NO MATTER HOW GOOD ONE INDIVIDUAL IS, IT TAKES A WHOLE TEAM TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP

LeBron James

Matthew Wellington

Matt Co-Founded Double Clutch in July 2012 and is the current Editor-in-Chief / Lead Designer. He is a Los Angeles Lakers fan, a Brandon Roy stan and a stalwart of the vibrant UK-based community. He never shuts up about the fact Damian Lillard follows us on Twitter, and has represented Double Clutch as an analyst on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Mike Miller

Our Mike Miller is not the Mike Miller picked 5th overall by the Orlando Magic in the 2000 NBA Draft. He is in fact one of our podcast hosts and a Lead Writer. He loves beards, begrudgingly respects James Harden, writes a weekly NBA column for GiveMeSport and contributes to Sporting News (FIBA). He’s also represented us as an analyst on Sky Sports, BBC Radio 5 Live, ESPN’s Head in the Game podcast and Love Sport Radio.

Nick Whitfield

Nick provides us with a rather unique look at basketball, often merging cultural moments from videogames and cinema with on court and sometimes off court actions in the NBA. He’s our Google Analytics guru; the perfect accompaniment to a digital league and sport. Oh, and he used to work for FIBA Media.

Josh Coyne

Josh is a hoops, music and TV sitcom fanatic who survives primarily on copious amounts of pasta. He fell in love with basketball when his mum and dad showed him Larry Bird footage at a young age.

Huw Hopkins

Huw grew up in Wales and was too much of a wimp to play rugby. He fell in love with the quiet brilliance of Tim Duncan and ended up a San Antonio Spurs fan. Huw is a Lead Writer for Double Clutch and also contributes to Sky Sports (NBA/WNBA) and Sporting News (FIBA).

Sean Guest

Sean is the site's resident hoops historian, exploring some of the NBA's most significant moments through the 'Step Back' series. He's also written for Fansided's Orlando Magic Daily and the Last Word on Sports network.

Justin Quinn

He finds it difficult to not mention the Boston Celtics and often contributes to multiple USAToday Sports Media Group sites and Off The Glass.

Tom Hall

Tom is a teacher based in Stoke-on-Trent and can usually be found playing 2K, drumming or hosting his other podcast, Almighty Pod, when he's not cheering on his beloved Celtics. He contributes with articles and is regularly featured on our podcast, where he typically shoehorns conversations to do with anything trade, free agency or draft-related!

Jonah Stott

Jonah is a Medical student in London and he won't shut up about it. He is also a Pacers fan and hopes to see a fully fit team play one day.... Jonah is about the same height as Isaiah Thomas, so he's pretty sure there's still hope for his NBA career.

Thomas Lamming

Sports Journalism student at the University of Huddersfield. Student Press Officer for Bradford Dragons basketball.

Sid Mohapatra

Sid is a writer who was born and raised in India. His fandom is a testament to the ever-widening reach of the NBA. Always rooting for the underdog player and/or team, Sid has lived through many exhilarating ups and frustrating downs as a New York Knicks fan for nearly two decades.

Kirk Killick

Kirk is our resident video/tech guy. Playing basketball since the 90's, Kirk brings a different view to the team with a gaming aspect background and a hands on approach to the latest tech and innovations. There's nothing Kirk can't google and get working for Double Clutch.

Chinedu Udezue

Chi got into hoops whilst living the expat life abroad in Saudi Arabia in the late 80s. As a result, he still contends that Isiah Thomas should have been on the original Dream Team, Hakeem remains the most underrated NBA superstar of all time and that the three point shot is slowly ruining the game.

Aoife Kane

Aoife is one of the youngest members of our team and currently the only female. She hails from Kildare, Ireland and plays basketball for her school team. Her interest in a variety of sports led to her starting her own podcast, which you can find on Soundcloud under 'Aoife Kane'.
