I am an avid NBA fan.
I love basketball! When I'm flying, and I have on sweats, a hat, and sneakers, people always assume that I'm a high school kid going to an away game. And I always say no, I'm a fan of the game.
I'm a big Knicks fan, and I will tell a professional basketball player that they suck because they didn't do what I wanted them to do.
I've always been a big-time Scottie Pippen fan. That was my guy growing up!
I am a huge Pistons fan. Those were some of my best times in college, watching the Detroit Pistons.
I'm a basketball junkie. I watch basketball all the time.
I grew up a Lakers and a Clippers fan.
I'm a basketball fan, I'm a fan of greatness and I think anybody who knows anything about basketball knows great shooters.
As a basketball fan, I get sick and tired of people talking about numbers. To me, the world is getting too materialistic.
I'm a big sports fan - mainly basketball.
My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.
I grew up watching LeBron.
I'm a huge NBA fan and have been for a really long time.
My favorite player is Carmelo; that's just a guy I've been rocking with since he was at Syracuse. I've always been a big fan of Melo.
I'm a Cubs fan, a Bulls fan.
Growing up, I was a Detroit Pistons fan, being from Flint. During not the Bad Boys but Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace era, and growing up, I always wanted to be a Piston.
I've always watched the NBA growing up.
I'm so excited to play with Udonis Haslem.
I'm a huge fan of the game. It's beyond a fringe benefit of obviously getting to work at the league office. I watch a ton of games in person, on television, on all forms of new media I follow the league. And so it's just beyond my wildest imaginations to me to now be the commissioner of the NBA.
[Spike Lee ] went to a game six playoff game at Indiana which was a hostile environment believing we could bring it back to New York for a game seven. That's just the kind of person he is. Also his commitment to the team and our friendship.
Chick Hearn was my favorite broadcaster ever - he's the one who taught me to think basketball, how to love basketball.
I'm a huge, huge sports fan, and Marquette basketball is my No. 1 thing.
I've learned that my son is obsessed with basketball. He sits down and watches the games with me, and wants to go play all the time.
Baseball is like cricket, and I grew up in a country where they had cricket. So I understand cricket, soccer and basketball. I played basketball at the club level and a little bit in college, so that's why I'm a basketball fanatic.
I love guys who have roots. Paul Pierce has roots embedded in Boston.
