    Welcome to my mind GMTR readers. Nels has graciously stuck his neck out with his current fanbase by adding me to the staff. I thank him for that and hope you will share my sentiment in the near future. As a quick summary i have been avidly been playing fantasy basketball for six years and have been partaking in the NBA since you pronounced the ‘H’ in ‘Hakeem.’ I specialize in the international aspects of the NBA. I have a college degree with an emphasis on foreign relations and bridge the gap between that and the NBA by paying special attention to the foreign players in the league. *all readers simultaneously cough the word dork into their fist*

    As a writer I like to have fun. I will never claim to be a master of any language or to make men, women and children weak at the knees with only my keyboard. In the world of fantasy sports there are so many people trying desperately to predict the next champion or sleeper and I participate in this contest like everyone else. Only, I like to make you enjoy what you are reading. I consider it my responsibility to let you know the developing trends of Mickael Pietrus’ field goal percentage, but to also prevent you from saying “I am reading about Mickael Pietrus’ field goal percentage. What am I doing with my life? I was supposed to be a Senator, not sitting at home reading this website!”

    Feel free to leave comments and to send me emails. I am very open to conversing with anyone that is reading.

    With this post in the bank, I intend to hit the ground running like Nate Robinson after blocking Yao Ming. My first post will be up in a few hours. Also, I am sure everyone saw that, but i was more impressed with the way Nate took off running as if it had happened a hundred times before. Even when some dude proverbially ‘climbs the ladder’ at the club (like Nate did, only clothed) he has a huge smile the entire day after. Not Nate, he looked like he had just settled a decade long blood feud, like William Wallace after a victory, solemn and stone-faced. That block was destined to happen, Nate knew it… apparently, we didn’t.

      I’ve already welcomed you via email, but let me do it once again, publicly this time: Welcome!

      Also, yes. I had noticed the Nate Rob run after the block, but was too busy trying to figure out whether it was Yao’s left or right pride that he was clutching as though in mortal pain. He’s a hustla baby.

      Greetings and welcome mabeuf! It’s great to have you part of the team.

      I’m sure it was one of you that told me to do it, but I picked up Nate just last week, and as he is on my roster, I feel personally acomplished for giving Yao the stuff.

      Also: i went to school with mabeuf- his degree is in floral arrangement.

      Yeah, International floral arrangement.

      Don’t worry, I interviewed the guy. I know all about his alleged degrees from a so-called institution of higher learning.
