A lot of sports narratives are pushed and forced through the media and often times dramatically exaggeratedā¦ HOWEVER the James Harden narrative is spot on.
Heās a certified playoff bed wetter and the Cavs game 7 win shielded him from an all time bad performance and he just continues to suck.
Never trade for losers.

The Mets are on an 11-game losing streakā¦ but if Speedy Claxton throws out the first pitch and it sparks a turnaround, that will be his true crowning achievement.
No pressure, Coach.
A legendary Hofstra team, a New York moment.
Celebrating our CAA Champions as Speedy Claxton takes the mound on April 24.

Looks like Cruz Davis is headed home to Texas, with reports saying heās committed to Texas Tech.
Couldnāt be happier for him. Heās a genuinely humble, high-character person.
Forever going to be a Hofstra legend.

I have something very similar in the works - but if you want a raw, emotional look into the memories that were made these past few weeks from a student perspective, this is such an awesome piece by Eric.
