Welcome to Nick's Hoops Notebook!

I’m Nicholas, a writer and storyteller with a deep passion for basketball. My work exists at the intersection of history, culture, and playstyle, bringing nuance to narratives that often go overlooked. I am the writer at Halfpastnoon, a basketball media brand known for its rich storytelling and engaged community, where I craft daily posts, newsletters, and video scripts that analyze the game beyond surface-level stats. My approach prioritizes creativity, depth, and accessibility, ensuring that each piece resonates with both hardcore fans and casual readers.

This blog is an extension of that philosophy, a space to explore the game’s most compelling narratives, from forgotten innovators to era-defining moments. Whether it’s breaking down the evolution of playstyles or reimagining pivotal games in history, my goal is to capture basketball in a way that makes you think, feel, and see the game differently.
