Follow the NBA - or anything, really - for too long, and your brain gets sentenced to myopia. You think about the game one way, honoring outworn rules and traditions and beliefs, shunning innovation as radical behavior.

It was the first 80-degree day of 2025, and when the Pacific Northwest is blessed with a May surprise, the people-watching is as delightful as the sunshine. An old man wore a Speedo and sunbathed in the park at Green Lake. No one cared.
