They say that you gotta learn to say ‘no’ at work. I learned that truism the hard way, and nowadays I’m quite a proficient nay-sayer. Sometimes, however, there is just no way to say no. For example, when the editor of your favorite basketball blog asks if you would like to contribute. In that case, the only answer is a resounding yes. My name is August Bembel. I’m a Spurs fan from Germany. Nice to meet you.
When I started following the NBA after the Dream Team left its mark on the global stage at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the Hawks were one of the teams that were shown on German television quite regularly.
