absolutely buy a future membership tier that gets us the hat, give the people merch!
Congrats on the new milestone. I've been here since Day 1 and I am not going anywhere. Jake has also been a great addition.
And I would totally rock a Stein Line hat at a Spurs game if they were available.

Slightly belated congratulations on your anniversary. You’ve worked hard for this and you’ve earned it!

And one of the those hats. 🙌
You do a great job with this SS and the partnership with Jake is a really nice bonus!!
Great information and a great read. Keep up the good work!

"Everyone in the industry is reading you."
That's awesome. Congrats, Marc! You and Jake set the bar high for the rest of the league's journalists.

Very, very kind of you to say.
We are all in on the Stein Line! Congratulations on your success. Keep it coming…NBA, Man U, travel, food, coffee, nostalgia, etc.
Oops…I googled and learned Manchester City and United are not the same…more soccer education needed. Sorry
All good. Soccer fandom is by no means a must here.
Please tell me the U after NBA was a typo!
Congratulations, guys! Well done! I stop everything and read every word as soon as it hits my inbox! #thisleague
Thank you so much for those kind words! Best to you and Nique and #eventhehawks!
