Hi everyone. My name is Jason Rubin. I’m a long-time NBA fan with a tremendous love for the game. Born on the south side of Chicago but raised in Naperville, IL, I grew up idolizing the Chicago Bulls. Even though I currently reside just outside of Miami, my pride for the Bulls is as strong as ever. I have a passion for discussing the NBA and that is exactly why I decided to create the Dunk Base. We have such a wonderful writing staff and a great webmaster. I look forward to all of the future discussions I will have with our viewers.

Hey, what's up everyone. Allen Miettinen's the name. I'm 20 years old and working on a degree in psychology and marketing. I grew up in California and kindled my love for basketball during the 2000 playoffs. The Lakers' comeback vs. the Blazers in Game 7 of the WCF really opened my eyes to what an unpredictable and exciting league the NBA was. I was enamored by Kobe Bryant. Then I discovered Allen Iverson, his tiny rebel misfit image clicked with me immediately. Then I came to the realization that basketball is a team game and tried to be loyal to my home team, the Golden State Warriors. Vonteego Cummings, Adam Keefe, Adonal Foyle.. those were the days. Fortunately Mookie Blaylock and Antawn Jamison made it tolerable. Anyway, I then moved to Colorado where I had to suffer some more terrible basketball for a while. But without that, there'd be no Carmelo Anthony and the promising team the Nuggets have now so it all evens out. I'm one of the OG posters from hoopshype. As dumb as it sounds, I think hoopshype has helped me hone my writing skills. I look forward to the challenge of enligtening and entertaining the basketball masses with my sometimes blunt and critical/sometimes jovial/sometimes both analysis on this site.

I'm 26 years old and currently reside in Naperville, IL. I have a bachelors degree in marketing and a minor in philosophy. Fan of all of the 4 main team sports. baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. I'm a huge music enthuiast as well. I'm a fan of just about every genre in music, but I do tend to be a little bit of a music snob at times as well. I'm also very interested in a lot of different genres of movies. Comedy has to be my favorite, but I love old horror and slasher movies. Some of my favorite TV shows include The Office, Community, East Bound and Down, and Ghost Hunters.

Hi, Steve Bradley here. I grew up just outside of Washington DC and it is also where I currently reside. I've been a fan of basketball in a general since about as long as I can remember and played up until High School. I would probably be described as a basketball junkie as I watch and follow high school, college, and international (both leagues and FIBA competitions) forms of basketball as well as the NBA. I get easily bored with the normal line of thinking when it comes to basketball (who's better than who and the like) and because of that I try to think abstractly about basketball in an attempt probe a little further into why certain things are happening in the basketball world. I also get tired of well worn cliches and traditional lines of thinking that I feel are just used as easy ways out instead of in depth analysis. I'm also a strong historian when it comes to basketball (and not just the NBA) and I'm constantly trying to expand on that information base. My ultimate goal here is to hopefully get people to think more critically about the game, the league, and the personalities that populate it both in the present and the past.
