FreeDarko

FreeDarko is Shoals's flagship project and remains his best-known work. Named in reference to NBA player Darko Milicic, the site has attained popularity among basketball fans, sports journalists, and even professional athletes like NBA star Gilbert Arenas. FreeDarko sees frequent citations in the mainstream media, including the ESPN column TrueHoop.[4]

In November 2008, Shoals and other writers for FreeDarko published a book with Bloomsbury Publishing, FreeDarko Presents... The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac.[5][6][7]

In November 2010, the second FreeDarko book, FreeDarko Presents: The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History, was released.[8]

Other projects

In 2006, Shoals created Heaven and Here, a blog on the HBO show The Wire.[9]
