Could you blame him?  Remember a few years back when this was brewing with both Irving and Durant wanting to play together. This was thought to be a beatable combination. Let’s see; Durant had that injury, and Kyrie pretty much had to carry the team in the 2019-2020 season. Kevin comes back late in the 2020-2021 season and plays 35 …READ MORE

Lester–Uncategorized–

The Covid 19 Vaccinations are being handed out, and it seems as though state government officials are opening up business slowly. The decline in the L.A. area has changed several areas to the moderate threat of virus contamination. What does this mean?

Lester–Baseball, Uncategorized–

Dick Allen was known back then as Richie Allen. A name that we are not quite sure as to how he got, as he was known as Dick growing up.
