I have been a National Basketball Association fan for decades now. I can remember when I was young; I would just sit there on a Sunday afternoon and just stare. Stare without any interruption at my family’s television. Watching the greatness of Michael Jordan‚ who I watched‚ win 6 Championships.

I remember packing for a picnic on the second day of January 2003. It was a family BBQ for a New Years celebration that year. This is something we do every year. My family always goes to the beach‚ it’s a place we loved to spend quality time together. I didn’t know what to start with‚ so I grabbed
