My name is Ryan Diamond. I am 18 years old from Houston, Texas. I attend Xavier Educational Academy and will be attending the University of Missouri for journalism with an emphasis in broadcasting. My mission is to provide NBA fans across the world with information about the association that will change fans’ perspective on the sport.
In the summer of 2022, I attended The School of The New York Times. I have met many NBA athletes and coaches, as well as ESPN personalities, interviewed NBA and NBL players, been collecting basketball cards since I was a child, and been a diehard Houston Rockets fan for my whole life. I have also written articles about NBA players, fun facts about the NBA, and my NBA perspectives. I want my passion to reach fans across the world and make them just as passionate as I am.
