    I was watching the postgame stuff this morning and I think I heard you asking a question to TP in the press room. I've heard you asking questions in the locker room before but never in one of the big press conferences in the playoffs. How does all that work and is this your first time in there? Major props btw!

    Yes it was me. I asked 2 questions to TP (the first two questions asked) and one to Pop (about Oberto).

    No, it's not my first time in the big playoff press conferences. I have done it every season since 2003-04. (And a little bit in 2002-03 during the season but not playoffs). I have press credentials through WOAI.

    Basically all the press goes in there and sits in those seats. When you want to ask a question, you signal someone who has a boom microphone and when they put it in front of you then it's your turn to ask. Sometimes when no one is asking questions, I just ask without signaling for the mic - that's why you missed the first part of my question to Pop, I believe

    Thanks for the acknowledgement and props.

    Talking to friends i think, man i really should have went into journalism, but of course i didn't...i work in computers and it bores the out of me...

    Hey Kori, maybe one day you can be sitting next to Kenny and Charles for TNT.

    That would be cool.

    well 1st thing you need to know is that I should have "gone" not "went" into journalism. sorry , but you left yourself exposed there. BTW many people unfortunately make that same error esp sportscasters like Magic Johnson and Kenny smith .

    It was Kori and she asked quite good questions.

    I do not know why but americans can't ask realy good questions about basketball. So more or less all the press conferences looks the same.

    Good there is some Pop humor sometimes.

    Well during the season, there's no boom mic - that's why you can't hear them. In the playoffs, they have it. But sometimes the reporters don't wait for it to be in front of them.

    That's very cool, and I'm glad to hear you've 'made it' per-say. I am persuing a career in sports broadcasting, so I wouldn't mind a copy of that PM, if you don't mind.

    If not, I understand. I just joined 15 minutes ago!

    How funny! I thought at the time, "Huh, wouldn't it be funny if that's Kori. It sounds like her."

    Heh.

    It's because Americans are lazy and want someone to tell them a story with characters, emotions, feelings, and a plot with good guys and bad guys. They don't actually want to check in with reality and make up their own minds. So the reporters ask questions like:

    "How did it feel when.... ?"
    "What's your reaction to what XXX said?"

    and other stuff like that that has nothing to do with the actual game.

    It would be nice if one of them had a blog here.
