So much drama surrounding Duke basketball lately, my goodness. I'm not only talking about the dark Kyle Filipowski grooming story, either. That alone is its own can of worms. JJ Redick went from Blue Devils villain to respectable NBA vet to influential media personality to Lakers head coach at a dizzying rate. Redick had to sign off on LA's decision to draft Bronny James, although I'm sure he knew about that plan before taking the gig.

Jayson Tatum just played a huge role in the Celtics' 18th championship banner to edge ahead of Redick's Lakers in the all-time record books. Still,...

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The Philadelphia 76ers used their second-round selection, the No. 41 overall pick, to add a big man who's flashed immense potential in former UCLA Bruins forward Adem Bona. The 21-year-old played two seasons for the Bruins and was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year following a season in which he averaged 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game.While Bona will likely need time to continue to develop his game before making an impact at the NBA level, his jump from year one to year two at UCLA was a positive sign.
