The moment that happened last night is one that will always stay with yours truly. As a huge fan of Mariano Rivera - actually, he's my favorite athlete of all-time - watching his final moments was tough, but at the same time something well deserved for Rivera. The last player to ever wear #42 exited into the arms of Andy Pettitte and Derek Jeter to officially mark the end of an era for all Yankees fans. Just as cool as his All-Star moment was, this is one that all Yankees fans, and all baseball fans, will never forget. Thanks for everything Mo!
Welcome to the NBA, Bronny James! In what was the worst-kept novelty of a storyline in the sports world in LeBron and Bronny one day gracing the NBA together, we're finally here! First, congrats to Bronny! Entering the NBA is incredibly difficult, especially more than ever considering its global reach. Regardless, he is now part of the fraternity and amongst the elite in the game. Haters will say what they want, but he's there. And second, congratulations to LeBron and Savannah James. What will be lost in all of this is that they raised a strong young man who yes, took advantage of his access and genetics, and is now at this point in his life - his ultimate goal. Bronny at the core, had no reason to want this - none. He easily could have rested, relaxed, and enjoyed the spoils of this birth lottery. Instead, he wanted what h knew would be the shadow of a massive legacy - and still did the work. That takes guts. I commend the kid for not resting on Dad's name and wealth.
