🏀 Welcome to The Parquet Poet

Where basketball is more than a game—it’s a language, a rhythm, a kind of music only some of us hear.

This is where basketball meets artistry. Where the beauty of a well-placed pass or a missed free throw is treated with the same reverence as a stanza from Bukowski or a solo from Coltrane.
We write about the NBA with poetry in our veins and stats in our back pocket—no bravado, no hot takes, just the honest hum of a game that moves us.

Expect deep dives into iconic teams, forgotten legends, clutch moments, quiet brilliance, and the pulse of today’s league—all told with grit, style, and soul.

Basketball is poetry in motion—rhythms on the court, echoes of sneakers, a symphony of movement and intent. I write about the game as art, philosophy, and meditation—free of bravado, ego, and toxicity.
