Mark's Bio

My name is Mark Brown. I'm 14 years old and have been completely in love with basketball since I was 10 years old, when I saw Steve Nash hit a three pointer against Dallas in Game 6 of the 2005 Western Conference Finals. Since then, I have followed the game and have grown to love everything about it.

I have no idea why I chose to make my profile name LALALA, but I really regret it. It makes me look like an idiot, but whatever. We all have our regrets in life.

Scratch that: PLEASE NOTE: MY PROFILE NAME "MARK" USED TO BE "LALALA", BUT I HAVE CHANGED IT.

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.

Mark,

I thought you might like this piece. It’s not just your standard “breaking news” piece about a trade, although it does note the trade of Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins to the Boston Red Sox. Let me know what you think in the comments section.

I just completed a new article on my beloved Blue Devils and the season outlook for the team. I list every possible contributor on the team, and what their potential is for the new season. If you have a chance, please give it a look. Thanks!
