The Story
I'm Joey Daly. I'm 11 years old and I've been watching the NBA since I was 6. I play basketball for the NOVA Knicks (5th grade) and I pretty much think about basketball 24/7. I started The Daly Bucket because I wanted a place to write about everything I love about the game — not just the scores, but the sneakers, the culture, the hot takes, all of it.
I write every word myself. Every recap, every review, every prediction. If you're reading The Daly Bucket, you're getting my real thoughts — no filter. Thanks for being here. Let's get buckets.
