We all want answers. We demand them, actually. From revered coaches, from players making history, from execs we’re convinced are up to no good. Every time one of them answers a question from us – the reporters, the fans – it reveals a small, unvarnished truth about them and about the games we love.
ESPN The Magazine’s “Interview” issue on newsstands Friday, November 30, features a who’s who of the top athletes and newsmakers in the world of sports from the past year, from Lebron James to Jeremy Lin to R.A. Dickey, and yes, Manny Pacquiao. The eight-division champ and Philippines Congressman Pacquiao offers his new outlook on life including more religion and less drinking, gambling and girls, and more.
No matter the interview, no question went unanswered.

In addition, ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap discussed his one-on-one with Pacquiao in detail as well as the “art of the interview” and more with The Mag’s Editor in Chief Chad Millman on his weekly podcast.
