After starting his journalistic career covering the criminal justice system in his home state of Connecticut, Lowe transitioned to basketball reporting and is today considered one of the premier columnists covering the National Basketball Association (NBA).
[3] He spent two years as a teacher at Cresskill High School in New Jersey[4] before earning a Master of Arts degree in American history (with a thesis on the post-Civil War Reconstruction) from the College of William & Mary.
[10][11] Lowe claims his analytics-based approach to sports-writing is owed to Rob Neyer and John Hollinger,[12] but he attributes his journalism skills to his beat-writer days.
[17] He also wrote a weekly NBA article during the season for ESPN headlined as "Ten Things I Like And Don't Like, Including...".
[23] He is married to Croatian international media consultant Vesna Jaksic,[24] whom he met when both worked for the Stamford Advocate.
