Paul Shirley played professional basketball for eight years for such teams as the Atlanta Hawks and the UNICS of Kazan, Russia. He is also the author of two memoirs, 'Can I Keep My Jersey?', which chronicles his years on the court, and 'Stories I Tell On Dates', which chronicles his life on the court of love. The latter is now a hilarious new podcast of the same name. On this episode of Write About, Paul talks about what basketball taught him about writing. He also tells some classic stories about dodging bottle rockets on a Greek basketball court and enduring his mother's sex-ed classes at his middle school.
