TrueHoop Becomes A Network

I've mentioned before that Henry Abbott's TrueHoop is one of my favorite sites for NBA reporting and news. It's more than that, though. The writing is fantastic, the stories are interesting and always on the leading edge, and the depth and breadth of his coverage is fantastic. TrueHoop is what all news agencies should be pushing to become as they (finally) enter the 21st century and migrate to the Web.

Today, TrueHoop enters a new phase, as it becomes the hub of a hoops blog and reporting network.

Starting right now, ESPN, TrueHoop, and many of the best independent basketball blogs out there are now officially working hand in hand as the TrueHoop Network.

The TrueHoop Network, as fueled by the efforts of a growing list of favorite basketball bloggers (check out that new little drop down on the right), and newly hired ESPN editor, and top-notch blogger, Kevin Arnovitz, will find and foster excellence in online basketball writing.

We will connect the best basketball blogs out there to the best readers out there -- TrueHoop readers.

Not wanting to overstate things, but I think we have an opportunity, over the next several years, to change how sports are covered. . .

Very exciting news for a hoops junkie like me. Check out the rest of the post here.
