I am the New York Times best-selling author of 11 books, as well as a former Sports Illustrated senior writer and ESPN.com and Athletic columnist. Over the past decade I have been a regular adjunct professor at Chapman University, where I've taught Intro to Journalism, Sports Journalism and Magazine Writing. 

My book, "Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s," was adapted into the HBO series, "Winning Time." I served as an advisor and producer on the show. I have created, reported and hosted podcasts for Audible and iHeart, and am the host of my own YouTube series, "Press Box Chronicles," as well as the weekly "Two Writers Slinging Yang" podcast.

In 2020, with the pandemic wiping out the in-person experience for scores of college students, I teamed with Jonathan Eig, the Pulitzer-winner journalist, to create "The Big Scribble," a nationwide collegiate writing competition/education experience.
