Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.

It’s often said that a seven-game series doesn’t truly begin until one of the teams wins on the road. After OKC won the first two games by 26 and 15 points, it looked like the Thunder would just overmatch the Timberwolves and cruise to the NBA Finals. But Minnesota won 49 games during the regular […]

The Pacers had the Royce Gracie choke hold on the Knicks in Game 3, leading by 20 at one point. But the Knicks battled back as Karl-Anthony Towns shelved the meows and provided roars after each trey and dime, leading New York to the comeback and eventual 106-100 victory. The 100 points were the fewest […]

After strutting out of NYC with two wins in MSG, the Indiana Pacers were smelling blood and swept the leg early on in Game 3, making John Kresse of Cobra Kai proud. Indiana won the first quarter by four points then went into halftime with an 11-point lead. At one point, they were up by […]

After a grueling seven-game series with the Denver Nuggets, the Oklahoma City Thunder carried the positive momentum into the Western Conference Finals and took care of business at home fairly easily. While I expected the Minnesota Timberwolves to play well at home in Game 3, to quote Caine from Menace II Society, “Damn, I never […]

When Team USA played hockey against the Soviet Union in Lake Placid, New York on February 22, 1980, the spread in talent between the two teams was Grand Canyon-esque. The Soviet Union consisted of professional players and had won the gold medal in five of six prior Winter Olympics. The USA squad was littered with […]
