About

I have found Bleacher Report to be an amazing platform for the serious sports fan. Nowhere else on the net can you sift through storylines on countless sports from every possible angle. The writers here also write with an incredible passion—it’s not your local humdrum sportswriter putting you to sleep.

I love all sports but hockey is the best. If you've ever watched a live NHL game, you will understand only a small part of what I’m talking about. But if you've had the privilege of playing organized hockey as a kid—then you’ve felt that inescapable adrenaline rush that comes from flying from one end of the ice to the other, with an exponentially increasing inertia like momentum, then turning on a dime at impossible angles to take a well aimed slap shot. And yes, it takes lots of skills.

As an NBA Feature writer on B/R, I’ll obviously be concentrating my attention on the NBA but from time to time and just for the fun of it, I will drift off to NFL and NHL sports coverage.

    How about the Hornets win over the Spurs?!! Very impressive. After a skid, the Hornets seem to be doing better lately.
