Loren Lee Chen’s first major memory of the NBA involves trying to post up his dad in the driveway as a 5-year-old and yelling “HAKEEM!” while struggling to throw the ball in the general vicinity of the basket. Since then, he’s learned to stick a little bit closer to his strengths. With a BA in Economics and Mathematics from Brandeis University, and an MA in Economics from USC, he tends to view the league with an analytical and game-theoretical bent.
Loren has been writing and providing commentary on the NBA on the Internet since 2007. When he’s not watching basketball, he’s busy learning everything he can about everything (seriously) and has parlayed that into an appearance on Jeopardy. His tweets can be found at @LorenLChen.
