About Nick »

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 that came before him.

I published the LeBron article on my facebook notes page and it received a great response. The comments were flooding in.

At that point I thought, "maybe I have something here..."

Check out my first ever B/R article

http://northstationsports.com/2009/05/09/lebron-is-the-2009-nba-mvp-lets-leave-history-out-of-this/

After the surprising response to my first article, I decided to start a blog. Originally named The Boston Celtics News Station, the first few posts were rough and received little online exposure.

As time wore on, my readership grew and today, the newly dubbed North Station Sports has grown at a shocking pace.

I would be honored if you joined our email subsciption to recieve North Station Sports updates in your person inbox.

I would love to hear from you!

You can email me comments, suggestions, questions and concerns. I can be reached at northstationsports@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your gripping comments on my posts published at North StationSports and B/R.

PS - I'm currently in pursuit of some fresh and well informed writers to join North Station Sports. If you are interested, please mail me at my personal email address OR thru B/R.

Thanks!

As a Knicks Featured Columnist, I will be making periodical attempts to give fans an inside look at the different aspects of Knicks games. Take a look at what I came up with when Lebron James came to visit.

Everyone has dreams of playing a professional sport. Sirr Parker did in football. But it was impossible for him to do that from where he grew up. But he made it, and he's truly remarkable. It's a story I'd love to share with you:

Hey guys, I am back with my series Does Anyone Remember...? Today, I write about a stellar, strong, running back. His career may not be all that great, but he was pretty good, I swear. Let's hope you remember Kevan Barlow:
