Some Legends of Sport... wrote the legends themselves! Andy chats with writer/author Leigh Montville! The former columnist for The Boston Globe & senior writer for Sports Illustrated shares his path to becoming a writer, how the art of sports writing has changed, his opinion of modern sports journalism, and his book, "Tall Men, Short Shorts 'The 1969 NBA Finals: Wilt, Russ, Lakers, Celtics, And A Very Young Sports Reporter'". Andy & Leigh also discuss Wilt Chamberlain vs Bill Russell, why he calls the 1969 Los Angeles Lakers the first 'Super Team', and Leigh tells a few stories about Johnny Most & Chick Hearn.
