OK Kyrie Irving, you’re scary too

I recently talked about how scary Russell Westbrook must be to guard. A couple days after that post, Kyrie Irving went off for 57 points.

Anything can happen when a diverse set of people share common space as we do everyday in big cities across the country. A lot of these interactions happen on public transportation.

Carmelo plays in All-Star Game, then quits on Knicks (and no one is surprised)

Of course Carmelo Anthony played in the 2015 NBA All-Star Game and called it a season a couple days after. It would have been out of character if he didn’t.

Oh, the Grammy Awards. Let’s get straight to the point about the Grammy Awards; it’s as much about celebrating the art as much as it is a popularity contest that serves to reward specific tastes.

That’s not “AMAZING” so please stop saying it

The word “amazing” has lost all of its meaning. The word has been the adjective du jour for several years now. And as with anything that pop culture gets its grip on; it’s been overused, strangled, and choked to death.
