I currently live in Los Angeles, but will be attending Northwestern University next year. My dad raised me to hate Kobe, so I grew up rooting for the other LA team, the Clippers. The Clippers continue to be my favorite basketball team, no matter what. I am also a huge Dodger fan. Nothing is better than taking in a game at Chavez Ravine. Now that I'm going to Northwestern, I'm obliged to root for the Northwestern Wildcats. Though they may not be known for success in athletics, their football and basketball teams are coming up and are quite competitive in the Big Ten.
