Sunday Sundown Rundown - 5/10/26

The Sunday Sundown Rundown (formerly in the format of "3 Up and 3 Down") is where I share thoughts on three topics that piqued my interest, along with my favorite photo from the week.


Mother's Day

On this Mother's Day, I found myself thinking not just about the women in my life who are mothers, but more so, how we collectively as a society honor moms. The work is unconditional and incomparable. However, do we have a culture of supporting moms, like truly giving mothers opportunities to feel valued and supported? Again, just a thought...

Nonetheless, Happy Mother's Day to the various definitions of moms out there. I hope you had a tremendous day. 


Cloud Knicks

I would be remiss if I didn't drop some Knicks love on this week's Sunday Sundown Rundown. Complete domination of the 76ers for a sweep en route to our second Eastern Conference Finals appearance. These are the times I likely will look back on, like the 90's Knicks. #LGK


Here We Go Again

There is a Hantavirus scare, and some similar (and triggering) concepts, words, and treatment are coming up once again. It's international. There is quarantining and all sorts of contact tracing. And yes, there have been some deaths. As a millennial, I can't take on another world event...

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

The Pondering 10 - Favorite Knicks Head Coaches

I'm still on a championship high (probably until Banner night in October to be honest), so I'm dropping more Pondering 10s as my brain (and heart) works through all of the emotions and reflection from my beloved New York Knicks - 2025-2026 NBA Champions!  Let's talk coaches.  We've been through so many. My fellow Knicks fans, we've seen so many coaches walk the sidelines of Madison Square Garden, and the recent championship is so amazing to think about - Mike Brown, one year, title.  With that said, here is a list of my favorite Knicks Coaches (in my lifetime, so no Red Holtzman). It's tougher than you think, but we're doing it.  To begin, here are those banned from this list. On the sheer qualifier that these coaches - by fault of their own, or maybe not - will always resonate with disdain and the lowest of the lows.  Derek Fisher Oh, the Phil Jackson era. When we were given a coach who had never done so before, implementing the triangle offense was more im...
