Grew up listening to Eagles nonstop because my parents loved them, so when my dad passed away I knew my mom and I had to see them play. Made a quick day trip to Vegas for their show at the Sphere. Incredible venue with unreal sound quality. Oh, & these guys still sound sensational in their 70s (with Vince Gill + Deacon Frey as great additions.) I have heard Don Henley sing One of these Nights live; therefore I am complete.

Such a classy move by the Houston Rockets. Ime Udoka just presented Jonathan Feigen with a game ball. Jonathan is retiring after decades covering the team for the Houston Chronicle. Jonathan’s coverage was unmatched and will be missed!

Kevin Durant on Jabari Smith Jr: “Me & Bari have talked a lot about us taking the shots we want to take, not letting the defense dictate what we do out there, using our length and our size to get shots off…” Truly cool that Bari is learning from KD.

Part of a Feb 2024 chat w/ Tiago Splitter who helped Alperen Sengun grow into an All-Star. How he approached relationship? Get to know the person before the player, make a plan, and be honest. “It’s a mix…tell them the truth. Don’t sugarcoat everything…”

Jeff Green is such an important veteran on this Rockets team. Encouragement & a laugh for the guys before each game. As you can tell, everybody loves Uncle Jeff… (even the other team.)
