“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. For more recommendations and Stephen Curry debates, hit me up!

I did not follow the traditional route to become a journalist, but my love for basketball and writing has brought me here. Seeing LeBron James? Cleveland Cavaliers make the iconic comeback from a 1-3 deficit in 2016 changed everything for a young engineering aspirant within me. Rather than simply looking at the game, I love to analyze how each player contributes to a team using BPM (Box Plus Minus) and other advanced metrics. I like to incorporate statistics to support my judgment in my writings and report facts that are not often thought of by everyone. As I grew closer to the game, I realized how interesting the players were as well. I am inspired whenever they overcome challenges in their lives. This made me support Michael Porter Jr. in his quest to prove everyone who doubted him wrong. After following the path of MPJ for the past couple of years, I have transitioned to being a Denver Nuggets fan, and seeing them win the 2023 championship has me excited for the future.

“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.
