I cover the Indiana Pacers for the FanSided publication, 8points9seconds.com, which I've done for multiple NBA seasons. My life-long fandom of Indiana basketball allows me to combine my love for statistics and the game to bring an informative experience in how I craft my reporting. Formerly, I discussed varying Pacers topics on the Today in Basketball podcast and did play-by-play commentary via the Colorcast app on iOS.
