if you are basing that off his basketball book, then that's fine. but if you're basing it off his recent stuff, then no. he's basically turned into rick reilly. complete sellout.

he knows a lot about old pop culture references and the history of basketball. he was a great writer 10 years ago. he's not relevant anymore. he knows no more, and possibly less, than nearly all national NBA writers
