We get tons of folks reaching out to us wanting to create content for the site. While we love the enthusiasm, we can’t publish everything that lands in our inbox.
Now, if you really want to catch our eye and improve your chances of getting that byline on HoopsHype, here’s the kind of content that gets us excited:
DATA DEEP DIVES
We love numbers, trends, and analytics that tell a story. If you can crunch some data and uncover insights about the NBA, we’re all ears. Think:
Quite important: Make those stats digestible for the average fan. Beautiful graphs and charts are super welcome.
If you’re interested in building cool tools for HoopsHype, we want to hear from you as well.
LONGFORM FEATURES
We love pieces that take readers behind the scenes or offer a different perspective on the game. This could include:
EPIC INTERVIEWS
We want in-depth conversations that peel back the layers. Think about interviewing:
If you’re pitching a data-heavy article, let us know which data you’re going to use. If it’s a longform feature, let us know about your sources or how you plan to structure the piece. If it’s an interview, tell us why this person is worth talking to and what you aim to uncover.
