Jordan

I'm a life time sports junkie and most of all a die hard hoops fan, with my love for the NFL following close behind. I enjoy just about every sport (although a little baseball goes a long way), but my passion for the hardwood and gridiron surpasses all.

I'm also a sports writer of the NBA variety (occasionally dabbling in some NFL coverage). You can read my weekly column at HoopsVibe.com every Wednesday. You can also follow my sports blog on Newsvine.com (jordanrivas.newsvine.com).

Scoop Jackson: Check the meaning
