My name is Xavier Zamarron, and for the past 10 years I have been an avid fan of both the NBA and NFL. As a kid, the dream was that one day I could play in one of these leagues. That’s what every kid dreams of right? Well at a young age I realized that my odds were low, and even lower thanks to my genes. I decided that if I can’t play in either league, I want to at least be involved in them. I combined my writing skills and love for the sports into a new dream of becoming a sports analyst. I’ve become well versed in what makes teams succeed through watching film, scouting players and analyzing stats. I am fully capable of making correct predictions about games, seasons, players, etc., and with this blog I hope to prove my expertise to any fan or analyst by writing articles that make bold statements about the sports landscape.
When I say “bold” I mean predictions that aren’t very popular, but are at least somewhat realistic. There’s already a plethora of sports writers out there, which means there is a general consensus about certain topics. For example: in this NBA season there are a couple of championship favorites, the Lakers, Clippers, and Bucks. This means that countless articles have already been written about what makes these teams tick. I have no name and zero clout when it comes to sports writing, so why would anyone listen to what I have to say about the Lakers? That’s why I must zig while everyone zags.
The hope is that my 10 years of closely analyzing these two leagues will lead to at least a few “bold” predictions becoming true. It is only then that people will see that I know what I’m talking about. My opinions and predictions will hopefully gain some respect, and maybe I even get an internship at an actual sports media company. We all have to start somewhere right? Well I’m starting here.
