Alder Almo

Alder Almo is a sports journalist originally from the basketball-crazy Philippines and now lives in Jersey City. He’s a well-traveled journalist who has covered the Asian Games twice, Manny Pacquiao fights and continue to follow their national basketball team called “Gilas Pilipinas”. He grew up watching Michael Jordan stake his claim as the GOAT and Allen Iverson changing the culture in the NBA. Now, he's watching LeBron chase the ghost of No.23. He dreams of covering the first full homegrown Filipino talent in the NBA one day. He believes that will happen in his lifetime.

Khaleel Abdullah
NBA Writer
Hello. My name is Khaleel. I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and am a big-time AZ sports guy. My favorite team is the Phoenix Suns, even though the last decade has been pretty difficult. I do believe we are on the right path now and I hope to see them playing competitive basketball and getting back to the playoffs soon. That seems like a far fetched dream right now, especially with how loaded the Western Conference is but anything is possible. My favorite Sun is Devin Booker and my favorite non-Sun is Giannis Antetokounmpo aka the Greek Freak. I am happily married, just celebrating my 10th anniversary, and a father of three adorable children.

I'm a former college basketball player and I've loved the NBA since I was a kid. I graduated from LaGrange College in 2018 and I am currently working in accounting and doing some basketball training on the side. I am so excited to translate my knowledge and love for the NBA into some content.
