About

If I were 6'5 and had an NBA body, and all of my basketball abilities were translated in proportion to NBA level, I would be Larry Hughes. He reminds me so much of myself on the court every time I watch him: limited court vision but can spot PG duties in short spurts, not an great finisher but can get to the rim, loves the crossover and handles the ball like a yoyo, plays great one-on-one perimeter defense but not a great shot blocker or a help defender, quick but can stand to gain some muscle mass, can learn to read the defense better. The only thing is that I believe I would be a better shooter, as I don't shoot on the way down and I don't have a hitch in my release.

However, I didn't grow to be 6'5, and I never spent thousands of hours in my formative years in the gym, so here I am, with a white collar job and bright light dreams, a lot of words to say and not so much game to back them up.

    The NBA Hall of Fame recently announced its 2010 nominees. Do you think Mark Jackson will be getting a call from the Hall?

    Hey, ya gotta like some team when you don't have one in your own town. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who likes Favre on here. It seems like every other article about his retirement is like "Favre Retires: Good Riddance" or "Green Bay Glad to be Rid of Favre." It just didn't make sense to me...until I wrote my own Favre retirement article, of course.

    Hey Roland,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Roland!
