FIRST POST INTRO

Greetings to all, if any at all, to Shawn Bradley Will Punk You. I've wanted to start a basketbal blog for a long time, having been part of baseball and football ones already, and posting long rants on my personal page (LINK!) that no one I know reads anyway. Maybe this will get some basketball traffic from people looking for NBA news. I'm up for grouping blogs with anyone who wants. If you want on, you're welcome to come on. If you've got a more popular one than mine, and invite me on board, I'm on. Just seems that none of my current associates like hoops all that much, but it's been my # 1 obsession for years.

I think the lottery broke me. I couldn't resist putting my rants on a different page from my usual movies/music/tv/ general life blog after that. That will be my first real rant. I'm a Sixers fan living in Los Angeles, so I need a space to rant about Philly, plus the Lakers, the Clippers, and all things hoops related. This will mostly focus on the NBA but I'm going to indulge in college stuff with the NCAA from time to time, espcially come March.

Why Shawn Bradley, you may ask? It seems like the best sites are named after goofy white guys, especially awkward big ones, and the 7'6" 76er is the biggest, whitest, and most awkward, I say. I could go into a long painful memoir about how it was to watch my favorite team trade my all-time favorite player (one Charles Barkley) for nothing, and then draft the big man from BYU just months later. I don't know how I could even stand to watch basketball as a kid after that, but I grew to love it (mostly with Chuck's great Suns teams).

Also... Darko was taken.
