It's Good! It's Good! It's Good!

"Brunson gets it, fires up a three. Shot no good. The tip, IT'S GOOD! IT'S GOOD! IT'S GOOD! With 1.2 remaining! Knicks take the lead! OG Anunoby! And it's 107-106! Bedlam here at the Garden! They can't believe it!"

I leapt off my couch, the blanket that was on top of me spraying wildly away upon my rapid motion. 

I couldn't believe it. 

Yes, it was good! (x3)

Sports present plenty of moments and plays that grip us. Very few really resonate with us. For me, the Derek Jeter Flip Play will always be that moment for me. Like this one, I jumped out of my bed with instant disbelief, my emotions unraveling, and my impulses shocked. 

OG Anunoby's Tip-in now finds room on the mental (and emotional shelf) with the Flip Play. 

I will forever remember Mike Breen's call. Forever will have goosebumps EVERY this moment is replayed...relived. 

It's good. It's good. It's good. 

So good.

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...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 6/7/26

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. Artificial Intelligence in K-12 This week, I had the opportunity to talk to two dads who work in K-12 education. One is a teacher, and the other is a tech engineer who provides the digital infrastructure for a school district. What I came away with was that artificial intelligence was being slowly integrated into teachers' everyday lives, with some restrictions. However, the tech engineer gave me real insight (with real-time laptop evidence) of some of the tools being built to automate everything from bus schedules and communications to medical visits and disciplinary processes.  All of that to say, just when you think you understand the power of A.I., there are so many levels to it all .  So many...
