I am a Graduate Student completing my Master's in Sports Journalism at USC. I'm a die-hard basketball and sports fanatic from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Since I saw Space Jam in '96 at three years old, which is also the same year my favourite player of all time Kobe Bryant was drafted, I've been an NBA junkie. I'm highly basketball savvy and look forward to sharing my unique perspective, opinions and predictions.
