Larry Nance Jr. Is the NBA’s Biggest Soccer Fan

Author: Major League Soccer / Apple TV July 17, 2024 Duration: 29:39
Larry Nance Jr. has been in the NBA for almost a decade. But his true love isn’t basketball. It’s soccer. On this week’s episode, Taylor sits down with Larry, a forward for the Atlanta Hawks, to learn what sparked his passion for the beautiful game. The first pro soccer match Larry attended was a Galaxy game when he was a rookie with the Lakers, and last year he became a part owner of Leeds United in England’s Championship division. Larry also shares what it was like playing with Kobe and LeBron and talks about why the debate over those two greats is tougher for him than the Messi vs. Ronaldo question. Offside With Taylor Twellman is a Major League Soccer podcast, produced by Apple TV and Rain Delay Media.

Taylor Twellman has spent over two decades immersed in the American soccer landscape, first as a prolific MLS striker and now as its most candid analyst. Offside With Taylor Twellman channels that entire journey into a conversation that’s as unpredictable as the sport itself. This isn't a standard press conference; it’s where the real stories from the pitch, the front office, and the fan culture get told. You’ll hear from players, coaches, and insiders who trust Taylor’s direct approach, leading to interviews that are less about polite questions and more about genuine, revealing dialogue. The podcast digs into breaking news, tactical shifts, and the larger narratives shaping Major League Soccer and the U.S. soccer ecosystem, all filtered through Twellman’s experienced-and frequently humorous-perspective. His "possibly offside attitude" means no topic is out of bounds, and no hot take is left unspoken. It’s a front-row seat to the personalities and pressures driving the game forward. For anyone invested in where American soccer is headed, this series offers an essential, unfiltered audio companion, bringing listeners closer to the sport’s beating heart with every episode.
