About Vikram »

I'm a die hard Houston Rockets fan, and love the NBA in general. I'll try to watch any game whether it's on national tv, or league pass. Any chance to learn about the history of the game, or discuss the NBA, you know I'll be there.

I only started following the NFL recently, so I'm still waiting for the day my San Francisco 49ers make the playoffs.
