It's almost here, the wait is finally almost over!

Basketball season is just around the corner and like countless other fans, I am more than excited. A lot has happened in this past offseason. Kevin Durant left Oklahoma, Dwyane Wade went to Chicago and Mike Conley signed an outrageous deal worth around $27 million a year. So by the time this article will be out, preseason will have begun and once again we can cheer on our favorite teams. Here are a few tips to get you ready for the long 82 game season.

First, find a place to watch the games, it could be the lobby of your dorm, the living room in your apartment, really wherever you want to. The key is to be out in the open a little bit so that people (especially fans of the other teams) can hear you cheer. Basketball can really bring people together so why not let it do just that?

Second, make sure to stock up on snacks for the games, they will be kind of long and you will be more than kind of hungry. Third, dust off that old hat or jersey of your favorite team and wear it with pride, it's your team and your team is clearly the best.

Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to have fun. After a game go out with some friends and practice your shot or have a discussion about your favorite players and teams and why your team totally should have won. Basketball is meant to be fun, it is a game after all so while it's nice to see your team win, remember there are 82 games so not every game will be a win (even with Kevin Durant on the Warriors).
