PREMIUMIZATION BLAZERS DEBUT

Premiumization Blazers are who we see play after the Lillard Era ends. Has it ended? After last night’s Summer League game it sure looks done. And now?

INSIDE HISTORY? FIND AN INSIDER

How does anyone get the real story inside history? Read books, watch documentaries, tour museums? That’s a good start, and for many an end to the story. But what if you want more because you know there’s more out there?

ATTENTION ECONOMY SPENDING CAP

Google’s response to ‘Attention Economy’ is “About 569,000,000 results (0.47 seconds).” I didn’t read them all, but the first few referred to the ‘so-called’ attention economy. ‘So-called’ because no one wants to be shamed for thinking there’s such a thing as an attention economy?

QUIET REQUEST: MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN IT MATTERS

A quiet request often gets lost in the noise of, “OMG, WHAT JUST HAPPENED.” It gets drowned out in, “PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.” But if you listen hard, you hear the quiet request, the gentle reminder, the question that needs answering.

HOW BASKETBALL CREATED A COMMUNITY OF FRIENDSHIP

FATHER’S DAY INSPECTION

This is a Father’s Day inspection I’m glad I didn’t see as a kid. My dad is the guy with the sword. A sword?
