I relaxed in my basketball-shaped in-ground hot tub, enjoying the sublime duality of frigid winter air on my chest and steaming water on my lower half.

Isaiah Thomas took short, careful steps into the nightclub.

Kenneth Faried 26 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2015)

Kenneth Faried slaved away at the stovetop as Brahms’ piano concerto #2 in B-flat major played in the background. A loaf of the finest artisan sourdough lay on the counter next to a quantity of 20-year aged cheddar, both waiting to be consumed in the form of grilled cheese sandwiches. Suddenly, he heard the sound…
