About Zack »

All around Sports fan, looking to read an article here and there and perhaps write once in a while as well. My favorite teams to watch are the Lakers & Cavaliers, specifically Kobe & LeBron. Don't you call me a band wagon jumper though I've followed LeBron since his Sophomore year of Highschool and as far as Kobe goes, Shaq the man who got me into Basketball way back brought me to the Lakers. I like watching gods among men compete I guess, and the competitive nature of Kobe is probably what makes him my favorite player to watch. Although as I've gotten older, I'm able to respect many other players who I hated to watch back in the day...i.e. Duncan.

Other then NBA, I enjoy UFC fights...GSP is amazing.
The Green Bay Packers at least the Favre era...I've lost a lot of interest in the NFL now that he's gone.
And most anything Wisconsin Badgers related.

Devin Harris represent.

You're welcome, Zach! Glad that you liked the edits. I totally agree with the formatting. When I joined the B/R community, I had the same reaction. But, with the guidance of B/R community members and continually using the B/R style guidelines, I began to get a handle on it. Here at B/R, we're a family, so anytime you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave a post and the help will be there for you. You did great on your first article! Keep it up!

Hey Zach,

Yao Ming has done so much for the game of basketball, that I felt compelled to write a tribute. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think! Again, I hope my passion comes through and it's a good read.

Thanks so much for the support :)
