"Mountains are made to be climbed aren't they! You can't lay down and say this is over"

I’m Sameen and I’m an NBA Primary Editor at EssentiallySports. The first game of basketball I ever saw was LeBron James’ iconic Game 6 performance vs the Boston Celtics in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, and I instantly fell in love. To this day, that remains one of the purest basketball performances I've ever seen. From that day, I decided that LeBron James is the best player that the sport has ever seen, and every performance of his since then continues to further strengthen my belief.

As a basketball player, my biggest inspirations in-game are Stephen Curry, due to his ridiculous movement, and Kyle Korver, whose catch-and-shoot ability left me awestruck whenever I watched him play. 

When I’m not working, you can find me playing soccer, basketball, or almost any other sport. Manchester United and Ferrari are my two biggest loves, and you’ll never find me not listening to Taylor Swift.

“If you don't fall how are you going to know what getting up is like." - Reading this, it’d be pretty much evident how much I love and am in awe of Stephen Curry. His Warrior spirit flows right in my veins. Growing up in a household where basketball was worshipped, it was natural. I was bound to become either an NBA player or an NBA journalist. I chose the latter, because of my interest in Journalism as well. So I decided to repackage my enthusiasm and come here at EssentiallySports. Now, I am writing about NBA and the Warriors day in and day out. Being a basketball writer has been a joy ride for me, since I get to churn out fresh takes on players and team dynamics daily. Other than writing and NBA, my interests include reading. I absolutely love Nike’s founder Phil Knight’s biography - Shoe Dog. If you’re a sports lover like me, do give it a read.
