“Entering the 1997-98 NBA season, the Chicago Bulls had won 5 championships in the previous 7 years. But as they sought their second three-peat, the future of the dynasty was in doubt.

If (when???) the Warriors win a championship this year it’ll officially mark the end of the LeBron James era.
All-Star Weekend has come and gone. It was freezing and for reasons nobody can properly articulate Sting performed. The coolest aspect of All-Star Weekend was the Jordan store at Yonge-Dundas. S’gone now without a note on the dresser. Damn.
Last half of the 70th NBA season…let’s get down to business. Some of the storylines I was following when the season started are unfolding…
