About

I have been contributing to Bleacher Report since June 2010. I previously covered MMA for Real Sports Net and the San Antonio Spurs for Sports Haze. All my life I have been a devout fan of pro wrestling and basketball. Other favorite sports include K-1, golf, motorsports, baseball, football, tennis and MMA. One of my idols is the greatest sports coach of all-time Phil Jackson. My outlandish sports dreams include playing in the World Series of Poker and owning an Indy 500 team. My other interests include music, playing the guitar, movies, books, television, history, and politics. Feel free to contact me.

    Sorry to inform you, but, the bulls are trying to build around Derrick Rose. And looking for the perfect sidekick for HIM. If James is SOOO good... why after 7 years the Cavs are still trying to win a championship and still trying to build around him!?!?! That's saying something (OVERRATED). Rose is the savior of a historic franchise, Rookie of the Year, 21 year-old All-Star, Tied Kareem's record for playoff points as rookie, transcendent skill (skill nobody has ever witnessed before), he's a 1980's Michael Jordan, but more athletic, 4th highest selling nba jersey in just his 2nd year, dunk on dragic, dunk in ATL, block on Scal, cross on Miller, dunk on Oden,....and he's just goin in his 3rd year.We were able to see all the things that defined Jordan’s career because he was “the man” on the team. If you had put Magic with Jordan, do you think we would’ve seen all those AMAZING career defining moments by each one of those individuals!? I think not. Rose has taken the league by storm just like a 1980's Michael Jordan. James has had 7 years of chances. Don't insult the basketball Gods. And let Derrick Rose shine! People are saying we are in the golden age of the nba, well, I wonder who's Magic and Bird, and who is Jordan ; )
