I just found your Substack thanks to someone restacking it to the new Notes feature. I can't find the Note to thank whoever pointed me in this direction, but I am glad I've arrived!
As I got towards the end and saw that you were bringing the directional disorientation back to comment on the state of the upcoming playoffs I was so delighted that I sort of made an involuntary sound somewhere between a sigh of relief (imagine you've just cracked your neck so loud that the person next to you asks if you're ok) and an ahh of satisfaction (imagine a drink of water on a hot day from a water bottle that was frozen and is still mostly ice).
Thanks for this! I just started a Substack of my own, where I recommend my three favorite reads of the week. I'll definitely be including this post!
Thank you so much for this incredible note, Spencer! The feeling you described is the one I think all writers are chasing. That I landed it for you here, and that you found Basketball Feelings in such a roundabout way, is such an encouraging thing to read. And thanks so much for sharing this post!
