About

I'm a junior at Penn State majoring in Print Journalism. My favorite sports are professional basketball and football, particularly basketball. If I'm not watching or playing sports in my free time, I can be found eating chinese food, putting off my homework and creating horrible fake trades in the NBA 2K series (my favorite being DeMarcus Cousins and a first-rounder for LeBron).

    Glad I could help, Luke. It was a great read, and there really weren't that many typos so don't worry about that!

    Luke, you really got trolled on that "swag" piece. I just wanted to say that I thought the criticism was unwarranted and entirely off-base. Additionally, I thought it was a great read and legitimately LOL inducing. Keep up the fine work.

    Hey Luke, i was reading this article http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1463911-how-long-will-it-take-healthy-lakers-to-reach-peak-form, more than an article it s an essay about Lakers problems... Liked a lot last paragraph, specially this: "The Lakers won't reach their peak level—a championship-caliber level—until D'Antoni gives them a new play style and until they start generating some team chemistry on and off the court"... it seems they are finding out that new play style. Regards

    Hey Luke. I meant that you only have to link once if you go to a website for stats multiple times in an article. You should still source them, and if it's a long article and there's a gap between mentions, I think it would be okay.

    Luke, Good article on the NBA's next dunkers but you forgot James "Flight" White on the Knicks... If he gets in this years dunk contest he will win with a between the legs dunk from the free throw line.

    Okay, I was a bit curious afterwards if that may have been the case, but I didn't spend too much time on it and assumed there was a formatting issue, which can happen if you're copying and pasting from a Word document or something like that. And for a long slideshow, it was pretty easy for me to edit and I thought you did well overall. It was a funny article, so keep it up.
