  • Cultural critic, poet, and best-selling author Hanif Abdurraqib joins Michael Kosta to discuss his new book “There’s Always This Year” and how the game of basketball can illuminate our understanding of time, urgency, and mortality. Abdurraqib reflects on turning 40, how to reframe aging, the kind of ascension we should strive for, and how to utilize nostalgia as a tool for improvement. #DailyShow #Basketball #MichaelKosta

    Ok so this is the first time I have ever heard of this person. After this interview I love him. I just jumped on amazon and ordered his book. I can't wait to read it.

      Hanif is a modern treasure. I heartily recommend his poetry book 'A Fortune for your Disaster'.

    "Ascension, not necessarily as something that sends you upward, but anything that moves you from the place you were to the place you're going. And sometimes that place, geographically is the same, but is emotionally different. Is mentally different." 💎

    What a fantastic interview! I've been lucky to have been in Hanif's orbit for many years now and it's awesome to see how far he's come since the first time my jaw dropped seeing him recite a poem at the 2014 National Poetry Slam. This was also my first time even hearing of Michael Kosta and he really made a slam dunk with Hanif here!

    0:58 I had never heard of the book or the author. This I was unexpected and just engaging. I can’t wait to get this book. From the interview I think it will be useful for myself but also as a way to engage with my friends and children.

    Where does this guy get off being a pro athlete AND a fantastic author? Don't even get me started about this whole thing with being interesting when you talk.
    "Nostalgia is an endless hustler"... I just enjoyed this phrase so much. If I had a higher tolerance for pain I'd get it as a tattoo.

      It's easy to hide behind a byname as your I.D. and write that. I challenge you to show the world your name and your picture. That would be too hard. I know a weakling pretending to be a man when I see comments like yours.
