Once again, we embiggen the staff.
While the Milwaukee Bucks might not be in the market for any new faces in their front office or among their coaching staff, the SB Nation affiliate for said Milwaukee Bucks is in the market for new talent! That’s right: Brew Hoop is looking for new contributors to our staff ahead of the 2025–26 NBA season, and we’d love to hear from you.
I just wrapped up my second full season as managing editor; in that time, we’ve already brought some outstanding voices aboard, whose bylines you’re already familiar with and whose work you’ll see even more of moving ahead. But that’s bittersweet, as we’ve had to say goodbye to a few longtime writers who are moving on to bigger and better things! Nevertheless, we press on covering this team, despite all their warts and three consecutive first-round exits. I swear, even with how things have gone, we have fun doing it!
So, won’t you join us? If you have a deep interest in NBA basketball (particularly the Bucks), a passion for writing, and bringing quality analysis to our international readership, you’ll fit in well. Maybe you’ve written about the Bucks for your school paper, started a personal blog, or are an avid Twitter user who wants to try something long-form. Perhaps you want to break into sports journalism, are looking for another avenue to experience the league with like-minded fans, or are somewhere in between.
This part-time position is paid and includes additional money-making opportunities with our partners at Playback and FanDuel. Brew Hoop writers have the opportunity to cover NBA games in person as credentialed media at Fiserv Forum and select road games. Once approved, that means access to media spaces on game day, including press conferences with NBA coaches and players. Summer League, the NBA All-Star Game, the NBA Draft and Draft Combine are also events we’ve covered recently in person. Podcast and potentially radio appearances can be involved too, depending on your interest. Our alums have gone on to work for local and national media outlets like ESPN, The Athletic, and Forbes, as well as pro and college sports teams.
A background in journalism is not required, but we ask that you send a writing sample, resume, and an introduction to brewhoop@sbnation.com with “Brew Hoop Staff Application” in the subject line. Knowing how you first got into the Bucks and/or the NBA would also be great. Women and members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply!
