Writings

I've always had a passion for the written word and also a passion for sports so in order to fulfill both of these, I combined them.

NCAA Tournament Cinderella Stories


  This is a comprehensive story about the greatest NCAA Tournament underdog teams in the tournament's history. These teams aren't your one-hit wonders that survive round one and got sent home in round two. These teams are upset stories that made it at least as far as the Sweet Sixteen and some even farther while captivating the audience along the way. They are listed in order from how far each team advanced in the tournament.

The Rise and Fall of the Los Angeles Lakers


 This story is about what the Lakers used to be and what they have become. It's about how in just a short time, the team that won back to back championships is now among the bottom of the NBA. This story shows how that happened and the progression of the Laker years of Kobe Bryant. It goes from the Shaq and Kobe era to the sadness in watching Kobe Bryant play on a team that is no longer a contender or even close.

Dirk Nowitzki

 

  This is a story written about Dirk Nowitzki and how he's not quite as washed up as maybe everyone thought. This is about how he re-emerged in the 2013-2014 season and how the Dallas Mavericks use his unique skill set to shape their entire offense. They use his lethal mid-range jumper and uncanny post-up ability, along with the unselfishness of his teammates to play the style of basketball that they do. This also gives a preview of the 2014-2015 season as well.

Sports Page

 

This is a sports page I designed that includes a feature cover story about Derek Jeter and a story for the inside pages of a preview of the 2014-2015 New York Knicks. This breaks down a career coming to a close and what Derek Jeter has meant to baseball while giving a look ahead at what type of season the Knicks fans could expect.
