Caroline John is a senior NBA writer at EssentiallySports. She holds a Masters degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from a reputed university. With 8 years of experience in content writing and after judiciously covering the life of Shaquille O’Neal, she earned an exclusive interview with the CEO of Shaq’s Big Chicken franchise, Josh Halpern. Initially, it was the philanthropic versions of NBA icons LeBron James and O’Neal that drew her to start following the sport. And today, she has become a trustworthy voice covering the same names. Caroline never goes unnoticed! An article on Shaq, AKA DJ Diesel, and rapper GAWNE even caught the eye of the 4x NBA champion as he shared it on Instagram. When away from ES Desk, Carloline can be found immersed in books.
