Guidelines

We’re open to most topics, just make sure it’s:

• 100% Original, your words (Just say no to plagiarizing, that’s a given)
• NBA relevant (All posts talking about your grandparents, your favorite reality show, your trip to Fiji, will be tossed in the reject pile)
• Current (You can always throw it back to old school comparisons, but tie it in to something we care about now)
• Humor is never shunned (If it’s entertaining, that means it’s worthy)
• Hate-free (Prefer love for the game over any derogatory, malicious disrespect directed at any players, coaches, or anyone for that matter)
• Length (Quality over Quantity. While we appreciate well-thought out analysis, we’re refraining from novels)
• If you are making an argument, back it up with research and stats
• Pictures and videos are always good
