Rendered Worthless
From trusted halls where labor’s bonds were tied,A loyal servant, faithful and upright,Betrayed by hands that once stood by my side,My service rendered worthless in their sight.

What Might’ve Been: Budgetary Alternatives for the Seattle SuperSonics
John Finkel’s 2020 novel “Hoops Heist” details the Seattle Supersonics’ dramatic relocation to Oklahoma City. Being from the Pacific Northwest, I have always been particularly interested in how and why the Sonics left a supportive fanbase, especially as they were on the brink of stardom with young pieces like Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and SergeContinue reading “What Might’ve Been: Budgetary Alternatives for the Seattle SuperSonics”
