Michael Tillery is the founder and writer of the sports blog “The Starting Five” (http://thestartingfive.net/). He is a former athlete and baseball coach. Michael wrote his first article in 2005 about Tiger Woods. He has covered sports for various magazines including Slam and The Nation. He believes in “changing the narrative” and connecting the sports fan with the athlete. He talks about memories about the University of Michigan’s “Fab Five”, Julius Erving and Reggie Jackson (both of whom influenced him to start writing about sports). Michael also provides his thoughts about the current state of sports journalism, his concerns with many Black reporters on how they cover Black athletes and what they need to change and improve and what changes the Black athlete needs to make.
