Seamus McKiernan hails from Southern California and nothing is more beautiful to the 6-6 walking double-double than the understated grace of an Arvydas Sabonis bounce pass. He is a writer and editor by trade, currently a founding senior editor at The Players Tribune.
Seamus has worked with everyone from Allen Iverson to Yao Ming at Players Tribune, the latter of whom has said McKiernan’s Mandarin was “not bad.” Yao is a nice guy. Keep an eye out for upcoming stories in and around the NBA Playoffs and the Women’s World Cup.
NCAA Tourney Pick: As much as Seamus’ rides with the home state UC Irvine Anteaters, he’s going with UNC to win it all.
