Huge NBA fan and the Warriors/Stephen Curry. Writing about the sport I love is what I'm passionate about. #gettingbuckets #neverstopballin #yeahiballwithahat #stylingandprofiling #wearingkicksaretomainstream If you're having a bad today just remember the 73-9 Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals so they then begged the 2nd best player in the world to join them to beat LeBron.
