The league is stronger than ever from a talent-distribution standpoint.

The NBA used to be a strong-link sport—one player could carry a team to a title.

Today, success depends who has the more players that can pass, dribble, shoot, & defend at a high level.

For comparison, here are the previous 32 NBA champions.

Drake choosing to over saturate the market with 3 albums of music is certainly a strategic choice.

Give people so much to sort through you make reaching a consensus nearly impossible.

Personally, I think if any part of the government is shutdown Members of Congress should also not get paid.

Additionally, during such a shutdown they should not be able to leave DC and should be in session every day until said issue is resolved.

That would solve things quick!

For today's Sunday Review, we're looking back at the 1982 breakthrough from a California pianist and songwriter whose effortless fusion of R&B, disco, and jazz defied any attempts to pin her down https://t.co/XsXyIiESJ3

If your favorite Jay Z song is “Forever Young”, “Run This Town”, or “Empire State of Mind” you should be banned from getting tix.

The entire year the convo revolving around the NBA is that the regular season is too long and doesn’t matter.

Adding two more teams to the league for largely financial reasons will only make that problem worse.

Just in: The NBA will hold a vote at the Board of Governors meetings March 24-25 to explore adding expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, with the two franchises targeted for the 2028-29 season, sources tell ESPN. There is momentum for stakeholders to approve surveying what industry executives project will be bids in the $7-to-$10 billion range for each team.

I thought One Battle After Another was entertaining, but to call it the best movie feels like a bit much, especially considering how disjointed the movie felt in real time…

[NDL @TrueLyonKing]

Unrelated but I feel strongly that no conference winner should have to play in the first four games. Getting an automatic bid should be exactly that.

The first four games should be with the last four non-conference teams in the tournament.

They had KG going to war by himself in the West against prime Duncan/Robinson, CWebb/Vlade, 3-peat Shaq, and Dirk.
