I'm so excited to announce that I'm now a senior writer with The Athletic! I'm going to be writing long-form NBA features. I’ll also dabble in other sports from time to time too! 💜💜💜I wrote a column introducing myself: www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

The blurbs for "Moses and the Doctor" are rolling in. Here's one from the great @mirinfader.bsky.social , whose stellar book on Hakeem Olajuwon was mandatory reading for me as I wrote about Moses Malone's tenure on the Houston Rockets.

From @mirinfader.bsky.social last year, this is a good read. Also a bit of a quote from Darko Rajakovic on Sonia Raman (the new Seattle Storm HC).

Just a few years ago, it seemed like the NBA would soon hire its first woman head coach. Is that dream any closer to becoming reality?

Also like to bring attention to the incredible feature @mirinfader.bsky.social did about Jrue Holiday: www.theringer.com/2024/04/03/n...
Jrue Holiday’s Season of Change
Being traded is a rattling experience. But this summer’s blockbuster paled in comparison to a previous newsbreak in Holiday’s life. “I think it helped prepare me for [the trade],” he says.
