Jordan Walters

Biography:

Jordan Walters is a former NCAA mid-major basketball player whose career never got further due to the fact that while he could shoot the lights out, he had the leaping ability of Bill Laimbeer. With a pro basketball career even overseas a pipe dream, Jordan turned to sports writing. He has been in the profession for two decades -- covering multiple Super Bowls, World Series, NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals as well as one World Cup and one Wimbledon -- and a gambling scribe for about 15 years. Any writer can tell a bettor which side to bet; sometimes, it's more important to determine which side NOT to.
