Headshot

Mike Prada

NBA Contributor

I write about the NBA for SBNation.com, and phrases like "ice the pick and roll" tumble way too easily out of my mouth. I'm also the founder of SB Nation's Wizards blog Bullets Forever, where I root for a team that hasn't won over 45 games in 33 years. I started following basketball when I was 10 and saw Gheorghe Muresan attempt to back down Luc Longley in the post. It was love at first sight. I also manage SB Nation's newsdesk program, so if you're interested in applying, e-mail me.
