Hi folks, Alicia here. You’ll be seeing me around Clips Nation on occasion moving forward. I cover soccer, too, but I’ve been an NBA fan since 1988. My own basketball career died in eighth grade when everyone had a growth spurt except me, but I still enjoy watching people who are actually good at the sport play at a high level.
I’ve been living in Southern California since 2005 and last year I saw Steve Ballmer get a personal tour at an L.A. soccer game, so the man gets out of the house a lot. I also think about what motivational tactic Doc Rivers has used to motivate this group a lot, like the time he stashed a bunch of $100s in the ceiling at Staples Center when he coached the Celtics.
