What an awesome post! The 90’s was a great decade. I was in high school for the first half of the 90’s and I remember the Chicago Bulls being huge around that time. Being in Australia, pre-internet, we only got an hour of NBA a week on television. It was Saturday morning at about 8:00am and was called ‘NBA Hoops’. We’d often have sleepovers at a mate’s place and all get up early to try and catch a glimpse of the Bulls and Jordan in action. We were always really disappointed if there wasn’t at least one Bull’s play in the top ten plays of the week segment!

Thanks! Of course I was a Utah fan, but Jordan was one amazing player! Have you watched any NBA this year? I really haven't... How's your son doing?

I’ve watched a bit, but I find that I watch more of Australia’s national comp now - the NBL. I taught someone who plays for one of the teams and just find it a bit more relatable, plus it’s finally of a calibre that’s almost on par with the MBA now (still way smaller, though). My son likes the NBA, so I watch a bit with him, and still enjoy it. I lost contact with the NBA after I left school, and all of those really good 90’s players were no longer there when I reconnected.

My son’s doing well - always has something going on. He just had his annual heart check up and everything was looking good there, but he has been put on preventative medication, but we were expecting that, so it wasn’t a surprise, at least. I’ve been away from here for a bit; busy organising an awareness raising event that I’m running in September. Hopefully we’ll be able to educate people on DMD and also raise some funds to donate to a local primary school so they can build an accessible playground. Thanks for asking about him - I appreciate that.
