What is HoopSocial?

What can I write about?

HoopSocial is seeking anything basketball-related. We have categories in our blog for the NBA, WNBA, College Basketball, Basketball Betting, Draft Prospects, NBA Top Shot, and we are always open to new opportunities and ideas.

Critical pieces are welcomed, as long as they are well thought-out and reasoned. We are not interested in hosting shallow hit-pieces on the site. We try to be forward-thinking, so we are always open to new ideas and pitches from our staff.
