I have a confession…
Last night, I listened to a broadcast, of a fake NBA game (from NBA.fm), and REALLY enjoyed it. I didn’t listen to the entire game, but the part I did listen to, I liked.
Yes I know how dumb this sounds - play-by-play calling an imaginary NBA game. But for a brief second it felt like everything was as it once was. I highly recommend listening in to a game, even if only for a minute.
Okay, now back to what you came here for.
See you tomorrow!

Nipsey Hussle’s Final Act Continues: Fighting Gentrification
Further proving how special Nipsey was.
“In our culture, there’s a narrative that says, ‘Follow the athletes, follow the entertainers,’” Hussle told the Los Angeles Times on opening day. “And that’s cool, but there should be something that says, ‘Follow Elon Musk, follow [Mark] Zuckerberg.’ I think that with me being influential as an artist and young and coming from the inner city, it makes sense for me to be one of the people that’s waving that flag.”

This track starts with a pretty inspiring monologue about “adversity” - which I’m sure we could all use a little of that today.

Cannonball Adderly's "Mercy Mercy Mercy" is one of the best tracks ever recorded. My dad used to play that on vinyl on Saturdays all the time when I was a kid. Its epic.
