The Last Decision
Just when you think the discussion for "a new face of the NBA" has some legs, LeBron James - at 41 years old - drops a post on X and sends the sports world into chaos. Even at this stage, it's rather amazing to see how many talking pundits and heads make their career off of James, or the James vs. Jordan (tired) debate.
From a basketball standpoint, it's fun. He can still play! Which is widely missed in so many ridiculous takes, for the sake of taking a position on LeBron. I don't blame him at all for trying to win. Isn't that what everyone is trying to do? What's he supposed to do, sign with Sacramento?
Tornado Warnings
It feels like we've seen more and more tornadoes as of late around the country, and in rare parts of the United States. I live in New Jersey. On a work trip driving back from Princeton University, I found myself within the vicinity of an active tornado. I've never experienced a phone alert more than a warning - as it stated, "critical alert, find shelter immediately." Luckily, things worked out well after I made my way of a stalled highway to a nearby gas station.
The extreme weather gets weirder and more real every year.
My heart and prayers go out to those who were actually victims of tornadoes this week. Not everyone was so lucky.
Choosin' Texas
I enjoyed Ella Langley's Dandelion album, and yes, I too am a fan of "Choosin' Texas". However, I did not see Langley having the success with the single that she is currently enjoying. "Choosin Texas" is set to break some big-time records held by greats such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
Many music-heads will have plenty to say about this, but facts are facts - Langley is crushing 2026.
