Try to take yourself back to July of 2012. What was on your mind? The EU had worked out an embargo against Iran just months before. The London Olympics were just days away from making Gabby Douglas a star. Being as it was that I had just celebrated my 15th birthday at a local Phoenix high school basketball game, my scope of interests was not quite broad enough to catch these world events.
Sports were a massive part of my life, and as I began to discover a love for those who reported on my favorite Arizona sports teams, the Suns had a big summer looming.
