My dad started his career as a phys ed teacher, was my first coach, and shared his love of sports with all three of his kids. He passed away last week, but I’ll always be grateful for his support in helping me chase my dream and sharing a passion I continue to pursue.
Incredible how each game was the same.
Spurs double-digit lead, Brunson gets going, Spurs fall apart, too much Fox, Wemby gasses, Knicks hit clutch shots.
Unbelievable win for New York

Life's not too different. If you put in an honest effort and take care of those closest to you, you'll be rewarded.
With all that in mind, I'm pumped to share:

Genuinely pathetic the way some pounced on one of the best journalists we have in this country over an obvious mistake.
Guy takes what he does seriously, but also helpful to others and as good a person as we have in this business
I want to explain and hopefully shed some light on what happened with regard to my all-NBA ballot. The short version: Apologies for a sincere mistake and for any subsequent confusion. A more detailed explanation is here ⬇️:
