Basketball

I am a competitive basketball player and NBA follower. I have grown up playing basketball in high school and watching NBA matches early morning in Mumbai and tracking player statistics as a passion. Stephen Curry is my all-time favorite NBA player, and I felt elated visiting Chase Center in 2023. Though I started off learning basketball through mirroring NBA player actions and correcting my form through trial and error, rigorous formal coaching at school has helped improve my game and consistency over the period. I have represented DBIS in multiple State and National level tournaments across U15/U17/U19 cohorts as a starting point guard and won several individual and team awards over the years. I intend to continue pursuing this passion into my undergraduate years. Given my passion for tracking NBA statistics, I ended up writing two research papers focusing on player and team level drivers and tracking evolution of the game into a faster, offensive version driven by a surge in three-point shooting in last 10 years.
