I'm Matthew Mahoney, an undergraduate at the University of Virginia majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I'm an avid fan of both pro and college basketball with no allegiance to any specific team outside of the perennial dominant college basketball program that is UVA. My only credentials are that I played varsity basketball in high school and spend hours reading, listening and watching basketball daily.
I have far too many opinions on just about EVERY topic concerning basketball, such as the cataclysmic effect of Lebron James leaving Cleveland or all of the fascinating aspects of his receding hairline, but will focus mostly on the NBA and Division I college basketball. I strive to be a source for great basketball debates and conversation based off actual BASKETBALL knowledge that has sadly been replaced by hardcore statistics-driven articles with little actual basketball analysis. This is not saying that there aren't quality writers who use powerful statistics- my fellow wahoo John Hollinger is truly a genius when it comes to combining incredible statistics with solid knowledge of the game of basketball. Just know that even though I have a strong background and proficiency in many forms of mathematics, I won't be utilizing new innovative statistical analysis such as P.B.R (player badass rating) to prove my arguments.
Thanks for reading and please feel free to comment on any topics posted on this blog.
