Who are the faces behind the letters? Read on to find out...
Jameelah
JJ bka Jameelah Johnson (no relation to Joe) found a love for basketball through the Atlanta Hawks not too long ago. Always a surface fan of the game (with ties to the Nets and Celtics), she appreciates all there is about the sport of basketball and the players in the NBA. Her infatuation with sports doesn't stop at the NBA, she's a big Yankees fan and an observer of most of what ESPN highlights (tennis, futbol, football, etc.). Jameelah's sports skills fall into the category of "nonexistent," as she tried out for the high school basketball team in 9th grade and never looked back.
Jameelah graduated from Spelman College in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish (and a focus on Journalism, both broadcast and print). She is currently in New York City doing a fellowship with WNET and will start graduate school at New York University in the Fall. Jameelah loves her family and enjoys going to sporting events (and being silly from time to time).
