I'm a journalism student at the University of North Texas and have been a Spurs fan since sixth grade. The trade deadline and opening day of free agency are basketball Christmas to me, and Spurs life after the Big Three is always on my mind. And don't worry, the doctor says I'm on my way to a full recovery from the dagger in my chest caused by Ray Allen.
