Most people love Christmas. They like the carols, the decorations, the gift shopping, so on, and so on. Me? I'm not much of a Christmas person, but I understand the excitement of the season because I have today.
For me, the NBA Draft is the event of the year. In the weeks leading up to it, I get anxious about how the draft lottery will play out, fret about who the Thunder will take, read every column ESPN's Chad Ford publishes, refresh DraftExpress.com hourly, and spend gobs of time on HoopsHype.com researching salary information so I can dream up trade possibilities. Yes, I'm a basketball nerd, and the NBA Draft is my Star Trek Convention.
