"Sportswriting transcends mere scores; it's about weaving compelling stories." And that is exactly how I see myself: a storyteller. With a decade of journalism experience, I am committed to delivering narratives that captivate readers. Even after over 10 years as a journalist, every moment of it still excites me. New tales to tell every day, new challenges to overcome, and instant rewards or reprimands from the readers for every step of the process - working at EssentiallySports is all about being on your toes and giving it your all. And I embrace it wholeheartedly.

Transitioning from a reporter to an editor, I bring my passion for crafting captivating stories to a new role. As an editor, my goal is not only to continue creating engaging narratives but also to assist and inspire writers to do the same.

Beyond journalism, my journey has always extended seamlessly into a mentoring role. I have held regular training sessions for students of some prestigious media training institutes throughout my career. I now bring those same mentorship skills to the table at EssentiallySports. I aim to guide writers in delivering exceptional sports stories, providing our valued readers with content that resonates. After all, every reader of EssentiallySports is ‘essentially a sports’ fan.

Who wants to watch the Bulls vs Warriors when the ‘Ring of Honor’ will be the highlight tomorrow? This is what Charles Barkley had in his mind when the Chicago Bulls [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/chicago-bulls/] announced that Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/scottie-pippen/] as the first honorees for the inaugural event. Barkley was a friendly rival of the 6x NBA champion, but things changed after the two developed a beef over the years. The same is the case between Pippen and Jordan. Thus, the Philadelphia 76ers legend was excited to witness the awkwardness between the legendary Bulls duo. On a special appearance at the Dan Patrick show, Barkley had shared, “I’m just gonna sit back in the corner and stare… I’m praying, please don’t have it on a night I gotta work…I’m gonna have to go to Chicago that day just to see it. You talk about weirdest, uncomfortable, uncomfortable won’t do it justice.” Well, there is a sudden change of events now! The Bulls have informed that both Michael Jordan [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-jordan/] and Scottie Pippen will not be attending the ceremony. Sadly, Charles Barkley [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-barkley/]‘s plans have been ruined now. It’s time to cancel the tickets to Chicago! Not just Barkley, but also the hoop fans are disappointed that Pippen and Jordan are not coming. The expectations were set high, only for an upset. At least, Jordan was kind enough to share a video that he will not be attending the event. ranks lower in demeaning NBA list” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/nba-active-basketball-news-nightmare-season-continues-for-andrew-wiggins-as-he-drops-127-ranks-lower-in-demeaning-nba-list/] MICHAEL JORDAN SHARES A SPECIAL VIDEO FOR MISSING THE ‘RING OF HONOR’ CELEBRATIONS The 5x MVP shared, “I want to congratulate all the other recipients. I am so bummed that I can’t be there tonight, but I don’t want that to stop the fun that you guys are going to have.” Well, his attending the event was the “fun” part for Barkley. Jordan added, “Believe me, I’m very grateful and very honored to the fans. You guys have supported me ever since I stepped foot in Chicago and even today I see a lot of Chicago fans all over. So I think we made an impression and changed what Chicago represents in terms of championships…I will always be a Chicago Bulls.” Although Jordan will not make it to the event, a few fans are satisfied with this special video from the 6x champion. Anyhow, Barkley will be disappointed.

Sorrow hits Charles Barkley's travel plans to Chicago after Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen turn the tables.

I could have never imagined getting a shoutout from Los Angeles Lakers icon
Shaquille O'Neal and the rap legend 50 Cent on Instagram. But they say 'Dreams
Do Come True' right? This is what EssentiallySports has given me. Covering trade
rumors, contract signings, lives of NBA superstars and legends has been my go-to
thing. I would never miss a chance to write about my 'GOAT' Stephen Curry. As an
ardent fan of the 4x NBA champion, I chose to play point guard for both my
school and university teams. After a long break from basketball due to the
pandemic, Curry's 4th and best championship pushed me to get back on the court
more often. Well, my life is just all about basketball now!
