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.

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...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 11/8/26

T he 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. More of El Sayed As the midterms approached, I found myself learning more and more about Dr. Abdul El Sayed. As an outsider, it very much felt like the Republicans feared his presence in these races (the way they did James Talarico - and we now know why). Yet, for me, it has since been after winning that I find myself somewhat fascinated by the prospect of El Sayed in government.  Of course, there was this video that made you go, hmm?  However, it was his recent response on a panel after being elected that has drawn me in on wanting to see more of what he does in Michigan.  I believe in a world where a Palestinian child and a Jewish Israeli child growing up in the Holy Land can look forward at their life and believe it is not going to be curtailed by somebody's violence. https://t.co/B0FDs...
