It’s not always the case that you can trace the current crop of key NBA players to a single team during a single season. But that’s exactly what the 2017-2018 season was for the Los Angeles Lakers.

With Aaron Rodgers in New York, the Jets and these other teams should improve

Not every team in the NFL can enjoy the same scope of success. After all, there are 32 teams and at the end of the season only one Super Bowl Champion.

The idea of Kevin Durant was always better than the real Kevin Durant

Whenever someone talks about Kevin Durant, they bring up what he is capable of doing a lot more than they bring up what he actually does. I could retire if I had a dollar for every time Stephen A.
