After six years at ESPN and 18 years at the Associated Press, I have gone independent to continue to do what I have been doing for the bulk of my adult life — providing NBA and international basketball news, commentary and in-depth analysis, giving my readers links to the best basketball articles out there each day, while also allowing for the voices of the visitors to this site to reach a broad, worldwide audience. Is this a blog? Yes, sort of. But this is a site that will break news, too, publish dispatches and commentary from around the globe from a staff of distingued correspondents and contributors, while also soliciting your contributions. (Example: Deadspin wouldn’t be Deadspin without the weekly Funbag, and there will be a place for something similar here). It is a new world for me, one with total editorial freedom. I hope you are as excited to be here as I am.
as long as you keep putting out good basketball info, i don’t mind that the website is “kinda” amateurish….

Good luck on the new independent endeavor Chris. Not sure why everyone is bashing the look of the site. The content is what’s important and we (Celtics Life) immediately linked to your “Sides are closer than they’re saying” post. And I’m sure many others did as well.
With that said, if you’d like to change the design of your site, I’d be happy to free of charge.
Once again good luck. Keep the scoops coming.

Same deal as the rest. Content is great, website needs a serious overhaul.

I believe Randle’s desk related comments at the 4 minute mark sum up my feelings on this website…

Looking forward to enjoying this site in the future. Will there be a regular podcast segment in the future?

Chris,
I have to agree with the others, the actual status of the website looks pretty amateur and I’m sure a webdeveloper or just a kid who knows his way around wordpress is out there who could help you make this look a little less like a personal travel blog. You might be able to find someone who would appreciate giving them an endorsement or allowing them to put an advertisement here.
Best wishes on your new endeavor.

Wow – I literally have never seen a more pathetic site. Whoever designed this for you literally has zero imagination. I understand having a clean look with less bells and whistles, but this is beyond pathetic.
You should make this look professional — as of now it looks like someones AOL page from 1999
