Founders
Lakers Outsiders was founded in 2015 by Anthony Irwin, Gary Kester, Harrison Faigen, Matt Vazin, and Ryan Kelapire. Since then, many of the founders have moved on to other sites and endeavors. We will always have a special place in our hearts for them, and now they have a special place on the site as well.

Hello. I was wondering if you guys are looking for another contributor in any sorts as pertaining to writing?

I would recommend volunteering/shadowing at a high school or juco to gain a perspective that basketball is not some linear formula, in which if you insert player a in situation a He will perform x.
