    Fan, that is.

    On January 8th, my wife and I were blessed with a daughter. I spent Tuesday in the hospital watching the Raptors game with my daughter in my arms, and the Knicks game at home, again with my daughter in my arms.

    She enjoyed both the games immensely, and had her eyes transfixed on the TV the whole time.

    Looks like father and daughter are going to spend many more evenings watching the games together (much to the disgust of my wife [​IMG])

    PS - I did not name her Hakeem!

    Congrats Man. You did not name her Hakeem? What did you name her Sheryl Swoopes? Congratulations and the best of luck to you and your wife. Time for the WNBA training to begin? Congrats!

    You think my wife would let me? She's already pissed that I *have* to watch all the Rockets games. We named her Sarah.

    Congratulations...I know just how proud you feel. My son will be one in two weeks...Superbowl Sunday. Last year we got to watch it together after he was born. It's one of those things you always think about, and it's every bit as memorable as you hoped it would be.

    WNBA is a ways away, but she is already a "little dribbler". Good luck to you and your family. And for goodness sakes...take as many pictures as you can, you will never believe how different they are after only one year.
