Basketball

Although my wife has been begging me to stop (especially after my recent knee surgery), I still try to play basketball. I'm the weekend warrior type (although it is mostly lunchtime warrior rather than weekend warrior). Due to age, knees, and general slowness, I'm not the run and gun type, but prefer more of a set-up offense. I play both the 4 and 5 positions, but can step outside as a 3 at times.

The teams I follow are the Penn Quakers (my alma mater - I was there in the glory days of the 70's), and the Philadelphia 76ers (although not anywhere as rabidly as I did in the 70's and 80's). I was a 76er fan before they were even the 76ers, having gone to school with a couple of Dolph Shayes' children when I and the team were in Syracuse. (I guess that dates me a bit.)

I don't tend to watch as much basketball on television as I used to, but give me "March madness" over any other televised sport event.
