Reading about Reading

Michael ‘wiLQ’ Wilczynski from Weakside Awareness recently asked me to share who I had on my RSS feed. I use Google Reader to keep up on all of my NBA reading. I figured I’d share the links to the blogs I follow and ask if there were suggestions to more I should follow. I’ll put the whole link too so it’s easy to copy and paste into your RSS reader if you’d like.

Update: Here is my reader file should you wish to just upload it easily. Thanks to Chris for the tips. In Google Reader click on the gear (Reader Settings->Import/Export) Dre’s Google Reader Feed. (I also have my non-basketball follows in here too)

Listed Alphabetically

• Arturo’s Silly Little Stats (http://arturogalletti.wordpress.com/) – Before hopping here full time Arturo posted his “silly” thoughts over at his blog.
• Basketball-Reference (http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog) – They just recently announced they’re stopping. Beg them to come back!
• ESPN TrueHoop (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop) – I think this is required reading if you’re on the net and like basketball.
• Freaknomics (http://www.freakonomics.com/) – They don’t post most much basketball (although we’d be happy to supply material to them if they’d like to start) but their football and baseball stuff is great.
• Hawkonomics (http://hawkonomics.blogspot.com/) – One of the original three from the Wages of Wins. Not much basketball but hockey and football do come up.
• HeatFreak (http://www.heatfreak.com/) – Alfredo is one of my favorite bloggers and podcasters despite rooting for the Heat.
• Hickory-High (http://www.hickory-high.com/) – I’m not much of a Pacers fan but the basketball analysis here is top notch.
• Hoopism (http://hoopism.com/) – Hands down the best infographics and NBA Dunk Contest tools on the web.
• Indy Cornrows (http://www.indycornrows.com/) – More Pacers news and Ian posts here too.

• Skeptical Sports (http://skepticalsports.com/) – Ben gained our attention explaining how Dennis Rodman was the greatest. He then won the TrueHoop playoff challenge. He also posts great content including NFL material.
• Sports Skeptic (http://sportskeptic.wordpress.com/) – Alex posts great stats material and also includes NFL and NHL content.
• The NBA Geek (http://www.thenbageek.com/) – The Timberwolves don’t deserve Kevin Love as a player or Patrick as a fan. Great blog posts and some nifty web tools too.

• Valley of the Sun (http://valleyofthesuns.com/) – Nash is one of my favorite players so I love a good Suns blog. Michael has great content.

• Weak Side Awareness (http://weaksideawareness.wordpress.com/) – wiLQ put out some great statistical analysis of the NBA and the best coach salary guide I’ve ever seen.
• Welcome to Loud City (http://www.welcometoloudcity.com/) – Great Oklahoma City Thunder blog that has also posted that Kevin Love might be worth $40 million.
• XKCD (http://xkcd.com/) – Ok I wasn’t going to include my non-sports follows here but given Arturo’s absolute love of the site I felt I needed to.

If there are other blogs you think I need to follow let me know. Don’t feel snubbed if I don’t follow yours, sometimes I see an awesome blog and forget to add it.
