“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.

My introduction to basketball was through Kobe Bryant. Soon enough, I was hooked to his game and although I started with being a fan of his, I also became a fan of basketball. To this day, Kobe remains my reference and guide as I try to navigate through life. I began my writing journey when I was pursuing law and merging the two worlds together was a no-brainer. I got an opportunity to put my thoughts, analysis, and opinions about the game of basketball, and I consider myself fortunate to be able to do this. My aspiration in this field of work doesn't stop here and I wish to explore as much as I can while constantly adding new skill sets. Other than the world of sports, I draw my inspiration in life from my heroes from the world of hip-hop music, especially from the late 80s to the early 00s. When I'm not in front of a screen watching my favorite teams perform magic, you can find me with my headphones on, trying to dissect a bar from my favorite artist.
