Miguel de Guzman is a basketball writer at Sportskeeda who played the sport throughout high school and college. Miguel's on-court experiences as a power forward and small forward give him a unique perspective on the game, and after setbacks due to injuries, Miguel transitioned into coaching roles for high school and college teams.

For Miguel, the San Antonio Spurs, especially during the Tim Duncan era, were the embodiment of team basketball. He respects Gregg Popovich's empathy toward his players and how he prioritizes their well-being. 

The Spurs' titles, Kobe Bryant's poignant "Dear Basketball" tribute, Derrick Rose's remarkable 50-point game with Minnesota and Magic Johnson's remarkable comeback are among Miguel's top basketball moments.

The mental aspects of the game fascinate Miguel, and for him, basketball is about the strategic adjustments players make, the mistakes they learn from and the camaraderie they forge on the court.

Miguel follows other sports, particularly the NFL, and when not working he enjoys hobbies like cooking and playing video games.
