Ahmad is a sports writer from Pasadena, CA who has been a fan of LA sports for as long as he can remember. Some of his earliest memories were in the early 2000s — the Lakers' three-peat, the St. Louis Rams' Greatest Show on Turf, and the Cobi Jones/Carlos Ruiz LA Galaxy duo. There's no better time than now to be a fan of the LA sports teams.
