    Clyde Drexler and Charles Barkley. I remember seeing these two guys play with so much passion, that after the game I went straight to a bball court with some friends. I'm still playing today.

    Charles Barkley got me hooked on basketball. I live in Houston and was a Rockets fan when he played in Philly and for the Suns, and I used to go see Sixers games all the time, when he was a Sixer. I just loved watching him play, and I became a huge basketball fan, because of Barkley. He was my favorite payer, until he reitred, and now Stevie is my fav. Steve and Chuck are my 2 favorite player all-time.

    Michael Jordan.

    Before I moved to Orlando when I was 8, I followed the Bulls and watched Michael Jordan. I remember writing down WGN game times anywhere I could put them so I wouldn't forget to watch a Bulls game.

    After moving to Orlando and living in town for a few years, I became a Magic fan. As for basketball in general....I've always been hooked on the game. Just happens to be an even greater addiction once I found the NBA.
