The Inspiration

Here is the video that my sister-in-law showed me of Stephen Curry and Harrison Barnes floating at Reboot Float Spa in San Francisco.

The NBA champs are floating. Literally. In his latest "Hang Time" feature, ESPN's Sam Alipour catches up with NBA MVP Stephen Curry and Harrison Barnes to learn more about floating, a sensory-deprivation exercise that allows the Warriors to recover after games. (SportsCenter debut: 12/10/15)

I had heard of sensory deprivation tanks before watching this video.  I just did not know where you could go to try it out.

Growing in the Bay Area and playing basketball since I was a young child, my favorite team has always been the Golden State Warriors.  One of my earliest childhood memories is watching one of their basketball games when I was only five or six years old on one of the first color television sets that I had ever seen.  I remember the gold uniforms and how they ran up and down the court so fast.  I was mesmerized by how the ball would travel through the air and go through the hoop. It was the beginning of a love affair with the game of basketball that I would have for the rest of my life.  This current Golden State Warriors team with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green is the best team I've ever watched.  They have reignited my joy for the game and now I get to share this team with my kids and see them fall in love with this beautiful game as I once did.
