I speak to A. Sherrod Blakely about his professional journey from print journalism to digital journalism to TV journalism.    Blakely has worked for the Post-Standard in Syracuse, the ACC Writer in North Carolina, MLive.com as the Detroit Pistons NBA Writer, and now is a Digital Media NBA Reporter at NBC Sports Boston.    Blakely talks about how he initially thought he would go to school for chemical engineering, how that then changed to journalism, what it was like covering Syracuse in the early 90s and Jim Boeheim, what it was like being one of the few minority reporters in the mid 90s covering ACC football/basketball, stories of certain Detroit Pistons players he got to know well while covering the team like Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace, he talks about what it was like being at the Malice at the Palace as a reporter, stories of certain Celtic players like Kevin Garnett, and what Covid-19's effect has been on sports journalism.     Blakely also gives his own advice to young professionals starting out in the journalism game.    To follow Blakely on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asherrodblakely/?hl=en   To follow Blakely's reporting on NBC Sports Boston: https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/a-sherrod-blakely   To follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aroy81547/?hl=en   To follow my website: https://www.gratefulliving4.com/
