When I was a kid (I've immediately offended the dude I'm about to hype up) I wanted to be an NBA beat writer.
Partly because I thought about basketball non-stop, but realized I wasn't good enough to play.
Partly because when you're a nerd, journalism seems cool.
And also because I thought Jan Hubbard was a genius. I couldn't wait to read his columns. I loved his writing style and always thought his analysis was dead on.
I wanted to be like Jan Hubbard.
Hubbard is covering the Association for the Telegram these days and he's still cranking out the good good.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Avery took over the reins for a Chicago team that struggles in the half-court because they have a bunch of jump shooters and no low-post threat?
