Something utterly magnificent happened recently, and quite frankly it’s something that has been on my mind ever since its occurrence. That’s right, against all odds I won a raffle for the latest pair of Yeezys. Oh and the Warriors won the whole thing. While they’re both intriguing topics, given the nature of the cover photo and the magnitude of the latter, I should probably explore the Dub’s W.
Read MoreWatching the NBA playoff series throughout the recent weeks has been an incredible display of both wild fluctuation and unrivaled certainty. If you aren’t the Warriors or (for the most part) the Cavs, you have been 20 points ahead or 20 points behind in any given game without much in between. Especially throughout some of the earlier series, it was wildly up in the air who would win each game. And I must say, that made it wildly entertaining.
Read MoreThis past week I had the exciting privilege to experience an element of life very few individuals find themselves in — caddying for a professional golfer. This journey brought me up north to a little town called Comox on Vancouver Island. The sights were special, but the escapade was altogether intriguing and insightful.
Read MoreToday marks the 1 year anniversary Kobe Bryant’s last game. What a game it was. In quintessential Kobe fashion, he took an insane amount of shots and tallied up an equally ludicrous 60 points. For presumably the first time in his career, he was getting told not to pass the ball. It was the perfect end to an unbelievable story that started with a young kid who had a dream to play basketball in purple and yellow.

Not necessarily because it trumps excitement level or boasts overwhelming viewership statistics, but because there is something intangibly special about the tournament. Watching these professionals battle it out on the back 9 in the late afternoon golden hour, where every stroke is amplified provides a storybook atmosphere that separates this stage from every other sports play.
Read MoreSunday was an amazing day for sports. Federer 2.0 served up a heated victory over Nadal in Miami, the Warriors continued their playoff preamble with another swift victory, and most notably the Giants took to the diamond for the first time this season. Seeing Crawford, Belt, Posey, and Bum out there again while listening to the comforting commentary of Kruk and Kuipe was blissful. Until the bottom of the 9th, that is…but we’ll tackle that in a bit.
Read MoreIt’s the final minutes of the 2nd half, the clock winding down, the ball is in the hands of a trailing team from the midwest while the opposing team from somewhere else in the country is counting their collegiate stars that the nonexistent college basketball defense miraculously materializes itself in this final play. 4…3…2…1…buzzer. Who won? Honestly, who cares?
Read MoreCircling the headlines and conversations of many sports authorities right now is the topic of resting major NBA stars. While this has been cogitated in the past, it has become a serious topic with the recent decisions by both Kerr and subsequently by Tyronn Lue to rest their starters. Both of these instances affected primetime matchups, but were they justified decisions?
Read MoreThe Warriors have found themselves in quite an interesting situation with the temporary absence of a superstar. The lanky Durant has been couch-locked with a broken leg, and since then the Warriors have been deadlocked in a losing slump. There are two sides to this recent conundrum, and both are very interesting perspectives.
Read MoreAmidst a sea of commentary revolving around number 35's most recent move across the country, you may find yourself frustratingly ambivalent about Durant and the Warriors. It's an odd move, and an even more odd thing to criticize once you look at the facts. Let's look at the facts.
