Alex Santiago has been a diehard Lakers fan ever since the 2007 season. And like many others, Kobe Bryant was the reason basketball ultimately turned into a passion. He loves the NBA, college hoops, and considers March Madness the real holiday season. Currently finishing his last semester at Rutgers University where he will graduate with a degree in sports journalism and media. Covering any type of basketball has always been a dream, very excited to see where this path leads.
