Title: Supportless in Seattle
Date: March 10, 2008
Original Source: Hoops Addict
Synopsis: After the semi-success of The ODC, thanks to Trev and Ryan McNeill I was able to branch out and began writing for Hoops Addict as well. Most of my work from there has since been lost from a server change-over they undertook, though I was lucky to find my backups. This article was a pleae for the basketball world to stop underrating Kevin Durant (that seems like a long time ago, no?).

Synopsis: A slow news week, but it didn’t stop me from continuing to try and make this week in review idea stick. It wasn’t really a good idea, in hindsight, to just review everyone’s articles from the week and jam them in one post, but you can’t blame me for trying, right?

Title: The History of the Finger Wag
Date: March 4, 2008
Original Source: The On Deck Circle
Synopsis: It may seem odd to call one of my own articles “famous,” but if I was going to, this would be the one. Thanks to Dikembe’s Finger Wag being nominated (and going far) in Ball Don’t Lie’s “things we love about basketball madness tournament,” it ended up with a lot of link-love and cleared the 100,000 view mark. It is a mock-umentary style piece about Dikembe and how the Finger Wag came to be.
