Hear me out: Klay Thompson's return alone does not restore Dubs to NBA’s elite
The Golden State Warriors had a pretty disappointing season.

NIL is a long time coming, but still more work to do
College athletes finally being able to make money from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) obviously is a huge step forward after decades of outright exploitation under the guise of the NCAA maintaining a standard of amateurism.
