With the NFL season beginning, there is something
that NFL fans get to look forward too, MMQB by Peter
King. Peter King is the must read for any diehard
football fan. I look forward to quality writing about
the NFL every Monday and Tuesday. Of course there are
things we all dislike about his writings, but what
columnist can't we say that about but thats besides
the point. Peter King is a must read every Monday,
which leads me to my point of who is the must read
columnist for the NBA?
There are plenty of columnist that I read everything they write.
Bill Simmons - States on a regular basis that he is one of the last basketball fans on the planet. But he doesn't just write about basketball, problem he writes about everything else also.
ESPN Insiders: Chad Ford, Mark Stein, Chris Sheridan- Completely knowledgeable about the game, entertaining, inside information. Problem #1 you have to be an insider to read most of there stuff. Problem #2 since Chad Ford became a professor he is writing less and that makes insider worthless.
Kelly Dwyer- Great writer, enjoyed his work, but does he even have a job anymore? I really hope he does, but I haven't seen anything new from him in awhile, besides on TrueHoop.
Henry Abbott- The king of basketball blogdom. Every link he post is a most read if you are a basketball fan TrueHoop is always a must read. TrueHoop is my absolutely favorite site, but its not comparable to a column, they are just too different.
Bethlehem Shoals- Love freedarko! Love his work at the fanhouse, but he has the same problem has Henry.
Dime Smack- Great read, like the feud with Slam!, but the problem is its just not mainstream enough.
Random SI Guys- They just don't compare to Kelly Dwyer.
Charley Rosen- Too Retrospective.
Others- Bloggers, Newspaper Columnists, ect...
