Writer bio

I have been an avid basketball fan my entire life.

Following the NBA and the Boston Celtics for 25 years, I have lived through the prime and retirement of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan.

I have fond memories of Doctor J. and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's retirement tours.

I have sad recollections of the demise of the Celtics organization in the post Larry Bird Era and I have gripping memories of the resurrection of the organization in 2008.

I started writing about the NBA in April of 2009. The media coverage of LeBron James' MVP announcement drove me to insanity. It particularly aggravated me that the media constantly made everything LeBron historic and legendary.

For a player not yet to win a title, in my opinion, these comparison were insulting to the NBA legends...

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.

Writer bio

I'm an English professor at a university in Baltimore. Basketball is one of my passions, both playing it and watching it. I played ball in highschool, but being a 6'3" power forward in D-I college wasn't an option, so I opted for academics, and played hardcore intermurals at Notre Dame, UCONN, and Delaware. I started to get some of the typical injuries in my 30s--torn achilles tendon, ACL and miniscus tears--but I still play at my gym, with a big old terminator-looking brace on my knee. I suppose I'll quit when I can't walk anymore. It's still fun when I can get on a team of guys who know how to pass, rebound, and play D.

Writer bio

I started with Bleacher Report in March 2008 and had a great time reading, reviewing, and of course writing the various columns hosted here. I took a year-long hiatus when I moved into a new role at a new company. But just like Jordan, I came back.

I'm not the most frequent poster or the edgiest, but the thing I enjoy the most is starting good conversations and debate. So at times my pieces can get heated, controversial, and even ludicrously biased, but it's all done with the end goal of sparking discussion.

As for my background, I grew up in central Massachusetts and have stayed loyal with my sports teams through thick and thin. It's been a great decade for Boston, arguably the most successful sports city in the country during the past decade, but it wasn't that way the previ...

I am a huge New England Sports fan. My favorite teams are the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics, and I'll sometimes turn on a Bruins game.

I became a sports fan when I was 7-years-old. I remember sitting in my cousin's house, watching Adam Viniatieri's field goal being lined up and kicked. For the first time in my life, I had experienced an adrenaline rush from a sport. It was brilliant, and my love carried on to the Sox and C's.

I appreciate it when people post articles on my B/R page, because it lets me find the articles that aren't necessarily on the front page.

I really love writing, analyzing and discussing sports in general. I essentially followed my heart, and created a website to incorporate this. My website is called New England Sports Online, and can be visited through th...

Stephen Brotherston is another frustrated long time Toronto Maple Leafs hockey fan, who started going to Raptor games in the “Skydome” and became a Raptors season ticket holder.

These posts represent just one Raptors season ticketholder's view as seen from behind the basket. The game is different in person as opposed to on TV or in the boxscore - and a lot more fun to watch!

Also very interested in Canadian politics and “green” issues (and the lack of attention they get at the federal level). Former executive of the Progressive Conservative You...

It all started on a message board.

Tom's articles appear on Celtics Stuff Live on ComcastSportsNet/Celtics, and Tom is the creator of CelticsCentral at the Connecticut Post.

Celtic fan. UConn fan (and alma mater). I saw Bill Russell play in his later years.

The chaotic sixties and was nothing less than a wild daily ride. Sports was a big part of it then, as it is now. As with songs, you marked periods of your life with certain sports events.

Before Kobe, Michael, Magic, and Larry, there was Bill.

Local school courts. Wearing out shoes. Huge blisters. I was pretty bad, but I did two things well - play defense and could pass pretty well. I knew I improved when I went from being the last guy picked when sides were chosen, up to 3rd to last. Little victories.

Loved ...

I am 26 years old and from Washington, DC. In real life I play a newspaper reporter. I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2006 with a degree in English.

My favorite teams are the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Red Sox, New York Giants and Virginia Tech Hokies. I consider myself a modern fan, in that geography doesn't dictate my teams. My teams have been pretty fortunate of late, but I was also there through the Danny Kannell and Tim Naehring days, so please don't think I'm a fair-weather fan.

I also try to foot for my hometown teams the Nationals, Capitals and Wizards, but not if they play the above teams.

The teams I hate are numerous, and they grow with each passing season. A few of the more obvious include the New York Yankees, Miami Hurricanes, San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Co...

I'm a Journalism/Mass Communications major in Arizona. I've written for the Glendale Community College newspaper, The Voice, working as a sports editor and later as the managing editor. My ambition is to go into sports writing and/or broadcasting on a professional level, hopefully for the NBA.

I've always been a fan of basketball, whether it's watching, playing or writing on it. Playing is how I tore my ACL on my left knee, which was operated on in May, 2008. I'm currently doing intense rehab and physical therapy to get back to playing the sport I love.

I do public address announcing for basketball, volleyball, baseball and other athletic activities on the high school and junior college level.

My main site is RedSoxmaniac.Com and soon to be Gdwire.com . I currently write on the side as well. Most of my writing is based on the love of the game, and not always rooting for my beantown teams. If you need weekly picks for any sport, I can run you up some guarantees.

I like doing projects of all kinds. If you have anything you would like to interest me, from sports to business to roaming pandas, feel free to email me. If I critique you, its usually because you are too subjective in your understanding of sports, and fail to see the big picture.

This happens to me as well, and hope someone shoots me down if I offer to slanted an ideology on a specific topic. I probably won't concede to the current Manny-bashing. He's an ass, but there would be more suicide...
