When you’re talking next, just make sure you tab Eric Woodyard next to that statement.

An award-winning sports journalist out of Flint, Michigan, Woodyard has profiled anyone from LeBron James, Anthony Dirrell, Claressa Shields and more.

A graduate of Western Michigan University, Woodyard appeared on ESPN’s “E:60” and “Outside the Lines” in 2016 and was awarded first place for Best Sports Story and Best Sports Feature categories in 2012 and 2015 by the Michigan Associated Press

After covering everything Flint at MLive.com, he was recently named Utah Jazz beat writer by Deseret News. He literally packed up everything he’s known and transitioned all the way there.

Did we mention he did all of this while having a 3-year old son? Kudos, brotha!

While on the Scoop B Radio podcast, Woodyard discussed the transition from Michigan to Utah, the Flint Water Crisis, anecdotes of journalism he’s learned along the way and the Utah Jazz’s chances in the NBA’s Western Conference. While you’re preparing for Thanksgiving festivities, press play above to listen in!

While you’re googling Woodyard, make sure to check out his book, titled “Wasted.” The book highlights Cam Anderson, an all out grinder at work, but a completely different person at night. Anderson is the self-proclaimed “Turn Up King,” because he parties hard and enjoys the ladies a bit too much. After a chain of events leads to a crossroads, Anderson must decide whether  he will waste his life or get serious with it.

The book is available on Amazon.com, Createspace, and Kindle. Click here to order! 

Make sure to also check out, “Flint Made Me,” Woodyard’s documentary film released digitally. The film depicts his high school years figuring things out while beginning the college journey in pursuit of his dream of being a sports writer.

If you want scholarly hoops talks mixed with pop culture and conversation about hoops from the past and present, Justin Lee is your guy! The Above The Rim Podcast, recorded in the great borough of Brooklyn is the scene of the crime, and Lee, better known to the hoops world as Jus Blaze holds court on his weekly podcast which analyzes the NBA landscape while also featuring guests giving their opinions.

I appeared on episode 11 of Above The Rim Podcast and discussed round 1 of the 2017 NBA Playoffs, Clyde Drexler, Larry Johnson and the Charlotte Hornets and the New York Knicks and Phil Jackson’s growing Carmelo Anthony saga. We also discussed Lance Stephenson’s return to the Indiana Pacers and the notion that Paul George may be the second best player in the NBA’s Eastern Conference behind LeBron James. Is a New Jersey Nets’ Jason Kidd in his prime better than the Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook? Can the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics ever rise out of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ shadow? Are the Atlanta Hawks with the combo of Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard competitive enough? Will the Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul and Blake Griffin finally get over the Western Conference Playoffs doldrums?

Oh yeah there’s also Joe Johnson talk!! 

You’ll love the conversation! Above The Rim Podcast is surely an NBA Podcast for the everyday fan!
