The Beginning of the Blog

I have created this blog to share the excitement and drama of being a fan of the NBA with other fans of the sport, and to help others understand how I could become a rather rabid fan of professional basketball, as I am a very girly girl that is typically pondering such heavy issues as what DVF wrap I'll wear to the next social function, whether Seven's or Joe's are my favorite denims or the age old battle of Jimmy Choo vs Manolo Blahnik (Manolo's, clearly). I have noticed such shock and surprise when people hear me speak of basketball, and I hear them ask in baffled tones, "How does SHE know about basketball?". I have pondered these reactions and wondered, is it because a. I am not a man b. I live in a small gulf coast beach village far from any NBA team or c. I am too much of a lady to really get behind such a sport? After much thought, I prefer to believe that these folks think that I am just so adorable that I somehow couldn't possibly choose ESPN and TNT over Oprah, or savor the pages of Sports Illustrated* rather than InStyle.

I was not planning to start blogging officially until late Summer when the preseason fever was spiking, but I'm feeling really NBA crazed these days, so I've changed my mind. The playoffs are amazing and right after the playoffs we'll be dealing with a red hot draft and the craziest free agents on the block. Play off action is already on fire and after the draft and trades, teams will be shaken up like a cold martini, and yours truly will be sipping on all of that information and will report my thoughts on those new developments.

I am very thankful for my early blog supporters, Brenda, Heather, Mathilda and Andy.
