• Over the years, The HRR has evolved from a NBA Draft only publication.
• The Houston Roundball Review has been media credentialed to cover basketball since 1997.
• In 1997, The HRR's goal was to provide basketball fans information not found in the newspaper; however, as the use of blogs has permeated throughout the world, the newspaper has diminished in popularity and THE go-to source for basketball information.
• In 2000, I began covering the Houston Comets and the WNBA. I'm proud to say The Houston Roundball Review was one of the top websites in the country for news and information about the Comets and the WNBA. However, in 2008, when the Comets were disbanded, a large portion of this website's visitors vanished.
