InsideHoops.com is the leading, professionally-run basketball
site on the web. No one comes close. Run by a pro writer and NBA analyst - a guy
Sports Illustrated once called "a virtual one-man basketball team" -
and fueled by countless contributors, InsideHoops.com pumps out more daily basketball
content than anyone.
We've been featured in the top sports magazine (Sports
Illustrated) and the top internet magazine (Yahoo Internet Life). We've been heard
on the top sports radio station (WFAN in New York City) and nationally across
Canada on the syndicated Team radio network. And other stations as well. Many
newspapers and media members use InsideHoops.com as a source. We have a fantastic
relationship with the NBA people we deal with. Notice that on our front page,
the NBA Commissioner himself, David Stern, recorded a "welcome to InsideHoops.com"
audio message.
Based in New York City but with a national reach, InsideHoops.com
staff have direct access to superstars of the basketball world, from the pro level
down to the legends of streetball. We've interviewed countless superstars, including
Gary Payton, Tim Duncan, Chris Webber, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and many others.
Our main focus is the NBA. We provide essentials like
daily news and rumors, scores and stats, exclusive articles and fun features,
plus an incredible amount of cool stuff like exclusive interviews, power rankings,
year-round draft coverage, an awards watch, depth charts, playoff coverage, All-Star
weekend stuff, and much more.
Visitors to InsideHoops.com feel very connected to the
site. We provide them with free email accounts, free team websites, and they take
full advantage of the wild fun available on our message board (check our NBA forum).
Because this site has very few graphics or pictures, your banners and multimedia
ads will stand out even more here than they would elsewhere.
The monthly page views of this site plus message board
(separate server) are in the millions (sources: Burst Media ad server, FastClick
ad server).

Some Inside Hoops publicity:
Sports Illustrated (Dec 25,
2000) wrote an article about us, called InsideHoops.com "a haven for pro
basketball junkies" and referred to our founder/editor as "a virtual
one-man basketball team." We were the final Sports Illustrated Multimedia
Spotlight feature of the year, in the millennium-ending double issue.
CNET.com/ZDnet.com included
InsideHoops.com in an article that analyzed the load speeds of the five top web
sites covering the NCAA tournament. Read it here.
The other sites were ESPN, Yahoo, CBS and the official NCAA website. The article
also appeared in slightly altered form on the yahoo.com business page.
The Larry King Live show's
homepage on CNN.com partnered with InsideHoops.com in early 2001 to help promote
Mr. King's interview on CNN with coach Bobby Knight.
ESPN The Magazine's Website
mentioned us in April 2001 on their front page, stating that InsideHoops.com "provides
all the playoff coverage you can stomach."
Shift Magazine named our message
board the year's best online sports community in 2001.
NewCityChicago, when "digging the best from sports sites," points out
that we more or less rock.
The March, 2002 issue of Yahoo Internet Life magazine
featured the InsideHoops.com NBA rumors page, hyping it up.
We have been heard on WFAN sports radio in New York City
(the most popular sports station in the country), nationally across Canada on
the syndicated Team Radio network, and in many other American cities. Because
we get constant invites to hit the radio airwaves, our promotional power goes
far beyond the norm.
