Here are my top five sports teams, for those of you that know me, these are no-brainers:

  1. New York Jets: As a kid growing up in the greater NYC area, there were two teams televised, the Giants or the Jets. I was a Mets fan in the 80′s and since the Jets played at Shea Stadium I grew up a Jets fan. The years since Joe Willie’s guarantee have not been kind to the Jets but you won’t find a more devoted fan base in the entire sports world. Favorite Jets player: Vinny Testaverde.
  2. New York Mets: My older brother was a Yankees fan so I automatically gravitated to the “younger brother” team, the New York Mets. Favorite Mets player: Mookie Wilson (honorable mention goes to Bill Buckner)
  3. New York Knicks: The Knicks were given a gift when they were awarded the 1st Round Pick in 1985 and chose Georgetown center Patrick Ewing. During the Ewing era, the Knicks were good but Michael Jordan always stood in their way of a championship. Ever since Patrick was traded, I just haven’t had a connection to this team. Favorite Knicks player: Patrick Ewing
  4. Denver Nuggets: I grew up watching the Knicks till I came to Denver to visit in 1994. I caught a Nuggets game and was enamored by the young team. The 1994 team went on to pull off one of the greatest upsets of all time when they beat the #1 seed Seattle Supersonics coached by current Nuggets coach George Karl. I’ve been a fan ever since. Favorite Nuggets player: Carmelo Anthony.
  5. New York Giants: While I grew up a Jets fan, I was also a Giants fan for one reason, they were coached by the king of sarcasm, Bill Parcells. Favorite Giants player: Lawrence Taylor.
