Our congratulations go out to Brandon Ribak, winner of the 2009 NBA Beat Writers competition.

Over the course of the NBA postseason, Ribak broke down games, analyzed trade rumors and previewed the upcoming draft.  His articles accumulated over 56,000 reads in a two month span.

He also had to overcome a persistent challenge from our runner up, D.Michael Lee, who exceeded the 55,000 read mark.

It is our pleasure to award Brandon the top prize, an authentic NBA jersey and hat.  D.Michael’s going home with an equally stylish Bleacher Report t-shirt for his efforts.

A huge thank you to the 55 competitors for entering.  Next season is just a few short months away!
