About me:

I live for hoops. Love them, dream them, need them. If there’s a ball bouncing and a net swaying, you’ll find me there—soaking it all in and scribbling down every ounce of how basketball makes people feel.

What makes me grin? Big shots that silence a crowd, lockdown defense that turns momentum, pre-game fits that set the tone, and facial reactions that tell you everything without a single word. I live for those sideline ref exchanges, the stomp of a coach trying to light a fire, and the buzz of a deadline day trade that changes everything. There’s nothing like the energy of an arena before a game—a quiet hum of anticipation that builds possession by possession until the place roars.

And yes, I’m all about the little details: a cold beer in the stands, a cold beer in a can on the walk to the arena, a cold beer after the game, breaking down the action with anyone who’ll listen.

Whether it’s a high school gym or an NBA court, whether it’s New York or Greece, basketball fuels a passion in me that nothing else can. I want to travel the world, watch every game I can, and share the stories that make this game so electric—the ones that show how hoops connect us, move us, and sometimes even change us.
