About Drew »

Growing up I spent a lot of time playing basketball, baseball and golf. When the real world caught up I transferred my love of sports to the habits of watching a lot of games and writing about them. My loving wife supports my habit in our cozy little Portland bungalow

Thanks to BR, I recently interviewed Knicks legend Earl Monroe. Here is what he had to say on a variety of topics, including the current state of the Knicks!

Hey Drew!

The Lakers dominated Game 1 of the Finals with ease!! Rebounding, backcourt, frountcourt play, and great defense all attributed to a great win! And don't forget about Kobe! I just finished my recap of the game.

I hope you can take a look at it!
