2021-0113 Every 24… 718 PM We're four games into the first day of the NHL season. The NFL is in the swell of playoffs. College football excitement has waned in the most recent episode of The Tide and The Others. In the ebb and excitement of ten games into the NBA's young season, there are two players that have continued to grab the spotlight. Many of the NBA players are passing, dribbling, shooting, blocking and dunking their way to Top 10 reels across media sites, but only two have given us content that rises above athletic ability and basketball IQ. James Harden has quit on the Rockets while seeming to feel that he has done all he can and others have made this situation too toxic to heal. "It can't be fixed." I heard James say in a byte from his recent press conference. Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving is MIA while video of him at a children's party and at a political Zoom meeting have surfaced. After requesting some time off, he'll have spent a week away from the team, when added to the covid days he was required away from team activities. Today, like the combination of raisins and peanuts, these two forces of media influence have come to reside in the same space. James Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. "As part of the complicated deal, Caris LeVert is moving to the Pacers, Jarrett Allen is going to the Cavaliers and Victor Oladipo and an array of draft picks are being sent to Houston." This, according to Sporting News. Rarely does the man-opera of sports give us gems like these. Please follow me, as I follow this yellow brick road. This is bakesHere. ACQUIRE as NEEDED (daily)
