Your host
My name is Dan Woike, and IĄ¯m the Lakers beat writer for The Times. I previously covered the NBA for the paper and have written about the league for over a decade.
IĄ¯m originally from Chicago, I think Ą°Hoop DreamsĄ° is the best sports movie ever, love deep dish (but would rather have some amazing Chicago thin crust) and, despite thinking I once was cool, now mostly listen to music that can be best described as relaxing (check out the song of the week at the end of the newsletter).
IĄ¯ve covered the NBA for nearly a decade now. If you have good restaurant recommendations near Long Beach, a favorite beer youĄ¯re drinking or a basketball take you just have to get off your chest, you can find me on Twitter, or email me at daniel.woike@latimes.com.
