About Me


Thanks for visiting my blog.  My name is Vijay - I'm a New Yorker working as a NASA Engineer at Florida's Kennedy Space Center.  I'm very fortunate to have such a cool job.  But my true passion is to continue building on my overall NBA know-how and experience, as I spend a majority of my time watching, reading, and learning about the NBA.  I've been watching basketball for 20+ years – so basically since I remember being in existence.  I am among the lucky generation who grew up while being able to watch Michael Jordan in his prime, and my unparalleled interest in the NBA has never faded since.  The more I learn about the game and everyone involved in it, the more passionate I am about the league in general.

Although I grew up as a Michael Jordan fan, I can honestly say that I don’t have a “favorite” team – just ask my friends who get annoyed by this very fact.  Truth be told, I strive to watch and learn about as much about every NBA team as I possibly can.  Also, from traveling and spending time around the country, I know that a lot of perspective can be gained from talking about basketball with fans of every team.  That is why I consider myself a fan of every team.

I encourage anyone that visits my blog to make comments - both good and bad.  I always welcome suggestions to make my blog better, especially its accuracy and objectivity.  I do the best I can as far as objectively assessing all of the hot topics of the league.  Like any basketball fan, writer, player, coach, or GM alike – sometimes I’m right and sometimes I’m wrong.  Whether or not I end up fulfilling my goal to cover the league professionally, I just want to raise every reader’s awareness on different aspects of the league that they may not be aware of (and vice versa), as well as to enhance my own knowledge of the league by reading opinions of others.


In addition to contributing to this blog, I got picked up as a staff writer for FanSided's Saving the Skyhook blog.  Please keep a look out for my latest articles on there, also.
