And we Australians are the chosen ones,
After a few years of working for financial firms, Jeff got into journalism and began writing basketball stories for a major overseas magazine, doing a major cover story on then-rookie Kobe Bryant, and becoming the main U.S. NBA writer for what at the time was Australia's only famous basketball publication.
In late 1999, Jeff decided to shake life up, and over the next few months he moved on from working in finance, got out of his NYC apartment lease, bought a laptop, started InsideHoops.com, and flew to the other side of the world. Beginning a trip that had no end in sight, Jeff flew to Australia and spent six months traveling the entire East coast of the continent. He started in Sydney, spent a month learning to surf in a legendary mecca called Byron Bay, kept the habit going in Surfer's Paradise, and continued to travel north from New South Wales to Queensland, eventually going north enough where surfing ends and the Great Barrier Reef begins. Jeff spent about two months getting to know the wonders of explorating ancient coral reef and seeing life below the ocean surface.
When not having fun, meeting people and enjoying paradise, Jeff kept building InsideHoops.com up. It began to develop a cult following.
In late 2000 Jeff left Australia and lived in Los Angeles for almost one year. By then, InsideHoops.com had a solid readership and a terrific reputation as a leading source of fun, educated basketball opinions. Jeff began doing radio interviews. The website kept growing. Inside Hoops was becoming famous.
Jeff finally returned to New York City in mid 2001.
Now in 2009, Inside Hoops is one of the world's most popular sports websites. It's a trusted media outlet and the web's most well-established pro basketball website. Jeff has contacts and sources across every level of basketball. And at this point, if someone doesn't know Inside Hoops, they've been living in a hole.

InsideHoops was founded on the magic of Australia. Jeff was able to take his conscious brain-wave continuum to another level on our soil. Without Australia... Jeff might still be working the 9 to 5 finance gig... Instead of covering the glorious NBA. Australia was like the training sequence from Batman Begins... Or the training sequence in the Hercules animated movie from the 90's... Or the training montage from Mulan... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64)... "I'll, make a man out of you!"
The magic lies with Australians,
We are the magic of InsideHoops,
