Welcome to "My Game Archive"! I created this site as a place to record my thoughts on the greatest game on Earth....Basketball. Specifically, NBA basketball. I have been a life-long fan and can, hopefully, share some insightful and entertaining thoughts on different games across the Association (and occasionally basketball in other forms).
My love of the game began in the late 80's/early 90's. Forever a fan of the underdog, I grew up a huge New York Knicks supporter. While the Knicks, with legends like Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, and John Starks (at least in my opinion these are legends), were a dominant team, they always fell short to the Bulls (understandable and heart breaking) and, at times, to the Pacers (unacceptable).
This love of the Knicks led to a hatred of Michael Jordan. His year after year dominance against my Knicks was hard to take. Towards the end of his career (pre-Wizards) I came to appreciate his greatness rather than root against it. I never became a Bulls fan, but came to enjoy watching him play. I still regret all the years I avoided watching him play. I have learned from this though. I try to watch greatness before it goes away. The Tim Duncan Spurs, the Curry/Thompson/Durant Warriors, the current OKC Thunder. I never liked the Shaq/Kobe Lakers (and still don't), but the Kobe years with Gasol and Odom I did like.
Around 2000, I moved to the Bay Area, and due to it being the only thing I could watch consistently on TV...I became a Warriors fan. Having survived the horrid years of Warriors basketball (horrid might be too strong. they were fun to watch even when they were losing games year after year after year) I got to revel in the joy of the Dynasty that came. The Warriors have surpassed the Knicks as my favorite team and I don't think that'll ever change.
Ok, I've rambled enough.
I understand that blogs are probably outdated at this point and I have low expectations for viewership, but we'll see.
Welcome and thank you for stopping by.
