About

I got hooked on the NBA from the early 80's when Dr. J, Larry and Magic were the men.

I still looooooove the NBA. Chris Paul is my dogg these days.

I'm a New Media Producer for www.thescore.com Television Network in Toronto.

I also write - mainly NBA, but from travelling and living in Australia(Melbourne), England(London) and Canada(Toronto - or tronna as they say here!) means I follow Cricket, Aussie Rules, Soccer, Tennis, Olympics...pretty much everything...just NOT rugby !

One day, I hope to host NBA TV.

I have a blog - check it out: http://thedailyhurt.blogspot.com/

    Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.
