Writer bio
Ello....I am here to rep the Utah Jazz the only way I know how, if you dont like it...oh well. :)
I go to the University of Utah, currently studying Philosophy. Medical school is next. I work full time at a great place with awesome people. I have many goals and I will acheive all of them however I can. I am happily married to the sexiest man alive. I love to draw, sing, read about anything, learn about anything, school dudes playing texas hold 'em and basically just trying to get better at whatever I do in my life day by day.
Writing for me is a release, I usually write poetry and other things. I dont claim to be a writer just a female who knows alot about basketball who likes to voice her opinion in her own way.

6 - Rojo Grande
Writer bio
Sixty-year-old former athlete, soldier, jack-of-all-trades. My heart still wants to run that 4 minute mile and pole vault 16 feet, but my body says "not today, big fella". So, I'm resigned to my present job as chief poop-scooper on my wife's Standard Poodle ranch. We live in the hills of southern Oregon and I occasionally get some time off to shoot guns, play guitar and write. What a life!

I'm a 27 year old college student and a lifelong fan of the NBA. I followed a fellow message board writer over here and decided to see what insight I could contribute over here. I'm a huge Jazz fan, and most of my articles will be about the team I love, but I may branch out into other things as I look around the league.

Writer bio
Hi everyone. The name is Pete "The Greek" Treperinas. I'm 17 years old and I'm a senior at Shorewood High School. I live in Seattle, and consider myself a die-hard Seahawks, Mariners, Sonics (RIP), and Oregon Ducks fan. Someday I hope to pursue a career in broadcasting or journalism. Now that the Sonics are gone I'm a Blazers fan, so we'll try that this year and see how it goes. It feels pretty weird not having a team up here in Seattle though. My ultimate goal here at B/R is to become a senior writer.

Writer bio
I am just your average guy who works from 9-5. I have bills, I have school assignments, I have creditors after my money and I have student loans that seem never ending. I also happen to have some very biased opinions about sports... hence the reason that I am a Bleacher Reporter.
I am currently doing an editing internship with Bleacher Report and would love to read anyone's stories about anything. I'm also the Atlanta Braves Community Leader and welcome all my fellow Braves fans in mourning to join me in looking toward next season.
I am in my third year of writing for The Daily Herald in Utah County , and I am currently writing for RealGM.com. I also work for the Utah Flash NBA Development League with the Director of Media Relations, writing the gamers and some press releases as d...

Utah born and raised and yet my sports fanship runs from Miami to Chicago thru Denver and back to Salt Lake and Provo. I played baseball in high school and college and am partial to that sport, however, I love pretty much all sports and games. I live for competition. Nothing is more exciting than proving yourself better than the other guy. I am a father of four little ones and husband to what I consider the most beautiful girl in the world. GO JAZZ, COUGARS, DOLPHINS, BEARS, CUBS, and ROCKIES.

Writer bio
It all started on a message board. Actually I've had a frustrated writer inside me for years.
Celtic fan. UConn fan (and alma mater). I saw Bill Russell play in his later years.
As a small child, even then, mentally juxtaposing the change from the platonic late 50's to the chaotic, dynamic cultural changes of the sixties was a wild ride. Sports was a big part of it then as it is now. As with songs, you marked periods of your life with certain sports events.
Me? A doer of many things. renaissance man with a small 'r'. I wish I had time to do and read much more than I do. Something called work gets in the way every day. Don't ask. I won't tell.
I write better than I played. I think better than I write. But I played a lot. I mean basketball on local school courts. Dead of wi...

Writer bio
I live for basketball. It's my life.
I'm 24 years old, live in Kansas (yeah, middle of nowhere). I'm a huge Lakers fan, been one since 1996 (Kobe's rookie season). My job consists of working on computers all the time, web design, sportswriting, and running OTRBasketball.com. If you don't find me doing any of that, I'll be playing or watching basketball, or pretty much what everyone does, hanging out with friends. Most everyone knows I'm an insulin-dependant diabetic (yes, like Adam Morrison). Not much more to say about me, I guess...you'll probably learn more about me from my writing.

Writer bio
I am a 28 year old sports fanatic. Having played basketball in college, the NBA and the NCAA are my two favorite sport leagues and most of my writing will be concentrated in these areas along with Youth basketball.
Recently, along with a few partners, I have launched a new website called basketball.org. Basketball.org is a website dedicated to enhancing the game of Basketball. Currently we are running a blog until we launch our full site that will cater to players, coaches and fans.
The website plans to be a collection of high school, college and NBA experts dedicated to enhancing the abilities of basketball players, teams, and coaches worldwide through the use of innovative technology, and some "old school" techniques.

Writer bio
I'm a Journalism/Mass Communications major in Arizona. I've written for the Glendale Community College newspaper, The Voice, working as a sports editor and later as the managing editor. My ambition is to go into sports writing and/or broadcasting on a professional level, hopefully for the NBA.
I've always been a fan of basketball, whether it's watching, playing or writing on it. Playing is how I tore my ACL on my left knee, which was operated on in May, 2008. I'm currently doing intense rehab and physical therapy to get back to playing the sport I love.
I do public address announcing for basketball, volleyball, baseball and other athletic activities on the high school and junior college level.

Writer bio
Name is Andrew Otovic and sports is all I know, what I do, what I read, and also how I breathe. I'm a huge Red Sox fan, a big Titan's fan and a Pats fan..Titans over Pats though. My two favorite sports to watch are basketball and baseball. So of course, I love the Celtics. My love for the Celtics goes back to Antoine Walker's rookie year when they won 19 games so as you can see, I'm not like the thousands that jumped on the bandwagon for last year and the future. No offense but I can't stand hockey or the NHL for that matter. I am very knowledgeable in all four major sports, however hockey is the least and baseball is the most. My ultimate goal in life is to work in sports in some capacity whether it would be to be an executive for a Major League Baseball team or an NBA team. Even a spo...

Hey everyone I'm Bryan. I've loved sports since birth literally. I've grown up in a family that is die hard BYU football fans, my uncle was even the athletic director there, and my love of Stockton to Malone came a little later. I've also played sports my entire life. Football and basketball mostly. I played varsity all three years in high school for basketball and was 2nd team all-state reciever for football. I played one year of college football and Snow Jr. College. In the last two years I've become a really big soccer fan, mostly the Premier league in England. I just wanted to try out the sports writing and so far I love it!

Writer bio
I've been an addicted Sonic/Thunder fan since the late 80's and a general hoop junkie for most of my life. I was sad to see my team move, but I can't stop being the Thunder's new biggest fan. I've been through the highs and lows with this team and can say "I remember when". The internet and NBA tv keep me connected even though I live in rural Southern Oregon with a wife of 10 years at this writing and two step kids. I have strong opinions on my team and the NBA and I plan to share them. There is a whole community of people that are just being introduced to their "new" NBA team and I am looking forward to sharing my opinions and insights.

I am a 23 year old law student and co-writer for the 2 year old "<ahref="http://detroit4lyfe.blogspot.com">detroit4lyfe.blogspot.com</a>" blog that I created with two of my best friends. It was originally an 'open' blog but it gradually developed into a sports blog because sports is predominantly what I think about. I am a die-hard Detroit fan, so naturally a greater number of my subjects will gravitate there.
Despite my love for writing, I am not positive how often I will be able to post because the opportunity will depend on my chances to break from studying. Nonetheless, I am wide open to constructive discussion, debate, and feedback- so please feel free to contact me.
