Some people prefer not to take the easy route. Others, not so much.

Good beer, cheese and access to the lake. I think it had strong Polish roots at one time—or maybe German, which explains the thing with the beer.

Plus, it’s not Chicago.
 
Dear goodness James Harden has gained a lot of weight:
 
The NBA is about good storylines. Look at a good movie or soap opera, the NBA needs good stories. Giannis staying in Milwaukee is not a good story.

Giannis, he needed to see the BIGGER PICTURE. Imagine him in Dallas, Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles!

Look at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar after he left Milwaukee, or Shaq after he left Orlando.

The Bucks roster is not championship caliber. He will regret this decision dearly.

I’d love to have seen him Miami, an international city that would have jacked up his marketing ability. But, this is better for the league.

He always has looked a bit unkempt, more like a spectator than a superstar.
 
The Rockets-Thunder game has been postponed due to the Rockets not having enough players.
 
People have to understand the NBA will be the new "king" passing over the NFL and MLB in the next decade.

The NBA is ahead of MLB and NFL progressively. The NBA actually talks and embraces social issues. NFL and MLB are like old boy networks. They are stuck in a 90s paradigm.

The NBA has embraced the internet the best. The NBA has over 4 million Twitter followers, that's 3 million more than MLB (LOL) and more than the NFL, which is shocking given how many more players are in the NFL.

Most importantly, the NBA does the best job of marketing its stars and embraces social media. MLB is terrible. NFL only markets quarterbacks...

MLB is dead.

NFL has serious CTE issues that they are still trying to bury, but it has cost them a lot of fans. Besides, the games are now boring.

NBA has a defense problem during the regular season. They need to overcome that.

Hockey is king...in Canada.

Leonard didn't play but the rest did. I guess this just shows how flawed the Clippers roster is.

If I were a Clippers fan, I would be nervous about relying on Paul George during the playoffs.

It’s probably going to be Brooklyn this year, if KD and Chuck stay healthy. Lakers, if LeBron’s wheels stay on. And, I guess the Bucks might make some noise. I doubt the Clippers get mentioned much.

Cleveland is 2-0, obviously it is way early. But, yeah, I do expect Indy to make a splash, at least until they face the Bucks and Nets.

He was a solid executive. His only move I didn't like was trading Antonio Davis, my favorite Pacer ATT, to draft Jonathan Bender, who was turned into a bust by injuries. Oh well, still a fine executive overall.

Kyrie Irving hasn’t been playing for the Brooklyn Nets over the past week. It now turns out he may not be watching them either.

Irving, who hasn’t appeared in a game for the Nets since Jan. 5 due to “personal reasons” spent part of his Tuesday night on a Zoom call with volunteers and supporters for the campaign of Manhattan district attorney candidate Tahanie Aboushi, according to a screengrab tweeted out by the candidate.

At the same time, Irving’s team was playing the Denver Nuggets.

Here’s what Kyrie Irving is up to now
Also on the call was former New York gubernatorial candidate and actress Cynthia Nixon. Irving was apparently on the call as “Kai Irving.”
