Chris has created a niche for himself as a foremost expert on the NBA’s D-League.Finding a niche is incredibly important in today’s crowded sports writing scene, and I talked with Chris about how he found his niche and has made a name for himself. In fact, Chris recently got a shout out from Brent Barry during the live broadcast of the NBA’s D-League All-Star game on NBATV.There’s a reason I wanted to make this one of my first episodes, and that’s because Chris’s mindset of how to find his niche and then fully commit to it, is something I encourage all writers to think about.
