Hello, one and all. Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Dennis, a 26-year-old from Houston, Texas. This, in short, is my basketball blog … where I will discuss almost anything and everything in regard to the great game of hoops.

I have been involved in basketball since I was very young, playing in youth leagues before serving as a statistician and public address announcer for my high school basketball team before continuing to play recreationally, be it through leagues or intramurals.

Since 2002, I have written for various Web sites. I interned with the Houston Rockets, as a content writer for the organization’s Web site, and for the past three years, I have covered NCAA Division II college hoops for a newspaper in South Texas.

Anyway, that’s the short of it. This blog is for everything hoops, and we’ll see where it takes us from there. Hope y’all enjoy!
