A month ago, Lakeland Middle School lost one of our own when 8th grader Wyatt Bagne tragically passed away in an accident.
Wyatt was a huge Phoenix Suns fan, and thanks to the incredible generosity of Suns owner Mat Ishbia, @kristenkenyon , @_josh_mccann and everyone with the Phoenix Suns organization, a custom Suns jersey with Wyatt’s #44 and “Bagne” on the back arrived just in time for his Celebration of Life.
We were honored to present it to Wyatt’s family, and it was a powerful reminder that kindness can travel a long way and make a real difference during difficult times.
Thank you for taking the time to read Wyatt’s story and for helping us honor his memory. Your compassion meant more than you know.
Curry in 14 seasons without Durant:
• Missed playoffs 7x
• Lost in 1st round 1x
• Lost in 2nd round 3x
• Won 2015 Finals after facing CLE without #2 & #3 players
• Blew 3-1 lead in 2016 Finals
• Won 2022 Finals
That resume is not that great without Durant.
Durant was in the WCF 4x without Curry when he was in OKC. One NBA Finals (lost vs. healthy Miami team).
A smaller foot away from taking the Nets to the ECF in 2021.
This is not the argument you think it is.
And both of them couldn't win a ring without the aid of injuries to opponents (Irving/Love, Kawhi in 2017, Paul in 2018, Murray/Morant in 2022).
Durant losing his only non-Curry Finals to a strong Miami team while Curry gets to beat up on Delly and a young Boston team? Whatever man.
I don't have to respect it.
The Reading Fightin’ Phils will become the Reading Iced Coffees for their annual morning game this year (Tuesday, August 25).
Here is the hat and jersey.
