Let me give a big shout out to JVal17 aka Kevin Bryant, though. To quote Brett Poirier, he has great basketball knowledge...hahahahaha

Kevin, in response to your tweet asking if anyone had questions about Dwight B., I have one for you...

Do you know anything about him that I can't already google?

@accfanto Excuse me? I'm not a journalist or a blogger? I'd beg to differ. How many NBA players/writers have you spoken to?How many articles

@accfanto have you written? That's right 0. Don't talk behind my back on a board. You know nothing about me or anything I know

hahahahaha. How many NBA players have you spoken to? By that logic, the stars of Basketball Wives are far more knowledgeable about basketball than anyone on this forum. I also love how success as a journalist or a blogger is measured by how many NBA players and writers you've spoken to...where is the desire to create original knowledge? Amateur sports writers are hilarious. They act like they are authorities on the NBA when they just speculate like the rest of us.

Hahahahha


What he wants you to think is that I go on Twitter pretending to break stories with pretend sources, but the fact is I go to offer opinions only. I don't claim to break stories or have sources. The only NBA players I have ever said hello to were at Raptors' meet and greet events for season ticketholders. I Although I am a journalist in another field, and 1000000 times a better one than he might think he is, and understand the meaning of a real source and a real scoop.

I don't even know why someone with your level of maturity would even acknowledge his existence... I do not know the backstory to this (there's like 3 other stories on the same guy this week), but I can assume something happened, he can't be crazy enough to just talk about RealGM posters on twitter, can he?

Actually, when somebody sends me rude PMs like he has, I would prefer letting this board know that they should take a jaundiced view of what he and Brett Poirier tweet as fact. Things tweeted as fact tend to be brought here as theads on RealGM, and when discussing signings and such, we need real news, from real sources, on which to base discussions.

Im just surprised you even had to bother, this kid exploded with an epic-level meltdown threatening to fight posters just a week ago.. don't want to bring it up any further but it seems like he just doesn't like to stop.

It's crazy that there are some NBA Insiders who use this forum. I wonder if they'll answer some questions of mine...assuming they have the time, of course...

Kevin, don't post your Linkedin on your twitter page if you have any interest in securing gainful employment. The stuff you spew out on there would make anyone think twice about giving you a job.

To be fair he does seem to have a portfolio of interviews with established NBA journalists (http://o.canada.com/author/kevrashidi/) Although it looks like he gets them by spamming them on Twitter. Props to him for trying to make a career out of it, but he needs to have thicker skin, his outbursts are unprofessional as hell.

It's just a Q&A that's transcribed for the web. He's basically sent them 10 questions, they sent responses, and it was called an interview.

Need a better source in order to believe this. Plus, why in the world would Nate want to come play here? I'm sure some contending team would want him. Don't the Thunder need a back up PG?
