About

While I enjoy watching and following all sports, the NBA is my true passion. My first NBA memory is watching the 1994 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Rockets. And yes, I remember Game 5 being interrupted with the O.J. police chase.

I am a featured columnist for the Los Angeles Lakers here on Bleacher Report. While I love the Lakers, I try to be as objective as possible when writing about them. I hope you enjoy all my work and leave as much feedback as possible.

    Hi, Josh. Lakers' Scariest Scorers, enjoyable. Pecadillo: Pau Gasol, slide 7/22, may pay great compliments to Kobe, but he complements his scoring.
