our game * a series by halfpast*noon

look, our mission to bring back substantive basketball content isn’t just about us. it’s about you. you’ve followed us, interacted with us, and built a platform where we can talk hoops. why wouldn’t we do the same for you? at the end of the day, it’s our game.

the number one dm we get is people asking how they can work and write for us. so we launched this series to give you that chance. if selected, we’ll tag your personal profile and promote your work through our account. we want to prop up the next generation of sports writers, give them the platform to be noticed, and bring their work to our followers.

write about the game. your favorite players. your favorite memories. whatever moves you.
