This Wednesday Kobe will play his final NBA game. No other player since Jordan has defined Sinatra’s My Way:
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

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…
The series follows The Savant an undercover investigator as she infiltrates online hate groups to stop domestic extremists before they act.
The return of a fresh NBA season brings with it the fist pumping joy of…commercials.
Surprisingly it’s not all about the Superbowl; throughout the NBA season viewers will chuckle, marvel and even gasp at some of the marvelous ads. The commercials are as much a fun part of the entertainment package as the actual games and household name players.
The 70th NBA season begins on Tuesday, October 27.
Following a Warriors championship (that my co-host on Garbage Time Craig White readily marks with an asterisk because they didn’t defeat healthy teams) there were trades and signings and rookies and coaching changes: I’m waiting for the dust to settle to see what the new starting 5s will look like.
In the meantime here are a handful of NBA storylines I’m eagerly following…
If the NBA was gym class…would you draft Dirk Nowitzki? I dunno…I struggle with Nowitzki. He’s got an amazing shot, for true (hence the name of his doc Der perfekte Wurf). But that fire…that fiery assassin desire to utterly destroy you that Jordan, Kobe et al. exhibit doesn’t seem to be present with Nowitzki.
My Summer Lair host Sammy Younan talks to artist Craig White to discuss his art and NBA basketball.
