Ya dude.. WoW has always been more important than Basketball.
AK started playing basketball at the age of 10, which would be in 1991. I won't even go off on how Warcraft didn't even come out until 1994, let alone WoW in 2004, and just say I'm pretty sure the internet couldn't have handled such a bandwidth back in 1991, which begs the question of How, exactly, WoW was "always more important" to him.
Now, if we can get him on the cheap, I'm pretty sure we can get Blizzard to invest in our team. That, would be worth it for all the cool schwag, and seeing "Paul Willsap" NPC's, and ofcourse a Heroic instance where the Burning Legion, led by Sheron Milliams, is threatening to take over Undercity from Sylvannas.
