KEN'S CORNER

​This is the section highlighting my collaboration with my father, who is a retired sports journalist and lifelong NBA (especially 76ers) fan.  He started out as a writer for the Kansas City Star* NHL Beat during the Nixon administration and was later a Copy Editor for the sports department of the Philadelphia Inquirer*.

 

I am excited to do a project with my dear old Dad, and thankfully I can run NBA statistics with spreadsheets because he’s too forgetful to keep track of his abacus.
