Thousands of you use BI as a go-to resource. PLEASE consider a paid subscription so we can keep bringing you the best NBA coverage. And writers, if you feel like we’ve helped you grow over the years, please consider a paid subscription.

BI needs your help to survive! Rising production costs are making it difficult for us to continue our role as the adult in the room serving as the conduit to all that you need to know about NBA happenings while sparing you: 1) hours of daily search to find the gems and 2) exposure to the nonsensical garbage that can rot one’s mind.

As a further incentive, we’re currently providing a $10 off coupon. Subscribe now!

Paid subscribers, please consider upgrading to founder status.

Thank you!!
