In an attempt to become a more well-rounded sportswriter I've decided it might be a good idea to address some of my deficiencies. I know football very well and baseball pretty well, but I don't know basketball nearly as well. Can anyone recommend some online sources where I could brush up and expand my frame of reference?

Hmmm... Well, being in the area we are in, obviously college basketball is more important to know than pro. So, although I don't have any great sites to reference, further defining your search is about all the help I can give.

Homer: [reading] "Project Arcturus couldn't have succeeded without you. This will get you a little closer to that dream of yours. It's not the Dallas Cowboys, but it's a start. Drop me a line if you're on the East Coast, Hank Scorpio." Aw, the Denver Broncos!
Marge: I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good.
Homer: Yeah, yeah.
Marge: Well, explain to me why it isn't.
Homer: [sighs] You just don't understand football, Marge.

Bill Simmons. Nobody writes more 9,000 word articles about the NBA two-three times a week. Start at the Sports Guy's World home page, and read some current stuff. http://sports.espn.g...2/simmons/index Then did around his archives by subject title.
Be careful with Simmons' stuff though. He's very funny, but not always properly informed, particularly with College Basketball but it sometimes leaks into other sports.
