OK so this isn't exactly timely, but I've been out for about a week and I wanted to make sure that I called out one of our writers at Blazersedge for the outstanding job he did at the NBA summer league (actually all of our guys there did an incredible job, but Ben Golliver went above and beyond as you'll see). Dave Deckard wrote this post about what Ben accomplished and I think he states it better than I ever could.
What Ben gave is these last two weeks was the best single-team access and reporting you could find anywhere. He observed and got quotes from every game the Blazers played. He gave us lengthy interviews with nearly every major figure the team sent to Vegas. He broke the news that Rich Cho was Portland's next GM. He accompanied Cho on his first day on the job. And all of this comes in the dead time of the year for NBA coverage. If you can find somebody who's put in more work and produced better results...well, forget it. You can't.
