While my knowledge of the game and certainly my sense of humor can be questioned, I think that my passion for basketball is undeniable. This is why I would like to request anyone that comes across this page to consider giving Oytun a job in a basketball-related area. While you might not know what to do with a reckless fan and blogger that has claimed such absurd things as “the NBA will be killed by evolution and technology”, “Lamar Odom and Ray Allen are the most gifted basketball players in the world”, and “Tim Donaghy is the best thing that happened to the NBA since the shot clock” – let me suggest some examples of how I could be of use.

Tracking players’ PR: There are players out there who constantly would like to know how they are viewed. If I was player I certainly would. Whether it’s what the major papers around the world think of me, or whether it’s simply finding out what ratings the latest NBA Live video game gave me – I want to know it all. While not every player is a schizophrenic egomaniac, it can certainly be useful to get daily reports of how you are viewed in the worlds’ eyes. (Kobe, holla at me)

Custom Stats Collector: Everyone knows that the average box score is an insufficient source of statistics when wanting to make sound analysis. Many stats that could be of significant use never end up being collected because it would require a mindless drone (aka me) to go through games one by one and record stats manually. Examples: what is the field goal % of the defensive assignment of Chris Paul, what is the amount of hockey assists averaged by Kobe Byrant, what is the % of times Ginobili ends up on the floor after a drive…etc

Scout: I’m personally from Eastern Europe, and live currently in China. These must be the two hot spots of basketball talent that doesn’t get as much coverage as it should. If anyone out there needs a scout to go look at players and give thorough reports – look no further.

Marketing Brain: My educational background is actually in the business field (with a heavy emphasis on Marketing). Also, my creativity whether sane or not, can be seen in the posts that I regularly put up. Therefore it makes perfect sense for me to be included in some marketing efforts whether its for the NBA, for a team, for a sports company, or even for those poor scumbag refs.

 Bottom line is I would be up for pretty much anything that involves a round leather ball. (Except I’m not doing any Rodman-esque nude posses! :P) Contact me!
