About Me
Based in Los Angeles, I cover the National Basketball Association as a Senior Writer for Sports Illustrated. I provide written reporting, analysis and opinions online and in the magazine, I co-host the “Open Floor” podcast, I co-create the annual “Top 100 NBA Players” rankings, and I make regular appearances in SI.com video content.
Prior to joining SI in 2012, I spent two years at CBSSports.com while also covering the Portland Trail Blazers for seven seasons at Blazersedge.com.
I began writing about basketball with the self-published “DraftKevinDurant” blog in 2007. In the decade since, I have covered the NBA Finals and playoffs, NBA Draft, NBA All-Star Weekend, NCAA Tournament, Las Vegas Summer League, and USA Basketball events, among others.
I am a graduate of the Writing Seminars at The Johns Hopkins University and a member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association. I was born in Portland, Oregon, and have spent most of my life in the Pacific Northwest.
Thanks for stopping by. I’d love to hear from you.
