Hello, my name is Hadarii Jones. I have been a sports fan all of my life and have a particular love for roundball. I will write about other sports however, because I feel myself drawn to the emotion and the drama and the spectacle of different sports. I would like to thank Bleacher Report for giving me a platform in which to share my views in a debatable manner. Since I have been a member I have been witness to some amazing writers. I won't call any names, but thank you for the criticism, and for helping me grow as a writer.

A sportswriter is neither a homer nor a fan. Instead, a sportswriter is a fan of the game, a fan of the sport he or she is covering. Though we might have favorite teams that we root for, when it comes to reporting, we call them as we see them.

We heap praise or lay blame whenever or wherever we feel it is justified. Even our favorite team’s most hated adversary can receive our profound admiration. And our team’s most beloved player or coach can be the subject of our admonition.

I am a sportswriter. It’s as plain and simple as that. I have no problem calling out the players and coaches that I admire when I feel their actions warrant it. But the game itself remains beyond reproach.

In addition to sportswriting, I have been a screenwriter, a media writer and an educator. A...

If I were 6'5 and had an NBA body, and all of my basketball abilities were translated in proportion to NBA level, I would be Larry Hughes. He reminds me so much of myself on the court every time I watch him: limited court vision but can spot PG duties in short spurts, not an great finisher but can get to the rim, loves the crossover and handles the ball like a yoyo, plays great one-on-one perimeter defense but not a great shot blocker or a help defender, quick but can stand to gain some muscle mass, can learn to read the defense better. The only thing is that I believe I would be a better shooter, as I don't shoot on the way down and I don't have a hitch in my release.

However, I didn't grow to be 6'5, and I never spent thousands of hours in my formative years in the gym, so here I ...

What can I say? I'm a life long sports fan whose earliest memories are going to Reds & Bengals games with my dad. Growing up in Cincy in the 70's & 80's I was naturally a Reds and Bengals fan and I've maintained my allegiances even though I've been in South Florida for the last 20 years. Of course, I've taken an interest in the Marlins and Dolphins and I count myself as a casual Heat fan and a die-hard Panthers fan.

I am a proud graduate of THE Ohio State University and a Bucks fan to the bitter end.

I love NASCAR and have had the incredible opportunity to be on several tracks, in the pits and in the garage areas before, during and after several races, including several appearances in Victory Lane. Homestead-Miami Speedway is my favorite.

My love of sports is what...

Whatsup bleacher. My name is Omar Johnson. I am a Morgan State University graduate born in Los Angeles, California and raised in New Jersey.

I am a die hard fan and student of the game of basketball. I come from a family tree that has been Laker fans since the days of Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. So you can pretty much guess the Lakers are my favorite team. However, I am a fan of the game, so I refrain from personal biases. My favorite basketball players of all time are Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Kobe Bryant, and Penny Hardaway. I also have love for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and underrated players like Kevin Johnson.

My favorite football teams are the Rams and the Steelers. My favorite football player of all time and (the G.O.A.T in my opinion) is none other than th...
