    Sorry Trip, I meant to post it in the normal Rockets forum. Is there a problem?

    I just thought that it would be better off here as it didn't really relate to the Rockets. Figured that you'll still get a lot of people to see it here.

    Btw, great piece. I really enjoyed it.

    Thanks Trip. Yes I understand what you mean. Thanks for clarifying.

    I guess I'm a bit too biased. I mentioned alot about the Rockets, hehe.</div>
    Nah, it's not bias. It's your preferred option, which is the same as mine:)

    You can never have too much Rocket Talk.

    Nice Article, it was a good read. And it's good to have some JBB writers repping the Rockets Forum.

    If anyone wants to join the Writing Team, just PM a piece you've done to 44Thrilla. Then writers will make recommendations and comments on your writing. dakeem knows the procedure, I'd like to see even more Rockets posters in the Writing Team, although Shooter, dakeem and me already are.

    Nice article Dakeem. It's not biased, for me it's neutral.

    Yes sirrrrrr [​IMG] the Rockets are very well-represented on the JBB Writing team, but we could always use more... [​IMG] In fact we have arguably the largest fanbase on JBB (maybe aside from LA lakers)...

    Yeah so if any of you guys have a talent in transforming your thoughts to text, give it a go. Us rocket fan writers will be biased towards you and get you in. HAHA!

    I'm just kidding. The Writing Team is proffessional and everyone there will call it as they see it.

    For guys who don't know, you will get special member usertitles, access to a private forum and your article on the JBB frontpage. When guests come to JBB, the first thing they'll see is your article.

    PM 44thrilla or shapecity with a sample and cross your fingers hoping that you'll be in.

    I know you guys are out there: blueracer, durvasa, back-on-track, bplld, cheen0, Julio, Aznx, magno, the list goes on. Shooter got it right on the nail when he said Houston has the biggest fan base on JBB. Let's see Rockets posters repping our team!

    Btw, I almost forgot, SupraJames is also a member of the writing team; that makes four.

    I doesn't hurt to try. There have been some applicants who were borderline in their sample pieces and were asked to give another one. So if you have something, you can be given mroe than one chance.

    From my own experience, just reading basketball related articles help me a lot in writing similar stuff. back-on-track, pick up SLAM if it's avaliable in China, or go to www.slamonline.com. They're the top basketball magazine worldwide and is definitely worth a read.
