On today's Rejecting the Screen, Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with Sports Reference's Mike Lynch, who takes the guys deep inside the inner workings of Basketball Reference, an invaluable resource for everyone basketball fan. Lynch answers the questions about the wild nicknames on the players' pages, dives into how not to compare players from different eras, reveals what's next for the site, and since he's a Philadelphia guy too, he names his all-time Philly 5 basketball players. You can follow Mike on Twitter @SportInfo247 where his pinned tweet is Adam's all-time favorite post.
