About Kerrie Jacobs-Bryant
Kerrie joined GiveMeSport as an academy writer in March 2023 to embark on the journey to achieving her dream career path. She primarily writes about the NBA but is also comfortable reporting on a variety of other sports including football, NFL, F1, MLB, Cricket and WWE.
Sport dominates Kerrie’s life and she is a huge Los Angeles Lakers and Baltimore Ravens supporter, often adjusting her sleep schedule during the NBA/NFL season to match that of her teams. She is also a huge Red Bull Racing fan, much to her peers’ disgust.
When not writing about sport, you can catch her glued to NFL Redzone on a Sunday, as well as having multiple screens set-up to ensure she doesn’t miss any Grand Prix’s or any Premier League games if on simultaneously.
Alternatively, you will find Kerrie either on a basketball court coaching the next generation of British basketball talent, or at football and cricket stadiums across the UK watching the NFL London Games, The Lionesses, England, or Surrey CCC.
