Where the best basketball blog happens.
nbatipoff I know I’ve been MIA of late. I’ve been sick, school started and it’s the off-season. All of those are great non-blogging factors. But now I’m back and I’m going to keep this blog as up to date as possible. So, with that said, I’m back like MJ, but not like Brett Favre!
