ESPN NOW OWNS TRUEHOOP

... First of all, I want to congratulate TrueHoop's Henry Abbott on his huge move to ESPN.com. There could be no bigger NBA midseason news. He's the leading NBA blogger, and it's a fantastic move for ESPN to get him. I had the chance to finally meet him in person a few weeks ago, and he was as genuinely nice face-to-face as he is via email. I'll be curious to see the reactions and reverberations throughout the insular sports-blog world. (My question, of course: Which NBA blog out there fills the void as the leading "indie" voice?)

... Finally, big congrats to Henry Abbot over at TrueHoop - he’s sold the operation to ESPN, and will allegedly be able to continue doing it his way, albeit with much more access and actual funding. Nice work, sir - it should be interesting to see how unbiased you’re able/allowed to remain. Congrats!

Random thoughts

... What do folks make of the TrueHoop move to the dark side? On the one hand, I like his stuff so much and he puts so much time into it, I'm glad he's going to get paid. On the other hand, ESPN has become such a monolith it hurts when they suck up the great independent sites. I'm also worried about putting an editor between Henry and his published text. What if he wants to be critical of ESPN's pretty awful NBA coverage? Will it fly? And even though I pay for the good ESPN content, I hate to see even more stuff disappear behind that veil. Let's hope TrueHoop doesn't meet that fate.
