Ever since the NBA’s inception in 1946, the league has always had a face to it. Whether it was Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan, there was always that one guy that everyone knew and related to the NBA. In simpler terms, the face of the league is essentially the player who at his time of playing is the most famous and recognizable figure, and embodies the league’s image.

I’ve been going to sports games for a long time — basically my whole life. Celtics and Bruins at TD Garden, Patriots at Gillette Stadium and Red Sox at Fenway Park. Regular season, postseason, preseason, you name the type of game and New England team and I’ve probably seen it. I go to these games to actually watch what’s happening, and I care about the outcome.

It’s rare in the world of professional sports when you get to witness a once-in-a-generation athlete. Those types of athletes are just so far and few between. Whether it was Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Bill Russell or Serena Williams, you usually know when you’re seeing someone special, someone that transcends the sport itself.

Trump’s ‘pick-me’ Cabinet picks

Nov 19, 2024 | quchronicle.com | Lillian Curtin

Since he’s been re-elected, it feels more like President-Elect Donald Trump is picking people that he wants to invite to his MAGA-themed birthday party, rather than picking people to run the country. First up, and quite a strong start to this list, is Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. Trump has thrown his hat in the ring for the position of Attorney General. Well, Gaetz’s road to this position isn’t going to be as easy as Trump’s other picks.

The key to conserving a closed mind is never exposing it to new ideas. Which is exactly what the right aspires to do by attacking the public education system. Conservatives wish to place limitations on education such as extensive book banning, eliminating critical race theory, limiting gender studies and more.

So it’s important to take care of yourself in order to face disappointment and potential heartache. Since some of the issues at stake can be very personal, it’s important to practice self-care in the wake of such an intense event.

I’ve been around a lot of doctors and nurses. I’ve spent a lot of time in hospitals. I trust them, a lot more than I trust some of my generation going into the workforce now as doctors, nurses and lawyers. So many high school and college students use AI, Chegg and other platforms to get their homework done.
