If Reggie Lewis had never hooped again, but got well enough to be a dad, a husband, a leader in his community or perhaps on a bigger stage, that would’ve been a good outcome. He deserved to live his life, even if it had to be without basketball. To lose him like we did was just cruel. #CelticsCity

Jim Bouton broke so many unwritten rules with his book, and it was awesome. 😂

There’s only 9 squares! And I used Travis Knight! But mostly, Chris Mihm’s rarity score is (oddly) usually higher than most other players in the BOS-LA realm.

You’re an old-school baseball fan if you know the Brewers began as the Seattle Pilots in the American League. And their move to Milwaukee led to the founding of the Seattle Mariners. And the Brewers won their only pennant when they were still in the AL.

Answer: No, this has not happened before.

(I checked the list of all World Series match-ups)

Has there been a Job Title v Job Title World Series before? Guessing Mariners v Brewers would be the first??

Worst basketball puzzle ever. Salvaged it by answering only with former Celtics.

The worst of all possible outcomes. Last year I ignored the entire WS because it’s not interesting to watch the same franchises repeatedly. If it’s not the Sox, new blood is way more compelling.

Milwaukee and Seattle both now one series win away from the World Series. Brewers vs. Mariners would guarantee a first-time champion, and I’d watch the hell out of that. Let’s make it happen.

Disregard what just happened in Toronto. Instead, take a look back at the glorious win in Memphis (and other topics). And for extra entertainment, enjoy the weird technical glitch in the first 12 minutes of the video. 🙃

NBA momentum in full effect. Raptors making every play, hitting threes. Almost unbelievable that one of their hoops was waved off for traveling.

Mike Dynon ☘️🏀 18🏆 @mikedynon.bsky.social · 1d

27 point lead down to 6. Old habits die hard.

Chris Boucher first half vs. his former team: 17 pts, 6-8 shooting, 2-4 threes, game-high 7 rebs.

I'm enjoying Minott.

Hugo runs into a pick, the Raptor falls down and gets the call. Hugo's reaction: "That's a bullshit foul."

The young man is gonna be a great fit in Boston.

Consecutive putback hoops by Boucher and Hugo. Celtics with 9-3 advantage in 2nd chance points.

Mike Dynon ☘️🏀 18🏆 @mikedynon.bsky.social · 1d

There weren't quite enough wins, but WCT sure was a lot of fun.

Starting the campaign early: Josh Minott for DPOY.

Anyone who's ever visited Portland knows the people have only one agenda:

Your bobble head collection is eclectic to say the least. An artist, a musician, jai alai players. That’s Kyle style! 😅
