About Michael »

Graduated from ___ University with a B.A. in History and currently residing in Queens, NY, he has been a basketball fan for most of his life and an NBA analyst amongst his sports friends for over 10 years now. Because he isn't subscribed to NBA League Pass like many basketball fanatics, he watches all games on ESPN, TNT, ABC, or via illegal websites. One thing is clear, he is not a team fan, but a players fan. Does this mean he hops on player's bandwagons? No. Like how other fans stick to their teams through good and bad seasons, he sticks with his favorite players through winning and losing seasons. A person can love The Last Supper, but doesn't need to be a Da Vinci Fan. A person can love the iPod for life, but doesn't need to be a fan of Apple, Inc. One reason for that is due to the vast number of bad team owners and management who cripple teams for many decades at a time. They don't deserve the loyal love.

The goal is to contribute to the community with articles written from a factual perspective, and for the most part, backed up with statistics, primary, and secondary sources.

It's time to prepare the throne, the King has arrived in New York! Lebron James made his only appearance of the season at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks tonight. Take a look.

How are you Michael.
You commented on one of my previous articles, AI vs LBJ, well I dont think you ever saw, but I did reply, just so you know, if you want to check it out, and get back at me.

I see you are a tennis fan, from your favorite athletes, is that right? if so I have 2 tennis articles you may enjoy.
By the way, the article on AI/LBJ. I wrote it a while ago. So how did you ever find it, and chose that specific one to read and look for?
