Experience
Matt has covered the NBA in some capacity since 2007 and was one of the Action Network’s first full-time hires.
Prior to his time at Action, he wrote for CBS Sports, NBC Sports, and AOL FanHouse. He was an NBA awards voter in 2017.
Matt began his career by starting his own NBA blog, Hardwood Paroxysm, which went on to feature the writing of many NBA contemporaries across today’s media landscape.
He became one of the leading voices in the NBA MVP discussion, breaking down the cases of candidates and receiving a vote in 2017.
Matt takes a bird’s eye view of the game, recognizing the complex machinery at work with front office politics, the X’s and O’s of in-game schemes, and the way coaching shapes outcomes.
Education
Matt graduated from the University of Missouri, but did NOT graduate from the school’s prestigious journalism program.
