"I am always focused on getting better. I never want to settle for mediocrity", reflects Luka Doncic’s unwavering dedication to personal growth and excellence. And just like him, I am constantly working on myself, improving my game! The first time I fell in love with basketball though was when I saw Kobe Bryant play. He inspired me to take up basketball, but because of my ankle injury, I could not pursue my passion. But that did not stop me, the fighter spirit of not settling for a life of mediocrity brought me here - an NBA writer for EssentiallySports. So, even though I am not on the court, I imagine myself on the hardwood, surrounded by all the noise, footsteps, and gameplay, to write stories you’d like to hear. It’s not just Luka who inspires me, I also find true inspiration in Curry and Antetokounmpo. On the journalistic front, I am building my expertise in basketball's lifestyle segment, including understanding sporting personalities, and their brand endorsements, trades, and their personal lives. Outside of living and breathing basketball. I am a student who loves to listen, write, compose, and engineer music. I am a multi-genre artist, but I am mostly into making music in the hip-hop/rap genre.

“Not only is there more to life than basketball, there’s a lot more to basketball than basketball” - Jackson had a simple philosophy when he was coaching the Lakers. He wanted everyone to succeed and grow in the service of something bigger than themselves. This is what struck me the most. A simple, badminton player accidentally fell in love with basketball so much that she decided to become an NBA writer at EssentiallySports. My love began after I started watching LeBron James highlights and his gameplay was so refreshing for me, I had to utilie my English degree to start writing about him and the sport. Today, as an NBA writer, I am writing for not just Lakers but many other players and teams, sharing my passion with my son and my daughter. But when I am not writing, you’d find me on my couch watching Lucifer, Grimm or even Bridgerton! Want to know more about me? Hit me up on the following links:

“Learn to thrive in thorns in order to become the rose of your life”. I like this very idea of resilience and how it defines six and seven footers of the NBA. They fall down, but they never stay down. And this makes me unleash my Mamba Mentality to be the first among the equals when it comes to deconstructing the game with my insightful writings. Before becoming an NBA writer at EssentiallySports, I graduated as a happy-go-lucky fellow in Advertisement and Journalism from Punjab Technical University. The life in and outside the campus revolved around sports, more so, around basketball. This intimate association makes me an adept analyst and an insightful scribe.

“Basketball isn’t an act of jumping jacks, it’s a sport mirroring life through assists and rebounds”. Before becoming an NBA writer at EssentiallySports, I was drawn to the world of basketball when 'The Chosen One' first started locking horns with 'His Airness' over the GOAT debate. Some discourses shape your imagination and rightly so. This court debate inspired me to write some stirring sports stories. My Masters in English Literature only helped my cause. And now when women basketball players are coming of age, I root for LeBron James’ “sis” A’ja Wilson and a college sensation, Angel Reese. But the sharpshooter Sabrina Ionescu specially pierces my heart with her sensational strikes. But when I’m not in the game zone, I quietly retire to my corner with a speculative fiction in hand. This is when I channelize my inner Harry Potter to create some fantasies and possibilities.

“Monks don’t retire to mountains for Nirvana, they go there in search of the lost script”. That was me as an engineer looking for a place where my ‘ikigai’ of doing things could be realized. The feeling became fierce when I watched the legendary trio of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman creating commotion. It was their court swagger that made me fall in love with the nitty-gritty of the sport. After finding kinetics and mechanics of my life in research and twisting plots, I ended up at EssentiallySports as an NBA writer. I love to bring fan perspectives, with a little bit of cliffhanging effect, on the table. The act makes me a representative of the masses and the classes eager to offer two-cents on the game they treat larger than life.

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best” - Tim Duncan said this once, and I took it as a sign to keep working on myself, without fail! Being a basketball player all my life, it was natural for me to eventually become an NBA writer at EssentiallySports. Being a Spurs fan, I fell in love with Duncan and McGrady for making me the fan I am today. Their dedication to their field inspired me to never give up, despite my knee surgeries. Today, as an NBA writer, I get to share my unique perspectives with the world. The fact that I actually get to write about the things that I love, especially while getting to watch them live, it something I love about my job. With San Antonio landing a cornerstone for their franchise in Wembanyama, make sure you are paying close attention to Spurs-based pieces. When I am not knee-deep into all things basketball, I am gaming. I love PUBG, NBA2K and Forza Horizon. Want to have a spirited debate on my articles? Hit me up on the links below.
