the worst writer on espn.com. First of all, the guy is a racist. Would it kill him to write a column about a white guy? haha
Second, his writing style sucks. He tries to make his stuff dramatic by making a lot of paragraphs consisting of only one sentence, to make his writing look all dramatic and important.
Third, he tries to be so hip when he goes on tv, most other analysts and writers go on tv dressed nicely, he goes on shows with baggy jeans and tims.
Fourth, he is an idiot. He just wrote an article about how florida will have an extremely tough time repeating. ITS TOUGH FOR EVERY TEAM TO REPEAT. Great point there scoop, thanks for pointing it out to us.

i mostly agree... i've read his stuff since he was working with SLAM and while i did enjoy alot of his articles, he does come across as a racist asshole sometimes...

i love scoop. same as dude above me, ive been reading slam for yeeeeears. at least 7 or 8 years, and he was always my favorite writer for the mag. he gives views from a black perspective and i usually enjoy it. alot of writers focus on white players...i dont think he'ss too bad.

i think his opinions and such are fine.

but his writing style definitely bugs me. he incorporates a lot of "hood" slang and the like into his columns, which is fine in moderation. but his columns are so saturated with little -isms that the whole shtick gets tired.

i like when the sports guy references him though.
