Ken Berger began covering the NBA when Kobe Bryant was a rookie. Somehow, he'll outlast him. Ken has multiple top-10 finishes in the APSE writing contest and one championship to his credit - the 2015 Metropolitan Weightlifting Championships in the 69-kilogram weight class. In basketball, though, he's a heavyweight, appearing regularly on CBS Sports Network and co-hosting "Eye on Basketball" with Jody McDonald on CBS Sports Radio in the spring. He is a certified CrossFit trainer and Precision Nutrition coach who eats burpees for breakfast.
