An open letter to Adam Silver
Dear Mr. Silver,
A few days ago, you publicly said that the NBA’s superstars were not participating in enough games per season. That it was a problem, and that you didn’t have the solution right now. I have a proposal for you, one which I believe will raise the percentage of games played per year of your superstars, gives you the tournament you’ve been talking about the last few years, shortens the season without hurting your TV deals, and helps eliminate the problem of tanking. Would you like me to say more?

Return to Play with the OBA
We sat down with our partners at the Ontario Basketball Association (OBA) to discuss the “return to play” strategy, player safety and the future of basketball in Ontario.
"We love getting in the gym and seeing some of the amazing coaches, referees, and players in this province! It brings us back to why we do this job. That’s been the hardest part of the last year-and-a-half of working without any games taking place."

SHOE ATTRACTION
This month we linked up with @Phoenix.reviews from @hoops_sneakers_ to get the 411 on the DON 3 from Donovan Mitchell's signature line.
"When it comes to the traction the DON lineup has had some issues. The DON 1 used a full length herringbone and it played okay, but picked up a lot of dust and became inconsistent rather quick."
