ESPN and Andscape senior writer Marc J. Spears cut his teeth as a sports journalist writing on the Boston Celtics beat. His work then and on every beat since led to the renowned writer being inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a journalist this summer.
Deservedly so, but how does such an honor change the coverage he creates regularly, if at all? What stories does Spears have bookmarked in his mind of the days he spent covering the Boston beat during their last era of contention? The hosts of the CLNS Media “Cedric Maxwell” podcast, Maxwell and Josue Pavon, sat down with the former Celtics beat writer to talk about his great honor and time pushing pencils in the Hub.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what the trio had to say about the Hoops Hall honoring Spears for his outstanding work as a sports journalist in Boston and beyond.
