After two months, four rounds, and nearly 300 articles, it was still too close to call. So Sean Stancill and Jeff Little will share top honors in the inaugural NBA Beat Writers competition.
Better than 30 Bleacher Creatures took part in the content initiative, following their NBA team throughout the postseason, and attracting more than 158,000 readers.
Senior Writer Jeff Little, a Los Angeles die hard, capitalized on his Lakers’ success, providing thorough, insightful coverage from the opening round to the NBA Finals aftermath.
With his Nuggets eliminated by those very Lakers, Stancill had to take a different route, digging deep into Denver draft analysis, offseason trade possibilities, and potential coaching change.
For their contributions, Stancill and Little both receive a $100 gift card to NBA.com.
Honorable mentions goes to two Celtics writers, Sean Crowe and Andrew Palumbo, who provided great coverage of Boston’s title run.
Thanks to all who participated.

I would like to thank Bleacher Report for assembling this contest, the Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers, and to all those that read my articles.
Rest assured the certificate will be used on the most influential Nugget player aquired this offseason.
