About a week ago, Blake Gillespie reached out to me with a letter he had written to Adam Silver regarding the reopening of basketball. The letter, written so carefully and tenderly, is about much more than the game.

Blake Gillespie is a professional writer. He began his career contributing to Impose Magazine, an independent music and culture publication based in Brooklyn. He was a partner in the publication from 2012 to 2016, serving as an Associate Editor on the West Coast. He has contributed to numerous online and print publications including; Vice Sports, Bandcamp Daily, The Sacramento Bee, The East Bay Express, and The Sacramento News & Review. Blake is also the author and publisher of Sacred, a literary journal dedicated to basketball's universal language. Sacred is his first book and encompasses sports, art and spirituality. He is based in Sacramento and enjoys the game of basketball on many levels. .
