About binks »

What can i say? I just love tennis - watching, playing and even reading about it! I am also a big F1 nut but my obsession with the sport has diminished marginally in the post Schumacher era. I used to play different sports thru my school and college days - TENNIS, volleyball, table tennis, throw ball but given that I am working full time now I find it quite hard to make the time for that. I work for a software firm so my job has pretty much nothing to do with sports of any kind, but I love tennis and I stumbled upon this site looking for articles on tennis and when i read I could sign up and write articles for people to read, I thought why not? So here I am!
I hope you guys enjoy reading my articles and look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Binks,

My latest article - "Michael Jordan ends the debate over LeBron James and Kobe Bryant." ... Its a (hopefully) very humorous article, tickling the current great debate over who is the best player in the NBA!

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/192314-micheal-jordan-ends-the-debate-over-lebron-james-and-kobe-bryant

If you are interested, do read it. I hope you'll find time, thanks so much :)

-Rocky.
