“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:

“Nothing is given. Everything is earned.” - This LeBron James quote struck me very early in my life. It was LeGOAT who got me glued to the NBA world. I watched him live in action when he won his first championship in Miami. After a decade of falling in love with basketball, I decided to pursue my passion and become an NBA writer at EssentiallySports. My love for the game provides me with a fresh outlook in my articles. In fact, it allows me to deep-dive into the nitty gritty of everything NBA, especially when it comes to live coverage. What also reflects in my writing is my knowledge and expertise in the NBA’s history. I love sprinkling bits and pieces of historical facts in my articles today, allowing me to write almost 500 articles here, including the James Harden trade saga and Damian Lillard’s blockbuster trade to Milwaukee.

“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.
