Adam Mares (@Adam_Mares) is a Colorado native and one of the best low-post passers in the NBA blog-o-sphere. He loves road trips, reverse-pivot post moves, and John Wall’s skip passes to the corner. He hates nostalgia, one-legged running hook shots, and hack-a-shaq. In addition to Hardwood Paroxysm, Adam writes about the Denver Nuggets for Denver Stiffs and NBA analytics for Nylon Calculus.

Andy Liu (@AndyKHLiu) currently lives in San Francisco, went to school in San Diego, and doesn’t want to admit it but realizes that SD is a tad more awesome. He turned down graduate school to get a real job and can’t figure out if he regrets it or not. But at least he gets to write about the NBA for Hardwood Paroxysm and SBNation (Golden State of Mind). If you didn’t know, the Golden State Warriors won the championship and I will never write about any other team from now until eternity. Or something like that.

Austin Peters (@apete1993) grew up in Middle of a Corn Field, Illinois, honing his craft as a lights out shooter in the driveway. If the hoop were eight feet instead of ten, he’d be an All-American. And that’s why you’ll find him writing for Hardwood Paroxysm, Upside and Motor, At The Hive and Pelican Debrief.

Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) is a Philadelphia native who is always just talkin’ about practice. You can find his work at Hardwood Paroxysm, BBALLBREAKDOWN, Bleacher Report, Vantage Sports, Today’s Fastbreak and Hoop76 of the ESPN TrueHoop Network. #trusttheprocess.

Caleb Nordgren (@chisportsguy41) is a proud Chicagoan still adjusting to life away from the big city. He’s a journalism student at Michigan State, a contributor at Bulls by the Horns, and can be found at any given time on Twitter, talking about basketball and generally being sarcastic.

Chris Barnewall (@ChrisBarnewall) spent his years watching shuttles and swimming at the beach in Central Florida. Now a student at UCF, he spends his days watching an unhealthy amount of basketball. When not watching basketball, he’s either playing video games, or tweeting horrible jokes. His writing can also be found at sites such as The Friendly Bounce, Pelican Debrief, and At The Hive.

Chris Manning (@cwmwrites) is a staff writer at Hardwood Paroxysm. A senior at Ohio University, Chris is also the Web Editor for Backdrop magazine, an editor at Fear the Sword and a contributor to Hustle Belt and The Athens News. He also doesn’t read nearly enough.

Daniel Lewis (@minutemandan) is a Hardwood Paroxysm contributor. He is a graduate of the Brigham Young University, and has experience working in the media industry. Married up, enjoys spending time with his family, watching sports and playing them when he can. Daniel is a proponent of charges, screens, and the alley-oop.

Daniel Rowell (@danieljrowell) is a writer, illustrator, and bank shot specialist based in Chicago. He is a co-founder of ImSorryMarkJackson.com and still waiting to be rescued from DeSagana Diop Island.

Danny Leroux (@DannyLeroux) has covered the league since 2009, hosts the weekly RealGM Radio podcast, frequently co-hosts the Dunc’d On Basketball Podcast and writes about the NBA for the Sporting News, RealGM, Warriors World and many other outlets.
