Point Blank Buckets
by Chanel Ray & Derek Minney
Deeper than stats...My vision is to bridge the gap between the die hard sports fan, such as myself, and what I like to call the “Super Bowl” sports fan- those who are engaged in a game for the social aspect, family obligation, or simply because its convenient. I want to show how one’s passion for sport (particularly basketball) is not far off from another’s passion for history, LGBTQ & POC issues, fashion, social justice, pop culture, music, health & wellness, etc. by opening the forum for progressive, upbeat, & necessary conversation.Welcome to Point Blank Buckets!
