Sports Notes - MEDIA HARD ON HARDEN - May, 2022
WATCHA DONE 4 ME LATELY? - In my January 2021 column titled THE BIG 3 NO HAPPY BROOKLYN NETS I took my swipes at what appeared to me to be a no win situation of 3 superstars James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and only one ball. As I noted: Now here's when things get tricky… how long will this last?

Sports Notes - The Bashed Brothers - Harden & Westbrook - March, 2022
Trials & Tribulations - When it rains it pours, criticism that is. Since the New Year the media have been picking apart several players. We point out our observation regarding Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kooper Kupp, Hunter Renfrow and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith having taken center stage in this arena. It seems it's a case of reverse racism in some cases and disrespect while ignoring situations are another. WHAT'S UP WIT DAT? READ ON… - NBA's ALL TIME BEST PLAYERS 1st and 2nd TEAMS
