As a Sixers' fan since birth, I have an unnatural affinity towards both Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson. When I'm not writing for Liberty Ballers, I'm an NBA Featured Columnist for Bleacher Report, the associate sports editor for two.one.five magazine, and I co-host a podcast called The Broad Street Line.
