For this blog post, I am going to review hoopshype.com. This website is a NBA rumor site that has a lot of information and is very deep filled with information and links. For this I will write about both the positive and negative aspects of this website.
When you first visit the site you are hit with a ton of information and links to click on. They have a scores listed from the past few games, article links, blogs of NBA writers with a picture of their face for you to visit, Twitter posts, and a rumors link. Most people use this site for the rumors page so let’s look at that. Their rumor page is a bunch of linked snippets of articles surrounding NBA rumors from around the league. Typically, the stories snippets are from well-respected newspapers and reliable sources. Every now and then they feature a picture of the player that is being discussed. They do a great job of updating their material every day and there is always numerous new stories posted every day. The rumors aren’t always rumors but also general NBA news that might be covered nationwide.
In addition to the rumor page, you can also see all the available free agents from around the league who haven’t been signed. They also have every player in the NBA’s salary listed which can be interesting to see. They also have a page where you can read all the Twitters of NBA players and sports writers. This is a nice place to go to catch up on what your favorite players are doing at the moment and what people on twitter are talking about.
On to the negative aspects of this site. With the rumors page the biggest issue that I have with this site is that sometimes when they post the snippets on the articles you have no idea who they are talking about. They also break down the same article in 2 different sections on the rumor page so you think its 2 different stories but in reality its only one. There are also quite a few ads on this page that aren’t always pleasant to the page as it makes the page seem crowded. Their list of blogs is hardly ever updated and their Twitter page doesn’t always have the most interesting people listed.
Hoopshype.com has a lot of positive and negative aspects but at the end of the day it is a very good NBA website. This website is great for anyone who is looking to read about the NBA as there is so much information on this site about players and news from around the league. I would recommend this website to anyone who is looking to stay up to date about the NBA.
