I last spoke with Christian Crosby in late April.
During our conversation, the eminently likable host and entrepreneur talked me through his life and career first as a Sixers fan, and then as a trusted member of the team’s game presentation staff. We also talked about the bizarre and surreal nature of the Covid-19 pandemic and national quarantine we’d found ourselves in.
When we spoke again last week, the pandemic and quarantine hadn’t (meaningfully) changed much, but the national conversation sure had. Following the murder of George Floyd — another unarmed black man executed in the street by police — protesters across the country (and the world over) took to the streets to protest the racial inequality that has long permeated the justice system.
