Krish Loves Basketball!

One of Krish's all-time favorite sports has always been basketball!  He has loved the sport since he was two!  Currently, he loves playing it and watching it.  I remember when he started watching the NCAA Championship for the first time with Daddy right after he turned 4 years old!  (That's when we discovered what a wiz he was at math--calculating the differences in the scores in his head in a matter of seconds!  Often in the double digits!)

Since then, he enjoys watching the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers play in addition to the Mavericks.  He also watches the NBA Playoffs and Finals with Daddy.  He recently picked up a new show, called Dunk Kings, that inspired him to start creating his own special dunks on our 4-foot basketball hoop!

In addition to watching basketball, he, of course, loves to play basketball!  He has been playing since he was two, and when he was four, he started a dribbling drills class that he participated in biweekly for almost a year.  Ever since then, his passion for playing the sport only increased, and we all couldn't wait for the time to come when he would play on an actual team! 

Krish developed a love for the game at a mere age 2!

My little baller!

Some videos from Krish's Dribbling Drills Class with Coach Moussa!

Well the time came this past year in Kindergarten when his grade formed a Greenhill KG team, the Hornet Swarm, through the YMCA league in the winter.  We were all very excited and Daddy even became the team's coach!  Krish had an amazing season and start to the season!  In his first game, he scored 18 points, and their team's record for the season was 7-1.  Needless to say, both Daddy and Krish were so proud, and so were Mommy, Arjun, Dada, Ba, Nana, Nani, Tanya Masi, Tricia Masi, Atul Masa and Mr. Alfredo!  (All who came to watch Krish play throughout the season).
