About Johnny »

My name is Johnny Russo, I am 20 years old and I am looking to pursue a career in the sports media/journalism field. I am from Cleveland, Ohio and I am a big Cleveland sports fan (especially the Cavs). I have been following the Cavs since day one and I am not just on the Lebron James bandwagon. I have been writing articles on high school sports for the Sun News for over a year now and I am also working with Sportstalk Cleveland Radio. I have been through a lot in my life and I learned to stay positive and hope my future is bright.

I have just published the NBA All Underrated Team. I bet that most of the positions will come as shocking. LeBron James is leading the pack. Want to see who else made the list?

Great writing style for someone so young. I am a fairly new contributor and will probably read most of your articles on here. When you have a chance, give my article(s) a read too. I've only written one article but I would definitely appreciate feedback.

I know it's sacrilegious for a life-long Chicagoan to compare anyone to MJ, but I done did it:
