Bio: Being larger than your average man, I naturally gravitated towards the hardwood as youth. At first I was captivated by the Showtime Lakers and later I turned to watching Derek Coleman and Syracuse fall a bucket shy of winning the national title in 1987. Whether I was playing in my high school gym or on the mean streets of Pickering I was pretty much always on a court shooting hoops in my teens. When you see a perfect alley oop or someone block a shot and send the ball careening into the stands there are few events more exciting in the sports world. Follow along as I share my thoughts on the true beautiful game.
