A die hard hoops head. Have played, coached and written about this game at various stages of my 30 years of following. Passionate Oklahoma City Thunder fan. KD is the man, but the whole Thunder fam are the best. MJ, Allen Iverson and Gary Payton are the All Time 3 favourites and I love watching Kyrie Irving (since he is from Melbourne and I got to meet him!)
