Our Story
As much as Priya hates to admit it, this is the true story of love and basketball. She’ll tell you it’s about two individuals crossing paths on their journey to pursue their dreams, but don’t listen to any of that nonsense...because #ballislife.
In 2015, I moved to Atlanta to start a new job with NBA TV and soon met Priya, who had lived in Atlanta most of her life but had plans to move to New York City in just a few months. In my eagerness to check out a new city and her effort to see all of Atlanta before she left, we bonded over exploring Atlanta together through Priya's extremely detailed "Atlanta Bucket List". Spending all that time together, we both eventually caught the feels -- I even started to find myself in an unfamiliar place called “brunch” just so I could hang out with her. The thought of a long distance relationship was pretty scary for both of us, but in the end...I had to shoot my shot.
Priya eventually moved to NYC later that year, and then Chicago after that…all the while I stayed in Atlanta with my first true love, the NBA. Long distance was tough, but fast-forward 3 years and many flights later, Priya moved back to Atlanta and we're finally back in the same city, but this time…#balliswife
