Sunday Sundown Rundown - 5/26/13

3 Up

1. Memorial Day Weekend - Always a favorite of mine because it usually includes my birthday; is the unofficial start of summer; a three day weekend; and of course, commemorates those who have served to give us the right to enjoy all of the former with freedom.  

2. Kevin Durant - Donating $1 Million for tornado relief in Oklahoma as well as visiting the site and taking time to listen to the stories of those are suffering is remarkable. Super Kudos to KD. 

3. Birthdays - I turned 28 yesterday. I have never been one to make my birthday into a big deal, but I always appreciate the idea of celebrating one more year on God's green earth.

3 Down

1. Moore, Oklahoma - It's devastating to see the pictures of Moore, Oklahoma and to see those who have either lost everything, or have lost a loved one. 

2. London Butcher Attacks - Terrorism and extremism is becoming as common as walking down the street now, and suddenly being attacked so some radical can make a senseless point through cowardice violence.  

3. Amanda Bynes - What in the world is happening to her? Why do child stars suddenly go wrong when they turn twenty?

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: 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend

Contrary to the discourse that always surrounds the NBA All-Star Weekend, I genuinely enjoyed the weekend, and even more so, the All-Star Game. No, for real. All love here.  Although the Dunk Contest really is on its last legs. That was tough to watch.  Nonetheless, I'm keeping it all good vibes on this one as a fan. Just a quick Pondering 10 on my favorite things from the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend.  --- View this post on Instagram A post shared by New York Knicks 🏀 (@nyknicks) 10. JB vs. KAT Moment Big Knicks homer moment here. If you frequent these parts, you already know that. Watching the Captain go at KAT brought a moment of joy for all of us in Knicks fandom. Neither one came away with anything. I'm just glad they're in perfect health as we head toward the second half of the season with the Playoffs looming.  9.
