My name is Jason Mills and I have been contributing basketball articles to Sportskeeda for about a year now. I am from and live in Toronto Canada and hold a diploma in Travel and Tourism. I am a lover of sports in particular basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, and American football. Sports have always been a big part of my life as I played several sports during my school years. I grew up watching the showtime Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s and Magic Johnson is my all-time favorite hoopster. While the Lakers hold a special place in my heart as of 1995 my home town Raptors are my team.

Cooking, reading, writing, and movies are enjoyable for me but sports is my passion. I can talk sports all day every day if possible.
