## Resource

On this week’s episode of ‘The Old Man and the Three,’ the title doesn’t get much more explanatory. Cam Johnson and Tommy Alter are joined by the legendary astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to talk through some of his suggestions for the game of basketball and his athletic background growing up, as well as his most important scientific revelations of all time, unified theory in physics and the universe, and Neil’s dedication to space and his thoughts on aliens (which he wrote about in his book “Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter”) Let’s go!
