I'm interested (in an insane-stalker kind of way) what everyone's like! BostonI'm 25. Last summer I graduated with almost first class honors in Art History from the University of Kent in Canterbury. I'm obsessed with basketball but none of my friends know who Kobe Bryant is, let alone care! I've played ball since age 9, when I used to live in Melbourne in Australia. I would've made my Uni team if it weren't for a disasterous bout of laryngitis that screwed me over during the last round of tryouts! The reason I got laryngitis was because I'm a singer/guitarist and play around my town and had been singing too much My favorite bands are Deftones, Incubus, Radiohead, Nirvana and The Beatles. My girlfriend plays cello, piano and bass guitar and we rock! Tomorrow I'm playing at her Uni's summer-ball! Can't think of much else except maybe posting my MySpace or Facebook profiles, but I really only add people I know IRL anyway.

New Jersey Im 15, and I live in North Carolina. I am the top student in my class and spend a lot of time studying and doing work. I really enjoy not only basketball, but all sports. I started playing soccer (football for Boston) at the age of 4 and I would like to think Im pretty good. I dont play any sports for my school but Im on county basketball and baseball teams. I would probably say that Im better at baseball than any other sport, but I like to keep track of and watch basketball more than any other sport.
I can beat anyone here in NBA 2k7 for 360 lol
In my spare time I pretty much just play sports, mainly basketball now, only baseball in season and I dont really play soccer as much as I used to.

I'm 16, i'm in the top 10% (class rank 42 out of 700 ) in one of the hardest high schools in Texas (Flower Mound High School, its like the the third hardets school ). I, like Boston, am obsessed with basketball, but unfortunately not many other people are because football=life down here. I play alot of basketball at Lifetime (its a gym if you didn't know), but nothing organized. I'm a HUGE Mavs fan, but i also am a huge Texas Tech fan (Bobby Knight and Avery Johnson are my idols). My life is pretty boring, but i have had a few brushes with fame. I once met Devean George in the concession stand of the Christmas Day Cowboys/Eagles game. I also live up the street from Jason Terry, but have only seen him once. I was also once shown on T.V. during the TNT coverage of Game 5 of the Mavs/Warriors series (i was there obviously). Lastly and most importantly, i've met Chuck Norris three times at the gym and he knows my name!

Plus, it looks like we have a large group of intelligent people here, frankly i'm very impressed.

Minnesota T-Wolves Gm: "The Future is Coming"~
I'm 27, I live in Hagerstown, Maryland. I have been Married for two years now and I have been with my wife for 6. We have a son that is 4 and his name is Brady. He's my future basketball buddy. I don't have the best job(server), nor have I had the best life. I do know one thing though, I love Basketball-Go Arenas and Wizards!
I graduated High school back in 98. I was a major party person.(still am) I have to admit Ive done most drugs out there, but things have changed over the years. Gotta be responsible now. I grew up in foster homes and in boys homes and did a little jail time, but everthing happens for a reason and I dont regret one bit of it.
I have my own league.(LoveTheGame League). A few of the GM's here are there I think. Nets is one of them and he is a boss in my league. Ive been in several leagues, but this is one of my top 2.
Glad to be part of the league and any questions dont feel afraid to pm me.
Best of luck to everyone this season. Win it now, cuz Minny [glow=red,2,300]will be back!!![/glow]

I'm 15 and other than that all my stuff is pretty much the same as my bro's lol.
The only difference is that i play basketball and hockey for the high school. I am a great hockey player and an ok basketball player. At basketball, i'm kind of a one-dimensional player. I can shoot three's real well and i am a shot-blocking master, but thats it. At only 5'10", i broke our school's shot-block record with a little over 3 a game (i play on the top JV team, but the record is for varsity and junior varsity) lol.
Another thing is that my bro is smarter than me, and while he is looking into a sports management or sports journalism career, i hope to play professional hockey.

I'm 16 year old and um...go to school? Haha. My school is basically the top ranked in Chicago. There's two others better than mine but the thing is they have far less people(1000 to our 2000) and the "best" school is indeed based on average test scores and what not. Plus, my school was 2nd in the nation in Academic Decathlon just this year(if you care) and if you don't care, soon to be #1 in the State of Illinois for Basketball with the arrival of Marcus Jordan(Micheal Jordan's son) next year. We were ranked like 11th, with basically three sophs starting. Big Basketball fan, love the Chicago Bulls and just as big as a Football fan as basketball, I would watch more baseball it's just the White Sox and Cubs are god awful(White Sox more so, but I'm a Sox fan...) I play football for my school, just started this year so I expect to not to do anything amazing, oh I'm Asian too so that against me. And about the intelligence thing...I guess if I didn't fail Trignometry(let's just blame it on family issues), I could graduate this year, but no. I have to go back and take the one math credit. Oh, this is also my first fantasy league. I seem to have a knack for these kinds of things cuz I'm kicking everyone's ass and taking names!... jk. don't hurt me

I seem to have a knack for these kinds of things cuz I'm kicking everyone's ass and taking names!... jk. don't hurt me Your lucky, our basketball team sucks (made the playoffs for first time in school's 8 year history, but lost in first round), and our football team was good, but turned all laguna beach/oc/the hills on us when our star QB (he's a sophomore but one of the high school QB's in Texas, not to mention sooooooooooo rich) went and transfered to our cross town rival Marcus. Everytime i think about it i think off that quote from the wierd guy in Waterboy when they found out bobby didn't finish HS... "Oh no, we suck again!" and "Cut his f***ing head off!" We were the number 1 baseball team in team in the state though and number 3 in the nation, but lost in the playoffs (o yeah and the reason why the QB transfered was because our baseball team was so good that he couldn't start, so he transfered to Marcus so he could) And our wrestling team was the best in the state until some hazing thing almost got the whole program shut down and was state-wise news. My brother was one of the freshman that got hazed last year lol. Remember that Ryan lol?

yeah that was gay, it was basically the EXACT same thing as the duke lacrosse case thing, only instead of a black woman saying she got raped, a stupid freshman played the whole sexual assualt card.
Nothing happened but a little rough-housing and definately no sexual assualt, just some kid who wanted a little attention and some money after they sued everyone (ironically his last name was "hardon"). I got thrown around a bit, but not hurt...and not penetrated lol.
He got the best wrestling coach in texas fired, half of our best wrestlers dismissed from the team and our season ruined, only for all the charges to be dropped later and the DA (district attorney or dumbass, whichever works) was brought up on ethics charges.

I am 15, and live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which is in Canada. I am in grade 10, and have been told my entire life that I'm a very bright person, that is just too lazy to work. But it's more just that I do not like school for the most part. My sisters teacher told her, that I'm one of the smartest kids she's ever taught, that is just not motivated enough to work. I disagree. I think I'll try in grade 12 if I really want to get some scholarships.
I have played basketball since grade 5, and was really garbage at first. But by grade 7, I was starting on my schools Grade 8 team. (not much of an accomplishment since I went to catholic school) But in grade 8, I got pretty good and was second in the catholic division in scoring, despite our shitty team finishing in 7th. In grade 9, I transfered to a public school with a strong team, and we finished 9th in the province that year, despite being one of the smallest schools. I was the third leading scorer that year, and it was a pretty fun season. Grade 10, we all moved into the big high school, and we were ranked 4th in the province. I began the year as one of the first guys off the bench, but by the end of the year, I was reduced to splinters. Our coach was really a tool though, and I don't think one guy on the team liked him. I'm just not athletic enough to play Varsity, and I don't even want to.
Reason being, I'm in a punk band now. "The Secks" Yeah it's fuckin clever. I play bass and sing in a 3 piece old school punk ala The Ramones, The Clash, The Germs. We are buying a mixer, and plan on recording a 15 song cd this summer.
I smoke dope once or twice a week, and drink beer only. (bad experiences with hard alcohol) Nothing to serious though.
I'm a huge Toronto Raptors fan, and would pay 5 dollars to suck Chris Bosh. I kid. I have met Kris Humphries, and actually took a piss with him. (It wasn't that spectacular) I'm also a big Arizona Wildcats fan, and in the NFL I cheer for the Bills. I am a huge supporter of CFL football, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are my team. I watch a bit of the NHL, but since Winnipeg has no team anymore, I cheer for the Ottawa Senators.
All in all, my life is alright.

Hey I'm James (Jimie) McGowan and I’m 21. I just moved out to Phoenix, AZ from Lock Haven, PA to attend the Art Institute of Phoenix (my major is Game art and Design, which pretty much means video games). I’ve always hung out with the stoner crowed( which meant not to many of them were into sports). I have had an on and off love of sports, I’m pretty much back into them now because of college sports. I don’t have much of a social life, I spend most of my time listening to music, at school and on sim league sites. I like hearing that some of you are into music and playing in bands, especially punk bands (I don’t really have the talent or attention span to play an interment).
(p.s hey Minnesota I’m the Kings in LoveTheGame League)

My name is Kevin and I just turned 20 a few days ago. (By the way: Happy Birthday Milwaulkee!) I was born just outside of Trenton, New Jersey, and I have lived here my whole life. I'm going to be graduating from community college this fall, and I will be transferring to Rutgers for the spring semester. My major is Business Administration so I am hoping to enroll in the Business School at Rutgers next fall. I work at Lowe's (the home improvement store, not the movie theatre) in the flooring section. After college, I will either look for a job in the business field, or I might just go to the police academy. If both of those plans fail, I guess I'll just resort to prostituting myself or dealing crack. As for hobbies, I LOVE basketball, even more than my girlfriend (please don't tell her that ) and my favorite team is the New York Knicks. As far as playing basketball, I would probably compare my game to a hybrid of Lebron, Kobe, MJ, Bird, and Wilt Chamberlain. I also enjoy watching football, and my favorite team is the Colts. I bought my XBOX 360 in March and play it a lot, especially Call of Duty 3, the greatest game in the history of the world. I really enjoy sim leagues as well, but this is the only one that I am in this year. I joined like 4 leagues last year, but they all went belly-up before the summer ended. This league rocks, though, and it has some great GM's.
