BASKETBALL
Basketball was my first love; she was there before my Queens and the bevy of Co-Eds that came along once they saw us together. She was there in the beginning; I was an 8-year-old unknown baller. We rode together on my bike to the Spindale House to sign up to play with her. Our love affair only increased when I got my own later that year, I took her to the Carver Middle school ball field.

Thoughts on the last dance
Seeing the Last Dance on Netflix showed me a little bit about hoops in the age of Michael Jordan. I know it's a little late for a Last Dance review, but with Scottie Pippen's new book, it feels appropriate. As Scottie tries to recover his place on the Chicago Bulls' championship teams.

The Problem with The Process
Sam Hinkie convinced the city of Philadelphia that he could build a successful team through the draft. Almost a decade ago, he made promises of the next Golden State. Assuring they would have a team full of All-Stars. To the average fan the prospects were glorious. It’s impossible to compete for a title without a superstar. Why would you want to be a 3 or 4 seed when you could be winning a championship? All you had to do was game the system. Of course we can do it, because Sam and by extension this city is smarter. Yeah Right.

Trae Young is officially a SUPERSTAR
Game 1 Atlanta Hawks: 116 Milwaukee Bucks: 113 Here we go again. That's three straight Game ones with the Hawks playing as the undisputed underdogs, and that's three straight game one wins for the Hawks. Time and time again we have gone into the series with nobody on our side and everyone doubting us, and we continue to prove everybody wrong. I love it.
