Basketball Season starts today: The Lakers are ready for a 3-peat

I’ve been a Laker fan since the sixties, and am converting all five of my grandchildren! Basketball is my favorite sport. I’ve had the opportunity to play with some really good teams during my playing days.

Most notably, the Cleveland, Ohio city team I played guard for in 1972, and the 101st MP team that I played small forward with in 1971 (we won the 5th Army Championship that year).

I played in men’s leagues up to 1991 until I sustained a back fracture rebounding. By then, I had broken both ankles, several fingers, both of my knee were in need of surgery, and I was overweight. Reluctantly, I retired from the sport I love. I tried playing briefly 1n 1993 but a back stabilization surgery ended that.
