As many of you know, Grace is an avid follower of Formula 1 racing, and is a contributor on Formula1Blog.com. Flip learned a lot about F1 from her, and it became a common sight to see the two of them watching a DVR’d race on a Sunday afternoon.

However, what no one could have predicted was that Flip’s tepid but on-going love affair with the Washington Wizards (and the NBA in general) would turn passionate. This did not happen as a result of this season’s epic playoff run, but because we found ourselves enjoying moments on some of our sports shows that made us go “Wow!”

For example, the image you see on this page is from a game between the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers, and it shows one of the Nets players (Paul Pierce) struggling because his headband has fallen over his eyes.

But there are other moments...

Like the one where Jameer Nelson did a cross-over and made him fall on his butt in the middle of the game. It looks like he’s suffered a catastrophic injury, but rest assured, no Paul Pierces were injured during that game. The only injury was to his ego.
In fact, for our wedding, we’ve edited a few of our favorite moments into a single video which you can see below:


Another “hilarious” moment is... Well, what the heck is this fan doing to Marc Gasol?



Long story short, even though neither of us entered this relationship liking pro basketball more than other sports we follow, we’re now miserable because the season is over and we won’t get to enjoy Craig Sager’s suits or Coach Greg Popovich’s terse news conferences and interviews. But we do have something to look forward to next year...


UPDATE: We’ve changed our minds. This is what we’re looking forward to in 2014-2015!
