About

Erick Blasco is a 24-year old graduate of Brooklyn College with an M.S. in Media Studies.

He is a lifelong NBA fan who loves not only the awe-inspiring talents of NBA players, but also the strategic chess matches between a team trying to maximize its strengths, while attacking its opponent's weaknesses.

Besides writing for Bleacherreport.com, he freelances for the daily newspaper amNewYork.

Erick is a huge Florida Gators fan who is basking in the success of the school's recent football and basketball championships.

Erick is an encyclopedia of Simpsons quotes, loves Leslie Nielson movies, and lists T.S. Eliot, Lord Byron, and Douglas Adams as his favorite writers. He also lives on the block where the first tornado in over 100 years touched down in Brooklyn, New York. Obviously, God isn't a huge fan of Erick's, and sent a message accordingly.

    Get real . It is obvious you have no clue about the warriors or basketball. The warriors were dessimated with injuries all year long. All their bigs were hurt. Considering Nelson keep the team focused and playing hard should be acknowledged. Look at their stretch run at the end of the season. Erick Blasco?? has proven he is an abject failure at analyzing basketball
