Name: Dave

How You Got Interested in Basketball: It was a vision in my youth involving a large orange sphere, a megaphone, two quarts of egg nog, a convertible mustang, and Lynda Carter of "Wonder Woman" fame. It's really too complex to get into here but if you'd had it you'd be a basketball fan too.

What Makes You Qualified to Write About Basketball: Usually three beers. On a slow day, four.

Anything You Want To Add: Jessica Alba, call me!

Dave Deckard writes for BlazersEdge.com and has been following the Trail Blazers and the NBA for almost 30 years. When he's not composing epic poetry about Arvydas Sabonis or beating off NBA-writer groupies with a stick Dave makes a merry life in the hinterlands of Idaho.
