I need some good opinions from true sports fans?

i'm 15 years old and i really want to become a famous sports writer some day. i recently wrote this article about the western conference nba playoff situation for my friends amatuer up-and-coming sports website can i get some people to read this article and give me your advice or what ytou think of it? i really appreciate it.





the link down low takes u to my page, it's a website we're working hard on in order to make a reliable source. we have some good baseball rankings up, but right now it's under construction.

for the article above please ignore the whole gilbert arenas section because we had a deadline time to get the article in, and his injurie's soverity was unkown at the timeI need some good opinions from true sports fans?
nice try. but it's a lame attempt to boost traffic to your site.





good luck on your future though.I need some good opinions from true sports fans?
Very nice job, Reed... you know your hoops!





It sounds to me like perhaps you want to become a columnist, rather than a reporter who simply reports the results on a game-by-game basis...which is good...most papers simply copy the AP summaries of games anyway, except for their local teams.





I think the main thing you should work on is your sentence structure. Don't get me wrong, you write very well! A few sentences here and there seemed a little awkward, but overall, you did an excellent job. I think you're writing career is off to an excellent start.





Continue to work on your grammar and sentence structure (maybe you could get a good English teacher in your school to go over your work with you). Maybe he or she could ';grade'; your work in the same manner as they would a regular schoolwork assignment, and help you with phrasing your sentences a little more succinctly.





But at 15, I think you're well on your way to being an outstanding sportswriter... you obviously keep up with the game extremely well, so the rest of it is just getting the sentences down in the correct way. But overall, very, very good articles.





Good luck to you!
you are a good writter on day u'll make
I really enjoyed your article. You have a lot of talent for someone who is just fifteen years old. If you want to get better though try to learn about the history of sports when you have time. Also to improve your writing find every conceivable moment to write out your thoughts, blog, post questions on message board, etc. You have a lot of potential, just remember practice makes perfect, and continue being opinionated(while backing it up with facts of course :).
